� What was the team�s first job together? Who was the job�s MVP?
Sometimes your past won't let go, nulling any chance to forge your future.
The runaway, guided by his god, found shelter in a monastery, whose residents specialized in curing others. It wasn't long before Luis was able to make a name for himself among the people of both his new order, and towns nearby. For once, he seemed to be happy.
His fame soon spread through the region, eventually finding way to reach unfriendly and greedy ears.
Led by a clergy not so far away from Luis' current housing, a Paladin who went with the name of Sir Grace, was sent to "retrieve" the unguided chosen one, for a higher purpose within the ranks of the church. With little to say about it, the Order of monks and nuns who Luis called family, had no option but to follow the demands the Paladin presented.
Little did everyone know, that Sir Grace had other plans in mind. Instead of going directly to their destination, a detour was taken. Luis inquired quickly, but he only received a small and cold answer: "For a mightier purpose"
They eventually met with some other people, who seemed to be waiting for Sir Grace, and only him, for a lot of eyes with a slight mistrust were suddenly focused on Luis.
The Paladin explained and introduced the Cleric as the 10th member.
But... Member of what.
Without chance to express his discontent about this, Luis started following quietly, as he felt Sir Grace's stare judging him.
Didn't take long for the new member to realize this was a crime, a petty one, but a crime nonetheless.
He tried calling them all out, guided by his moral compass, but had his mouth shut by the Paladin. "For a mightier purpose" Sir Grace whispered.
The group divided, one consisting of Rogues, and the other was formed by those left behind.
Some minutes passed, and as boredom overcame them, a small chatter started.
"What is the reason for us staying outside?"
"Just in case something goes wrong"
Several screams were heard, as the Rogues jumped out of the windows of the building, landing in front of the rest of the party.
"You just jynxed us"
"Whatever, you like fighting, don't you?"
Guards made of magic, soon sorrounded them all. It was obvious what was going to happen next, after all, not everyone takes being mugged with a smile, especially not a grumpy old mage.
In the middle of a fight, a Warlock presented herself as Sovereign, who had seemed to see Luis as a pupil in need of guidance. Or at least that's how the healer had perceived it.
The Warlock manifested great mastery in her craft, proving to be a valuable member in this mission.
From Luis' view and thinking, she seemed to be a very valuable asset to the team.

� What is the Sparkledog population in Void City like? How do you fit in?
Sparkledogs are scattered around the whole region as "packs", remaining either underground, or at special dimensional parallels to Void City; They generally do not enjoy interacting with other races, however some shifters are (way) more sociable than others.
Luis, having a below pathetic performance in contests of strength, was constantly bullied. This developed a severe mistrust in other sparkledog shifters, and strangers in general.
To make things even better worse for him, God Pelor picked Luis as the vessel who'd bring the god's light into places of darkness, showing kindness, mercy, and compassion.
After Pelor's enlightment on Luis, he soon discovered he had an affinity towards healing powers. However, instead of bringing joy to himself and others, this new "divinity" only brought jealousy and even more harassment.
Fed up, Luis ran away from his pack, searching for a place where his nursing abilities would be appreciated.
