Ok this is a first for me, normally I create no backround at all and just go with the character making up a backstory as needed and as questions are asked. However, that method never really worked that well as no mannerisms or anything ever got developed and the characters never really seemed to take shape. So with the new character and his cohort I am creating I would like some help with a good backstory. The campaign we are playing takes place on the Astral Plane on a city called Jewel, where all of the citizens are lvl 4 LA and all people under that are slaves. Psionic powers are well known in the area as is all other types of magic, although divine magic doesn't work and as such the only real healers are the psions. My character, Ganarth, is a Gray Elf/Half-Fiend (Inccubous) Psion Shaper. He is very good at alchemy and is also very knowlageable in Arch/Eng. He is very weak however his intelligence is very high (33 at lvl 7). He has a psicrystal and has taken the feat leadership along with extend spell and boost construct. He is going to be either Neutral Evil or Neutral Neutral as he doesn't really care about the world and is more focused in on himself and attaining more inward power. The cohort, Greth, is an Unbodied Psion Telepath. He is pretty intellegent (26 at lvl 1) and constantly has mindlink up with my character so that they share one mind. He too has a psicrystal and extend spell. His alignment will be the same as my character whenever I finalize it. I am thinking that he would have been a githzeri before he became unbodied and thus he hates the githyanki who the city of jewel just drove off for a second time. Ok what I am looking for help with is any suggestions on how I could play these characters as being as aloof as possible from the real world since my character has seen from the unbodied just how great leaving your body can be. I also need suggestions as to why they would be with a group of adventurers other then just as meat shields, esspecially since the shaper can construct astral constructs at will. Edit: I forgot to mention that my character is also immune to poison so he plans on using that as his primary weapon.
