Got room for one more?
I lucked on to this thread through some twist of fate - I've been in several PBP games that went nowhere quickly. I'm going to harken back to my original character - Vargo (mumble) who was a 3rd edition LN human cleric with the domains of Knowledge and Madness, who belonged to the religious sect known as the Prisonkeepers. The game lasted through one combat, and then died with the DM dissapearing entirely. I believe this was BEFORE the board switch, and I've lost the link, but had the character sitting around.
I've updated him here for 3.5... Hope that's okay.

Background: Vargo is a member of the ancient order of the Prisonkeepers. The Prisonkeepers were founded after the imprisonment of Tharizdun (or other Cthulhoid critter in whatever campaign) for the sole purpose of draining his divine power so that he cannot use it to escape. Each day, the Prisonkeepers draw energy away from Tharizdun and use it to fuel their own abilities - which come at a steep price. Madness is common in the Prisonkeepers, as the touch of Tharizdun's corrupting power eventually will poison even the most pure soul. Their ranks are drawn from orphans and outcasts, yet their role is essential - without their constant draining of Tharizdun's powers, he would break free from his prison and destroy the world.
(Original plan was to go Clr-5, then take Alienist prestige class... Not sure if that's an option.)
