Your character is an orphan. His/her family were freeriders who died in a raid by a group of Black Riders (sarcosan warriors horse-sworn to one of the False Sussars). The raid started a flashfire that spread across half the southern plains. Anyone east of the Eren river who was old enough to remember that fire, does. Even if they weren't on the plains, the light from that fire could be seen all the way to Erenhead and Baden's Bluff. It spread fast, lasted months and was about 100 times larger than the Burning Line of Erathor.

Freeriders are nomads, which means when their homes catch fire, they burn to nothing. You survived because your mother hid you under a pile of wet laundry. One horse blanket, on the bottom, survived the blaze. You still have it.

When you crawled out from under the smouldering blankets, everything was char and ash. People, horses, the land itself. Everything.

You wandered in a daze for a week, eating almost nothing and drinking ash-blackend water from choked streams. You were found by a family of halflings, who cared for you for a few weeks, but realized they could not slow themselves to cater to you and took you to a village called Hornblower's Hill. An old man, whom you came to know only as Grandfather agreed to take you in. You lived there until near-adulthood. He was a sly, willful old man. He taught you to defend yourself (but only when no one was watching) taught you to read and write, and taught you that even the dimmest candle burns brightest when it is darkest, precisely when it is needed most.

You are not going to start with conscious control over your powers. You can tell me out of game if something happens that you think would trigger a fire, but you can't purposefully direct it yet.

We'll deal with what happens to get you hooked up with the rest of the party later.

Note: All the Fireborn's abilities are Supernatural

Firestarter: You can cause combustible materials to light with a touch or a thought. You may cause any combustible material to catch fire. Unattended objects make a save to negate the effect. (DC 10+1/2 your character level+ your charisma modifier). Attended objects use the reflex save of the creature attending it, providing that creature can make a DC 10 spot check. Combustible objects which are resistant to catching fire, such as damp wood or leather get a +5 bonus. Objects which are very difficult, or nearly impossible to catch fire, such as stone, gain a +20 bonus to their save. This ability can be used as a concentration based effect. If you choose to do so, the DC to resist it goes up by one for each round you concentrate. This means that given enough time to concentrate on an object, you can light nearly anything on fire. Once lit, the object obeys the normal rules for burning objects as outlined in the Core Rules. At This ability is usable At Will and has a range of Short or Touch. At 14th level the range on this ability increases to Long

Flamethrower: You may cause nearby fires to erupt in burning showers and gouts of flame. Every day you gain a pool of energy that you can draw from to cause fire based attacks from any nearby source of fire. Each day you gain a number of points, called Blaze Points, equal to your character level plus your Charisma Modifier. You may spend a number of Blaze Points per round equal to 1/2 your character level. Each time this ability is gained you may choose one of the effects listed, or any of the ones listed previously. From that point on you may spend Blaze Points to create fire-effects in that shape and type. Consult the table below for more detailed effect descriptions.

Melee Attack: In order to use this ability you must have a source of fire within reach of your weapon. Each Blaze Point spent as part of an attack adds 1d6 fire damage to that attack. You can still only spend a number of Blaze Points each round equal to 1/2 your character level. If you use this ability while unarmed, you take 1d6 points of fire damage, but count as armed for the purposes of provoking attacks of opportunity.

Ranged Attack: You may cause a bolt of fire to shoot from any source of open flame within 25'+5' per level of you. Only one Blaze Point per round may be spent on this ability, but it deals 2d6 points of fire damage. This bolt of fire is treated as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet and a 20, x2 Crit.

Radius: Fire erupts from an open flame within Short range of you in a radius of 15 feet. This deals 1d6 points of damage to all creatures in the area, Reflex save for 1/2 damage.

Ray: A small, white hot ray of fire shoots from an open flame within Short range of you. This ray requires a ranged touch attack, has a range of Long and deals 1d6 points of damage per Blaze Point spent. There is no save against this damage.

Cone: A cone of fire explodes from a source of open flame near you. This cone begins in any square the source of fire is in and effects a cone shaped area 5 feet long for every two levels you posses. The end of the cone is 5 feet wide for every 10 feet of length. every creature caught in the radius takes 1d6 points of damage for every Blaze Point spent, Reflex Save for 1/2 damage.

Burst: A tiny ball of fire leaps from a nearby open flame and explodes into a ball of fire. The range on this effect is Short (measured from the source of the fire, which must be within Short range of you), and effects a 20 diameter sphere. Creatures in teh area take 1d6 points of Fire damage per Blaze Point spent, reflex save for 1/2 damage.

Line: A line of fire erupts form a nearby source, burning everything in it's path. A line of fire originating from any open flame within Short range of you and traveling in a straight line for a distance of 10 feet per level deals 1d6 points of damage per Blaze Point spent to each creature in it's path, Reflex save for 1/2 damage.

Wave: You create a wave of fire beginning centered on a nearby source of flame, traveling along the ground in any direction and ending up to 10 feet per level away from it's point of origin. This wave is 1 foot per two character levels high and 5 feet per character level wide.

Wall: You create a wall of fire centered on a nearby source of flame. This wall is up to 10 feet per level wide and half as tall. This effect functions exactly as a Wall of Fire, except that it only deals 1D6 points of damage per Blaze Point spent on it's creation and effects creatures on both sides.

