Ozen Helix was born in the nation of Unther. His mother was a maid in a noble house. His father was unknown to him but his Deep black eyes matching the lord of the house led to him and his mother being cast out when he was still a child. His mother got work where and how she could for the next few years. She died a month after his seventeenth birthday from filth fever. Even the slightest aid would have saved her but they had no money and were turned away everywhere. Ozen decided on that day that he would take whatever he wanted from the world be it money or power. For more than four decades he led a gang of half orc and human thieves he cut a swath of blood up and down eastern Unther even working with some small nobles to help them get a leg up on their rivals. Using his strategies and planning along with the terrible powers of his mental magics they raided caravans and noblemen aplenty. When he was 28 his second in command Davor decided that he would prefer to be the leader. He gave Ozen up to one of the houses whose caravans they raided. After weeks of running and hiding he could not escape the guards with his back to the wall he dove off a cliff into the River of Swords. While his body was being dragged deeper into the ocean's darkness a voice spoke to him promising life in exchange of service. Ozen agreed and then woke feeling the sensation that he was changed forever.

His internal energy was bolstered by a mass of power he could just barely feel that was floating off and away from him. These changes confused and worried him greatly but the biggest surprise came when he tried to leave the beach and started to choke on water. Sitting behind him on the beach was a beast made of nightmares seeming to shift in form and nature as each moment passed. It didn't take him long to realize that the beast was at the center of his cage so he went back to have a look at it. Gazing at the monster a heavy understanding filled him. He knew that he had to keep to his word to the force that saved him and he had to serve his new master. Images of strange symbols and massive trees filled his mind and the need to go to west filled him the occasional sibilant hiss from his "ally" spurring him on.

Swashbuckler(Mouser):
Panache:2
Grit, Luck, and Panache
Grit, luck, and panache represent three different means by which heroes can gain access to the same heroic pool, using it to accomplish fantastic feats. For characters with a mix of grit, luck, and panache, they pool the resources together into a combined pool. (Those who use panache and luck gain twice their Charisma bonus in their pool.) For feats, magic items, and other effects, a panache user can spend and gain luck points in place of grit or panache points, and vice versa.
A luck user does not count as a grit or panache user to satisfy feat prerequisites. Swashbuckler levels stack with gunslinger levels for the purpose of satisfying Signature Deed’s level requirement.
More than just a lightly armored warrior, a swashbuckler is a daring combatant. She fights with panache: a fluctuating measure of a swashbuckler’s ability to perform amazing actions in combat. At the start of each day, a swashbuckler gains a number of panache points equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Her panache goes up or down throughout the day, but usually cannot go higher than her Charisma modifier (minimum 1), though feats and magic items can affect this maximum. A swashbuckler spends panache to accomplish deeds (see below), and regains panache in the following ways.
Critical Hit with a Light or One-Handed Piercing Melee Weapon: Each time the swashbuckler confirms a critical hit with a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon, she regains 1 panache point. Confirming a critical hit on a helpless or unaware creature or a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the swashbuckler’s character level doesn’t restore panache.
Killing Blow with a Light or One-Handed Piercing Melee Weapon: When the swashbuckler reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points with a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon attack while in combat, she regains 1 panache point. Destroying an unattended object, reducing a helpless or unaware creature to 0 or fewer hit points, or reducing a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the swashbuckler’s character level to 0 or fewer hit points doesn’t restore any panache.

Deeds:
Underfoot Assault (Ex): At 1st level, if a foe whose size is larger than the mouser’s is adjacent to her and misses her with a melee attack, the mouser can as an immediate action spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet into an area of the attacker’s space. This movement does not count against the mouser’s movement the next round, and it doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. While the mouser is within a foe’s space, she is considered to occupy her square within that foe’s space.
While the mouser is within her foe’s space, the foe takes a –4 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks not made against the mouser, and all of the mouser’s allies that are adjacent to both the foe and the mouser are considered to be flankingthe foe. The mouser is considered to be flanking the foe whose space she is within if she is adjacent to an ally who is also adjacent to the foe. The mouser can move within her foe’s space and leave the foe’s space unhindered and without provoking attacks of opportunity, but if the foe attempts to move to a position where the mouser is no longer in its space, the movement provokes an attack of opportunity from the mouser. This deed replaces opportune parry and riposte.
Derring-Do (Ex): At 1st level, a swashbuckler can spend 1 panache point when she makes an Acrobatics, Climb, Escape Artist, Fly, Ride, or Swim check to roll 1d6 and add the result to the check. She can do this after she makes the check but before the result is revealed. If the result of the d6 roll is a natural 6, she rolls another 1d6 and adds it to the check. She can continue to do this as long as she rolls natural 6s, up to a number of times equal to her Dexterity modifier (minimum 1).
Dodging Panache (Ex): At 1st level, when an opponent attempts a melee attack against the swashbuckler, the swashbuckler can as an immediate action spend 1 panache point to move 5 feet; doing so grants the swashbuckler a dodge bonus to AC equal to her Charisma Modifier (minimum 0) against the triggering attack. This movement doesn’t negate the attack, which is still resolved as if the swashbuckler had not moved from the original square. This movement is not a 5-foot step; it provokes attacks of opportunity from creatures other than the one who triggered this deed. The swashbuckler can only perform this deed while wearing light or no armor, and while carrying no heavier than a light load.

