Background:
Nedrin was born to a human father and an elven mother. Taking on many characteristics of his father, Nedrin grew to be a tall, and broad-shouldered young man. He had his mother's green eyes though, and the pointed tips of his ears were a gentle reminder of her as well. While his father was ultimately crippled in an orc attack, Nedrin's parents would move their family to the shimmering city of Silverymoon. This was in order to put his mother's arcane talents to use as a professor. It was there she mentored Nedrin in the art of magic. However, she found him to be clumsy and forgetful at first. Knowing she hadn't the time to focus on her son's education whilst providing for the family, she found Nedrin a suitable tutor to continue his lessons. The boy was bright and imaginative, but lacking in patience and retention. So much so that he nearly gave up on learning the arts altogether. It took him several years to finally grasp the basic intricacies of the Weave, but his own stubborn nature carried him on after each failure.
By this time he had grown restless and sick with wanderlust. With the blessing of his friends and family he would set off on a series of minor misadventures. Each one teaching the half-elf that the world was bigger than he'd ever imagined. On one of these misadventures Nedrin found himself in dire trouble when suddenly he was miraculously saved by an ax-wielding dwarf out of Mirabar named Baern Ironbeard. The dwarf thought little of him initially and wanted to press on, but a buckle on his plate had broken in the battle. This left the dwarf in a pickle, as each step he took would cause the opposite side of the plate to dig into his side. Nedrin, seeing an opportunity to return the favor used a spell of mending that he'd learned during his lessons to repair the buckle. He thanked the half-elf mage, albeit somewhat begrudgingly, and then agreed to see the poor lad safely on to the next town.
The two became fast friends after that day, and shared in many more adventures together. Their friendship grew to the point that when Nedrin decided his next adventure would take him far to the South the dwarven warrior insisted that he be allowed to come along, and would not take no for an answer.
Goals: Create his own signature spell of the Evocation school.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
1) Nedrin opposes evil wherever he can. Any cause to fend off said evil for the greater good will surely draw his attention.
2) Nedrin had a run-in with a monk of the long death in his past. This monk would likely remember him, and is still alive. He may want to see Nedrin meet his end. (PM for more info)
3) Nedrin has a history of friendship with a dwarf of Mirabar. He is particularly sympathetic to the plights of dwarves, so he could be convinced to help a dwarven faction, or even just a dwarven individual if they were in dire straits.