Hemisphere: A hemisphere of fire erupts from a nearby open source and hangs in the air like a barrier. The hemisphere has a radius of up to 5 feet per level, centered on any open source of flame within Short range of you. This effect functions exactly as a Wall of Fire, except that it only deals 1D6 points of damage per Blaze Point spent on it's creation and effects creatures on both sides. Creatures caught in the effect as it forms are allowed a Reflex save to negate the damage.

Burn It All: Any object or creature within Short range of you that is attempting to avoid catching fire must make saves against a DC of 10+1/2 your character level+your Charisma modifier, instead of the usual DC 15 save (as described in the environmental effects section of the Pathfinder Core Rules). In addition, creatures or objects on fire add 1/4 your character level (rounded up) to any damage they take as a result of being on fire. All your fire effects gain a chance to catch creatures and objects on fire. Any creature or object that is damaged by one of your fire-based abilities must make an additional Reflex, at the heightened save DC, save to avoid catching.

Firewalker: As a standard action while standing in, or after moving into, an open flame of your size or larger you may spend spend a Blaze Point if you do you are instantly transported to any other open flame of your size or larger within Long range.

Smoker: Your fire effects cause lingering smoke in their area for a number of rounds equal to the amount of Blaze points spent to cast them, or equal to the level of spell causing the effect. This smoke grants concealment to any creature inside it's area, but also imposes a -1 penalty to attacks and reflex saves on any creature that has to breathe or see that does not possess Fire Resistance. This duration is halved out doors and doubled in small enclosed spaces.

Backdraft: You can cause fire effects to repeat in reverse. As a standard action the round after a fire effect occurs within Short range of you, you may spent a number of Blaze points equal to 1/2 the number used to cause the original effect, or 1/2 the level of the spell or ability used to cause the original effect. If you do, you cause the effect to repeat, effecting the exact same area again. The only difference is that the fire rushes the opposite direction as it originally did. (Fireballs implode, cones suck back in on themselves, ect.) This can very effectively cause flames that had been extinguished to re-light. Any creature or object that had been on fire the round before must make a Reflex save (or object save if unattended) with a -2 penalty or catch fire again.

Corona: You may spend a Blaze Point as a free action to pull flame from any source within Short range and wreathe yourself in it. This fire does not actually touch you or your equipment. It rests a few inches away from your body and remains for 1 round per point of Charisma modifier you possess. Creatures coming in contact with this fire, take 1d6 points of damage and risk catching fire.

Flare Up: You may spend additional Blaze Points on any given effect by taking 1d6 points of damage per point beyond your maximum allowed.

White Hot: Your Fire damage treats Fire Resistance as if it were halved and even deals 1/2 damage to creatures with Fire Immunity.

Heat Death: You may slay creatures by causing them to spontaneously combust from within. This ability costs a number of Blaze Points equal to the targeted creature's Hit Points divided by 20. (if you cannot spend, or do not have the required number of Blaze Points, this ability does not function.) The creature must then make a Fortitude save (DC 10+1/2 your character level+your Charisma modifier) or die. Creatures with Fire Resistance get a bonus to the save equal to +1 per 5 points of Fire Resistance. Creatures immune to fire gain a +5 bonus, but are still effected.

Phoenix Heart: You gain the Fire subtype. in addition, if you die, you return to life within 1d6 days from the largest source of fire within 50 miles of the place where you died. The fire you are reborn from must be at least the same size you are. If there is not a large enough fire within 50 miles at the time you would be reborn, you remain dead for another 1d6 days. This process repeats a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. If no fire of substantial size is provided during that time, you are dead forever.

Sarcosan-

The Heavenly Host: The sarcosan "gods". They are not gods in the same way Izrador is. They are closer in nature to the greek panthon and the stories of the bible. They are many, and very human and flawed, and they do not exert their will over Erdane in any overt way. Only through their teachings in the Book of the Sahi and the signs in the stars do men know their wills. They do not want any one particular thing, they are legion, and diverse in purpose. Many Sarcosan families have a patron Rider that they offer prayers to, as well as numerous Riders that are the patrons of small, simple things like hearthfires, wind, luck, pregnancy, health, dinner, or any other important but minor aspects of life. (Feel free to make up your own Riders if your character is in anyway spiritual.) It is also common to invoke the entire Host in times where one particular Rider is not relevant or known (oaths such as "By the Host!" or "The Host take it!" are good examples of this.

Horses are reincarnated from the souls of men. They are gifts from the Heavenly Host, and also a means by which to measure personal worth. All Horses belong to the Sorshef (king), and the rights to care for them, train them, breed them and other tasks is divvied up to the Sorshef's Sworn Riders (nobles and honor guard), and then further designated from there. "Horse-rights" are the most important value a family or individual has. A Sarcosan without a horse, or the responsibility of caring for the horses of others, is a wretched thing indeed. Not all Sarcosans have a horse that they care for (no sarcosan but the Sorshef "owns" a horse), but *all* know how to ride. If a family does not have a horse, other members of the community will offer theirs to teach children with. Every sarcosan remembers and honors the horse they first learned to ride on. Sarcosan men do not become men until they have participated in the breaking of their first horse. Women break horses as well, but for men it is a right of passage. Sarcosans *never* eat horse meat. It is akin to cannibalism.

