Backstory: Sybal doesn't remember much before Death came to Emon. Before Thordak came to Emon. She remembers the screams, she remembers heat and fire, she remembers the smell of charred flesh, and she remembers pain. How could she forget with the scars from Thordak's breath marring her body. What she can't remember is her family, her home, who she was. But that doesn't matter now, the Clasp is her family now, Emon's underbelly her home. In the aftermath of the Chroma Conclave's attacks the Clasp took her in, taught her how to survive, and named her Sybal, after their dead cat.

High Elf / Barbarian / Noble / The Arcana Pansophical
Valen Eld’th’ay is a young elf born to a long line of respected Wizards from the Elven city of Syngorn. However, Valen demonstrates few- if any- of the traits usually found in his people. Where an elf of his stature is meant to have poise, discipline, and social grace, Valen finds he is something else. His poise is stiff, his discipline shaky, and his social skills are... trained, but not naturally endowed. He may wear the frills and fancy jackets, but there’s hot blood boiling just beneath the surface.
Valen’s first knew it during a lesson in swordsmanship. His brother, Mindartis, enjoyed provoking Valen, and pushed him one step too far with jab, after jab with the practice sword. Valen doesn’t remember much about that first time, other than the blood... and that Mindartis would never again provoke him so openly.
Rather than try to close that path off to himself, Valen saw it as a road to distinction and strength. He opened himself fully to the strength of his body, learning to control the power that let him use his body like a battering ram.
His talents were not unnoticed. The Arcana Pansophical sees his birth and unusual talents as an opportunity. They have reached out to him to see how he performs handling some work. Valen knows an opportunity when he sees one, and is ready to rise to the challenge.
Backstory: Elgin does not know much about where he came from. His earliest memories were of the orphanage and being teased for his eye, which has a strange purple symbol in place of an iris and pupil. Then one day some strange people came to take him away. While Elgin was getting ready he happened to overhear them talking about the mark on his eye making it clear that they did not care if Elgin lived or died. Elgin was able to sneak away and has been surviving on his own living on the streets ever since. He has discovered his powers and has started to hone them.

Name: Arven Lighttouch
Race: Human variant
Class: Cleric - Arcana
Faction: The Arcana Pansophical
Living a life as a guide meant most of his time was spent researching, experimenting, and politics. The thrill of the mysteries to be uncovered through books and bureaucracy was all the buzz that Arven ever wanted. That was before the attacks from the Chroma Conclave. After the destruction and battles that ensued rattled him to his core. Stepping out from behind the desk to give aid to his neighbors and provide healing that needed it help change Arven’s paradigm. He’s meant for more, to help those in need, bring down beasts that look to hurt and control humanity. He has his allegiance to the Arcana Pansophical, But is ready to leave his mark on the world.

No Blood Hunters Per Taldori FAQ
6. Are Matthew Mercer’s classes legal to play?
Not for Season One. We do have plans to incorporate them as the timeline moves forward and the story progresses.
Here are my top group so far based things that I liked
* Allister Lewis, V. Human Blood Hunter (needs new class)
Oh, sorry, I’ll change it
I would love to pick a class to support the composition of the party, as the class doesn’t really change my backstory
What do people think we need?
I guess Warlock would work? I am open to suggestions
