If it makes you feel any better Carny, I'm pretty much clueless about Magic sets released since Kamigawa (2008?) All I know about Tarkir is that it's basically Mongols vs. dragons or something. I could care less about Dragons, so mongols it is!<br/><br/>This (http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/planeswalkers-guide-khans-tarkir-part-2-2014-09-10) article from WotC describes the way of life for the Mardu and Temur, though, so, helpful resource.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Khulan is done</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(https://41.media.tumblr.com/eb3e118dc61f3f47baa3f804545da8a4/tumblr_ntqp6a5aLI1tk4029o1_r1_1280.jpg)</div><div class="floatright">(https://41.media.tumblr.com/ea8327837843b3c734b9ed6cb7f65b17/tumblr_ntqp6a5aLI1tk4029o2_500.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong> Khulan Maa<br/><strong>Race:</strong> Half-Orc<br/><strong>Class:</strong> Shaman (Unsworn Shaman archetype)<br/><strong>Culture:</strong> Temur Frontier<br/><strong>Sheet:</strong> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=406454<br/><strong>Background:</strong> Some children are the product of mutual love and respect. others are spur of the moment things, bumps in the night. and hten there are those who are unwanted, children of war. Khulan hails from the latter. her mother was a hunter in the Temur frontier, part of a little band of orcs and half-orcs making their home in the wilds. her father was some raider or bandit that fell on hte camp, drawn for who-knows-what. They took what they wanted, as they wanted, and sped off laughing all the while. Khulun entered the world some months later. <br/><br/>Her half-human parentage earned her more scorn than how that parentage happened, though; Even Khulan's mother found the half-orc to be unusually weak - at least to the senses of an orc. Khulan had to push twice has hard, fight twice as ferociously, just to earn nearly the same respect. And in all truth, she didn't even manage that all too often. She was too stubborn to simply wander off into the wastes, to assured that she could find her place and wrest prestige in her clan. it was the determination and drive that caught the eye of the clan mystic, Angulk Argat Alkai. Under the old seer's tutelage, she learned the names of the clan's two hundred and fifty-seven Ancestral Warriors. She learned which herbs could heal, and which mushrooms could kill. The rites to perform over a slain mammoth - which were not much different from those put over someone slain by one of the Grandfather Beasts. <br/><br/>But Khulan is not her ancestors. The mystic fire that calls to all shaman burns in her head as surely as any other, but she is... restless. For eighteen years she has been bound to traditions by those who very pointedly assert they are not <em>her</em> traditions. She feels a world full of spirits around her, and she has seen Angulk Argat Akai's pain when the ancestors are displeased with some minor taboo violation. No, that is not Khulan. She will not be cleave to the whim of some otherworldly entity, bound by oath and blood to its service until her last day. No, she will wrest their power, bring them to bear for the benefit of the tribe - whoever the tribe may be.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong> A lifetime of hardship and struggle - against both the land and people of her birth - has left Khulan an aggressive and ambitious person, passionate and driven to make her name. She strongly resists any efforts to tie her down, and does not make oaths or pledges lightly, and never out of sheer generosity. She's somewhat impulsive as well - while very aware of the past, "future" is more of a hazy concept; fate is decided anyway, why worry? Live in the now, take life by the tusks and have your way with it. </div></div><br/>What I'm going with here is sort of a<em>thing</em>that provides support and face-beats; She has a wide selection of hexes (literally all of them, every day... one at a time) spells (mmmm, Spirit Magic) and enough Hit Points / Resists to probably be the "tank" (maybe let's let the Samurai try it first...) The familiar is serving scout / touch spell / hex delivery duties, and<em>yes</em>he is a bunny.<em>Her bunny</em>.<br/><br/>Character goals are pretty straightforward; One of the benefits of Chaotic neutral. Basically she's out to prove her own worth; to herself, to her clan, and to the Clans as a whole. She has a niggling little idea of someday ascending to become Khan. In the meantime; see the world. Listen to the spirits. Build allies and destroy enemies. Oh, the life of a barbaric half-orc who lives in the mountains. Hitching up with another PC seems like a good idea. Maybe Khulan and Peh-Ma are on the Peresk side of the Gundre Vale conflict? Maybe she and cota have been rocking each other's world for a few weeks before (<em>Wrestling</em>, people, SHEESH!). Any capacity to punch the Khologan in the face until it no longer resembles a face is also happily acceptable