Plains Leopards: Massive cats who prey on wild horses. They range all over the plains, stealthy and slilent. They are huge, growing as large as 10 feet long and 900 pounds (slightly larger than a siberian tiger) Rather than being monsters of darkness to be feared and fought, they are revered. They take the weak, keeping the herds strong. Killing a leopard is punishable by death. The only exception to the rule is when the Sorshef or one of his council calls a Cat Hunt. This is essentially a culling of the leopard's numbers, and involves much boasting, feasting and celebration. The numbers of cats successfully killed is often very low *they are stealthy and wide ranging) but those warriors who do manage to bring one down are richly rewarded. Those who spot the cat have "first rights" to it, and engage alone (often being injured or killed in the attempt). If the cat escapes them, the rest of the hunting party is allowed to engage and run it down. Only those who have killed a leopard by themselves are allowed to wear it's pelt. These warriors are called "Felis Farai" or "Cat Warriors"  and are both feared and respected.

Fog: The most powerful and terrifying of the Sarcosan superstitions. Fog kills. Everything about it is anathema to the existance of the horse-nomads. It hampers visibility and sound, making families vulnerable to ambush. It hides the ground, making it likely that a horse will fall, injuring itself or it's rider, It's dampness infects the lungs and quickly saturates silks bringing cold and illness. It depresses the spirits, which in these dark times can be equally as deadly. Most importantly though, the sarcosans believe that the fog and mist can steal souls. Those that die under it's blanket are doomed never to join the Heavenly Host and instead become trapped spirits, wandering forever in patches of mist. Evil people who are taken by the fog can become powerful and terrible spirits called Fades, who learn to control and gather the fog and use it to wreak death and havok on the plainsfolk.

Sahi Blade: Every sarcosan is given a knife blade by the elder of their family when they turn 5 summers. Before the reach adulthood they are instructed to craft for themselves a handle for the blade. This is a test of the individual's artistic, economic, and social resourcefulness. The handle is supposed to make a statement about who the sarcosan is as a person, the more impressive the better. Some seek out exotic materials, others opulent gems. Some carve effigies of animals or objects in painstaking detail (or trade a skilled artist to do it for them). Each Sahi Blade is deeply personal and a strong symbol of social standing. Once the blade is complete and they have reached adulthood, they can begin earning tassels to attach to the handle. They are made out of horsehair, ribbon, leather, or braided cord and dyed or knotted in ways that represent a certain deed. They are given like medals for good works over the course of a person's life. The blades are never used for combat, except in the case of honor duels, in which case they are the only allowable weapon.

Masks: Riders wear them for practicality, but in the best traditions of the wild west and the ninja, the mask has become an important symbol to the free sarcosans. They tend to be made of formed leather and silk, even covering the eyes with thin mesh to protect from dust while in the saddle, the mask obscures the identity and adds a fierceness to the rider. Some riders decorate their masks with studs, etchings or bleached or dyed images, words or designs.

Orphan-

The village of Hornblower's Hill is small, out of the way, and mostey completely unbothered by the troubles of the world. Once a year a Sarcosan tax collector comes, takes a share of the crops, tells the people what they should plant next season, places orders for things that need made, like baskets or cloth, and leaves. Grandfather is an old, bald, slight man of surprising spryness and clarity of wit. He is patient, thoughtful, careful, and observant. The other villagers look to him for advice, and he gives it gladly. Given the state of the world, he is a bastion of goodness in a rare secluded place. Life there is good. He has taught you read and write Courtier and Erenlander (which he has warned you never to reveal) [bonus Trait- Literate] Today you are an apprentice cook and baker for the village. You likely would be well out of your apprenticeship, but noone has brought up the fact that you should be moving into your own profession by now.

Your mother's name was Cara, and she was an Erenlander. Your father was Sarcosan and you favor his side, but she was tall, strong boned, buxom and blond, much more like a dorn. Her dark eyes and olive complexion revealed her mixed blood. She traveled with you, mostly alone. She knew many families, even staying with halfling tribes and on gnome raft-houses from time to time. She always seemed to be doing something important, but never where you could have overheard. You remember a man that she met with a few times a year, which was unique. He was an Erenlander named Garion, and you remember him being a good man, willing to talk and play with you. You overheard him once telling your mother that if anything ever happened to her or you, that she should find him in Swift Water. When the raid happened, she piled wet blankets on top of you and told you to hide until there was no more noise and no more heat. When you came out, there were a lot of bodies, badly burned. One of them might have been her, but you never knew for sure. You have burn scars on your left hand and arm where you fell into a pile of cinders while walking around dazed. You were trying to find out where Swift Water was when the halflings found you.

Halflings- Secretive, wary, savage, bloodthirsty and deeply magical people. They combine shamanism and amazing talent at stealth and earthlore to live right under the noses of the Traitor Prince's patrols. Their beasts, the Wogren, are smarter than any dog or horse, clearly understanding speech, and displaying deep love and protectiveness to their smallfolk families. It is no euphemism that halflings are raised by wolves.

