Sorahn

Haha haven't posted a profile in quite a while (I got level 3, what, a year ago? lol). Anyway, here's a google copy of my level 3 profile (the backup I had saved on my computer got corrupted or something). I updated the age, height, and weight, but everything else is a carbon copy.
EDIT: Apparently white doesn't show up as well on this new board as it did on the old one. I'm gonna try gray.
By the way, I think I had about 4000gp. I don't remember an exact figure.
((Blue = Level 1, Red = Level 2, Green = Level 2.5, White = Level 3))
Name: Sorahn un' Rohnahmeh
Age: 21 (time elapsed)
Race: Ranoan (similar to an anthro cat)
From: Tehlshan, Ranoa
Gender: male
Height: 5'10" (grew a little)
Weight: about 150 lbs. (gained muscle)
Hair color: reddish-brown
Eye color: dark blue
Clothes: He wears a long, dark red robe that looks about like a trench coat but made out of softer material. He leaves it open in the front and it comes down about 6“ off the floor. It has very long, baggy sleeves that cover his hands when they are down. Underneath is a gray shirt and dark blue, very baggy pants. Overall his clothes are very plain but are very loose and flowing. He also wears a collar with a tag that acts as a tracking device, and has his and his master's name engraved. Considering his social class and his history, his clothes are remarkably clean and not tattered. He doesn't wear shoes. His race has no need for them, and they all find the suggestion silly. After Garen was killed, Sorahn ripped the collar off and threw it at Garen's decapitated head. During a recent encounter with Koran, Sorahn gave him his gray shirt. Since his robe hangs open, this shows off a little bit of his chest.
Look: White fur with a long slender tail. Ears are long and swept back. Hair is just past shoulder length. He has a couple of markings on his body that are the furry equivalent of a tattoo. The markings are written in the Ranoan characters, which are very different from our writing. Aside from these markings, which appear on his right upper arm, and on his upper left chest, there are marks that appear more natural. These consist of stripe marks on his ears, and tail. He does have claws of a sort, but they are short and he doesn't consider them very good weapons compared to his pole. He would use them in conjunction with kicks if his weapon ever got stolen or broken or dropped or something. He got another tattoo-ish marking under his left eye according to a Ranoan ritual. He also got a solid black earring in his left ear, representing his first true kill. His hair has finally grown long enough (just past shoulder length) for him to put small braids in the first locks closest to his eyes. They are held by various beads on the ends. Unlike most Ranoan dress, this is purely for looks and isn't symbolic.
History: He was captured from planet Ranoa, where he was learning the ways of his culture as he has been since he was a child. This included the Ranoan flowing martial arts style and would have eventually included the art of magic. This changed when one night, when he was 18, he was ambushed by a group of thugs that traveled from planet to planet, stealing things to sell on the black market. They happened to be nearby and, upon seeing him, figured he would bring a good price as a slave. Caught off guard, he didn't get to fight back and was quickly overpowered by the 4, much stronger men. They proceeded to bind his hands and feet and loaded him onto their ship. It was not a very pleasant ride. He was taken to the thugs' home world and was sold to another person that often did business with them. This person took Sorahn to Althanas where he disguised himself as a friendly merchant and sold Sorahn to a man named Garen. Garen was a wealthy man who needed a slave to wait on him. He is also a control freak and takes pleasure in telling Sorahn what to do. He often makes Sorahn battle others both as entertainment and to show off his slave's skills. Garen has no real balls of his own so he also uses Sorahn as a semi-body guard and dirty worker. Somehow, Garen found out a little about Sorahn's culture and proceeded with a Ranoan ritual that formally declared him as Sorahn's master, forcing Sorahn to obey him faithfully. Sorahn is desperately seeking a way to return to Ranoa. But, not having any mode of transportation, and being committed to his new master, he is forced to just wait things out on this strange planet until the opportunity arises to leave.
Soon after arriving, Sorahn met a man named Zephan, who offered to kill Garen for him. While this plot never came to be, it gave Sorahn the idea. Garen made Sorahn fight in a battle against Koran to see his skills and maybe improve them. Sorahn ended up getting impaled on a sharpened copy of his own pole. The monks revived him, but the memory of death still haunts him. To redeem himself, he was sent on a mission under command of Ziegfried to capture an outpost in an effort to defeat a man threatening the world. After assuming command of his group, the mission was completed successfully.
