SPECIAL ABILITIES
--------------------
Spell Combat (Ex): At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.

Arcane Pool (Su): At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells. 4/4 Arcane Points.

Spell Dance (Su): At 1st level, a spell dancer gains the ability to expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to gain a +10 enhancement bonus to his movement rate and a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks of opportunity provoked by moving through threatened spaces for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the spell dancer gains another +10 enhancement bonus to movement and +2 to AC against attacks of opportunity provoked from movement. At 5th level, once per spell dance as a swift action, the spell dancer may use one of the following on himself as a swift action: blur, fly, or haste. These abilities last for 1 round. At 9th level, the spell dancer may instead take a swift action to use dimension door as a spell-like ability once during a spelldance. At 13th level, the spell dancer may instead choose to take a swift action to gain freedom of movement for 1d4 rounds. This ability replaces the magus’s ability to expend points from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding magic bonuses for 1 minute.

Aerel’s Backstory

Born in 4561 in the elven settlement of Crying Leaf, Aerel Thelon was the child of a mediocre wizard (a diviner) and her husband, a dancer and performer whose natural way with people made him ideal for keeping relations up with local Varisians and Shoanti.

Even at an early age, Aerel demonstrated an interest in and talent for both magic and dance, though his parents allowed him a great deal of liberty in his pursuits of childhood, as is often the case in elven families. Decades went by with only minor disturbances to Aerel’s life - when he was in his 30s, his parents had another child, Kyona, whom Aerel adored immediately.

When it came time for him to begin practicing a trade, Aeren followed in his parents’ footsteps - simultaneously. His father, Ithelien, worked with him for years at a time to master ancient dances, while he studied magic under his mother’s careful eyes, copying spellbooks and practice scrolls. As he did these things, it slowly occurred to Aerel that his two pursuits were more interconnected than most gave them credit for, and he began walking down the path of a spell-dancer.

In 4606 the world shattered, and with the death of the human god Aroden, much of the era of plenty that had surrounded Aerel’s life was shaken. The Age of Lost Omens saw a return of many elves to Golarion, and Crying Leaf was no exception. Among the returnees, an elderly spell-dancer arrived in Crying Leaf, and Aerel’s training began in earnest.

Two decades later, the Thelon family moved from Crying Leaf, going southwards through Riddleport, where they spent a few years trading and living amongst the Chelaxian imports, before continuing to Magnimar, where they lived for another decade. Finally, as Aerel turned eighty (4641), the family moved to Korvosa, where they would stay for the foreseeable future.

It was in 4691 that Aerel first met Khara the Clever, a half-elven bard whose passion for dance and magic rivaled his own. The young elf quickly fell in love, and his parents, though initially horrified at the thought, were slowly impressed by the young woman’s talents. Thus, when his parents and sister left Korvosa in 4703, Aerel stayed, though he continued writing letters to his family.

Aerel and Khara moved in together, and within a few years of his family’s exit, the two were married. Their marriage was utterly delightful, and Aerel was content spending time with his wife and researching into magic. Khara, however, was possessed of a deep sense of justice, and often worked with the Guard to ferret out illegal activities.

Then, in 4710, Khara went missing, and Aerel began searching for her, with mounting desperation until he received a report of her death. The loss of his newlywed wife (from an elven perspective) destroyed Aeren almost entirely, and he began seeking her murderer with a cold, angry passion. Eventually, it came to light (for Aerel) that his wife had been killed by Gaedren Lamm, an infamous crime lord… but the proof was not enough, and he could not turn to the Guard for aid. Taking matters into his own hands, he pursued leads, but never could find the human bastard... Months went by, and the year turned, yet still he found nothing. But an elf is nothing if not patient - the only time limit is Gaedren's own incipient mortality.

Nicholas was orphaned at a young age; though he was most likely kidnapped or traded away. His 'guardian', otherwise known as Gaedren Lamm, simple told him that his real parents died and left him in the man's care. Looking back, he is sure that the man was lying, but not sure at all about finding out how. Well, aside from poking the information out of Gaedren with his rapier.

Nicholas was raised along with several other orphans of various ages to act on Gaedren's orders, which mostly consisted of theft, muggings, and sneaking about. During a mugging gone wrong, Nicholas managed to pick up a rapier that their target had dropped. While focusing on slicing up orphans left and right with previously hidden daggers, their target didn't notice the blade until it was poking out from his chest.

Seeing potential, Gaedren 'promoted' Nicholas as a personal bodyguard, and had the boy trained to use his new found weapon. Along with this position, Nicholas was given actual nourishment and a clean place to sleep; Nicholas believed these small luxuries to be a gift from the gods themselves and strove to perform his duties to the best of his abilities. He soon rose to being the right hand man for Gaedren.

He didn't get much experience at this higher position, however, as a raid soon happened upon Gaedren's current headquarters. With the guard bearing down on this, Gaedren and Nicholas fled out the secret escape in back. When they came out, they found the spot guarded. Gaedren shoved Nicholas right into the two guards and rushed past, ignoring Nicholas' screams for help.

