Alright dice gods... what you got for me this time... Ability scores: 13910101313 - maybe they were just playing with me the first time :)
Pardot Kynes (I'll update the scores and gear later if chosen), is a halfling druid (circle of stars). Though the Ghostwise tend to stick to themselves, Pardot always had his heads in the clouds, or rather the stars, growing up. He saw omens in them everytime he looked, and one night a few years back he noticed a star in the Crown get very bright for a few days before disappearing. Knowing this must mean something, he packed up and headed to Terrania where he first learned of the war going on. Though not a fighter, he knew that other talents are also needed in war.
After being sent to Charnaxhe quickly realized war is not for him! But it was too late to get out of it now... and the sign... it must have meant something... Happy that things are 'over', he's been given one final mission. To escort the young price back to town. Following the stars he readies his bags and hops to see them from his old mountain top again. But... why is the star back in the Crown after so long?...
Backstory: Varis grew bored of his elven home, and moved to Terrania. He used his skill in the elven art of bladesinging to become a bounty hunter, and enjoyed it for many years. When the war started, he decided to offer his skills to the effort, though the lack of freedom in the army didn't suit him too well. But now the war is won, and the journey back home begins.
Backstory: As a child, he was kidnapped by a blue dragon to take as an apprentice. After a breath from the dragon, he was granted powers as a Draconic Sorcerer. He eventually learned how to control his powers and became a powerful Mage and was released back to his town. He was welcomed back with open arms and set with a master mage to go on an adventure to save the town. He suceeded and was given a cloak and amulet as his reward. For years after he grew up, ocasionly visiting his teachers and learning tips and tricks from them. When he turned 20, he set out on an adventure and, cut.

Backstory: Vutha comes from a tribe of Lizardfolk that lived on the boundary of Terrania. In order to protect their ways of life from outsiders and gain the protection of Terrania the tribe sends out representatives of their tribe to help and broker for peace. Vutha was 15 when the war broke out. Believing that he may earn his tribe's continued existence, he joined the warfront as a scout, messenger, and infiltrator when it called for it. With his druidic powers there was very little he couldn't get access to and in combat he was a terror to deal with. Now after the conflict and his proving his heads home to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
It is with heavy heart and heavier hand that I write to you. Though the fighting has ended, it seems like my own personal troubles have merely begun. They say war changes a man and I'm afraid this has shown true in more ways than you could imagine, for I am no longer the same person you said goodbye to all those years ago. In the final days of battle, I spurred the men onwards to victory with my wardrums when disaster struck. Mages were flinging spells left and right and it was my misfortune to be caught in the collision of several spells. An even greater misfortune was that I found myself at that moment near one of the war elephants who likewise got caught in the blast. It is hard to describe what happened next. Flesh stretched, senses faded and reality warped and when I regained consciousness, I noticed, to my surprise and (initial) great distress, that my skin had turned grey, my ears had become great and flappy and my nose had elongated into a trunk. I had fused with the elephant into some hybrid of the two!
My shock was great but you should have seen the faces of the others when I, now 8 feet tall and 400 pounds heavy (does that make me the big brother then?), lumbered into camp to report back to base command. I've become somewhat of a celebrity, though I wish it were for my valour in battle rather than being an elephant on two legs, like some comically misfigured werewolf (I can't change back, I tried)
Several of the camp mages have tried their hand at changing me back or seperating the elephant from me but so far all attempts have failed. Even the druid they commisioned said that there is nothing she can do. There is a little speck of good news however: turns out that elephants have a natural disposition towards druidic magic but they lack the language and dexterity to perform actual magic. Who knew? Long story short: I can do magic now! Personally I think it's a residual effect from being blasted with several magic spells at once but I've been an elephant man for just a week now while the druid said that some of her best friends are elephants so I'm not about to argue with her. (she's quite nice, you'd like her)
Anyway, I'm sending you this letter to let you know that the army and I are homeward bound. I don't know if my current state is merely temporary or even reversable but in the case it's not, would you kindly inform the family of my current predicament? The last thing we need is for mom to faint and for dad to gather his hunting posse.
Your loving brother,
Valum
PS: Do not despair much for me. I'm adjusting as best as I can and I must say: the trunk does come in handy when beating the drums.

Backstory: Piero is marching home. He left his farm life years ago, a lifetime ago, when he was only a lad. He truly grew up on the battlefields as a common foot soldier spearman. He has no idea if there is a home to go back to. Oh Iris, how things could have been different, if we had been born in different times. He is sure that his “love” has moved on and probably has one or two children by now. That’s ok, because she probably wouldn’t recognize him any longer anyway.

Name: Tidus Astora Race: Water Genasi Class: Druid (Circle of Stars) Background: Sailor Backstory:
Tidus is a native of the isle of Quadros, and made his living as a merchant sailor traveling to and from the mainland. Tidus was always fond of sailing by night and navigating by the stars, looking up to the pinpricks of light above him and dreaming of what lied beyond the seas he had claimed as his home. Unfortunately, Tidus and his fellow crew were in the wrong place at the wrong time - the Charnaxians began their invasion of Quadros under the cover of night, and Tidus's ship was one of the few out on the waters. To prevent any witnesses, the Charnaxian Fleet opened fire on Tidus's meager vessel and sank it with nary a warning. Tidus found himself flung overboard and clung for dear life to a shattered remnant of his boat. The last thing he remembered was looking up at the stars, and seeing one burning far brighter than all the others, as if calling to him in his time of need. Then, he went unconscious.
He awoke in the morning, washed ashore once more on Quadros, and found his home in ruin. The Charnaxians had moved quickly, devastating any possible resistance that Quadros could have put up. Not one to be a foolhardy hero, Tidus hid in a nearby sea cave until night fell once more. He looked once more to the stars, begging for guidance - and that same star from the prior night shone brightly in his vision once more. He basked in its radiance, and by some strange otherworldly magics Tidus found himself empowered by the heavens above him. The constellations above guided his way to a small abandoned skiff, and he made his way by night to the great city of Terrania. There, he enlisted with the Alliance of Light, feeling that the stars had given him a new calling - to right the wrongs that Charnax had brought upon his home.