Sorahn still had the idea of assassination in his head. He snuck out of Garen's mansion at night to battle in order to get more money to hire an assassin with. By sheer coincidence, he fought against Koran again. After a very climatic battle, they were both taken back to Garen's mansion, where Garen was eventually killed by Koran, finally setting Sorahn free.
Sorahn was enjoying his newfound freedom. He decided to enter a tournament. He didn't expect to go far, but he actually made it to the quarterfinals. Things really changed when he joined an attack on the bazaar as a mercenary. He single handedly engaged the leader of the opponents, Max Dirks, which probably wasn't the smartest idea. He ended up getting shot in the back by Dirks, who then proceeded to bandage the wound and bind Sorahn to a nearby tree. Needless to say, Sorahn does not like the man very much, but this ordeal gained him membership into the Red Hand.
He took up the trade of alchemy and began learning how to make potions from a dwarf named Rask. However, one day while at the bazaar, he recognized the ship of the slave traders that brought him to Althanas. After slaying a few out of rage, they brought a Ranoan girl off the ship. Sorahn was outraged by the way they treated her, and his fury manifested itself as a large explosion of magic, causing the death of the remaining crew members, the destruction of their ship, and damage to the surrounding area. He took the girl, named Rehnahlia, back to his home at the Red Hand's headquarters, where she is living with him.
Sorahn used his alchemy prowess to make a paralysis potion that is now loaded into his spear. He also made a growth hormone for the Red Hand. He is steadilly growing closer to Rehnahlia, and believes he is falling in love with her.
He got into another battle with Koran. After battling fiercely in a large room for a while, Koran used his shapeshifting ability to transform himself into Sorahn's former master, Garen, and began taunting Sorahn. This was a little bit too much for him to take, and he finally snapped and went insane. Finally after letting his rage consume him again, and literally going crazy, he summed up all of his energy and threw his spear through Koran's chest and out the other side. After this he instantly snapped back to a normal state of mind, and was actually rather upset with the fact that he had killed his own best friend. As according to Ranoan ritual, he got the mark of a true warrior placed under his left eye, and the first solid black earring put into his left ear, symbolizing his killing of Koran.
A mysterious force called Sorahn to the middle of Salvar, where he met up with Zieg ag' Tulfried. Zieg used his fire abilities to burn through a frozen lake to a cave underneath. There they found the shrine of a mysterious evil power known as Chaos. After some battle with one of Chaos's followers named Ralean, the mysterious force summoned a dragon. This dragon came straight for Sorahn, for he was wounded and the dragon could smell his blood. Sorahn was immobile and defenseless, and the dragon struck him with a killing blow. That instant, Chaos's opposing force, Structure, indwelt both Sorahn and the dragon, causing Sorahn to be prevented from dying, and the dragon to be mutated. Sorahn soon discovered that Structure was the one who had called him and had planned all of this. A battle ensued between Chaos and Structure using Sorahn, Zieg, Ralean, and the dragon. After a very large explosion, the battle was ended, and Structure left both of them.
Sorahn discovered that because of the way they were indwelt, he now shared a very strong bond with the dragon. They can share thoughts and know where the other is at all times. He named his new companion Nyvahriseth, a proper Ranoan name, but calls him Nyris for short. He also went out and bought some leather equipment for Nyris, including a harness, which is more for his stability than for steering, since he can communicate telepathically with him. ((A thread for this will be made soon)) But he can tell that he and his new companion will become very close.
Personality: He's usually serious, probably because of his situation. He is very, very rooted in his culture, with traditions and such. Because of this culture's teachings, he is a very loyal slave. He does whatever his master tells him. He avoids conflict and fighting whenever possible. Sorahn is starting to lighten up a little bit due to his newfound freedom. Fighting has become part of his lifestyle now and he doesn't really avoid it anymore. He is now hoping to gain more skill in the art.
