[QUOTE="D20Dazza, post: 2312317, member: 4260"] I'd like to voice my interest as well. Let's see... Bail had never known his true parents. As he understood it now they had been in a caravan travelling between Cyre and Zilargo that had been forcibly delayed in Darguun. His father had been killed and his pregnant mother held and 'maintained' until she had given birth, upon which time her usefulness was at an end and she had been slaughtered like some useless herd animal. Bail was [S]raised[/S] recruited by the Kech Shaarat to be a member of the Plain, a secret organisation of spies and agents who are all non-gobliniod and more easily able to infiltrate the societies of the fairer races. He did as he was told, was an attentive student and, by avoiding the steady blows that would rain down on he and the other recruits, became quite quick on his feet. He began to develop an aptitude for stealth, his reflexes becoming finally honed, his balance and carriage marked him as a young man of speed. The Plain were kept in line not only by threats to their physical being but also threats to their families. At this time Bail wasn't aware of the fate that had ultimately befallen his parents as the Kech Shaarat's plan was nefarious in the extreme. The tribe employed several Changelings who would impersonate the parents of the children that were slowly swelling the ranks of the Plain. It was easy with those born after abduction for they would never have the opportunity to recall their parents, but not all children were born in Darguun and the tactic kept them all in line. There was fierce competition between the children, a ruthless competition for food and attention, that was cultivated by their wicked maters. Bail was one of the few that learnt the goblin language, he was quick in mind as well as on his feet and would pick up snatches of the language as he grew. When he was 16 he overheard a conversation that finally helped put all the pieces of the puzzle that had been bugging him for years together. He swore then that he would escape and did so the very next night, using the skills that his maters had so dilligently taught him over the last 16 years. They had made him the perfect weapon and he cut them deep that night. Bail is on the run for two reasons, the first is that the Kech Sharrat don't want word of their secret reaching the ears of the outside world, not even the ears of those in Darkuun, as the great Lhesh Haruuc is not aware of the network and would surely think ill of the Kech Sharrat for keeping the network secret. Secondly, Bail stole something very valuable to the tribe before he left. Something that they will pursue Bail to the very ends of Khorvaire, and even the depths of Khyber to recover. And I kept the background to five para's :lol: Hope you like. I'd see him as either a rogue or ranger (rather avoid this one as I'm playing a ranger in Hanable's Hunters but am happy to fill the role if it is needed) or fighter. I guess he could even be a dextrous barbarian if you wanted some melee crunch. First thought was rogue but then I noticed Bront already had Mel in the mix. Cheers Daz [/QUOTE]