Marakal is 5’7” with stark black shoulder length hair, and cold piercing green eyes. His skin is of a complexion that shows clearly, if his hair was not enough, his Sarcosan parentage. His right ear is missing and he has a scar that did not heal right on his right cheek, and if you take a closer look, you will notice that his left pinky finger is only half what it should be.

BACKGROUND

(click to show/hide)

Marakal was a child of rape.

He did not have to find out about it and confront his demons at a late age; his mother told it to him practically from the day he was born till the day that she died. She did not want the child, but whenever she tried to abort the pregnancy she failed, people interrupting, bad luck, excuses did not lack. His father, as his mother told him, was a Sarcosan Legate, he came with his entourage of Orcs to their village (just west of the Forest of Sahi) looking for an Elven spy and some escaped slave. When the villagers did not cooperate, they razed the village and the Legate bored with the killing of his Orcs, raped her and her sister. The sister died.

His mother survived thanks to a group of resistance fighters, they didn’t let her die …or out of their sight. They took here with them until they found a safe place for her. She did not ask for it.

His mother kept reminding Marakal of his heritage, and instilled in him a deep hatred to the Shadows minions. But Marakal, who loved his mother, also developed hatred to Elves, blaming them for the pain his mother was put through. When he turned 12 his mother died; she was pushed out the window of their apartment on the second floor and broke her neck in the fall. The two men, who claimed she stole something from them, next beat Marakal senseless and left him there. It was not a big town and Marakal found out where one of them lived and one night crept into his house, cut his throat and burned the house down. The other one Marakal managed to track down and killed him with a rock to the head while he was pissing.

The fact that his mother did steal from these two men did not really matter to him.

Marakal started wondering the wilderness, living of what he can, and always looking out for a chance to kill the Shadows minions. One day he noticed light footsteps on the soft dirt and followed, finally finding an Elf –he knew it was an Elf- wounded and hiding under a bush. The Elf called for help with his hands and Marakal approached cautiously. He did not understand what the fey said, and neither did it matter. Marakal
killed the fey by slitting its throat, watching its blood ebb out and nourish the soil beneath it.

He did not feel much better after that, but neither did he feel too bad.

That night he fell asleep next to the body of the dead fey, its head nestled in its hands, and was rudely awaken by two Orcs. It did not matter to Marakal how they found him or what they were doing there, he fought them and fought them hard. After a not so short fight he managed to kill them but lost his right ear in the fight and his face was deeply cut…

Marakal survived.

He got away from there as quickly as possible, running for his life, as shouts in the Black Tongue were being heard over the hush of the night. When at last he could rest he attended to his wounds, and after resting for a couple of days he cut off his left pinky in half, as a cautionary remainder: Stay Alert!!!

Some months ago…

Marakal did not stop.

He was concentrating very hard on keeping walking, one step after the other, thinking of nothing else, clearing his mind. For the past couple of days, Marakal has been walking non-stop, eating only while walking, drinking only very quickly.

The Pull he felt was directed at his very center, at the very thing that he was... if Marakal did not know better he would have thought it was supernatural. No, the Pull was an emotional one, and it started a couple of days ago when an old man patted him gently on the shoulder while he traded with a local farmer, and said: "Rashi, I was so sorry to hear about your father, he was a great ma...." A shiver went down Marakals' spine and the old man recognized his mistake; but Marakal followed him to a black alley and convinced him to tell him what he meant: Marakal was very much similar in look to a young legate, son of a Great Legate who supposedly died recently... the old man has seen him not a month ago heading with a contingent of Orcs to the mountains.

But he was not ready for the mountains: hungry, tired, and with no proper clothing the mountains won easily over him. When he came too he was in the company of dwarves…

Race: Erenlander

Appearance:

Age: 21
Hair: Brown, straight, upper back
Eyes: Grey-blue
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 115lb

Smallish, pale-skinned, and dark-haired, just about all that many people see of Amethyst are her broad-brimmed hat, the leather half-mask she standardly wears across her lower face for tramping along the dusty trails, and her travel-stained calf-length duster.  When accosted by servants of the Shadow, she keeps her gaze low, and makes sure to have her collection of permits ready to hand.

Beneath it all, she's pretty, curvy, unusually clean-living (she even has all her teeth), with gentle hands and light feet.  Wholly lacking the air of menace associated with most people who venture out alone into the world, she instead appears to trust to her amiable charm and a surprising faith in the kindness of strangers to see her through.

Class Features:

(click to show/hide)

Inspiration: The factotum is a dabbler, a professional explorer who plunders a wide variety of fields to find the tools he needs to survive. He reads through tomes of arcane magic to gain a basic understanding of spells. He offers prayers to a variety of deities to gain their blessings. He observes warrior stances and exercises to understand the art of fighting. But while a factotum learns many paths, he masters none of them. Rather than train in a given field, he masters all the basics and manages to pull out something useful when the situation is desperate enough.  To represent this seemingly random body of knowledge, a factotum gains inspiration points that he can spend to activate his abilities. At the beginning of each encounter, he gains a number of inspiration points determined by his level (see Table 1–1).

Cunning Insight (Ex): Before making an attack roll, damage roll, or saving throw, you can spend 1 inspiration point to gain a competence bonus on the roll equal to your Intelligence modifier. Cunning insight does not require an action, and you can use it as often as you wish during your turn or others’ turns—provided that you have the inspiration points to spend. Because this ability provides a competence bonus, it does not stack with itself.

