Being part of the Wayfinder's would be a fine reason for Ras to have been hired for the expedition, though I'm not sure what being an "underground agent" for them would entail, given it is an explorer's guild. So long as he was only invited recently (or before he went into isolation 108 years ago, though I don't believe it was around then), he should be willing (or he's refused to go out in the past 8 years), after all, he has a (adopted) daughter to take care of. Now that she's 11, he feels its ok to leave Stormreach for an extended duration. (I specifically left the last 8 years somewhat vague, detailing only that he has been raising Lakavakri).
I will probably encounter difficulty finding an image that I can easily edit to look like Ra'sakar of a male drow in action at all, but I'll do my best, and give the quote then.
EDIT: Went and played 15 minutes of DDO and mashed the screenshot button. Got a semi-decent image and then ruined it with my edits. Of course, this art doesn't depict him very well.
"Your thoughts betray you."
EDIT2: The more I look at that image, the more I dislike it. I got a friend to do a sketch for me (I'm not the arty type), and I should have it up by tomorrow (Perhaps with a better quote too).
Well, I'm a complete failure in drawing or image editing so I just grabbed some images I think will help understand Cassiel.
This is Cassiel when he is in control of his feelings and not his inner demons or the ones external to him:
This is him when the shadows take over his feelings, when he needs to give into his Xoriat heritage to face a great evil:
The quote is still in creation, but will involve something like: The real fight is not with the evil outside, but with the demons inside. (I am having trouble being a gloom character but I just love the idea of the character, his essence, his heritage says he should be evil but he fights it with all heart and soul to the point of going insane, that's why he speaks with unseen angels).
So I have Finally sorted out my backstory the character sheet will be up tomorrow. It's name is Major
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.
Pretty cool backstory. I enjoyed that you too have connections to the Sulatar (Though I feel I must note that the Sulatar drow do not revere scorpions, only the Vulkoori drow do). You you sort of have "Scholar/Guard that can help Guide"
As an aside, can I ask all of the character's ages, and if they've been to Zen'drikar, how long ago that was? In Major's case it is obvious (40000/33, though unaware they've ever been there), and Ra'sakar has lived in Xen'drik all 283 years of his life.

Lerithyn is about 26 years old now. He left when he was 16. But that was 16 years of learning how the Traveler's Curse works. He was basically his tribe's navigator at the age of 12. :p
Of course... that was 10 years ago and he's all 'civilized' now.
I am very interested in participating!!! I liked the first poster over the second one! When should I roll a character? I saw that the Unearthed Arcana is allowed, not sure yet what I would run but I will let you know ASAP. Anything that I need to be aware of before making a character?

PbP Character: Stribog Northson(Zendikar/Eberron) "Why chase them when a bolt of lightening goes so much faster"
PbP Character: Vilk Dusza (The Peak's of Winter's Hold)
If Gonz allows you to join, I'd recommend a primarily ranged character, as we only have one out of the six current players prioritising ranged it seems (That would be subsistcyber with his character, Lerithyn)

By the way, what is the name of this campaign? I like Zynx's portmanteau of Xen'drik and Zendikar: Zen'drikar. Unless I hear otherwise, that's what I'm calling it. :D
I think it is Forgotten Relics or Return of the Quori (the names on the posters in the OP). Probably Return of the Quori, because that poster is what most of us were more interested in.

That friend of mine just finished the piece, and I thought it looked too nice to colour in, so here it is in all of its black and white glory (Also, I've provided a better quote, though it doesn't quite go with the scene):
"Hush now. I'm busy crushing the minds of our enemies, and your chatter is making it difficult to concentrate"

To help us out with some organization, I propose maintaining a wiki page. I created the following site for our campaign and have upload the campaign introduction and all of our character backgrounds. I'll put our character sheets up tomorrow. Here are the three pages currently available:
It's a wiki site, so the idea is that we could all help to edit it and keep it up to date. This would provide a single, easy-to-reference site for us to keep track of our characters and even keep notes about NPCs and the locations we visit. Anyone who wants to can create a free ******* account and request access to edit the wiki page. What do you all think; does this sound useful?

"I am not to be toyed with"
Oh man... it felt like it took me forever to find that image of a robed, covered, mysterious person with a gun. :) I'm glad that it's acceptable.
Without further ado:
"You might want to cover your ears. This is going to be loud."
Pic #2 (It would look better if I had any real photoshop skills):
"You might want to cover your ears. This is going to be loud."
Edit: Ok... I like it.

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

We're up to 6 players, but I leave the decision to Mr. Gonz.