Nicholas spent days in a prison cell, in which he festered bitterness at having the man who had given him meaning betray him. The captain decided to have a chat with the young man, believing the lad to just be misguided. While Nicholas did not like the sympathy being shown to him, the captain finally came to the conclusion that Nicholas was just an orphan used by Gaedren like all the others. After taking an oath from Nicholas that he would not commit crimes inside Korvosa, the captain let the boy go with his meager belongings.

On the streets once more without a home, Nicholas found himself working in a tavern to earn a living. His time working for Gaedren had exposed him to other languages, and the many customers of the popular tavern called the 'Crimson Dragon' helped him to gain a basic understanding of them. His main purpose in a tavern, though, was to find rumors about Gaedren. A year went by without any word.

Then, rumor spread of Gaedren attempting to gain power again a district over. His old anger coming to the surface, Nicholas prepared his equipment, took what coins he had saved up, and took after the rumor with a vengeance. After all this time, Nicholas' sword would be wet with blood once more.

Nicholas wears the regular rags of the poor common people of Korvosa. Saving solely toward his goal of dispatching Gaedren, he has mised every coin and has not spent the least bit on his tattered clothes. The tavern keeper's wife has taken pity on him, though, and at least patched up the holes for him without her husband knowing. His leather vestment, however, is in much better condition, as he knows having well-kept armor is necessary to fight.

Nicholas is rather young at only 17, but his lack of care and hard lifestyle gives him both the look and maturity of a man in his mid-twenties. When his has his equipment with him, he openly shows his sword and shield, not afraid of attracting attention anymore. He has short-cropped black hair and roughly-trimmed facial hair.

Nicholas was greatly influenced by his lack of family and community. Struggling to follow the ganster Gaedren, many of the gathered orphans died during mishaps. Nicholas is used to others dying, and has even killed after becoming Gaedren's bodyguard. The constant lies and deception Gaedren used have given Nicholas a deep suspicion when concerning intrigue and politics.

Nicholas is focused when it comes to following his goals, and doesn't worry if his actions cross the law or not. He was raised with the motto 'Look out for yourself first'. The reality of it hit when Gaedren threw him away. After that betrayed, he doubts he can trust fully again; then again, Nicholas could not honestly say he 'fully' trusted Gaedren either.

While Nicholas doesn't mind helping out others, he doesn't go out of his way often, and has been taught that mercy gets one killed. However, he does not kill out of spite, with the exception of Gaedren, of course; in fact, he does not plan to have to kill again after he gets his hands on his old master. The only goal he sees past Gaedren is trying to somehow find a normalized life. But first, he has to find out what 'normalized' is.

------------------------------

Marvel was born on the 21st of Abadius 4680. His father, Gendrake Manyshot, is a relatively successful owner of a bookshop in the Midland district, which he runs together with Marvel’s mother, Andrea Manyshot.

Combined with a modest lifestyle the Manyshot’s earned enough to ensure that all 3 of their children were educated and learned how to defend themselves. The older brother, Plentak Manyshot, eventually became a captain aboard an admittedly small trading ship while Marvel’s younger sister, Anna Manyshot, is a member of the Korvosa Guard, trying to gain entry into the Sable Company.

Marvel went the route of the law. What he lacked in looks, personality and intelligence he tried to make up for in discipline and dogged pursuit of his studies. During the first year of his studies Marvel rarely participated in social gatherings. While not directly shunned by his peers Marvel wasn’t welcomed with open arms either, and as such he was an easy convert to the faith of Abadar. Abadar’s faith was a near perfect match to Marvel’s view on hard work, order and justice but initially the main attraction was that embracing the faith gave Marvel a place to fit in and opened doors in regards to patrons and future opportunities.

It was at a religious gathering that Marvel met Kendra Fleetfot, his future wife. Kendra wasn’t much better looking than Marvel, but she always had a smile on her lips, and people liked her. She spoke naturally, listened pleasantly and was quick to laughter. Somehow these traits in Kendra brought forth the best traits in Marvel and he could laugh, smile and talk naturally. He was instantly in love and Kendra loved him as well.

In 4702 Kendra and Marvel married each other and one year later their son, Gendrake Manyshot, was born with their daughter, Alana, following early in 4705.

Family life was bliss for Marvel. Outside their small home in Leroung Street people still generally disliked him, but at home life was joyous. He played with the children, laughed with his wife and took up archery at one of the fighting schools.

Without his family, Marvel would probably have left Korvosa. He became a lawyer to protect law, order and justice, but what he saw in Korvosa’s courts and bureaucracy quickly dented his idealism. The letter of the law was more important than the spirit, and the legal system was so bloated that people with money almost always could buy their way out of trouble with the correct legal expertise, while the common people were lost. Marvel tried to help those less well off, but he also had to help clients who could pay him, and he just wasn’t a good enough lawyer to stand a chance against those lawyers who both knew every corner of every law, and how to perform in court. As such Marvel mainly ended up with clients requiring help with forms, applications, processes and so forth, and the people he tried to help in court, often blamed him for their loss.

