Message: <blockquote data-quote="Urko" data-source="post: 2168512" data-attributes="member: 30822">WenMale Kalashtar Soulknife 1CGBackgroundWen grew up among humans, in a small and fairly isolated farm village in northeastern Breland.  His childhood was a happy one and he was well liked in the village, but as he reached adolescence he began to sense that he was somehow different from those around him.  The greatest evidence of this came when he was 16.  Returning from an errand in his father's fields, he was accosted by a pair of bandits.  Having no way to defend himself, Wen's fear gave way to anger that anyone could treat another this way.  To his (and the bandits') surprise, a shimmering blade of pure mental force sprang to life in his hands.  The surprise and Wen's fury were enough to drive away his assailants.Wen returned home shaken and upset, to say the least.  When he related this incident to his parents, they reacted neither with disbelief nor surprise, but with a quite sadness.  Wen's mother revealed to him that he was not in fact their natural child, but had been left with them by a stranger who refused to identify himself.  The stranger gave the farm couple a silver ring and instructed them that they would know the right time to give it to the child.  With tears in her eyes, Wen's mother gave him the ring and told him that his true people were the kalashtar and that he must go to Sharn to find them and learn his true origins.PersonalityA stranger to sorrow, Wen approaches the new adventure life has presented him with the joyful exuberance that only the young and inexperienced can muster.  Anyone who meets him will come away with the impression of an undisciplined but well meaning young man; charming and kind, but a bit naive.  AppearanceAlthough his general size and shape, not to mention his peasant garb, identify Wen as a simple human farmer, there is an indefinable alien quality about him.  His jet black hair is worn at shoulder length, without particular attention or ornamentation.  Those who watch him long enough will note that his eyes seem to slowly shift through several improbable colors over time.ShaggySpellsword:If you want to submit a different character in the other thread, that's fine by me.</blockquote>
