[sblock=Simon's background]Simon grew up in Cauldron, the son of a baker. He was orphaned when he was in his early teenage years, both his Mother and Father died from the plague of filth fever that swept through Cauldron. Simon’s father blamed the sickness on the Pelorites for not making sure the city was clean after the flood many years before Simon was born. Some of the hate his father had for the Pelorites transferred to Simon as well.
When Simon was orphaned, he wandered the streets, stealing or begging for food. His father was well-liked until the disease took hold of him, and many felt sorry for him. Once winter came, Simon found shelter in the Lantern Street Orphanage. Here he was one of the older children there.
Though Simon found shelter at the orphanage, he wasn’t there very often. He could be seen wandering the streets more often than not. He helped others quite a bit, everything from helping the guards carry training weapons and armor to their training site in the city, to sneaking into classes at Bluecrater Academy and tutoring some of the less intelligent students, for he found the arcane arts most interesting.
As he got older, more mature and just physically bigger, Simon began to spend much time in Minuta’s Board. He was a natural at dagger and dart throwing, and won many favor in his time there. A fellow a not-so-reputable nature taught Simon(because Simon won three straight games of darts) the way mechanical things worked. Simon was a quick learner and so is wasn’t long before he could readily pick a lock, and disarm trip wires and jam pit traps. Simon was sworn to secrecy on how and where he learned these secrets, for Simon concluded his teacher was a member of the Last Laugh gang.
Soon Simon had many everywhere in the city, except for one place. The place where he had a grudge against for taking his parents from him. Simon had often watched the place from afar. The place didn’t seem that bad, people came out of the place looking happy. The little girl that danced in the sun outside seemed untroubled as well. It wasn’t too long after that Simon’s curiosity overcame his fear and he entered the temple. Almost at once he was greeted by a priest. The cleric was new to Cauldron, didn’t know much about the town, and Simon trusted the man who went by the name of Delkat. Simon offered to show Delkat around town, if Delkat taught Simon the ways of the Church. The two became friends and Simon learned much, for Delkat knew much as well.
Appearance/personality: Simon is a quick learner and he is always looking for something new to know. He is about 6' tall and 160lbs, relatively tall and thin. One would not think he is as strong as he is by his build. A scimitar hangs on his hip, and a longbow over his shoulder. His hair is a light blonde and kept short, a red goatee is kept closely trimmed. He indeed comes off older than his 17 years, mostly because all the things he knows. One so young shoudn't know as much as he does.[/sblock]
Limiting font of inspiration is fine with me. I also corrected my equipment to get to a light load. Hope I didn't take too much S@squ@tch with the background, I can change it if you wish.

But I use that article for some Eberron material, so that's why I'm familiar w/ it.
