JAEGER SIDE: The name of Jaeger came from an interesting little situation. While watching television one Sunday afternoon, he was flipping through the TV channels to notice a NFL ballgame and the name of one of the players: JAEGER. It catches his attention so he writes it down. A few weeks after that he starts to play Advanced Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. About the same time he began checking out the Net. Starting a campaign with his group, he needs a character and a name for it, so he goes with Jaeger, thief/scout. Within that time frame, he starts on his first Muck: QWest. During the first year of playing on the Net, he learned alittle more about the name, who the guy it belonged to and how it was pronounced: Jay-ger. Yet, it is pronounced like Yeager. And over the past few years, Jeff has learned about about himself and who he is in this crazy world. He has met people over the US and aboard and has come to answer to the name, Jaeger. Jaeger's life story starts below.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JAEGER

Having only lived in the Magic Kingdom for a few years, Jaeger's young life has been somewhat of an interesting one. He was born to a human woman in the village of Forest Deep several miles from the city of Waterdeep. A few days after his birth, he was placed in an orphanage in the care of an Elven woman named Mother Lyza. For the first five years, Jaeger grew up as a normal little boy. However, no one in the village or in the surrounding area wanted to adopt him. This situation puzzled Mother Lyza alot but didn't worry to much about it at the time. At the age of six, things around Jaeger began to change almost drasticly and dramaticly. The children at the orphanage started to leave Jaeger out of activities. They began teasing him about his looks. He would go to Mother Lyza who would scold the others for teasing him, but it would not do any good. They would continue. One day while helping around the orphanage doing spring cleaning, Jaeger was wiping a mirror and noticed something strange. His blues eyes weren't like the other children. His were more oval shape similar to that of a cat like the ones that hung around the orphanage. Going to Mother Lyza, he asked her about his difference. She told him that she didn't. Thinking for a second, she then presented him with a note that was attached to his blanket. The note read:

Silence filled the room for several minutes while Jaeger stared at the note. The Elven woman further explained that there were another note with specific instructions. However, these instructions were to be performed when he became 21 years old. She did stated that she could do this. She handed him a package. Untying the string, he opened the wrap to reveal three pouches and saddlebags. He noticed that they had one thing in common. Each item had the letters "J" and "H" side-by-side in a crest. Re-wrapping andputting the others away, he wore one of the pouches carrying almost everything he could put in it.

Over the next several years, Jaeger still was ridiculed about his looks. He could understand that he had Elven features, but his eyes weren't like other Elves or anybody else in the village or orphanage.

Two days after his 10th birthday, Mother Lyza noticed that the young man was more mature than the rest of the children. And his thirst for knowledge became greater. She would teach the children to read, write, and do math. However, she couldn't provide enough stuff for the young Jaeger to do, so she suggested that he help the orphanage by earning a skill to satisfy his thirst and to earn alittle money.

Each day he would head for Forest Deep looking for work. The only thing he could get was brief parttime jobs. He would give Mother Lyza some of the money to buy things for the orphanage. The rest was used to buy personal things and candy. While in town when he wasn't working, he spent alot of time with an Elf named Old Jake. Jake Waybaster was the head guildmaster of the local Scouter's Guild. Jaeger loved to hear the stories the old elf told of his travels. He would sit for hours listening to the elf tell his stories of adventure. He noticed that the young lad had become intrigued with the stories with complete enthusiasm to the point that he talked the boy into joining the guild. Jaeger became thrilled to be asked and felt very comfortable outside in the forests. Jake couldn't keep from noticing how the boy picked up the skills quickly. There was one other thing that impressed the old elf. It was how the boy could communicate with nature. The lad was able to look at an animal and get that animal to do a cute trick. Jaeger spent the next eleven years working in the guild. He performed the normal tasks around the guild as well as gone out on some scouting excursions. He did his job well earning money for theorphanage and a little for himself. He developed a reputation as an excellent scout. At 18, he became a full member of the guild. The guildmaster would send the young elf on jobs with other scouts who were more experienced. Other members thought that Jake was off his rocker for doing it, but Jaeger's ability to figure out things won over the one who he traveled with.

After returning from a job on his 21st birthday, Mother Lyza presented the young scout with the a package. She divulged that this was the item that was with him when he was left at the orphanage door. He unwrapped the package to find two Silver armbands and Bag of Holding along with a note. Inside the bag was a lute and crossbow. The note read:

He stared at the armbands for several hours. He noticed that the lute and crossbow were of Elven design. He knew he had heard of Bags of Holding, but had never seen one. Re-wrapping the armbands, he placed them into the saddlebags. Later during the day, a birthday party was held for Jaeger at the guild. Most of the gifts were from fellow guild members. Many of the items were things that he could use on his excursions. Not many of the children that were Jaeger's age were present. He noticed during the years from age eleven to 21 that many of the children ever spoke to him. The only times they did were when he was helping around the home or when he would return from a job. The situation between himself and the others suited him just fine. He spent alot of time alone growing up. Even though he had Mother Lyza and old Jake, he felt alone not having anyone to love. And receiving these gifts made him wonder to who his parents were raising alot of questions in his mind.