Skills: He is very agile, do to his lightness. He is also very fast. But, he isn't very strong and also not very resistant to attacks. He doesn't wear armor because it would slow him down plus he can't afford it. He is VERY good at Ranoan martial arts even though he doesn't like fighting. However, he does fight for self-defense and when his master tells him to. He is also self-teaching himself a weird Ranoan form of a guitar called a Shintah. He has shown small improvements in his technique due to practice, since he doesn't avoid fighting anymore. He hasn't gotten much practice on his Shintah because of a lack of free time. Sorahn continues to further his technique with practice. He is also beginning to pick up skill in the craft of Alchemy, by reading books and learning from Rask. He is constantly gaining skill in Alchemy, now that he has attained the rank of Master Alchemist in the Red Hand. He studies the books the majority of his free time, so he is gaining a great proficiency. His martial arts skills are progressing steadily, since he has plenty of practice. His Alchemy skills are still growing, even though there aren't many as good as him.
Weapon: After the second epic battle with Koran, he found his pole ground down to a small, useless chunk of metal. He used this opportunity to spend some of his money on a more traditional Ranoan weapon. A spear-like weapon with a 6' long staff made of Nihon redwood, and three titanium blades mounted on the end. Two of them are 3“ and the middle one is 6“. They are arranged in a fan like shape on the end. The staff is carved with a series of Ranoan symbols. This new weapon is remarkably light, making it faster than his previous weapon, and now the blades can be used against tougher opponents. Linkage
The 6“ middle blade now has a vein running through it for depositing poisons and potions in the victim's bloodstream as it cuts. It is now named the Shahnsra, and is Sorahn's ceremonial weapon for being the banner of the blood sign in the Red Hand. ((I don't have a link for this, but Ithermoss can verify this for me, if need be.))
Items: A Ranoan spell book he happened to be carrying when he was abducted that he is using to self-teach himself things, and a Shintah (weird Ranoan guitar) that is able to magically shrink to a very small size so he can carry it anywhere. The Shintah's strings are placed slightly farther apart than an Earthen guitar to enable them to be easily picked with Sorahn's “claws“. It produces a much more elegant sound that is closer to a harp than a guitar, yet has a strange tone to it because of it's construction and parts being made out of a special Ranoan metal. (The guitar has no practical use whatsoever.) Sorahn recently bought a book titled “A basic guide to Alchemy“ from a local library. Soon after, Rask gave him the book that he was working on, which doesn't have a title. Sorahn uses these to learn Alchemy.
Magic: His race is pretty magically inclined. However, he has not learned any real skill in the art yet. This will change with levels. For now, due to sheer magical talent, he can make light glow. It's usually in the form of a small ball so he can see, but he can also shape it. It is purely for looks and to see in the dark. He can't do anything that physically affects his surroundings, let alone cause damage. Like I said, he will learn. After some practice, Sorahn can now remove light as well as create it. This works the same way as his previous quirk of creating light, only instead it darkens. The small ball in his hand would be black. Sorahn has practiced this ability and also furthered his magic skills, making this ability almost effortless now.
After some reading of his spell book, Sorahn has learned to send a fairly hard-hitting shockwave from his hand. However, it may take a couple of tries to get it right. For now, he has to be within 12 feet of his target and it hits with about three times as much force as a normal pole blow.
Sorahn has gained the ability to move at an incredible speed. This magic-powered ability makes him move faster than the eye can see, but only lasts for one attack. It comes in handy for quick attacks or dodging fast attacks (if he knows it's coming, obviously).
He has learned how to focus all of his energy into one powerful attack after charging (one post of concentration, no movement). He can use this energy to either create an explosion, a shockwave, or a powerful blade strike. The force can vary with his anger and energy at the moment. He has actually been able to perform this ability for some time now (the explosion when fighting the slave traders, hurling his spear through Koran's chest) but it only happened when he had an intense anger to the point of insanity. Because of his past, Sorahn can be driven temporarily insane when dealing with his former slavery. This anger driven madness causes him to amass an obscene amount of energy, which manifests into a powerful attack. But only just recently has he been able to control it without being insane. Obviously, since he doesn't have the same kind of energy, the attacks will be much weaker, unless he is driven insane again.
