Name: Logah of the Odazi Ogre Clan. Color Identity:R Race: Ogre Origin: The Quilt(A plane me and a friend are working on creating)
Logah was not originally supposed to born, at all honestly. His mother and clan were caught in one of the attacks of the Eldrazi, but were lucky enough instead of just being destroyed, their little piece of land ended up getting pulled into the Quilt. Most the Clan couldn't adapt to the chaotic nature of the ever shifting and unstable plane. He ended up being lucky that he was born and was able to survive, though his mother did parish a few years after his birth, it wasn't as much of a blow to him, Ogres seeing the entire clan as family, birth parents mean just about as anyone else.
His Clan lived, him growing to become its chief even, but was forced to become nomads once more. For the longest time, they were just scavengers and hunters in the Quilt, preying on new territories and places that would appear there at times. His spark didn't ignite until they came across an abomination of the Shard years later, a fusion of many creatures and unnatural, a living parallel of the chaotic nature of the Quilt. The Creature slaughtered nearly all that was left of his clan, and in the ensuing battle with Logah, his rage opened up his Spark, and flung them both tumbling through the blind eternities, he ended up in another plane while the beast seemed to vanish.
Though his clan died, the rage and strength of them still resonate with him, the spirits of an entire tribe of Angry Ogres fueling him further.

Name: Nihoh Sann Colors:(W/B) Race: Kalashtar Home Plane: Hauth Irit
The world of planeswalkers is so often one of absolutes. Either your spark ignites or it doesn't. Either you survive your first trip through the blind eternities or you don't. Either you have enough power for a task or you don't. However, this trait merely makes the few exceptions all that much more noteworthy.
One such exception would be Nihoh Sann, from the plane of Hauth Irit. Nihoh is a kalashtar, a human with a very small amount of spirit blood in his heritage. Blood from a race of men who were said to be the dreams of a sleeping god. The dream race, the kalashtar are called, are indiscernible from humans except for their wispy, white hair, sleepy eyes, and the strange black and white patterns that appear across all of their skin. On Hauth Irit, the race is often stereotyped by the other races as lazy tricksters.
Nihoh was once a traveler, and often met this prejudice wherever he found himself. In fact, it is this prejudice that lead to his spark igniting. A disillusioned mob coming after him, flying into a rage purely because a kalashtar were in their town. For Nihoh, his instincts took over the instant he realized what was happening. In his panic, at the sight of those torches and the rope, he planeswalked, leaping into The Blind Eternities. However, as the overwhelming wave of chaos that is The Blind Eternities ripped at him and poured into his mind, he turned every fragment of his will back upon it, forcing the terrifying thing to stop from destroying his body.
Now, Nihoh's spark is different than most, more intense, far more powerful. Powerful enough, in fact, that, instead of his power simply being buffeted back by the fact of reality that is The Blind Eternities, he actually succeeded in holding it at bay, and, mid-walk, came to a full stop. He planeswalked halfway.
However, this is no great feat, not a thing to be lauded, because once he has stopped in the middle of the Eternities, there is no further movement. He will never leave the Eternities again, and almost all of his enormous power is forever bound to hold back the crushing wave of reality from eradicating him.
This has only recently came to pass...

Name: Triu Aprenizzet Color Identity:UR Race: Human Home Plane: Ravnica Backstory: Triu's last name wasn't always Aprenizzet. No, wasn't given that name until he has named Hand of the Firemind, an honor held by few and coveted by many. As hand he relayed experiment plans, managed meetings with Niv, lead guilt rallies, and of course waiting on the Firemind hand and foot. During one of his daily runs around the guild Niv had asked him, telepathically of course, to check on one of his new projects he had asked to be started. Triu, of course, knew very little of Niv's projects, at least in detail. But from what he had gathered from whispers among the guild members this project was in the field of Planeswalking, a dangerous and potentially plane-changing ability. Triu walked down the corridor towards the labs tasked with the project. He opened the door to the main lab, revealing a red and blue aura in the middle of this otherwise empty room. He called out, looking for any of the taskmages who were supposed to be working on the project, but no response. He shuffled to the center of the room where the light was floating. It was beautiful, with this strange trident-like shape in the core of it. As he approached it, he could feel the mana inside of him reacting. Bouncing, churning, exploding... He reached out towards it. It was calling to him. His finger tips penetrated the light and a jolt of energy traveled through is body. Pure energy. It excited him. He pushed a little forward, his finger grazing the small symbol on this inside. A flash of light and he could see the Aether and the next thing he knew he was in a field. No buildings, no labs, no noise; just a calm, peaceful field. They had done it, they had perfected planeswalking, and now he was a Planeswalker. The idea was exciting. He stood up straight, tilted his head up, and disappeared in a flash, traveling across the multiverse.
