Sheets for Jagged and Merhault are over
here[edit: Character sheet is at Myth-Weaver's represents him currently; at large size]
Merhault is pretty much done, he just needs auditing and buying of some wands; I need to talk to Jagg about gear.
okay, I'm going to write a background for Merhault, up to when he was lvl 7, and then up to 'now'. Jagged.... will do her own background. Which is a quantum proposition. It will either be entirely terse, or it will include all of Jagged's history. In the few short months that she was played in my Tome campaign, I could easily write a few hundred words, mostly b/c she was the only person who showed up to nearly every session that I ran.
Background:
Merhault D'Guy Innards DrinkerMerhault was always a bit of a scamp. A mischevious child who was adopted and educated by a wizard when his impovrished family wanted to repay the sage by making Merhault his bondsman and servant. The sage didn't really need a servant of any kind, but he didn't want to seem ungrateful to the family, and he would be removing a hungry mouth from their table every evening. So instead, Merhault began his apprenticeship as a scholar's reasearch assistant.
With his keen intellect and a voracity for books that even made his instructor suggest that he go outside and not read history or arcane texts Merhault was able to learn many things about not only the world, but how to allow his exceptional perceptive abilities to replace his youthful nature to overlook things.
Branching out from his formerly sneaky ways, Merhault began to explore various forms of ways to live. For a short while he fully immersed himself entirely in social endeavors, and while his terse nature kept people at arm's length, he learned that he could keep himself from starving while away from his adoptive father by singing for his soup or playing a simple flute's tune.
Not satisfied with this, Merhault returned to the solidary tower he called a home and began to research more phsyical and martial aspects and read dozens of books on unarmed and armed combat before returning to explore the world. Clad in heavy armour and wielding massive swords, few people expected a warrior that was so knowledgable about the anatomies of living creatures that he could make them bleed to death without having to actually hack them apart.
His 'father' was reluctant to have Merhault waste his intelligence on purely martial efforts, but Merhault's constant insistence on more and more study to be combined into his martial efforts made his 'father' give him the benefit of the doubt.
[Fast Forward]
Merhault met a band of adventurers while soley exploring a dungeon. He was in the middle of a fight with a Fiendish Tyrannosaurus Rex, and while he might have survived, the appearance of more adventurers decidedly turned the tide in that battle. This was the first time that Merhault and Jagged met. Truth be told, neither Jagged, nor her allies, really liked Merhault. Partly because he wasn't an employee of the same patron as themselves, and partly because much of Merhault's previous work alone made his methods not mesh so well with groups of adventurers. He was effective, but he wasn't likeable.
He then kept adventuring with this group and was offered recruitment by the mage that kept his new-found allies on retainer, but turned the offer down because of his own ties with an other powerful wizard, his adoptive father.
Eventually he went seperate ways from these adventureres, and continued to do more work alone, or perform tasks or accomplish quests for his father.
During one such mission in a Drow city, Merhault was captured and his mind was destroyed and his memories and personality were casually by the Drow Wizard that decided that Merhault should believe that he was what he looked something like, a man-shaped spider, now made to think that he was an actual arachnid.
When his 'father' came to invesitgate his 'sons' dissapearance, he issued an ulitmatum for his son to be given to him. When the house's Matron refused, his 'father' began to obliterate the Drow Manor. During the confusion Merhault escaped the leash that marked him as the guard-pet for one of the higher-ranked daughters of the Drow family.
Since then, Merhault has kept both the skills and knowledge that he once possesed, however his mind has been shattered and replaced with what most people would consider a terrible madness. Merhault, now renamed Innards Drinker for his more messy eating habits, wanders as an adventurer who has no idea of his past.
Unfortunately, the fact that he is always masked and made to look like what he thinks he should look like, Innards Drinker has never encountered anyone who has been able to help him realize that he was once an actual human.

[Feat Summaries]
[spoiler]
Blitz [Combat]
You go all out and try to achieve goals in a proactive
manner.
+0: While charging, you may opt to lose your Dexterity
Bonus to AC for one round, but inflicting an extra
d6 of damage if you hit.
+1: You may go all out when attacking, adding your
Base Attack Bonus to your damage, but provoking
an Attack of Opportunity.
+6: Bonus attacks made in a Full Attack for having a
high BAB are made with a -2 penalty instead of a

+11: Every time you inflict damage upon an opponent
with your melee attacks, you may immediately use
an Intimidate attempt against that opponent as a
bonus action.
+16: You may make a Full Attack action as a Standard

Combat School [Combat]
You are a member of a completely arbitrary fighting
school that has a number of recognizable signature
fighting moves.
+0: First, name your fighting style (such as “Hammer
and Anvil Technique” or “Crescent Moon Style”, or
“Way of the Lightning Mace”). This fighting style
only works with a small list of melee weapons that
you have to describe the connectedness to the DM
in a half-way believable way. Now, whenever you
are using that technique in melee combat, you gain
a +2 bonus on attack rolls.
+1: Your immersion in your technique gives you great
martial prowess, you gain a +2 to damage rolls in
melee combat.
+6: When you strike your opponent with the signature
moves of your fighting school in melee, they must
make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + 1/2 your level
+ your Strength bonus) or become dazed for one
round.
+11: You may take 10 on attack rolls while using your
special techniques. The DC to disarm you of a
school-appropriate weapon is increased by 4.

You also get Uncanny Dodge.

checks.
+11: You may make a Sense Motive check (opposed by
your opponent’s Bluff check) immediately whenever
any creature approaches within 60’ of you
with harmful intent. If you succeed, you know the
location of the creature even if you cannot see it.
+16: You are never surprised and always act on the first
round of any combat.

Horde Breaker[Combat]
You kill really large numbers of people.
+0: You gain a number of extra attacks of opportunity
each round equal to your Dexterity Bonus (if positive).
+1: Whenever you drop an opponent with a melee attack,
you are entitled to a bonus “cleave” attack
against another opponent you threaten. You may
not take a 5’ step or otherwise move before taking
this bonus attack. This Cleave attack is considered
an attack of opportunity.
+6: You may take a bonus 5’ step every time you are
entitled to a Cleave attack, which you may take either
before or after the attack.

influences.

+6: If you are stunned, you are dazed instead.
+11: You do not suffer penalties from pain and fear.
+16: You are immune to compulsion effects.
Lightning Reflexes [Combat]

most of the really dangerous creatures in the world
use magic.
+0: You gain Spell Resistance of 5 + Character Level.

+6: Creatures cannot cast defensively within your
threat range.

increased by 1.

that also does 2d4 points of Dexterity damage.

dazes your opponent. This effect lasts one round,
and has a DC of 10 + half your level + your Intelligence
Two Weapon Fighting [Combat]
When armed with two weapons, you fight with two
weapons rather than picking and choosing and fighting
with only one. Kind of obvious in retrospect.

off-hand. When you make an attack or full-attack
action, you may make a number of attacks with
your off-hand weapon equal to the number of attacks
you are afforded with your primary weapon.

opponent.

against each opponent you can reach. Roll

AC individually.
+1: You gain a +3 bonus to Balance checks.
+6: As a full round action, you may take a regular
move action and make a single attack against each
opponent you can reach at any point during your
movement. Roll one attack roll and compare to
each available opponent’s AC individually.
+11: Until your next round after making a whirlwind
attack, you may take an attack of opportunity
against any opponent that enters your threatened
area.
+16: As a full round action, you take a charge action,
