Known Languages
Appearance:
Appearance: Klaus is strange looking for an Ulfen, with a dark complexion, average size and dark hair. He also has a large birth mark covering the left side of his face and his left eye is a matching brown color. To those examining the mark, and knowledgeable in such things, the angry red edges leading from just above his brow to circle the mass around the side of his face look almost exactly like a falling, burning star.... or the holy symbol of Dahak, Sorrowmaker and patron to all evil dragons! His right eye is a light, sky blue. Usually he keeps a hood over his head to hide his strange appearance and when approached he usually looks away, answering any questions with minimal phrases.

She can “lose” a prepared spell in order to cast any domain spell of the same level or lower. Nature Bond (Ex): A storm druid may not choose an animal companion. A storm druid must choose the Air or Weather domain, or the Cloud, Storm, or Wind subdomain. Nature Sense (Ex): A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks. Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

Character History:
So what do you say when people want to know you, and you don't really know yourself? I was the bastard son of.... No, that's not right. I wasn't a bastard, not at birth. My parents were happily married, until I was born. They were Jolath and Kryssall Stennes. Jolath was a good Ulfen man, a hunter and a very good one. He was large and strong as all good men should be. Kryssall, well she was a war trophy wife. But she was equal in their relationship as she had power from her goddess Shelyn that she could call on. Besides, she had the beauty of her goddess wrapped in a size of a human wife. I wonder sometimes where she actually came from. Was there Fey influence in her history? Anyway, twenty three years ago I was born to Jolath and Kryssall Stennes. Unlike a good Ulfen male I have dark hair, dark skin, and one brown eye. I also have a hideous birthmark covering most of the left side of my face, starting small above my eye and expanding down to cover most of my lower face. It had a red outline making it look almost like and angry scar. Jolath wanted to throw me to the wolves. I'm told that his fury knew no bounds when Kryssall defied him and clung to me. He stormed out of our home, and out of the village snarling like a wild thing. He took no supplies but the knife on his belt and was gone for several months. Kryssal tried to explain to the people of the village, but after one look at me she was shunned. When Jolath returned, months later, he again demanded that I be sacrificed to the gods of the north.... or that Kryssal leave his home with me. She gathered her things and me, and left him. She didn't go far. She knew of a cave almost within sight of the village. It was a hard life and there were several times that she had to leave me alone to hunt. I learned pretty quick how to defend myself from the rodents and things that lived in the cave with us. As I grew I learned to kill the smaller ones. She tried to teach me of her faith, but how does one believe and trust in a goddess of beauty when one looks like I do? But since my upbringing came from a woman of faith I guess it is no surprise that I learned my own path as one of faith. Fortunately when I got my calling my mother was willing to accept that it wasn't to her god, and she knew enough about other deities that she could teach me about mine. While Mother was teaching me of my patron she also explained why my birthmark was significant. As I had grown the mark had become more clear and the red on the edges had expanded a bit making spike-like marks away from the edges on the lower area. No hair grew from the mark making it very easy to see. Mother explained that the mark looked exactly like the holy symbol of Dahak, Sorrowmaker and patron to all evil dragons. Since it had presented on my birth, and had only gotten stronger since, any of the superstitious villagers that recognized it would definitely see it as an evil portent. Even those that didn't recognize it (most of them) would likely see it as something evil that was attached to me. With the mark I would never be welcomed into a village like our home! About a year ago Jolath died. Some of the men of the village, the more honorable ones, approached Kryssall and suggested that she return to the village to live in his home again. I think they remembered her beauty as well as her value as a healer of Shelyn. I was accepted, grudgingly, because I was now a man and could contribute, even though I was no proper Ulfen man. I know I'll never be accepted by the men of the village, but it's time to see where my path will lead me.
