TRAITS

Desperate Resolve (Magic)
You are adept at casting spells even in the most precarious situations. You gain a +1 trait bonus on concentration checks. This trait bonus increases to +4 when you are grappled, pinned, in violent weather, or entangled.

Extremely Fashionable (Equipment)
You really know how to make a good impression when you’re dressed well. Whenever you are wearing clothing and/or jewelry worth at least 150 gp (and not otherwise covered in gore, sewage, or other things that mar your overall look), you gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate checks. One of these skills (your choice) is a class skill for you.

Soaring Sprinter (Combat)
As a youth, you often leaped and ran at treacherous heights, either because it was the only place with enough freedom for you to play or because it was not a good idea to play any lower. You gain a +2 trait bonus on Acrobatics checks to keep your balance or jump, and Acrobatics becomes a class skill for you.

As his 'surname' (which was really just a descriptive name given to him by his parents) might imply, Dhavyn was born in a storm. Not just any storm, but a particularly nasty storm, a hurricane that branched off from the Eye of Abednego and hit the ship his father (Radid) and pregnant mother (Iryani) were on. They shouldn't have been on the ship, they should have been somewhere safe and dry and comfortable for Iryani to give birth. But they on the run because Radid had 'kidnapped' Iryani - technically they had run away together because they loved each other, it was just very unlikely that the slave master was going to see that or care much. Desperation, love, luck and storms were his birthrights apparently, but it could have been much worse.

The ship they were on almost went down or tipped over a couple of times but finally made it to shore, though Dhavyn had already been born. His father and mother changed their names and tried to keep a low profile. His mother found work at a tavern while his father, ever the role model, became a gambler and drunk. When deep in his cups, Radid would tell Dhavyn 'war stories' of his time as a pirate - tales of blood, treasure, women, ships, storms and more! All things that made his mother frown, but that utterly enthralled the impressionable boy.

As he grew, he had an imaginary friend named Jorhal. Like his father, Jorhal also regaled Dhavyn with stories about pirates, pirates that were his ancestors, some even on the Plane of Water! The two of them would re-enact the daring tales on rooftops and on cliffs, climbing and jumping and swinging amid yelling and peals of laughter. Occasionally, Jorval would bring other friends to talk with Dhavyn and tell stories as well, all ancestors.

It was only later that Dhavyn found out that talking with ancestors wasn't normal when he let it slip to his mother. She had him looked at by a healer to see if something was wrong with him, but there was nothing physically wrong. When Dhavyn learned how to start casting spells as well, it became clear what he was and his mother accepted it.

His ancestors talked with him often, and often distracted him from the real world, which caused him some trouble sometimes. Most of them agreed on little, except on piracy and greed. Being well-dressed and making an impression was something else most of them agreed on, though they disagreed on what constituted being well-dressed or what kind of an impression to make. So Dhavyn learned to take their opinions with a grain of salt sometimes.

Dhavyn has practiced with his powers and with his weapons training, and now seeks to make a name for himself.
