So I've been trying to think of a way to add an Elan PC into a PF campaign, and I came up with a way, but I'm not sure how it pans out. Advice is welcome.
There's no real knowledge as to how Elans came about, nobody really knows the exact details, or events, except that some are chosen, and changed into Elans through some unknown process. So I thought I'd make it my character's background considering that Pathfinder Campaigns don't have Psionics in their campaigns.
Cut to Hell's Vengeance; The character's family is Chelish Nobility. The father a minor part of the slave trade within the Chelaxian Empire, who sought to utilize mutable methods and turn useless trash into something outstanding. He studied fleshwarping and it's effects on physical, attempting to vary it and manipulate the mind as well. His goal is to provide slaves tailored to the buyer's desires. A fully capable body, and a highly malleable mind, keyed to the owner.
I digress, though, as his attempts to bolster and mould the minds of slaves lead to further study in a discovery of 'magic' without an arcane or divine source.
Imagine, if you will, a bodyguard capable of disarming and crippling an assailant with only a thought, yet completely submissive to the will of the owner.
He ran out of slaves, and because he had several children, tried a refined method with his youngest daughter. The process stripped away every bit of her essence except for the most resilient traces of Azlanti blood. What rose from the experiment was, in all senses a Pure-Blood Azlanti, and yet clearly an aberration.
So the idea is that Elans are an attempt at creating functionally versatile slaves through refined experimentation with fleshwarping, and their origins hold within Cheliax.
What do you guys think?