Swashbucklers’ Finesse:
At 1st level, a swashbuckler gains the benefits of the Weapon Finesse feat with light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, and she can use her Charisma score in place of Intelligence as a prerequisite for combat feats. This ability counts as having the Weapon Finesse feat for purposes of meeting feat prerequisites.

Most paladins train for years at a temple to attain a holy status, but rarely, an emissary of the divine appears to one of humble origins and calls her directly to the charge.

These chosen ones may lack experience, but their teamwork with their emissaries allows them to defeat any evil.

Divine Emissary (Ex)

At 1st level, a chosen one gains an emissary familiar, treating her paladin level as her wizard level for the purpose of this ability.

Religious Mentor (Ex)

The familiar’s sworn duty is to help train the chosen one for her future glory. The familiar is treated as having a number of ranks in Knowledge (religion) equal to the chosen one’s paladin level. The chosen one doesn’t gain Knowledge (religion) as a class skill.

Delayed Grace (Su)

A chosen one begins her adventuring career without fully understanding her true potential. The chosen one uses the barbarian, rogue, sorcerer column to calculate her typical starting age. She receives the smite evil ability at 2nd level and the divine grace ability at 4th level. This does not affect the rate at which she gains additional uses per day of smite evil, so she still gains her second use at 4th level, her third at 7th level, and so on.

This ability alters divine grace and smite evil.

Lay on Paws (Su)

At 2nd level, a chosen one’s familiar is able to borrow some of her divine energy to heal itself and others. The familiar can use the chosen one’s lay on hands ability, including all of her mercies, but each such use consumes two uses of the paladin’s lay on hands ability. Starting at 4th level, the familiar can also channel positive energy, but each such use consumes four uses of the paladin’s lay on hands ability.

This ability alters lay on hands and channel positive energy.

True Form (Ex)

At 7th level, a chosen one’s familiar reveals its true form, transforming into an outsider improved familiar that matches the chosen one’s patron’s alignment (typically an arbiter, a cassisian, a harbinger, or a silvanshee, but potentially any lawful neutral, lawful good, or neutral good outsider familiar depending on the patron). The familiar gains the change shape universal monster ability if it doesn’t already have it, which it can use at will to transform into its original form or back to its true form.

Emissary’s Smite (Su)

At 11th level, a chosen one’s familiar also benefits from the paladin’s smite evil ability whenever the chosen one uses smite evil.

To qualify to become a Champion of Corellon Larethian, a character must fulfill all the following criteria:

Race: Elf or half-elf
Alignment: Any nonevil.
Skills: Diplomacy 4 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 2 ranks.
Feats: Proficient with all martial weapons and heavy armor, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mounted Combat.
Base Attack Bonus: +7.
Special: Must worship Corellon Larethian.
Special: In addition to the feats above, you must also take either Weapon Focus (longsword) or Exotic Weapon Proficiency (elven thinblade or elven courtblade).
Class Skills
The champion of Corellon's class skills are Concentration, Craft (any), Diplomacy, Handle Animal, Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (any), Profession, Ride, Sense Motive, and Spellcraft.

Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features
Champions of Corellon continue to improve their combat skills as they advance in level, learning bonus fighter feats and special techniques for making use of heavier armor than that favored by most elves.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

Corellon's Blessing (Su): Upon entering this class, you gain the ability to heal wounds by touch, much like a paladin's lay on hands ability. Each day you can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to your champion level x your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). For example, a 6th-level champion of Corellon with a Charisma score of 14 can heal 12 points of damage per day. You can choose to divide the healing among multiple recipients, and you don't have to do it all at once. Using this ability is a standard action.

You can use any or all of this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures. Using Corellon's blessing in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. You decide how much of your daily allotment of healing to use as damage after successfully touching your undead foe.