Cunning Knowledge (Ex): When making a check involving a skill in which you have at least 1 rank, you can spend 1 inspiration point to gain a bonus on the check equal to your factotum level. You can use this ability once per day for a particular skill. For example, if you use cunning knowledge to gain a bonus on a Hide check, you cannot use the ability to improve other Hide checks for the rest of the day, though you can use it on different skills.

Trapfinding (Ex): You can use the Search skill to locate traps with a DC higher than 20, and you can use Disable Device to bypass a trap or disarm magic traps. See the rogue class feature (PH 50).

Arcane Dilettante (Sp):  A vague understanding of magic: with a few weird hand gestures and an array of grunts and bizarre words, you can conjure up something that looks like a spell.  Spend 1 inspiration point to mimic a spell as a spell-like ability.   At the start of each day, choose a number of spells from the sorcerer/ wizard spell list based on your factotum level (see Table 1-1 for # per day and maximum level).  You can select any sorcerer/wizard spell up to that level, but you can prepare only one spell of your maximum level. Your caster level equals your level in this character class. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against your spell is 10 + the spell level + your Int modifier.  Once you have used a spell, you cannot use it again until you have rested for 8 hours.  After resting for this time, you choose new spells and lose any unused spells from the previous day, though you can select the same spell on consecutive days. You cannot prepare the same spell multiple times to use it more than once during the same day.  You cannot use spells that require an XP cost. You must otherwise provide the necessary material components as normal.  If you wish to enhance a spell with a metamagic feat, you must apply the feat when you prepare the spell. In addition, you must be capable of using a spell of the modified spell’s level.
Currently: 2 cantrips or first-level spells per day

Brains over Brawn (Ex): At 3rd level, you gain your Intelligence bonus as a modifier on Strength checks, Dexterity checks, and checks involving skills based on Strength or Dexterity, such as Hide, Climb, and Jump.

Cunning Defense (Ex): You study your opponents and learn to anticipate their attacks. Starting at 3rd level, you can spend 1 inspiration point to gain your Intelligence bonus as a dodge bonus to Armor Class against one opponent for 1 round. Using this ability is a free action. You gain this benefit even while wearing medium or heavy armor. You can use this ability multiple times to gain a bonus against different opponents, but you cannot use it more than once during your turn against a single foe

Cunning Strike (Ex): With a quick study of a vulnerable opponent’s defenses, you can spot the precise area you need to hit to score a telling blow. Starting at 4th level, you can spend 1 inspiration point to gain 1d6 points of sneak attack damage. You must spend the inspiration point to activate this ability before making the attack roll. When determining if you can use sneak attack against a target that has uncanny dodge, use your factotum level as your rogue level.  (NB: May stack with Cunning Insight on damage roll, though CI can't stack with itself)

Heroic Path: Heavensent (http://www.againsttheshadow.org/index.php?topic=1649.msg16660#msg16660)

(click to show/hide)

1.  Heavenly Aura: Your physical self is infused with benevolent energy; your very presence inspires relief and hope. A Heavensent character has the good subtype, as though he were an outsider. The character's alignment must be lawful good, neutral good, or chaotic good. NPC's are naturally influenced to trust and like a blessed character. When the blessed is first encountered, the attitude of a non-evil NPC improves by one step (e.g., from friendly to helpful).

2. Detect Evil: At will, use Detect Evil, as the spell. As a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. This focuses upon one individual or object: the character does not Detect Evil in any other object or individual within range.

3. Smite Evil (Once per day): Swift action to select one target - if target is evil, then gain following bonuses: add Cha bonus to hit; add level to damage; gain deflection bonus equal to Cha modifier vs attacks made by target; remains in effect till target is dead, or character rests and regains use(s) of this ability.  If aimed against non-evil target, has no effect, and depletes a use of the ability.

4. +1 Charisma.

Traits:

(click to show/hide)

• Badland Highlander: Born and raised in dangerous hills. +1 to Stealth, extra +1 in hilly or rocky terrain.
• Bearer of Hope: The Meaning of Hope lies within her mind. +1 to Diplomacy with Good creatures and +1 to Will saves against fear effects.
• Bearer of Truth: The Meaning of Truth is carried within. +2 to Sense Motive to determine if someone is lying to her. Spells and effects that reveal lies, dispel illusions or determine falsehoods are cast at +1 Caster Level.
• Carefully Hidden: Uncanny knack for avoiding detection.  +1 to Will saves, +2 vs divination effects.
• Charming: Blessed and cursed with good looks. +1 Bluff & Diplomacy vs those attracted; also +1 for any language-dependent spell save for such targets.
• Chivalrous: Raised on stories of heroism, and eager to emulate them. +1 to Diplomacy and Knowledge (History)

Background:

(click to show/hide)

Just a hasty outline at present.

