BTW, updated the character post with the quote ("The Hedron is showing me so much. It's more than just knowledge, it's... truth." - You should get the reference..! 😄)
But still no pic for Sorgen in action, dunno if I will ever find it, especially resembling the portrait pic..!
About the age and years in Zendikar, Sorgen is 23, lived in Zendikar from birth till he was 4, studied Zendikar all his life.
So I have Finally sorted out my backstory and Character sheet now all that's left to do is the art and the dreaded quote
Backstory
A participant of the Last War since the Warforged became involved in it, Major spent most of their time fighting in the war for Cyre. After the war, it began working as a guard at the Sharn branch of House Cannith until Lerithyn was invited on an expedition to Xen’drik, and he chose to bring along a guard, choosing Major for this task. Major still prefers to remain genderless, unlike most warforged who pick up a male or female personality, and is generally clueless about many social norms. However, unbeknownst to them, Major wasn’t created in the creation forges like all other operational sentient warforged - they are 40,000 years old, one of the warforged created by the Quori to fight the Giants during their conflict on Xen’drik. During an expedition by House Cannith during the war, Major was discovered among some other warforged like them, that were used as templates for the modern warforged, but it’s sentience was reignited somehow, and it was accidentally mixed in with a batch of the newly created. Major never thought much of it, but their metal plating is made from a metal not found on Khorvaire – a hint to their unknown origins.
P.S.
Ra'sakar Gen'thac was a part of the expedition team that originally found Major, however since Major was inactive it is unaware of this and even Ras does not remember where he recognises Major from.

I've been using Zen'drikar as a (horrible) portmanteau of Zendikar and Xen'drik, beecause AFAICT, the two are sort of merged together for this game
Curious. Archaon and I have been calling it exactly like that since... 2010? When did we meet in WotC Community forum?
Now... Woo-hoo! This is all amazing... Special kudos to Omega for that super useful wiki (I was summarizing everything in my OneNote so far).
MehowTorm, you're more than welcome as our last member, though I must warn your background may feel not that much incorporated to the first chapter of our campaign.
Looking good Nutmeg! I noticed you don't have any racial traits in there. Have warforged been neutered in 5th edition?
Str & Con +1, AC +1, Immune to disease, no need to eat or breathe, but can ingest food/drink, enter inactive state in which you are fully aware lasting 4h instead of sleeping.
I have updated the wiki page with all of our character sheets. Each character now has it's own wiki page. If you have a PDF of your character sheet, I can embed those directly into the wiki pages (see example for Aukan Thuliaga). If anyone wants to send their PDF character sheet to me in a chat, or send me a link to your PDF online wherever you decide to host it, I will add it to your character page. I'm also trying to collect the quotes everyone has given, but I don't see quotes for these characters:
Lerithyn (subsistcyber)
Major (Nutmeg)
Ra'sakar Gen'thac (userZynx_name)
I am starting to expand the wiki into other realms with items, people, and locations important to each character. Again, anyone interested in assisting with editing can connect to ******* (new account or use Facebook account) and request access to the wiki.
My quote is in the spoiler of post 100, and also is in my sig. I've created a ******* account, but am having trouble finding where to request access to the wiki.
You can roll 4d6 drop the lowest 7 times dropping the lowest. Check the Zendikar Guide in the first post for additional races before deciding on a character. Right now we're 'sorta' lacking healing, could use another ranged, and have only one major spell-flinger.
You need a background, a nice picture, a personal quote, and a list of places you want to visit in-game.
Mehow, I've picked up the healing discipline already, but if you decide to go healing I'll switch that out for something more offensive I guess. Welcome to the game.

Oh crap you did. Maybe a heavy damage dealing spell flinger would be best then.
Damn, gone for one day and so many requests haha. Ok so what I'm hearing is wizard or sorcerer? I was looking more at the ranger but hell I'll give wizard a go! I'll get a character sheet up ASAP.
EDIT: Pretty sure I'm gonna go storm sorcerer with nothing but dmg spells. Still working on backstory and picture.
I should have known: the only place I would have found Sorgen in action had to be one of the original Zendikar block cards! Although it's not exactly combat action, it still qualifies I think. :) Sorgen is a Sea Gate Oracle! And his Hedron Archive is a cube hedron. :)
Also, changed his color tothis turquoise, from the second row of the palette.
Hey all so I have everything done, unfortunately my family is out and about today and the phone only gives very limited post options.
That being said my character is Stribog Northson, a Storm Sorcerer of the City Watch (still looking for a city). A bit more aggressive than the other guards, Stribog believes in a take no prisoners stance. Once his sorcerer powers awaken he wasted no time in learning magics that would break his enemies.
While most people learned spells to protect themselves or others, Stribog focus totally and completely on evocation spells so that he could end a chase before it even began. In Stribog's mind he would rather throw a lightening bolt then run after someone....cause he hates running.
That's all for now. I'm hoping that I'll be near a computer later tonight.
