The cataclysmic war between the Prime Deities and the Betrayer Gods, known as the Calamity, ended centuries ago but it's effects are still felt today. Ancient powers lie dormant just below the surface. Your story begins with merriment and friendly competition, but echoes of the Calamity will propel you to the far reaches of Exandria and resurface the dark history of this world.

For the promise of power and glory, he sold off everything he owned and abandoned his family, committing monstrous acts of theft, violence, and extortion to advance the ambitions of the Temple. Finally free of his former masters' brainwashing, Bear Claw now wanders Xhorhas seeking more productive ways to use his criminal talents.

As time went on he found the spells easy to do and things went well till he grew more powerful than the shaman. He was forced out of the tribe by the jealous shaman. He adventures now.

Rekuberk Onc Level 8 | Half Orc | Barbarian (The Tales of the Fellowship of the White Cloaks)
Backstory: His father was a diplomat, ambassador, to the Kryn, and Jasper was raised among their society. Eventually joining their military ranks as he came of age and learning to fight alongside them. His political connection combined with his brute physical strength helped earn him entry into the echo knights, which he trained with diligently until embarrassment struck his family name, his father embroiled in controversy and expelled, and while Jasper was not excommunicated himself, he was "asked" to resign from his service to the empire. He grew up there, so decided to remain when his father was forced to leave. Now as a social pariah, Jasper survives as muscle for hire.
Background: (Outlander) Baetrix Grymwillow grew up as the daughter of a witch and a warrior. Her father taught her swordcraft, hunting, and how to survive in horrid weather. Her mother taught her hemocraft - blood magic - along with how to brew mutagens and potions.
Baetrix joined in the fights against the Kryn Dynasty, whenever their aggressive missionaries came to convert her people to worship the Luxon. She remains distrustful of all things Kryn, but doesn't mind taking their gold.
Baetrix's wanderlust outpaced that of her clan's. She has spent the last month wandering among the towns and scenery of the unfamiliar places in Xhorhas. She plans to return to her clan someday, but she wants a magnificent story to tell before she does.
Name: Fadi Race: Verdan Class: Paladin - Oath of Devotion Brief Backstory: As all of the Verdans, Fadi doesn't understand very well his own existence. He's a bit lonely - he never really had a family or close friends. On the other had, he worked for almost a decade in a small general shop, and when the business went down, his former clients helped him survive. A few of them suggested that he had the build to be an adventurer, and that idea grew on him - he decided to go out there, explore the world, and devoted himself to do good things as others did to him. He's curious, kind, but quite naive.
Name: Kamisama Shin Race: High Elf Class: Wizard Brief Backstory: "Bookworm" could be Kamisama's middle name. Having spent his youth browsing books in libraries, dusting old tomes from long forgotten ruins, or buying them off sketchy vendors, Kamisama learned spells and practiced them thoroughly, all for a single goal; to find out where his village disappeared to. Indeed, while Kamisama was absent, his whole village disappeared without a trace. Behind lingered heavy traces of magic, and so he departed to seek out what happened, and a way to bring it back.
Name: Gakas Race: Bugbear Class: Wizard, Order of Scribes Backstory: Gakas is an odd one for his kind. Having spent his youth studying in libraries, dusting old tomes from long forgotten ruins, or buying them off sketchy vendors to hone his unique skills in preparation for the war against the Kryn Dynasty that nearly devastated his homeland. Having been bullied by his goblinoid peers for not following their path in either trickery, assassination or even just brute strength, Gakas now travels around Xhorhas to prove that bugbears are capable of doing anything, including spellcasting.

Mizzen - Male Triton Paladin (Lvl 1), Currently In Sleeping Gods (Thank you Damian May for keeping my hopes of playing in at least 1 pbp alive)
Backstory: Whirys Muzzár is a Xhorhasian gambler and failing merchant of a somewhat faulty moral compass, though this is disguised by his warm and wise temperament. Abandoned as a chick, he was rescued and espoused by an elderly Drow who earned coin as a local magician and potion master, and was apprenticed into the trade. His mentor's murder rattled young Whyris and, despite his best efforts, saw him lapse from earning a respectable keep into gambling and thievery time and time again. Now at a particularly bad period in his career, he seeks any excuse to leave Xhorhas once and for all... could this be it?
EDIT: this was not his lucky break... Whirys sinks deeper into a life of crime and poverty