If you have levels in paladin, you add your levels of champion of Corellon and paladin together and determine your ability to heal accordingly (although if you have a Charisma score of lower than 12, your paladin levels do not contribute to your ability to heal).

Bonus Feat: At 1st level and every three levels thereafter, you gain a bonus feat. This must be a feat noted as a bonus fighter feat, and the feat must have Combat Expertise, Dodge, or Mounted Combat as a prerequisite.

Elegant Strike (Ex): Upon reaching 2nd level, you become able to place your attacks where they deal greater damage. You apply your Dexterity bonus as a bonus on damage rolls (in addition to any Strength bonus you may have) with any of the following weapons: longsword, rapier, elven thinblade, elven lightblade, elven court sword, or scimitar. Targets immune to sneak attacks or extra damage from critical hits are immune to your elegant strike.

Superior Defense (Ex): At 3rd level, you learn special techniques for making the best use of an elf's natural agility even while wearing restrictive armor. The maximum Dexterity bonus for any medium or heavy armor you wear (including mithral versions) is increased by 1. For example, full plate armor normally has a maximum Dexterity bonus of +1, but the superior defense ability increases this to +2.

At 6th level, you improve the maximum Dexterity bonus of medium or heavy armor by 2 and at 9th level by 3.

Unimpeded Movement (Ex): At 5th level, you no longer reduce your movement when wearing medium or heavy armor. (You still reduce your movement if carrying a medium or heavy load, however.)

If you know the Spring Attack feat, your unimpeded movement ability allows you to use Spring Attack even while wearing heavy armor.

Corellon's Wrath (Su): At 8th level, you gain the ability to briefly channel the divine power of Corellon Larethian, enveloping one melee weapon you wield in a veil of incandescent light as a free action. You gain a +2 sacred bonus on attack rolls and deal an extra 2d6 points of damage with each melee attack you make with the affected weapon for 1 round. While Corellon's wrath is in effect, the weapon is considered magic and good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Cha modifier (minimum once per day).

Ex-Champions Of Corellon
Few champions of Corellon ever turn to evil, but it occasionally happens. If your alignment changes to evil, you are expelled from the order and lose the supernatural abilities derived from this class (Corellon's blessing and Corellon's wrath). However, you are not barred from gaining more levels in this class if you so desire. You can continue to refine the combat techniques you have learned, but you cannot make use of the class's supernatural abilities.

This character would be a hero's hero, a knight's knight, a..you get the idea. Or at least, that's what he thinks he can and should be. Non-judgemental, maybe as paladins go depending on your impressions of paladins, he's convinced others are amazing and he's really just somehow faking it and people are believing him. It remains to be seen whether he really grows into his power, and what a real clash with trying times does to him.

So far, it sounds like the party doesn't start completely with the goal of retaking Myth Drannor. As such, he feels compelled at first just to try and expand the safety of elvendom, and perhaps recover an interesting artifact from the area, before it's lost to time. A rare scroll, a writing, maybe (in his dreams) a relic of a lost age.

Thrain Duroktan is a simple dwarf with a big dream. Born into a house of guards and warriors, Thrain preformed his duty, learning the ways of war in service to hearth and home, but he always longed for more. Despite showing skill with his family's warhammer based fighting style, Thrain felt a powerful connection to the forge. Thrain found a passion in the act of creation and joy in seeing his creations put to use, and it was not long before he found himself in service to the dwarves god of smiths, laboring to provide weapons and armor for his home.
He's currently in town to further hone his craft both in filling orders for people and in searching for lost lore of the magic the ruins used to hold

Nivian thinks of herself as a Bard... the oracle part is just her innate Naiad self and her connection to the Gods of all that is good.

Nivian has been singing of Cormanthyr, the City of Song, her whole life and has kind of idealized it--in her mind it is the utopia where everyone gets along and unenlightened races don't start wars and ruin things.

She's never considered searching for it, but if that kind of thing came up, she would be all over it--she'd say it was to seek our the songs and stories, but it would also be because the whole idea of it is something she wants to see happen again.

She's an explorer, curious about people and things... the whole community of the world and how it all fits together. She does her best to spread the ideas of peace, community, and oneness with nature through her songs, stories, and poems. Adventure too, of course. Heroes and great deeds, but also compassion and doing what's right and good, even in the face of wicked rulers, judges, or laws.

