Rashem Showan's page

His strategy is to deal damage from afar while being comfortable with fighting up close if needed. He will also be decent at gathering information, moving around and as an alternative face.

Rashem has been living in Wait for as long as he remembers, but there isn't much of a place he would call home. His parents were never rich, but provided him with enough utilities to live comfortably.

When he was a child, he and his friends would travel to the Necropolis on a series of dares and adventures. The land was indeed dangerous (and a few of his friends didn't survive), but that experience came in handy when he became a guide for foreign explorers.

His experience with them has been mixed. While some have been enjoyable to meet, others either met him with disdain or would rather raid the area with no regard to those who lived there.

It was one harrowing experience that allowed him to gain his powers. A routine trip with Cheliaxian explorers became a battle for survival as he was held hostage in order to raze an ancient burial tomb. He would have been disposed of if not for someone triggering a trap that summoned zombies after them. The party was slaughtered, but it was that moment of panic that he first manifested his fire powers. With this newfound skill and intricate knowledge of the area, he escaped, exhausted yet alive.

Rather than scare him out of exploring, he decided to do some personal exploration of his own, finding new tombs and sending the information to researchers in the city.

An easy-going man, he strives to find a party that would allow him to explore areas of the Necropolis that would be too dangerous for him to explore himself.

At 5'10, he is about average in height. He keeps his hair curvy yet short, but takes a particular amount of pride in his fairly long beard. Otherwise he wears clothes typcial of a citizen of Wait albeit in clothes capable of tumbling through ancient temples.

Rashem is rather laid back and seeks to enjoy life. Slow to anger yet easy to laugh, he is sure to make quick friends with most parties. The only thing that annoys him is anyone who would badly desecrate obviously sacred tombs. While he isn't religious, he is fond of the ancient gods who once ruled the area.