• Raised by the Keepers of the Key (especailly Grandmother) at Hornblower's Rest in the foothills of the Kaladruns.
• Educated in various forms of lore, including philosophy and ethics.
• Believes herself to be the descendant of noble lineages of Erenland (from families affiliated to Torbault and Orin), and to have a blood-responsibility to uphold the old ideals.
• Also taught arts of stealth and disguise.
• Equipped to serve as an agent and courier, openly passing through Shadow-held lands.
• Operates primarily as a wise woman, providing herbal remedies, basic health advice, assistance in purifying water, etc - dealing with Shadow forces as well as locals.
• Secondary occupation of a storyteller - specialising in uplifting tales of the sort that the Legates want people to believe about the High King of Erenland and the Church.
• Those tales have an undercurrent of subversion, however - promoting honesty and communal effort, hinting that the legates depend upon cooperation of "good citizens" to hold their sway (all the Lawful Neutral elements of the Shadow's public face), while also cautioning against direct dissidence and offering hints on the limits of Shadow abilities.

Dorin Redgard
Race:Dorn
Class Levels:Barbarian 3
Favored Class: Barbarian
Heroic Path: Juggernaut
Bodycast: A young, blond Lou Ferrigno
Theme: Out of My Way by Seether

Appearance and Personality

(click to show/hide)

Age: 19 winters
Hair: Blond, ear length
Height: 6' 10"
Eyes: Blue
Weight: 297 lbs

Towering over most men, Dorin is huge even by Dornish standards. Years shipbound have given him a rolling gait unusual to a man of his size, but it doesn't seem to hamper him. Used to objects occasionally breaking around him, he moves slowly most of the time, planting his feet carefully and rarely making abrupt movements, although sometimes things or people in his way are simply moved aside without a word. His hair is short, brushing his ears, but he is not clean-shaven as one normally expects from a Dorn.

There is very little that Dorin does halfway. Often slow to make a decision, when he finds himself pointed at a course of action, he pursues it single-mindedly as a glacier, and deals with obstacles in much the same way as the ancient walls of ice; they can move aside, or be ground to dust. The same applies to the happier times in life, though - he has a laugh that can bark out loud as thunder, and uses it often.

Appearance

(click to show/hide)

Age: 55?
Hair: Black, shaggy, shoulder-length
Height: 3'8
Eyes: Blue
Weight: 50 lbs

Kjellan stands 3’8 and weighs about 50 lbs. -- an apparently taller and somewhat stockier than average gnome.  His skin is deeply tanned, from countless days spent in the great outdoors. He tries to conceal his muscular (by gnomish standards)arms and chest beneath a garish, yellow and green, long-sleeved vest that bears the Gale crest on the shoulder (supplemented by heavy padding underneath).  Given the respect the dwarves of Durgis Rock accord him and his father, Wendell, the dwarrow is only too proud to wear the vivid colours he was given by the latter on the return journey from the Ghost Raft to Durgis Rock (which contrast sharply with the more subtle earth tones he used to wear among his mother’s people).    

Kjellan wears baggy blue trousers that only go as far as mid-calf, and seldom wears shoes or boots.  The few possessions that Kjellan has are heavily used and unremarkable (see equipment list).  He keeps his pair of dasdana--a gift from Otter and Star--carefully concealed under the sleeves of his vest.  He also highly values the inutek that they gave him when he departed the Ghost Raft.

Kjellan has eyebrows that tend to be bushier than the average gnome, and despite his attempts to grow a long and thick dwarven beard, all he has managed thus far has been a short, scraggly and sad excuse (by dwarven standards) for a beard.  His brown-black hair has some kinks in it and droops over his crystal blue eyes, and is roughly parted to the side.  He has a long and somewhat bulbish nose.

Background

(click to show/hide)

I was born and lived the first half of my life on the Ghost Raft, in the Ardune.  My
mother, Nalla Durgis, was a merchant back before the war when gnomes and dwarves were still close and travel was fairly easy. When the war broke out she was trapped away from the mountains. She ended up on the Ghost Raft where she lived for almost 70 years. She met Wendle there, and I was conceived some time later.

As an adolescent growing up on the raft, a pair of dwarrow brothers named Otter and Star, taught me how to fight with my bare hands and common tools or simple weapons.  They taught me to hit where it hurts the most, and that surviving is far more important than fighting honourably.  As one of the only other dwarrow on the raft, Otter and Star took a liking to me.  This apparently was impressive to many people on the raft, especially the halflings, though I never knew why.  I also learned the little bit I remember of the Trader’s Tongue during this time.

Class Features:

Rogue (Swashbuckler Archetype):

• Sneak Attack +1d6
• Martial Training (Atharak): At 1st level, the swashbuckler may select one martial weapon to add to her list of weapon proficiencies. In addition, she may take the combat trick rogue talent up to two times. This ability replaces trapfinding.
• Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: All simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, short sword, and atharak; light armor, but not with shields.

