Basic Description: He is built like a half-elf only more muscular and with orc-like skin

Background
Diran was the only child of a Half-Orc father and a fully elven mother. They named him after a priest friend of his fathers. Although they did raise him for a good amount of their life they believed that neither of them was a good parent. They gave him to a friend named Thorin Grimlie, a half-dwarf/half-Orc descending from a member of House Kundarak who had a clan of people from rather odd mixture of parents or were just half breeds looking for a place to call home. This clan lived on the outskirts of Mror Holds(hence Diran's last name). Despite hatred between the races there were also Half-Elves and Half-Orcs. He was taught by clerics of both races but never got beyond learning how to do a lower level exorcism due to his lack of a true patron deity at that time. After his time training as a priest he got into the art of Assassination, an art almost sacred to orcs and half-orcs. He seemed to be a natural. He left the clan when he became a master. A few years after he left the clan he herd that one of his Clerical masters was killed by a agent of the archdevil Levistus. To avenge his master he infiltrated a devil worshiping cult hopping to fine a way to kill both worshipers and demons under Levistus' service. His luck was great at this time as it brought him to a cult who worshiped Glasya the daughter of Asmodeus. Glasya has a will to destroy Levistus for murdering her mother,Lady Bensozia, the Queen of Baator. This is where he met Castalra,The Mistress of the Erinyes and a member of Glasya's Court. It was during a summoning ritual. He stayed in the cult a little bit longer to learn how to summon Castalra. He was drawn to her almost forcibly. He still left the Cult after words deciding he could fight the Cult of Levistus on his own.

Personality
Proud. A leader. Careful and well educated.

Animal Companion or Familiar

A hyena named 'Gorellik'(named after the original patron god of gnolls)

10-20-07, 10:36 AM I think its a pretty awsome character actually, though if it were me i would make his mixed heritage a little more unique.

Perhaps the town you have him from actually exists but he hasnt discovered it yet. WIth such an interesting race (3 races is pretty heavy... and elven and orc is great no matter what way you look at it) id make it somewhat of a focus point of the character.

Good work!

10-20-07, 11:59 PM Interesting concept, I made an assassin who had fallen for erinyes too. Although he was an NPC made to kill my players, and he was a Disciple of Dispater, so he fell in love with who he summoned.

Anyway, as is I think it is pretty cool. My one question, unless I am blind, I don't see a level for him. I like his backstory but it won't fit much at all if you are starting him at low levels. Unless you are just making him for fun, then he is fine.

10-21-07, 12:02 AM What level does he sound like. Yes i did make him just for fun. I will be roleplaying with him though. Now that I think of it he could be body guard for a lower level character i make or something.

If he is going to be straight cleric into assassin then I think that will be a pretty hefty level requirement. I like the concept but if you want to play it low level you might have to do some reordering. Requirements for assassin are: any evil (DMs often wave that) and 8 ranks in hide/move silent. If you have it as a class skill then you would be looking at 6th lvl to be 1st lvl assassin.

If you are straight cleric lvl 13 is the lowest you can be to put 8 ranks in a cross class, ouch.

I would talk to your DM, try and get them as class skills maybe? Or you might have to add some more classes into the concept.

In reality almost any class can be an assassin, it is just a hired hand, but since your character has specific training in it you should get something to reflect that, assassin prestige class, a ninja prestige class, something that would offer poison uses or assassin like abilities.

Good concept, but you may need to tweak him some.
