I am creating a Psiforged and could use some help fleshing out his background.
Any aid would be appreciated.


Background:
Like most warforged, H642 was created for one purpose; war. He had spent the beginning of his existence training for his brutal calling, engaged in the elaborate war games orchestrated by House Cannith to develop the skills needed on the field of battle.
He had only seen ten months of combat in the service of Cyre before The Day of Mourning. When he awoke, all was still. The charred body of humanoids littered the once chaotic battlefield. The land that would constantly resound of shouts and screams now lay with a defining silence. The soil once stained red with the blood and sweat of countless soldiers was now scorched black and littered with corpses indistinguishable from the next; the air was rank with the smell of seared flesh. H642 found that, like the land, he too had changed. Odd crystals had formed in and on his body. He found himself seeking the answers to questions that he could not answer; questions that, prior to the mourning, he had no aspiration to pose. He wandered the ruined battlefield for months until he crossed path with survivors. During the expeditious departure from the ruined Cyre, H642 learned much of the concept of “home” from the other survivors which mostly consisted of mercenaries and soldiers who, up until a few months ago, had been ordered to kill on sight. The survivors parted way as soon as they could, to return to there homes and families they had before joining the war. When the Treaty of Thronehold was signed, it left hundreds of warforged with out direction, and H642 without any “home” to return to. Wandering the roads of Khorvaire was not much of an option, but it was the only one present, Cyre was no more and his squad had been killed on the Day of Mourning. Though many greeted him with hostility, distrust and, in some cases, out right violence, his mind kept dwelling on the abstract notion of “home”.

A nice story, for a standard warforged warrior, who survived the war and now search a sense to his life...
But why do you call him a psiforged? Is it a Psychic Warrior? Was he always a psychic warrior, or did his powers developped only after the war? If the former, he should be fighter 1/psychic warrior X, but in the later, he could be completely psychic warrior. Perhaps the human who trained him was very strange, and his teaching continually put him under his fellow warforged in gladiatory fights. He was nevertheless sent to war, and in the middle of the battle, he suddenly developped his powers, which allowed him to survive...

Sounds good. Seeing as how he woke up after the mourning growing crystals and posing questions, it seems obvious to me that the mourning did other things to his mind, including opening him up to psionics, or his higher conciousness. He only slowly realizes it, as he gains power. The mourning wiped him of his previous combat training, but did instill these strange thought patterns.

Good Luck
