The Player Characters
-artwork by Guy Kidd
Gnurd Gloidnotz
Goblin Gunslinger
Choosing to leave home at a young age, Gnurd forged a family of sorts in the varying characters that served on the crew of the Fallen Demon.
After more than a decade of hard living and persistent danger, the voyages taken by Capt. Suresh and the Fallen Demon eventually got the ship blown up along with most of the crew. Gnurd was left adrift and washed ashore alone, fending for himself and protecting his captain’s firearms.
Having never led a crew before, Gnurd finds now himself among the greenest he’s ever seen, but if they just work together… they might all make it out of this alive ...ish.
Ka’Zohn El Zaide
Tabaxi Barbarian
The last son of the Katarian pride, Kaz left his home when he was 17 to find his own way in the realm. Alone was better. His moments of ‘overflow’ would not hurt anyone, and he would have all the time in the world to mediate and work on his poetry.
Eight years later, Kaz has made a quiet life of solitary scavenging in the fringes of the Waste, finding strange scrap worth decent coin to the right contacts in the city, and while Kaz generally avoids civilization… it is a great chance to replenish his tea.
He finds himself now among an odd array of travelling companions, all with their own wonderful quirks and personal burdens. They do not seem to judge him and for the first time in years, traveling with these others does not seem so bad, no?
Lilith Fayra
Eladrin Druid
Lilith was raised in a dawn city in the Vernus Shimmer wanting for nothing. Her loving parents kept a close eye, but her curiosity always led her into situations where someone needed help. Her first 100 years were spent exploring in the Shimmer with her best friend in the whole world, Azariah.
But that happy childhood was shattered when he suddenly disappeared after a night spent watching the beautiful lights of the Veil play across the sky and wondering what was beyond.
A year later, Lilith tried to follow Azariah through the Veil and has become stranded in this mundane place searching for her friend. Along the way Lilith has made interesting new friends that need her help, but will she ever get home? Will she ever find Azariah? It’s a big world out there, so she better get started.
Torakas Umbyrphrale
Dragonborn Cleric
Hey! Wow! Okay. So… Torakas was going to be the Speaker for the Clawsgrove Clutch of brass dragonborn…. but then his father was killed and it looked like Torakas did it, but he DIDN’T! He still got framed for it and got banished.
While living out his banishment, Torakas was pulled into a lake by a skeletal hand, pulled waaay down by the grabbing hands of several corpses until the glint of a strange medallion in the sediment caught his eye. After a surreal experience with a glowing light and disembodied voice, Torakas found he had amazing new powers! And a purpose! He blasted the creatures trying to drown him and made his way into the world.
Aided by new companions, Torakas is speeding towards his destiny: finding the lost temple of his god.
