Rak has always been a danger to everyone around him.
His birth was long and painful, and the midwife did not know what to make of the oddly quiet, hairless sand-colored thing that finally arrived. She dropped him when she cut her finger as she held its tiny hand, but it did not even seem to faze the stony child. His mother survived only with the aid of healing magic and refused to even hold him…
As he grew, there were a few incidents where he unintentionally cut other children with his bare hands without realizing he had done anything. His parents decided the best (and safest) thing to do would be to send the child away someplace where he would not be a danger to anyone else. After searching numerous places which all refused to have anything to do with the aberration, they found a distant temple of Irori near the town of Torch that was willing to teach him how to avoid harming those around him.
As the years passed slowly by, he took to the lessons with a calm stoicism that pleased his teachers. It surprised them that he did almost as well with his educational studies as he did with his combat training. He grew slowly, and watched a generation of monks age and pass on as he continued his simple way of life. When he received word that his parents had died, he accepted it with only a nod. . He also discovered an affinity for working with stone and metal. His rough hands, so harmful to frail flesh, seemed to be able to mold and shape more solid materials with ease.
He still had the occasional accident, though, and even though his sparring partners were quickly healed, the newest generation of monks seemed to be less willing to accept his condition than the previous. While remaining polite, they said that he had learned everything he could within their walls and urged him to go out into the wider world.
As with almost everything else in his life, he nodded in acceptance and left. Upon reaching the nearest major city, he plied his craft as a smith for a while until he heard about the Pathfinder Society and it's explorations into strange territories and unknown technologies. Curious, he signed up and is hoping they send him somewhere near Numeria...
