Character History

Gaz Kothari
{D&D 4ed OC}



Gaz Kothari was born and raised on a small farm in Legion-controlled Cormyr on the edge of an elfin forest by her hardworking parents and older brother. As a small child, Gaz's family took in a runaway half-elf named Zephyri who had been cast out by the elves of the forest. The two became like sisters, absolutely inseparable. After a while it was hard to remember that they weren't in fact related.

One day when Gaz was in her teens, a gang of bandits attacked the farm, leaving her father paralyzed. Gaz hated herself for not being able to stop them, and swore to train herself using whatever weapons she could find, which at that point consisted of an old rusty sword and a pitchfork. Later on, when the bandits came back for more, Gaz beat the lot of them single-handedly, ensuring they would never return to bother her family again.

After that it was clear that Gaz was meant for more than a farm life. She left her family for the nearest town, where she joined the army. She was trained as a ranger, and learned to be an excellent tracker and a lethal fighter. Eventually, though, she began having doubts about the cause for which she was fighting. Around that time, her father unfortunately passed away. Given leave from the army, Gaz returned home for the funeral, only to discover an old suit of hide armor in her father's belongings. When Gaz put it on, she was struck by intense memories of a former life— her father's former life— as a member of the legendary adventuring group known as the Nine. The armor instilled in Gaz the strange desire to travel to a town called Eveningstar, for to be reunited with other descendants of the Nine. Along the way, she fought Legion armies as a masked vigilante. Stories of her attacks spread throughout the ranks, and Legion fighters learned to fear her.

Once she arrived in Eveningstar, she and the others formed a new Nine, and learned that it was the destiny of the Nine to arise whenever Cormyr needed their help, as it did now. Their mission: to defeat the Legion and bring Cormyr back to its former glory. Along the way, some of their number was lost, but others found. After one harrowing battle against Legion forces at Fort Slaughterfast, Gaz fell through a portal to the Nine Hells. Praying to her god Tempus for help, she received aid in the form of an angel named Castiel, alongside whom she survived six terrifying months in hell. Eventually, her comrades found their way through to rescue her, but by that point, she had become pregnant with Castiel's child!

Through the divine power of Tempus, (and the strange way time passes between the realms) her son, Jacen, was raised in the Astral Sea in the Halls of Tempus, where he learned all about battle and war. When he turned sixteen, he returned to live with his mother, though barely any time had passed for her at all. With Jacen now in their party, the Nine fought their way out of hell through the Underdark, back to Faerûn. Eventually, they returned to Eveningstar, and began preparing for their biggest adventure yet: reclaiming Cormyr's capital city, Arabel, and placing Jax, the rightful heir to the crown of Cormyr, on the throne.