One exception to Marvel’s failure to help those less well off, was when he worked together with Khara the Clever on a complicated case involving Varisians being wrongly evicted from their houses. Khara, Marvel and members of the Korvosa Guard worked on the case for nearly 6 months and eventually the Varisians regained their homes.

A few days before Marvel’s daughter disappeared Khara contacted Marvel regarding a case she was looking into which was connected to a Gaedren Lamm, but in the ensuing chaos which engulfed Marvel’s life he never got back to Khara.

Alana disappeared a few months after she turned four. Gendrake and Alana had been arguing throughout the day and eventually Marvel had enough of it, joined the fray and the three of them were yelling at each other until Kendra came home and sent them all to their respective rooms – including Marvel. Marvel never saw Alana. She ran away from home and didn’t come back. Marvel, Kendra and Gendrake searched for weeks but found no clue of her. Eventually Kendra began speaking of accepting that Alana was going, telling Marvel that they had a son who needed them, but Marvel didn’t listen. He blame himself for Alana’s disappearance.

Marvel worked to sustain himself and his family. The remaining time he searched for Alana, only stopping when he absolutely had to sleep or needed a bath so as not to scare off clients. Half a year later Kendra and Gendrake moved in with Kendra’s parents. Marvel considered stopping his search – he considered repairing what remained of his family, but it was then he heard the name Gaedren Lamm, and ever since Marvel has been obsessed. He took up practicing with his arrow again and bought a chainmail. Marvel told himself he would find Lamm and he would force him to tell him where his daughter was, even if that meant, that Marvel would have to take the law into his own hands.

Marvel Manyshot is not the most likeable person you'll encounter. If someone is in need of help he is likely to offer help. However, there is something off about him resulting in said offer often being politely declined.

When Marvel speaks to most people he doesn't look them in the eyes. Rather he addresses some point just beyond their left shoulder and tends to have quite a few pauses when speaking.

On the other hand, when it is a subject Marvel deeply cares about he is extremely intense, staring into his subjects eyes without blinking, and being visibly upset if someone continually disagrees with him or refutes his arguments. As a result of this most people tend to avoid conversations with Marvel.

By nature Marvel enjoys socializing and he enjoys people. But Marvel is aware that people as a rule don't enjoy his company, which has resulted in Marvel often avoiding social situations. Those few friends Marvel has he treasures above all (except for his daughter), and it is only when alone with these friends that Marvel relaxes enough to be less off-putting.

Marvel believes deeply in a lawful, ordered and civilized society and is a devout follower of Abadar. However due to the injustices, needless and unfair bureaucratic practices and his own personal tragedies Marvel has lost faith in Korvosa's political and legal systems, questions his own beliefs and is on the point where he either experiences one final injustice, causing him to lose his faith, or someone or something persuades him to take justice, law and order into his own hands, so as to create a society more akin to his understanding of Abadar's teachings.

Marvel has a quite common look to him. Grey eyes, brown hair and an average build both regarding height and width. His face is gaunt as though he has eaten and slept too little, and it is rare for a smile to cross his face.

Marvel dressess in quality clothes but nothing fancy, favoring functionality rather than looks. His favorite colors tend to be dark grey, dark green and black.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Fleet of Foot: Some halflings are quicker than their kin but less cautious. Halflings with this racial trait move at normal speed and have a base speed of 30 feet. This racial trait replaces slow speed and sure-footed.
Low Blow: Some halflings train extensively in the art of attacking larger creatures. Halflings with this racial trait gain a +1 bonus on critical confirmation rolls against opponents larger than themselves. This racial trait replaces keen senses.
Underfoot: Halflings must train hard to effectively fight bigger opponents. Halflings with this racial trait gain a +1 dodge bonus to AC against foes larger than themselves and a +1 bonus on Reflex saving throws to avoid trample attacks. This racial trait replaces halfling luck.
Finesse Training (Ex): At 1st level, a rogue gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. In addition, starting at 3rd level, she can select any one type of weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse (such as rapiers or daggers). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. Whenever she makes a successful melee attack with the selected weapon, she adds her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to the damage roll. If any effect would prevent the rogue from adding her Strength modifier to the damage roll, she does not add her Dexterity modifier. The rogue can select a second weapon at 11th level and a third at 19th level.
Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.
Roof Running (Ex): At 1st level, a roof runner becomes entirely adept at moving across the tops of buildings, spires, and similar locations. Provided she is wearing light armor or no armor, the roof runner can move at full speed while traveling across the tops of buildings or similar structures, and takes no penalties on any Dexterity-based Skill checks or Reflex saves that might be incurred from moving about on a roof. This ability replaces trapfinding.
