To better illustrate how the scion class comes together, I prepared two examples of characters made using the scion class, and how they were built.
Example One: Sir Mordred
According to legend, Mordred is the illegitimate son between the union of the legendary King Arthur and the powerful sorceress, Morgan le Fay. Steeped in destiny and magic since his birth, he was raised as a political tool by his mother, and never officially recognized by his father, he joins the Knights of the Round Table. Largely portrayed as villainous knight, he is snubbed for his lack of chivalry and his connections to the sorceress and her dark powers. After seeing the people of Britain suffer hardship under King Arthur's endless wars, he leads a revolt against the king. In the end, Mordred and King Arthur mortally wound each other.

Example 2: Aldoreth
Fleeing the destruction of the temple of the sun god Pelor during the civil war in his homeland, a young healer traveled the world in search of safe refuge. After witnessing the needless deaths of many, he committed himself to pacifism. Kind, endlessly optimistic, and often clumsy, he supports his allies through his prayers, hymns, and healing. Along the way, he found friends and allies he could rely on - and his new home.
