Personality: Hamil wants to be seen as a stoic, levelheaded, noble Barbarian, so he tries to act the part. He does a good job, for the most part... He works hard and plays hard.

Description: This woman wears a shirt and pants that are bristling with pockets overflowing with maps, compasses, and other navigational equipment. She has a penchant for wearing a ring with an oversized sapphire on her left hand. She sports a flattop hair cut. Her blue eyes show the wear and tear of someone lonely with a great burden to carry.

Personality: She will use flattery and sarcasm to attack and weaken her opponents. Despite her formidable combat skills she remains a coward. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Hlin is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: Hlin was born with her father's beautiful face. Her spouse left her for another, whom she beat to an almost bloody pulp. She did not win them back, but she came to a realization. To get what you want from life, you must take it. She leaves a trail of broken hearts and full pockets wherever she goes.

Her face is covered beneath a completely black helmet.

Personality: She hates Gnomes with a passion. As such she is filled with self loathing. The war was a terrible time for her, and Tenena does not often speak of it. When she does, she does so with a strained expression and tears in her eyes.

History: She was born in the east, but her parents moved at a very young age to the west. Tenena was born on a far eastern plains where she grew up under the tutelage of her father, an expert Unemployed. She left for the east, certain she would find work there.
