If I may make some suggestions... How about a tiefling? Or from Races of Faerun, an orog (deep orc) or urdunnir (orecutter dwarf)? Or from the FR Underdark book, how about a slyth?

Skills and Feats: Hide +4, Listen +12*, Move Silently +11, Spot +8*; Alertness, Stealthy
Blindsense (Ex): A dire bat uses echolocation to pinpoint creatures within 40 feet. Opponents still have total concealment against the bat unless it can actually see them.
Skills: Dire bats have a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks. These bonuses are lost if its blindsense is negated.
Appearance: Morph is a orangy-brown pile of goo, in humanoid form though he appears to be a large male humanoid with the same color skin. His features are very soft and rounded, looking a little like moulded clay. He is completely bald and has pale yellow eyes. He usually wears his black dragon plate armor and carries his shield slung over his back. His staff in hand he always wears his two rings. Outside large Underdark communities he is joined by his companion Ping, the dire bat.
Personality: Morph is a quiet good-natured individual who enjoys the company on insects and animals more than that of people. He is very in tune with the natural environment of the Underdark and does what he can to help the plants and animals survive. He also takes time to instruct communities on how to grow sustainable crops and maintain a balance with nature.
Background: Having welled up from the life pool of the Slyth, Morph set out on his own to commune with the natural surroundings. He spent most of his time speaking with the animals and insects and even the plants.
After a time he met a young svirfneblin community who were having trouble with the mushroom crops which they subsisted on. The plants were often plagued by draughts and sometimes even insects. Morph joined a group of the towns best and went in search of the problem.
They soon found that a group of drow had been poisoning the mushrooms to bring about starvation, hoping to make the community ripe for invasion. Morph and the others were able to defeat the small number of drow, but not without loss of life. Two of the deep gnomes fell to the malicious elves. Pained by the loss of his friends, Morph did his best to help heal the community. He taught them how to care for the plants and get the make the most of their small water supply.
After a time however he felt that he needed to move on, that the community was in good shape and he still felt like an outsider among them. He has spent the last few years wandering the Underdark looking for people to help.

Comments on Pwyoolp "Morph" Ripplepond...
Yech.
Let's turn him NG. Seems to fit with his background more anyway.
I was almost going to disallow the Keyed Spell Item, but what the heck, let's go with it. (Isida Kep'Tukari might want one too, at that.)
Excellent layout too, Erekose13!

- okay will do. went with neutral originally cause that was what the race description said. NG does fit better.

- cool thanks. i really like the idea. i mean its doable with a wand and the Master Wand feat too. but it gives my character a signiture spell that he can use every battle without having to only memorize the one spell.
Excellent layout too, Erekose13!
- thanks, though I should thank Isida, I stole her sheet and just added the list bullets.
