I decided to go with a cleric/wizard from Thrane, a true believer in the Silver Flame who recently had to make a choice to leave her home after a falling out with her father and the Church. I'll get some basic stats up, but I don't think it will be a tricky build. I'm leaning toward ranks in Knowledge (various), Diplomacy, and Spellcraft, a spell list biased toward utility rather than flashy effects, a hawk as familiar, and funds spent on simple items and a bag o' scrolls. I have an illustration that will work perfectly that I'll edit in tomorrow.Glasia DomarusCloistered Cleric 1/Wizard 3Time to go.The young woman steps up to the small stair that leads into the cabin of the lightning rail. It was a step she had taken many times before, but this time the journey was different. This time the trip would not end in Sigilstar or even Aruldusk, but would continue far from her homeland, deep into the Lhazaar Principalities to the city of Tantamar, bound for Port Verge. It will be the farthest I’ve been from home, she mused as she entered the well-appointed cabin. Anyone who looked at her eyes could see she was nervous if they could peer beneath the hood she wore. The traveler’s cloak and gleaming symbol of the Silver Flame she wore about her neck, the only item visible aside from the thick woolen mantle, made it clear that she was seeking privacy, and the reserved and restrained people of Thrane were happy to respect her wishes. She carried a birdcage, carefully covered with silk to shut out the world, from which emitted soft clacking noises then and again. Hushing the inhabitant gently, she sat down in the thick cushions, her head low.What am I doing? She clenched her jaw. For Hariel.<img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/Bobitron/313a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> Background: Glasia Domarus was the eldest daughter of Bishop Domarus, a popular priest of the Silver Flame with a reputation for administration and faith that was sure to earn him an honored position in the Council. Under constant scrutiny, she grew up even more religious than the average Thrane, the tenants of the faith forever etched into her mind. She studied at the finest schools Flamekeep had to offer. Success at courses in Theology and History came naturally to the bright youth, but what truly got her mind and heart racing was Wizardry. A visiting professor from Sigilstar instilled a love of the art of wizardry and an open mind in her being, and she took to the study of spellcraft with a passion. She served her father willingly once her studies were complete, helping him with practical and mystical knowledge as he slowly built up the support he would need for the transition to Cardinal. The future seemed bright and the road ahead as clear as day.Until the morning of Sul, the third week of Dravago, one month ago. Glasia’s beloved younger sister, Hariel, awoke in a fever. She spoke in a strange language unlike anything Glasia had ever heard. Even her magic could not decipher its meaning. Her father’s young assistant, a crooked man named Suthat who was rumored to be watching over her father for the council, recognized it instantly. Demon, he called her. Unclean, he said. Tainted, he hissed. Calling on a exorcist to clean her of the possession proved unsuccessful. Her father, fearing the stain on his reputation, ordered her locked away in a small monastery leagues from the city, where sisters of the Church kept her locked under constant guard, refusing all visitation. Certain that Suthat and some high-ranking member of the Council was behind the events, carefully constructed to test her father’s dedication to the reputation of the Cardinals, Glasia began to seek out her own cure. Her father was furious, disowning her and refusing to speak with his eldest again. After weeks of searching, exhausting all the favors she had accumulated over the years, Glasia found one man who could return her sister to normality. Decanar Versius is an unconventional man with unconventional desires. He demanded a magical tome in return for his services, unique and unseen except in the most complete collection in Flamekeep, known as Flavin’s Compendium. The owner has placed an enormous price on the book of over 50,000 gold, a sum more than ten times what Glasia could possibly earn in years of work as a simple scribe or translator. Even serving as a pet wizard to a rich employer wouldn’t raise the funds.Glasia doesn’t know how the enigmatic Elinvath Sargessean became aware of her name or her desire for gold, but she sees the trip to Lhazaar as the only way to save her sister from a fate worse than death. Desperate for both the gold and a feeling of accomplishing something to help her dear Hariel, she leaves the comfort of her bright apartment in Flamekeep and joins five other heroes from all around Khorvaire with only one thing in common; a letter.Personality: Glasia is young and new to the world outside Thrane. She can seem confused and bewildered by the behavior of those around her at times, but she learns quickly. She is unfailingly polite and reserved, soft-spoken and dedicated. Her faith is still strong despite the way the Church and her father have let her down, and she tries her best to live by the tenants of the Silver Flame even though she left direct service as a cleric years ago. She knows in her heart that one day she will have to choose between doing what the Church sees as proper and what she needs to do to save her sister. The decision won’t be hard to make; Hariel comes first.Stats:[sblock]Name: Glasia DomarusClass: Cloistered Cleric 1/Wizard 3Race: HumanHit Dice: 1d6+3d4, 15 HPInitiative: +0Speed: 30ftArmor Class: (10)Base Attack Bonus: +1Grapple: +1Attacks: Dagger +1 (1d4, 19-20 x2, 10 range)Full Attack: Dagger +1 (1d4, 19-20 x2, 10 range)Face/Reach: 5x5/5ftSpecial Qualities: Human TraitsSpecial Attacks: NoneSaves: Fort +3, Ref +1, Will +7Abilities: Strength 10, Dexterity 11, Constitution 10, Intelligence 18, Wisdom 14, Charisma  14Skills: 65 skill points (44+7+7+7)Feats and Class Abilities: * (starting feat), *(human bonus feat), Scribe Scroll (Wizard bonues feat), *(3rd level feat), Lore (as Bardic Knowledge at level 1)Action Points:Languages: CommonAlignment: Lawful GoodDeity: Silver FlameGender: FemaleAge: 20Height: 5' 7"Weight: 130 lbsSpells:Wizard Spells Known: Spell Slots: Cleric 3 0 level, 2+1 domain 1st level, Wizard 4 0 level, 3 1st level, 2 2nd levelDomains: Knowledge, Exorcism, ProtectionSpells Memorized:Inventory: [/sblock]</blockquote>