Wyrd:

• Instability (su): Magic does strange things around you. As such, you may not take the Spellcasting or Magecraft feats. You do have a natural spell pool equal to your character level plus your Charisma modifier (plus any additional spell energy granted from other sources such as feats or being of a certain race.), but it does not regenerate in the usual way. You regain spell energy by syphoning off magical energies around you. Whenever a spell is cast within a radius of you equal to 5 feet per character level, you may choose to increase it's cost by an amount up to 1/4 your character level (rounded down). The caster of the spell loses spell energy equal to that number and you gain it. In addition, as a touch attack you may drain Spell Energy out of magical auras. If a spell is in effect on a creature or object, you may make a touch attack to syphon off some of it's power. If the touch attack is successful, the Wyrd makes a Caster level check (using thier character level as thier caster level) if successful, the spell loses 1/2 it's duration rounded up and you gain an amount of spell energy equal to 1/2 the level of the spell, rounded down. After this power takes effect, the drained spell is counted as if it were a spell of half it's level (rounded up). For example, if you successfully drain a 7th level spell, they gain 3 spell energy, and the spell loses 1/2 it's duration and then counts as a 4th level spell for the purposes of things such as Dispel Magic, or further uses of this power.
  You automatically and uncontrollably use this ability on any spell cast on yourself as a free action every round. This ability does not work on permanent magical effects.
  You are treated as a Channeler for the purposes of abilities which drain magical energy, such as Black Mirrors and Astiraxes draining attacks. You may not attune yourself to nexuses, but you can steal spell energy from them with this ability on a 1 for 1 basis.
• Wild Caster (su): You have a limited number of spells you are able to draw on, but you never know which ones you will have available to you from one moment to the next.
  Choose four 0th and two 1st level channeler spells. At the beginning of any encounter or scene, roll randomly to determine which spell of any given level you have available at the moment. Do this once for each level of the spells you have available to you. The results of these rolls will give you the list of spells you are able to cast using your spell energy during the encounter or scene. At any time, you will only have one spell of each level you have access to available to you.
  As you rise in level and gain the ability to cast higher level spells your randomized spell list will increase. Every time you gain access to a new spell level (every two character levels), choose four spells of that level from the Charismatic Channeler list as your random spell list. These spells can be of any school other than Greater Evocation and Greater Conjuration. Any time you successfully drain energy from a spell, if it is of a level that you can cast, you may choose to replace one of your current spells with that spell (even if it is a spell that is not normally on the channeler spell list)
  Your effective caster level for determining which spells you are able to cast is equal to 1/2 your character level. Spells you cast are Charisma based. You may not use your Instability power to syphon magic off of spells you cast yourself.
• Spell Splitter (su): As a touch attack you may attempt to transfer part of a magical aura from yourself to a creature you are touching, or from a creature you or touching to yourself, or from one creature you are touching to another creature you are touching. If you are attempting to transfer a spell to or from an unwilling target you must make a touch attack prior to using this ability. If you are transferring a spell from an unwilling target to another unwilling target you must make two touch attacks, requiring that you be able to make more than one attack in a round. If the touch attack is successful, make a caster level check against the magical effect you are trying to transfer (exactly as if you were making a dispel check). If successful you transfer half (rounded down) of the duration the spell has left to the new target. This ability does not work on permanent or instantaneous spells, or on spells of a higher level than you are able to cast by your Wild Caster ability. When using this ability you must spend Spell Energy exactly as if you were casting the spell you are transferring. The spell energy is spent after the dispel check is made, if it fails no energy is spent. If you use this ability to transfer a Divine spell cast by an agent of Izrador, you are treated as if you had used your Instability power on it, and must make the applicable saving throws. This ability is subject to spell resistance.
• Eyes of Chaos (su): You have learned to see the swirling auras and colors that surround all things. You are considered to have a continuous Detect Magic cast on yourself. If this ability is ever dispelled or suppressed if automatically comes back 1d4 rounds after what ever effect that was suppressing it ends. Upon gaining this ability your eyes tend to change colors to reflect the color of whatever the most prominent magical effect in the area is. (see the Tome of Sorrows for more information on the colors of magical auras) If there are no magical effects, than your eye color tends to stabilize to their normal hue.

Garion and Cara, two Erenlanders, began a very successful smuggling operation about twenty years ago. Ivy was on one of the lower rungs of the organization. She only knew those two; the rest of the cell was purposefully unknown. They specialized in freeing halfling slaves, which is where she came in. By posing as a slave, Ivy could get information on a place where they intended to stage a break.

Cara was captured and broken. Garion managed to find out and protect a few of the crew, sending them away to save them. Ivy survived. She heard a lot of others didn't.

Since then she has been living with her family on the plains. Her main job has been picking up freed slaves from the operatives on the Ghost Raft and taking them into the plains to teach them how to live like free halflings.

Ivy has contacts on the Ghost Raft, including Otter and Star, a pair of fairly legendary Dwarrow smugglers. She hasn't spoken with Garion in about 15 years, but she hears he is still doing what he does best: managing to avoid the doom Cara's capture sewed, and building a new crew, one of which is a cousin of Ivy's named Nefario, the son of the tribe matriarch, Constance.

Sehiri is her older sister.

Evil outsiders that first encounter a Fiendhearted character have their starting disposition shifted one step towards being beneficial.

Fiendish Gift: Claws that deal 1d4 damage

Detect Good: This spell functions like detect evil, except that it detects the auras of good creatures, clerics or paladins of good deities, good spells, and good magic items, and you are vulnerable to an overwhelming good aura if you are evil.

Successful Shirker: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Stealth checks and a +3 trait bonus on Bluff and Diplomacy checks to avoid punishment by lawful authority.

Rogue Talents
                                        
Trap Spotter: Whenever a rogue with this talent comes within 10 feet of a trap, she receives an immediate Perception skill check to notice the trap. This check should be made in secret by the GM.