Prim grew up in a small secluded glade high in the mountains, with her family and a small community of other descendants of the fey that fled the woods surrounding Myth Drannor during its fall. When she was young, she learned the stories of how the fiends had come, ravaged their ancestral home and devoured the ancient elven city. As she grew older, she trained diligently to defend her people’s new home in the event their hidden sanctuary was ever found. Finally, on the day she completed her training, she was invited to take part in a sacred ritual with her friend Nara, a dryad who had tended the grove since before her people had come. With her help, Prim grew and shaped the tree branches that would become the weapons and armor she would use to defend her people. When the ritual was complete, the green leaves flattened onto the blades and plates and hardened until the wood was as strong as steel.

From that day forth, Prim was one of a dozen elite warriors tasked with both the protection and improvement of their home. When the occasional wild beast grew violent, her order would track it down and calm it with words and spell. When a storm’s lightning caused a rampant fire, they were there to encourage the new growth. And when a series of attacks on creatures of the forest turned out to be due to the arrival of a vicious ettercap, they were there to slay the creature.

Unfortunately, Prim was not destined to stay in her family’s adopted home. In the end, it was not fiendish invaders or natural corruption that drove them out. Deep within the mountain beneath their home, a foul magic ritual had been taking place for weeks. Finally, just before its completion, the would be villainous wizard made a mistake. Instead of drawing forth vast elemental power and claiming it as his own, his containment wards broke, and the spell spiraled out of control. It is unclear if he managed to teleport himself to safety in time, but the primal energy he had unleashed ripped through the mountain. First came massive earthquakes that drove Prim and the other gathlains into the sky. As the trees whipped about like worms revealed beneath overturned dead wood, there was a tremendous crack and then a spray of glowing red.

The next few minutes were complete chaos. Fire, smoke and rock filled the sky. As she dodged flying debris, Prim’s training kicked in. Her eyes scanned the burning remnants of her forest home. Below her, clinging to a small rock outcropping surrounded by flowing streams of lava, was her friend Nara. She dove. As she got close, her vines stiffened, leaves broadened and she caught the hot, acrid air rising up from the burning stone. With a quick shake of her mistletoe, a surprisingly strong Prim lifted the singed but still beautiful woman and flew her down the mountain.

It wasn’t until they were close to the bottom of the mountain that Prim realized that Nara was pounding on her armor, begging her to go back. Nara. A dryad. The fact that Nara was bonded to the massive tree in the center of the wood hit her even harder than Nara had. Prim set her down and turned back, darting up the mountain, narrowly missing flaming rock cascading from the peak. When she arrived, she saw that her home was a ruined, smoldering caldera. What little trees remained were burning or ruined husks. Somehow, Nara’s tree’s deep roots had managed to cling to a portion of the mountain that had not collapsed following the eruption, the tree itself had taken a direct blast of lava. The charred remains looked as if they would crumble away into ash at any moment. Not sure what she could do, Prim flew towards it, determined to at least try. Flitting before the tree, she reached out a cautious hand and drew upon her deep connection to all living things, hoping to bolster this tree. To her surprise, the tree responded to her raw magical call, and a branch grew, sprouted leaves and finally dropped a single seed into Prim’s outstretched hand.

The next few days were an ordeal. The pair traveled as far as they were able, hoping to find a suitable location for the seed. For much of the journey, Nara could barely walk, and she grew weaker each day. Finally, they found a secluded valley with a small waterfall cascading down the cliffs. Prim set Nara down, planted the seed, then reached deep within herself once more, willing the seed to grow. She must have been successful, though Prim can’t recall how it happened, because when she woke up, Nara was there, cradling her head beneath the spindly boughs of a new tree.

Over the next few days, both Nara and Prim regained their strength, and Prim came to terms with the fact that she had both failed in her duty to protect her home, but succeeded in saving her community’s oldest member. Once she was strong enough, Prim said her goodbyes to Nara, with plenty of promises to return again when her duty was through, then set out to find other survivors and direct them to Nara’s new grove. While she has not yet found any others, she continues to travel both the trackless wilderness and the bustling roads, seeking word of her friends and family while aiding others in need as she is able.

Prim is quick and inquisitive, and is generally intrigued by new cultures. She's fiercely defensive of her friends and those she views as being wronged, and she despises unnatural monstrosities such as undead and aberrations, especially if they threaten the forest.

She looks like this, with do-maru (breastplate), kote (gauntlets) and kabuto (helm), all made of ironwood. Her bow changes with the season, pink flowers in the spring, leaves turn red and yellow in the fall. She keeps her ironwood daisho (katana and wakizashi pair) at her belt, and when drawn the imprint of leaves are visible along the blades. Her vines generally trail behind her, swishing back and forth, except when being used for flight when they expand and stiffen to resemble massive dragonfly wings.
