MABHE

12th Level Eladrin Wizard
Student of Caiphon
Unaligned

Background: She encountered it first slowly in her dreams as her entertaining Troupe was heading to one of those places in the Astral sea. Caiphon whispered softly, slowly eroding the sanity of a once powerful illusionist. Talented enough to perform for kings, queens and even the occaisional demigod. But now what little sanity is left is tempered by a moral compass that is as random as a dice game.

Caiphon whispered secrets of the far realm that no sane person should hear. He fed her dreams that no one should witness. The festering maw that is Caiphon seeks to consume rational thought and replace it with the non-euclidean thinking that can only be seen as random and obtuse. But it is these random acts that that pave the way for Caiphon. The random acts that are actually components to a very elaborate spell that is ritually casts for eons. Every tiny act contributes energy to the mathematically impossible matrix that will open the gateway to the Devourer of the Psyche.

Even to this day Mabhe recieves visions from Caiphon. These visions are compulsions (Much like some one with severe OCD. Tap your fore arm as you count to ten or walk into the same room three times and other weird ritualistic things like that) These can happen "AT ANYTIME".

Mabhe probably never has met anyone else that is a servent of Caiphon at this point. But would most certainly want to meet them. Think of the insanity that would insue.

Paragon Path: Student of Caiphon

"The Dream Whisperer pays more attention to the world than any other of its ilk. It might have a plan and a part to play in the world's final destiny."

Prerequisite: Warlock class, star pact

You studied the limitless abysses and the bright points of enigmatic light that hang between them. You listened
to the baffling disordered sounds that emerged from the simple astronomical lenses you used for your study. You learned the stars were not the innocent lamps above the world that most assumed. Despite this unsettling knowledge, you continued your study, eventually narrowing your concentration to just one star—a star named Caiphon. That's when the dreams began.

You dreamed of a fitful star of purple fire. You walked in its light to the edge of a slime-lined pit that pulsed and heaved like a living maw, eager to consume. You hurled yourself into the cavity as the purple star flared. You fell into an amoebic sea, where you were digested over the course of a thousand years, or perhaps just one night.

When you woke, your eyes were opalescent purple orbs, and Caiphon began whispering—whispering—into your ear. Even though you could hear only the merest fragments of Caiphon's never-ending instructions and insights, a knowing smile stitched itself across your face.

SHARN

12th Level Drow Paladin
Member of the Gray Guard
Good

Background: On one the worlds of the prime material plane-the Eladrin and the Drow had elevated their ancient holy war to a world-war. The Drow had captured the capital city they needed and its powerful resources. They now had the upper hand-and where winning. Of all the Drow-one of the least of least families was the clan D'ark. Lady Lindara was the youngest daughter of the clan-the least skilled in magic, the least powerful in arms, almost no poltical connections... but she was skilled in organizing resources. He sisters loathed her, but found her harmless and without ambition or the power to gain any. As a result, she was put in charge of slave processing and resource management. She hated her sisters, and found peace in numbers and order... and got the most out of slave labor by almost humane treatment. Her results protected her from reprisal from the other Drow, so she and her chosen Drow male mate-a skilled musican-where allowed to run the warhouses in peace.

The war kept anyone from living in peace, however. A major assault hit the warhouses-killing Lindara's beloved mate. Devastated, she retreated into her work, her family and sisters not caring to even to see to her. During the slave processing, she found a Eldarin male who was a musician like her husband, yet not a solider. His name was Sharark, and was taken in a reprisal raid, where he had lost his own family. He worked with her to keep the slaves alive and healthy, and in time, the two fell in love. He pretended to be her personal slave-when actually they had been married in secret.

They where afraid when they found out she was pregnant-but the truth was revealed to them-the Eladrin and the Drow where not a separate species-they where one. Their child appeared Drow-but was healthy, strong, and well-formed. They raised him with the fiction he was Lindara's first Husband's child. She had been distant from her sisters for so long the fiction worked... for a time. A spy had discovered she was married to her slave-but not her child's identity. She and her husband where sentenced to torture and death-and their son was forced to watch-and then sent off to learn from her sisters.

The boy never forgot the lessons of his parents-and became a mole inside the Drow's head city-state fortress. He tipped-off the Eldarin resistance, and showed them how to bypass the defenses... and fought alongside them. The Eldarin won the day-and with the taking of the city allowed the balance of power to shift so drasticly that the Drow had to declare a cold war. A summit was to be called. The boy was to come with the Eldarin, to seek further peace. What he found was the Drow who had betrayed and ordered the deaths of his family. Before he could be stopped, he slaughtered them.

The peace treaty was nearly broken-the Drow calling for his death and the Eldarin refusing to kill the man who had made their victory possible. A compromise was reached-banishment. The boy was sent off-world, and magically sealed-off from his home. He had to take a new name, in order to avoid the Drow killers hunting him down. He named himself Sharn Twiceborn-for his rebirth into a new world.

Paragon Path: Gray Guard

"Do whatever it takes to get the job done, and worry about the moral questions later."

Prerequisite: Paladin, trained in Insight and Intimidate

As a paladin, you cleave to principles that guide you through life, shaping your worldview and forming your moral foundation. Even if you don't follow a code of behavior, you follow the precepts of your god and work to live up to your faith's expectations. Yet the enemy never plays fair. Sometimes rules must be bent, or even broken, for the greater good.

No one knows this better than you, a gray guard. You have made a career of defying expectations and making the tough choices that your peers avoid. For you, the ends justify the means—even stealing, lying, or brutal interrogation. You do what you must to defeat the enemy. Your tactics don't make you popular with others in service to your god. Many see you as dangerous, almost as much of a threat as your enemies. Let them say what they will. You know that, deep down, they fear you and might even respect you.

As you continue down this path, you might feel estranged from your god, a disappointment to the one for whom you have sacrificed so much. The blood staining your hands has somehow darkened your soul, although your abilities are unaffected. But you do what you must.

DIVINE CHALLENGE
You boldly confront a nearby enemy, searing it with divine light if it ignores your challenge.
At-Will * Divine, Radiant
Minor Action * Close burst 5
Target: One creature in burst
Effect: You mark the target. The target remains marked until you use this power against another target, or if you fail to engage the target (see below). A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place.

While a target is marked, it takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn't include you as a target. Also, it takes radiant damage equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier the first time it makes an attack that doesn't include you as a target before the start of your next turn. The damage increases to 6 + your Charisma modifier at 11th level, and to 9 + your Charisma modifier at 21st level.

On your turn, you must engage the target you challenged or challenge a different target. To engage the target, you must either attack it or end your turn adjacent to it. If none of these events occur by the end of your turn, the marked condition ends and you can't use divine challenge on your next turn.

You can use divine challenge once per turn.

Special: Even though this ability is called a challenge, it doesn't rely on the intelligence or language ability of the target. It's a magical compulsion that affects the creature's behavior, regardless of the creature's nature. You can't place a divine challenge on a creature that is already affected by your or another character's divine challenge.