Description                                                                                                                                                                                      
Nafario stands at a standard three feet tall and has the lithe and graceful form of most if not all halflings.
He has shaggy black hair and emerald green eyes. He is 45 years of age, but probably seems older then he truly is. However sometimes he lets his youth show.

Usually, a character may only know or cast spells of a level equal to or less than one-half his character level (rounded down). A character with more channeler levels than levels in other classes adds +1 to his character level for this purpose.,
Tradition: Orphic: The Orphic uses her Wisdom Score for purposes of channeling magic.
Spellcasting: Lesser Conjuration: You may now learn and cast spells from this school. You immediately learn one new spell from that school, which may be of any level that you may cast. You may hereafter select spells from this school when learning new spells, and you may cast known spells from this school using the channeled spellcasting rules.
Spellcasting: Divination: You may now learn and cast spells from this school. You immediately learn one new spell from that school, which may be of any level that you may cast. You may hereafter select spells from this school when learning new spells, and you may cast known spells from this school using the channeled spellcasting rules.
Bonus Spells: Starting at 2nd level, the channeler learns two new spells of any level and school he can cast upon gaining a new channeler level. This is in addition to the spells learned from the Magecraft and Spellcasting feats.
Tradition Gift: Enhancement: As a swift action, the Channeler may spend a spell energy point to begin enhancing a single physical ability score by +2. He may only spend an amount of spell energy points equal to 1/2 his Orphic level. Its effects last for 1 minute. This is treated as an enhancement bonus.

APPEARANCE
Height 5’7” (170 cm)

Age 18
Marakal is 5’7” with stark black shoulder length hair, and cold piercing green eyes. His skin is of a complexion that shows clearly, if his hair was not enough, his Sarcosan parentage. His right ear is missing and he has a scar that did not heal right on his right cheek, and if you take a closer look, you will notice that his left pinky finger is only half what it should be.

BACKGROUND

(click to show/hide)

Marakal was a child of rape.

He did not have to find out about it and confront his demons at a late age; his mother told it to him practically from the day he was born till the day that she died. She did not want the child, but whenever she tried to abort the pregnancy she failed, people interrupting, bad luck, excuses did not lack. His father, as his mother told him, was a Sarcosan Legate, he came with his entourage of Orcs to their village (just west of the Forest of Sahi) looking for an Elven spy and some escaped slave. When the villagers did not cooperate, they razed the village and the Legate bored with the killing of his Orcs, raped her and her sister. The sister died.

His mother survived thanks to a group of resistance fighters, they didn’t let her die …or out of their sight. They took here with them until they found a safe place for her. She did not ask for it.

His mother kept reminding Marakal of his heritage, and instilled in him a deep hatred to the Shadows minions. But Marakal, who loved his mother, also developed hatred to Elves, blaming them for the pain his mother was put through. When he turned 12 his mother died; she was pushed out the window of their apartment on the second floor and broke her neck in the fall. The two men, who claimed she stole something from them, next beat Marakal senseless and left him there. It was not a big town and Marakal found out where one of them lived and one night crept into his house, cut his throat and burned the house down. The other one Marakal managed to track down and killed him with a rock to the head while he was pissing.

The fact that his mother did steal from these two men did not really matter to him.

Marakal started wondering the wilderness, living of what he can, and always looking out for a chance to kill the Shadows minions. One day he noticed light footsteps on the soft dirt and followed, finally finding an Elf –he knew it was an Elf- wounded and hiding under a bush. The Elf called for help with his hands and Marakal approached cautiously. He did not understand what the fey said, and neither did it matter. Marakal
killed the fey by slitting its throat, watching its blood ebb out and nourish the soil beneath it.

He did not feel much better after that, but neither did he feel too bad.

That night he fell asleep next to the body of the dead fey, its head nestled in its hands, and was rudely awaken by two Orcs. It did not matter to Marakal how they found him or what they were doing there, he fought them and fought them hard. After a not so short fight he managed to kill them but lost his right ear in the fight and his face was deeply cut…

Marakal survived.

He got away from there as quickly as possible, running for his life, as shouts in the Black Tongue were being heard over the hush of the night. When at last he could rest he attended to his wounds, and after resting for a couple of days he cut off his left pinky in half, as a cautionary remainder: Stay Alert!!!

Some months ago…

Marakal did not stop.

He was concentrating very hard on keeping walking, one step after the other, thinking of nothing else, clearing his mind. For the past couple of days, Marakal has been walking non-stop, eating only while walking, drinking only very quickly.

The Pull he felt was directed at his very center, at the very thing that he was... if Marakal did not know better he would have thought it was supernatural. No, the Pull was an emotional one, and it started a couple of days ago when an old man patted him gently on the shoulder while he traded with a local farmer, and said: "Rashi, I was so sorry to hear about your father, he was a great ma...." A shiver went down Marakals' spine and the old man recognized his mistake; but Marakal followed him to a black alley and convinced him to tell him what he meant: Marakal was very much similar in look to a young legate, son of a Great Legate who supposedly died recently... the old man has seen him not a month ago heading with a contingent of Orcs to the mountains.

But he was not ready for the mountains: hungry, tired, and with no proper clothing the mountains won easily over him. When he came too he was in the company of dwarves…
