01-04-07, 11:10 PM This is a background story for my soulknife character. He has been fixed so he fills the role of a fighter/scout type. He also has pretty good RP stats, 15(int), 14(wis), 10(cha). With 20(str), 18(dex), 18(con)

I'd like help about his traits, quirks.
What do you think he would be psychically speaking (i.e. compulsive, quick, reclusive, shy)
I'm not a great Role-player, (I'm new, and don't have acting skills in RL) but want to give it a shot cause this one is open book.

His alignment is Neutral (good), didn't pick up chaotic or lawful yet, and I can change it but not for long.
We are playing explorer type Dark Sun adventure.

p.s.
He has inate ability to make himself stronger (Animal Affinity power +4str)

thanks for any help

01-04-07, 11:11 PM Ever since I can remember my parents wanted me to be a psion. They even signed me up in a school for developing psionic powers. My father is a maker of psion crystals and is a well standing individual in this middle class we belong to. But my first memories were to tell you a different story. A story of teachers with throbbing veins trying to make me do what they want, make me manifest what they saw in me. Yes, I was able to make my self a little stronger or see a flash of a test in near future, but never what they wanted. Somehow I managed to pass up a few “grades” but I only enhanced what I already knew how to do, all until a day I killed a man.

It was a start of a night I went out with a bunch of my friends to celebrate passing of a test when three men came out of a street next to us. They stopped us and told us to give them all money (and any liquid) we had on us. Well I thought we were best to give everything up when they started to search us for anything we have kept. When a man came to me and shoved me all I knew is that I wanted to plunge a blade in his throat. That’s when it happened, I gathered all my strength and shoved him back with blood spilling all over my face. Everybody screamed and started to run. Later it seems that everybody thought it was some kind of sorcery. My father was the one to explain to the authorities what I later realized was a manifestation of a mindblade. From this point on I got support for something I had to do. Gain control and perfect using my mind blade.

First of all I got was a crystal that made my mindblade useless and was sent to train my body and the usage of all sorts of weapons, tactics etc. I was studying weapon designs, grips and weak points. This sort of training went for a few years from then on making me stronger, more dextrous and tougher. I disciplined myself to use hard weapons like everybody else. But all I wanted is to surge my blade out again.
When the crystal couldn’t hold me back they sent me to a man. Tristal was the one to tell me what am I a part off. Soulknife he first called me. We destroyed the crystal holding me back and with a burst I released two blades what almost left me handless and maimed. He released his own mindblade that was darkblue in hue, and started attacking me so fast and precise that I could do nothing but take a few cuts and a few bruises. I was angry, but he subdued my anger with his calmness and superioirity in control of his perfect weapon. When he tired me so much my blades recoiled and never again went out on their own.

Practising control and almost instant forming of the blade I trained a few years but never came even close to beat or overpower Tristal. He took me to see gladiator matches, took me to the desert and made me even tougher then before. But not just my body, he thought me selfcontrol and concentration that will make my blade sharper, my mind sharper and unite those two into what I am to be. I am a soulknife, mindblade and to perfection of it I strive.

So there’s one last thing that led me here, walking next to this wagon with some newly aquainted friends and a gladiator I see as an opportunity to start fulfilling my task. That thing is what my master Tristal said: “ You’ve studied the theoretical part of weapons, and gained some control of your gift. But there is much more and not all of it what I can teach you. You need to practise what you’ve learned and apply it in real life so the world is just a path to perfecting your own blade.

Do you need anythings else or maybe my questions were misplaced?

tnx again

01-12-07, 08:35 PM yeah, but this is a cruel setting... tortures,witchhunt on the wizards... feeding Thri-Kreen with a man that spied on us...
I'm thinking of picking neutral(towards) good and play improving on myself but helping party members and close NPC's.

Anyone sees this any other way?
