okay cool well ill use that to help bulid a character. Absolutely love forgotten realms one of my favorite settings for D&D
awesome!
Silvack could smell his prey, the creature had been alluding him for days but he was finally closing in. The creature had a unique physiology which allowed it to blend with its surroundings by bending the light around its scales. The creature was hexapedal and highly venomous, a single scratch could induce paralysis and a bite from it would cause its victim to go into cardiac arrest due to a loss of cohesion in the central nervous system, the second effect was that it liquefied the internal organs of its prey. Silvack slowed from his run to a slow trot checking the bio scanner on his Tetryon rifle. It was close, suddenly a rustle in the bushes to his right made him turn. How was this possible? The creature should have been in front but now it had circled around behind him? Without warning something sunk claws into the weak spot between his helmet and the armor where it was only mesh. Salvick tumbled backward as poison coursed through his system, his immune system fought back but it was not enough. He couldn't move the beast closed on him and in a snarl it snapped it's jaws closed on his throat. Wait? That wasn't how it had happened. He had ran the creature to ground and killed it with his sword.
Silvack jerked from the straw bed with a growl jerking to look left and right taking in the room Schal and an older humanoid from it's scent. Unconsciously he rubbed at his throat. "Alpha, What happened? Where are we?" Silvack slid his legs out of the bed sitting up and rolling his right shoulder to test for injuries.

Character
Name: Garick Darksand
Age: 29
Appearance:
Heavier build, a darker skin tone with brown eyes and longer hair.
Personality: Garick grew up hiding his abilities with magic and is consequently highly distrustful of others even those who have proven to be trustful repeatedly. This however does not prevent him from being amiable to others and having a propensity for deadpan humor and dry sarcasm. Due to his need to protect his abilities from discovery Garick has trouble forming lasting relationship as in his mind he needs to be able to leave at a moments notice should people become aware of his ability and turn him over to the Legion. Garick believes in being practical and not taking unnecessary risks however this does not mean he won’t take risks when he believes them necessary and profitable.
Inventory: A small number of coins, Twin Scimitars, Falchion, backpack, bedroll, shoulder slung bag of sand, belt with numerous pouches for magical components.
Garick’s Trinket is a Scorpion clasp for his cloak which he removes during usage of his elemental manipulation although he can use his spells even when not holding the clasp as it remains in contact with him however it gives him a better focus and finesse to actually hold the clasp.
Class: Animagi
Element: Sand/Salt/Ash
Skills:
Double sword and single sword expert with scimitars and his falchion
Proficient Sailor
Proficient Sculptor and Jeweler
Spells:
Garick has the ability to manipulate granulated earth including sand, ash, salt and dust. Garick can also manipulate the crystalline forms of his elements to a lesser degree including glass, obsidian and salt crystal. Garick is also capable of inducing dehydration, desiccation and other exposure related effects by stripping water from his enemies. While Garick is not capable of directly manipulating water he can dispel it evaporate or otherwise remove it from other organisms. With sufficient focus Garick can also dispe larger bodies of standing unattended water.
Garick is capable of solidifying salt, sand and ash into a crystalline form giving himself the ability to form claws or weapons of crystalline salt, glass and obsidian.
Garick’s animal form is a yellow and black carapaced Scorpion the size of a very large dog which secretes a deadly neurotoxin.
(When Garick achieves the elemental form the Scorpion will be composed of obsidian with yellow and red sand flowing beneath its surface, this form is noticeably larger than the normal animal form)
Garick is capable of a very disturbing spell which involves drying out a corpse with salt and coating the bones and skin with salt which then allows Garick to use the corpse as a puppet while highly disturbing his control is at best spotty, however with practice Garick could conceivably control multiple corpses with lethal ability.
Garick also has the theoretical knowledge of a spell which could be used to instill sentience in a golem composed of salt, sand or ash however Garick’s level of skill and confidence is not sufficient to accomplish this yet.
Garick’s link to the power of sand renders him all but immune to the effects of dehydration, heat stroke, desiccation and sun blindness.
Garick can move all but unimpeded on sand, dust or ash.
Allegiance: Neutral
Miscellaneous info: Garick disdains most technologies but he will use them if it will serve his purpose.

Okay awesome, you just made me day lol. Ive wanted to turn this concept into a dungeons and dragons character for a long time but this is better it give me way more freedom.
sounds good to me.
Quick question as I'm working on the skill section of the character sheet. As far as spells go they have to be cast from the animal form correct? And what kind of purview of spells are we talking? something along the lines of a Bender of elements/battle mage or are these suppose to be more along the lines of ritual preparation non combat magic?
This is loosely based on the Forgotten realms setting correct? or is that merely the feel of the world?
Appearance:
Name: Silvack
Age: 86
Gender: Male
personality: Very blunt and honest Silvack focuses on the hunt above all else. For a Hirogen Silvack is considered warm but my most other races his personality is frosty and curt at best. When he is not pursuing the hunt he is know to recount his exploits readily in order to instill knowledge in his comrades. Silvack is not a leader, he is deferential to his superiors but those who have his allegiance he is loyal to a fault to.
Species: Hirogen are a solitary race of hunters. Standing easily between 6’ 6” and 6’ 10”. They are extremely strong and fast with highly resistant immune systems and an advanced nervous system. Hirogen’s also possess incredibly acute senses which aid them in their hunts.
Relation: Silvack is loyal to his pack or the group he is working with and readily differs to the leader of such groups supporting whatever decision the “alpha” makes. He has no familial ties and has to date abstained from romantic and platonic emotional attachments in the normal sense. However he feels compelled to protect his pack mates and to make the death of his prey as painless as possible.
Weapons: Tetryon Rifle, Gauntlet spikes, single edged hanger sword.
Gear: Hirogen Body armor w/ internal life support, Bio scanner, electrobinoculars, combat vital scanner, utility belt.