Weeks of jobs came and went. Jaeger began to earn a reputation. One day, an adventuring group came to the village inquiring of a good scout. The group consisted of a human, female Paladin, Heather Silverblade; a Drow-elf female fighter-thief, Cyntilian Shimmergloom; a human, male cleric, John Smith; a human, female ranger, Koncordia Karrel; and a human, male fighter, Cyrus. They were in need of a scout to help them through an area to the North. Learning of the pay, he took the job returning to the orphanage bidding farewell to Mother Lyza. The next morning they headed North. Riding for hours, the group camped in a clearing next to the road. The next morning as they were riding, a figure appeared causing them to stop. The figure will introduce itself as the incarnation of Time. He manipulated the group in to believing they were needed for a job somewhere else. Before they could do anything, the group was transported to a tropical rain forest. Getting used to the area, Jaeger noticed something about himself that he wasn't as different as believed. He saw several different races that he didn't see around Forest Deep. Many looked like humans with heads of animals.

He spent the next five years working with the group. He earned alot of money eventually becoming rich after a scouting excursion. The item, a blank panther, that was retrieved from this excursion provided him with unique items. He learned that the statue was made of Adamintite and received many things that he could use in his job. The remainder was turned into money. This prompted the group to settle down. They traveled along the Northern coast coming to a very small village. They came to a small fishing village called "Awad." The next few weeks the group set up residence in the village providing protection.

There were two things that seemed to bother Jaeger. He saw the need of an orphanage so he used money given to him by Cyn for helping in a matter. At the same time he wanted to start his own school/keep. The other thing he felt was alone. The building took awhile. That next year, he opened the orphanage and began his school.

During that year, the Paladin began having problems with a female dragon named Canesera. After the school was built along with the other members schools/keeps, a painting of a dragon and each individual was given to them. However, Jaeger's school only lasted eight months.

Bad storms had been in the area. But this storm wasn't any ordinary storm. It was rumoured to cause destruction. The first place destroyed was the Ranger's keep/school. Two days later while doing the normal things around the keep, Jaeger was attacked by the storm luckily surviving with his life with the painting also destoryed. He became fed up with things so he took care of matters of the orphanage and bid farewell to the group leaving.

The evening after he left, he was getting ready for rest. Things were going good. And he felt at peace that he hadn't in a long while. The night was peaceful with no clouds in thesky sparkling with stars. Crickets could be heard chirping. As he was about to settle in for the night, a light appeared a few feet a way. This movement startled Jaeger. He wasabout to reach for his sword. The figure spoke.

"Calm, young friend. Don't be alarmed. I have came to help you," it said.

Jaeger looked at the figure in puzzlement. It continued.

"I have seen the pain you have gone throug h. The loneliness and the que stions of your past. I am here to show you and fill in those gaps."

Jaeger was about to say something when a light engulfed the area. Images filled his mind with pictures of elves and felines. He began hearing voice he did not recognize. Voices that answered questions and provided information instilling a peace of self. However, there were four voices that he somehow strangely recognized. One was his mother. Her face was beautiful and her voice was angelic. The other three were that he learned to be of his father, Grandfather Damon and Grandmother Taella. They explained things that were overwhelming to the young scout.

As sudden as it came, the light vanished becoming quiet. The figure sat looking at Jaeger and spoke.

"I know the information you have just received is overwhelming. But I hope you will feel in your heart that you were loved," it replied.

Jaeger only nodded as the voice continued.

"I will leave you now, my young friend. You have been given alot. So sleep in peace. Farewell," ended the figure vanishing.

Jaeger sat there looking out contemplating all he saw and heard. At first the images made no sense, but suddenly something inside made complete sense. His life and history became clear. However, his loneliness was still there. Even though, he knew of his family, he felt that something was missing. Becoming exhausted, he went to sleep.

The next morning, Jaeger woke up noticing he was in a mist. Getting up, he prepared to re-load finding only his money, bag of holding, lute, crossbow, backpack with clothing, sword, and other odds-n-ends. Everything else including his horse, Hemingway, were gone. Suddenly, he heard a voice speak.

'You will have no need of those things, young scout," the voice replied. "All you will need is what is left. You have earned the chance to live a new life. Go and enjoy." The voice was gone.

This puzzled the young elf for a moment deducing that the voice was right. He had spent his time survivin g skirmishes and battles and deserved his rewards. Gathering what he had and heading out, he noticed that he was not in the tropical forest anymore. He saw normal trees and shrubbery. Birds and other forest animals could be seen flying and scampering around. The air was crisp and clean. Water was heard nearby. Jaeger took a deep breath letting fill his lungs feeling refreshed. The sun in the sky shone hitting his body reviving it him with a new energy he had not felt in years. This feeling felt good not wanting it to end.
