The Characters
Jonah
6 Mage/ 3 Psi/ 1 Fighter Human Male (I allow multi-classing of humans in my campaign [I think the official rule is kinda dumb...]). Jonah was born from an affair between a slave woman and a High Templar of Tyr. Afraid that news of the child might ruin his career, Templar Pyre sent guards to kill the woman and her child. Jonah was hidden, his mother killed. A travelling merchant found the child, and intended on raising it to sell as a slave later. Upon coming through a small town (which does not exist now), Jonah was sold to a wizard named Owen. Owen raised the boy as his apprentice, and the child took to magic quickly. But the boy was different from the rest. His eyes were blacker than the darkest obsidian, yet his skin was as pale as snow. As Jonah progressed through his magical training, stange things began happening. It didn't take long for Jonah to learn he could draw energy from the shadows. Owen was displeased with this, and stopped Jonah's training. Jonah retaliated by informing the townspeople that Owen was a mage. They hanged him that night. Jonah began his travels then, picking up new knowledge and skills along the way. Now he looks to seek revenge upon his father for killing his mother, a dificult task indeed.
Al'Kar'Karit (Elven for "Orange Head")
3 Mage/ 3 Ranger Elven male. Al'kar gets his name from his huge crop of bright orange hair (which is worn in a fashion similar to Einstiens). His pale green eyes, numerous blue tattoos and height of 7 and 1/2 feet make him extremely odd to look at. His entire tribe (the Blue Elves) were taken to work on Kalak's Ziggaurat after they were found to be selling huge amounts of spell components. Him and his sister were the only ones to escape (though his sister (10 years old [she's actually another PC] had her back broken, and is now crippled from the waste down. Al'Kar is now working as a guide so he can earn money, with which he intends to buy his tribe back with.
Brom
6th level human Psionicist. Brom's past is a mystery, one which he shares with no one. He is the only evil PC I've ever had. Armed with two finely crafted shields as weapons, and a fine mastery of Telepathic and Psychokinetic powers, he travels the Tyr region in search of personal power, so that one day, he may rule supreme...
