Hello forums. I've never really played D&D (or at least, never long enough to level), but I love designing characters and every so often I find myself becoming bored with my current games and switch instead to filling out character sheets. In particular, I like making high-level, high-power characters.
In the latest of these character designs I pulled together Pathfinder source material, including Psionics Unleashed, dug up the gestalt rules and set to work constructing a mid/high level, gratuitously powered character.
I started him at level 1 and built up, level by level, finally finishing him earlier this morning. It looked good, I thought. But I wasn't satisfied. So I decided to post it here.
As previously mentioned, its based mostly on Pathfinder material, along with the gestalt variant rule. It also uses the Erudite and two rules modifications: Mystic Theurges/Cerebremancers are allowed, but caster/manifestor level for each class cannot be increased more than once per level and the Erudite's unique powers per day increase with manifestor level, not class level.
Okay, so that was a bit long-winded.

Nokorus was born and raised in a small town in the care of a Cerebremancer, who had been an adventurer but retired quickly for reasons he wouldn't talk about. Nokorus studied under him until he was 20. He left his town feeling a little empty, but hopeful. A little empty, as despite his long stay he felt no connection to the place, nor people, nor even to his foster father. But hopeful that he would be able to learn many more things in his travels and maybe find someone he could call 'friend'.
His first hope was fulfilled. While he spent most of his efforts furthering his mental and arcane abilities, he also studied and made quick progress in the martial arts. He also learned the art of stealth, using it to dig up valuable information and break into troves of arcane knowledge.
His second hope, however, was less so. He worked with many people as he sought out ways to further his understanding. He fought in wars both large and small in scale. And yet every bond he forged and every group he helped or joined betrayed him quickly, with his supposed allies either trying to make off with everything they worked for or outright trying to kill him as soon as their deal was done, if not sooner.
He learned to be ever suspicious of those he worked with, watching their every move and weighing their every word. And yet it availed him little - somehow, no matter how sincere they seemed, betrayal was right around the corner. Every alliance was betrayed.
...and every traitor met his vengeance.
His spirit is not easily broken, however, and Nokorus is still quick to provide help, but he's also grim-faced and ever watchful of those around him. He is proud of his power and will not resort to violence unless he or one he considers worth protecting is attacked. He wanders the land in search of hidden knowledge and still holds to the dwindling hope of finding a true friend.
...alright, so its not all about character sheets. What else do I title this thread? But yeah. Thoughts?
