Description Kageri is a tall skin individual. His thin wirey black hair falls past his shoulders. He has pale skin, largely untouched by the sun. He typically wears a long cloak over his shoulders, drawn tight against a cold that few feel. Were he to let his cloak fall they would see the stump of his left arm. Born without an arm, he has adapted. There is something beyond his dark purple eyes that most seem to find unnerving. At times when looking deep into his eyes, it almost feels like there is more than one person looking out from them. Indeed when in areas of 'shadowy illumination' or darker, pale purple after images of two other faces seem to hover nearby. The pale ioun stone orbiting his head tends to distract anyone trying to focus to intently on the after images.
Personality Kageri Yume, whose name means Dream of Gloom, tends to echo the truth behind his name. He has a depressing attitude, but has accepted his place in the world. When in situations of stress or difficulty he becomes deadly quiet (in voice if not so much in movement). He speaks with a level monotone voice and tends to use very short sentences. The speech patterns are actually a cultural reminent from his shattered past, not an affectation of his attitude.
Background Born on a distant plane tangentally related to the Plane of Shadow, Kageri grew up among his people, the Synad. A strange race of beings each of whom were actually comprised of three distinct minds in one body. The three minds within each Synad are typically known as the Overmind, the Collective, and the Oracle. The Overmind within each Synad is usually the one in control of the body at any given time, the other two forming pale after images to either side.
Kageri was happy in his own way, among his people. They lived in a pocket plane deep in the Plane of Shadow. The Gloomering was a hidden place, though sometimes the creatures of shadow were able to penetrate their existance and disrupt the life of their secluded plane. When Kageri had been nearing his 100th year, his year of maturity, an evil known as the Penumbral Paralax gained access to the Gloomering. Once inside the Paralax infiltrated the core of the Gloomering and began infecting the portals to and from the plane. All at once the barriers hidding the plane disintegrated and the forces of shadow descended upon the Gloomering, devouring what little light existed there.
Kageri and his guardians fled from the Paralax and the shadow forces deep into the plane of shadow. Eventually they discovered a pool of deep purple colour. Taking it as a sign they dove in and arrived on the Prime Material Plane. Hiding themselves for over a 100 years always fearing that the Paralax would find them again, the Yume's tought Kageri the knowledge of his people and the ancient spirits that they drew power from. Buy connecting to those concepts that gave him meaning, Energy (sound), and Freedom, Kageri began developing the skills of an Ardent.
Another 100 years have passed and Kageri has decided to strike out on his own. He seeks the power to return to the plane of shadow and destroy the Penumbral Paralax. He does not believe that anything is left of the Gloomering, but revenge marks him now. Only the Oracle within him urges him to seek something more positive, to fight against the agents of Shadow where ever they might try to infect his new home.
Class Components I will try to slowly type out the necessary information on the Ardent as well as the Synad later. All relevant abilities are already reproduced above though.[sblock=Ardent]Quick overview:

Bab: Cleric
Saves: Will good
Abilities: Assume psionic mantles (1,1,2,5,10,15)

Powers can only be selected from those mantles. # of powers in secondary mantles cannot be greater than the number in any primary mantle.

These concepts exist beyond deities or any creation of a creature, whether mortal or immortal.
-
Primary Mantle: Freedom: +10' base movement while psionically focused; expend focus to add lvl to resist grapple or to escape from one.
-
Primary Mantle: Energy: expend focus to grant all allies with resistance 10 to one energy type for 3+wis rds.

Concept: tap into cosmic philosophies that transcend divine beings. Focus on two primary mantles, but drawing from several more mantles over the course of their career.
Playing an Ardent: avoid religion, natural travellers and adventurers. Combat tactics are determined by choice of mantles (in my case ranged bombardment, clairsentience, and mobility).[/sblock]
