Ozil is an archaeologist traveling the world investigating the rise and fall of long lost kingdoms. He has published several books to the major libraries of the kingdom, mainly focusing on lore and history. Some of you may have heard of Ozil through these works, or else some rumor he is investigating have let him to the same place as you are currently at.
@ChiefQuake - As your character is a scholar, we could have met before, either be coworking on some history subject, or you could have studied one of Ozil's books, or Ozil may have come to you for your knowledge on a subject that you are a scholar of. Ultimately you could be my student, if that would make sense for your background.
Having been able to access the Weave and use its magic for as long as she could remember, Marseis has dedicated her existence to unraveling the secrets of magic. Why can some use it naturally, while others must study and learn? Why can some folks never grasp it at all no matter how hard they try? What is different between the godly magics mastered by those of faith, the natural energies drawn upon by those who dwell in nature, and the arcane power that those who study - or, like her, are born into - the Weave
At some point in her pursuit of this knowledge she encountered Ozil, a traveling archaeologist and author. Fascinated by the concept of finding ancient magics yet to be uncovered, she decided to join him in his research for a time.
Avaleria is is not your run of the mill street thug. She has spent her entire life watching everyone around her, and has recently taken an interest in a small gnome and a rather odd looking tiefling. As you can imagine, people do not take kindly to those who look different then themselves, and as an Eladrin Elf, she needs all the odd looking friends she can muster. She has no interest in the arcane or of the pursuit of knowledge, but being someone who enjoys borrowing things (With no intent on returning them), friends are a necessary evil in this world. Ava follows Marseis and Ozil very closely, inching closer and closer, knowing that one of them is bound to notice her.
Hahah well, in that case she probably finds Marseis incredibly interesting, seeing as Marseis is a magic user who gained her powers through having a Dragon as an ancestor. Perhaps your character follows Marseis around to study her; much to Marseis' annoyance.
Since Avaleria does not really have any connection to the arcane, other then possibly have stolen a few items in the past, that we have done business before in the buying and selling of magic items? The other possibly would be that Avaleria has quite the reputation of being someone to go to when things get hot, and you had reached out to me in prior days, regarding whatever task you may have needed.
Edit: Marseis's suggestion is a much more plausible scenario. We have know each other from our earlier years living on the streets. Though we have not been as close in recent years, the thought of a rekindled friendship, makes Avaleria tag along.
Marseis is a friendly enough sort, albeit a bit crusty, but she grew up on the streets when she was young. She could very well know and have been friends with Avaleria from that time, if you'd like.
Frightwatcher was taken into the Temple of the God of War and gained his nickname after defending a remote temple fro several frightening demons. His entire clan, the Lakumigalas died, due to a plague and other battles. He mostly found your group based on him being a big warrior, and his faith loving the battle.
Ozil - Wizard - Traveling Archaeologist and bookauther Frightwatcher - Fighter - Big warrior to protect us all Marseis - Sorcerer - Student of the weave Avaleria - Rogue - Street rat, friend of Marseis Kara - Wizard - Scholar of dragons
Here is my suggestion for a common ground: Having just recently finished his last book, on the magic nature of firbolgs, Ozil is looking on a new subject to delve into. This makes him seek out his old colleague Kara who is currently researching dragons, and their magic properties. This research is assisted by the scholar Marseis who has dragons blood in his veins giving him access to the use of magic.
Together Ozil, Marseis and Kara, run into a problem that needs a more practical approach than what you can do in a study, so they need people to join them with more physical talents. Ozil knew a guy, that he have traveled with before called Frightwatcher. Just a month ago Ozil had problems entering a tomb, this had made Ozil hire the sellsword, and together they managed to get to the center of the tomb, only to find it empty. So instead of treassure Frightwatcher had been giving all the ale he could drink at the local tavern by Ozil.
With the warrior entering the group, the scholars felt ready to get their hands dirty, and set out from their safe study. On their way out of town, they meet a rocus, as a large group of people have gathered as a thief had been caught redhanded, and a city guard was about to chop of their hand as punishment. As the scholars moved through the crowd, Marseis suddenly yells for the guard to imedietly stop his actions. The guard stops and argue that this troublemaker has to be punished, and there are only to ways, either be chopping of their hands or throwing them into the dungeons, this would be the easier way. Having recognised the thief as an old friend Marseis, was detirmined to safe her, so she payed off the guard, and was reunnited with her old friend Avaleria.
Together they left the city behind them, and walked out to face whatever problem they could not solve in their study.

Group: My Scholar studies dragons as her main focus, but also studies magic, and has met multiple people with interest in magic and other studies.
Baxthon: she might have met through studies and made friends with you.
Jaysburn: she might have been a friend of yours who happens to study the same thing.

Maybe, if that's what will move the story forward. :-]

It all sounds great. So to recap:
Ozil - Wizard - Traveling Archaeologist and bookauther
Frightwatcher - Fighter - Big warrior to protect us all
Marseis - Sorcerer - Student of the weave
Avaleria - Rogue - Street rat, friend of Marseis
Kara - Wizard - Scholar of dragons
Here is my suggestion for a common ground:

That's GREAT! We'll use that! XD
