[quote=Avery Calhoun] Hansa, that character reminds me of an NPC (at least the quarterstaff part) that Scout and I inserted into our collective back story during a training session once. I remember that it didn't go well for him because this was beginner level training before the ether abilities were a factor and Kass (Scout's char) and Motya are both pretty melee focused. If LJ ends up accepting your character into the fold maybe you, Scout, and I can develop that back story a bit more; something like having the tables turned when the ether training takes place, a sort of payback or something like that. [/quote] That sounds great! This backstory seems like something Nasir would fit right into ;)
