I present Sol'Quan, shaman of the Shoanti. He's a sort of mellow, spiritualistic type, but he's still Shoanti - he'll fight like a cornered animal if he has to.
His background in short:
Born to a one of the eldest shaman, Sol'Quan was destined to become a shaman before he could even speak. He showed great prowess with the spirits of nature, but when a spirit finally chose him, it was unlike any the tribe had ever seen.
With a somewhat confusing future told by the spirits, Sol'Quan continued an uneventful life until a dying stranger was found in the middle of the Storval Plateau's wastelands. Unable to understand most of what the man had told him, all Sol'Quan knew was that the key given to him had a special import beyond the knowledge of even the spirits.
With the blessings of his father, Sol'Quan began a journey that few Shoanti ever did - to venture beyond their native lands in search of destiny.
As for me: I've played a few PbP games, and have DM'd one or two myself. None of them have run to completion, although two of them are still alive and kicking. I can usually post at least once a day, if not more. However, I am on the opposite side of the world - I currently live in Korea.
