Since I haven't rolled for my stats yet I have to wait for first gaming session, I also don't know which level I'm starting off as, some people say 5 some say 6 or 7 because we have people around those level range. The campaign seems to be a post apocalyptic game in Asia where Vampires control much of Asia where most of Asia is controled by monsters / vampires with few areas controlled by humans. Can you guys tell me what you think?

Name: Yumi, Akita
Age: 16
Class: Sorcerer
Height: 5ft 5”
Weight: 121
Background: As a young infant Yumi arrived in Beijing with her father Toson no older then one month old. Toson explained that Yumi’s mother died during child birth and avoided subject about his wife even towards Yumi. Although Toson practiced magic as wizard he never achieved anything remarkable and introduced Yumi to magic and wanted her to study wizardry. Around Yumi was around the age of eight years old Toson was requested for cheap magical assistance for magical relic which harden a person skin which enables a person shrug off blows. However majority of the group never made it back including Toson. After the death of Yumi’s father she was placed in orphanage.

Around the age of twelve Yumi’s orphanage began experience strange phenomenon as various spontaneous light and sounds occurred in the orphanage. As these occurrences began to occur more often the orphanage care givers started believing Yumi was actually possessed by some sort of evil as the occurrences of these strange events seem to only happen around her. Yumi slowly discovered the root of the problem was not an evil force possessing her, but a raw uncontrolled arcane magic. Although the clerics believed they were exorcising the evil spirit from Yumi, she was in fact learning to control this form of magic.

As Yumi started to grasp her innate talent she attempted read up on any materials from basic magic to stories of magic. With Yumi starting to harness her magical abilities around the age of 14 a freak occurrences where her hair color changed and eye color changed from brown and hazel to red hair and reddish brown eyes. At first Yumi was chastised for dyeing her hair however as she learned how to manifest rumors flared around as she learned to convert her spell energy into breath of fire shaped into a cone. These rumors were vastly different such as people claiming Yumi was descended from a fire breathing monster and others claimed that people saw Toson as vampire around same time as her dramatic change.

As Yumi’s power matured and was firmly under her control she yearned to leave Beijing to explore the world and to prove she wasn’t an evil abomination as some people claimed she was. To continue her growth of her arcane talent Yumi began searching for someone to guide her talent as an apprentice.

The feats Yumi would be taking is Draconic heritage, and Draconic breath and my Draconic Arcane Grace, after lvl 6 Maxmize meta magic.
