Description: She is dressed in earthy colors with a white and black handkerchief worn on her left side. She carries a battered scimitar and tarnished kukri as well. Her hair is black and curly. Judging by the bloodshot nature of her eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine she has not slept for days.

Personality: A skeptical and narcissistic woman, Ownka's first love is herself. Her second love is also herself. She has a minor phobia of water and hates getting wet.

History: She was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. In her 18th year, while out on a day-trip, she returned to find her hometown burning and destroyed. She found her father impaled in their home, and her mother beheaded. She saw the woman who walked out, and charged her in a blind rage. The woman easily evaded and defeated her, leaving her to live broken and terrified. Recently a tribe of gnolls attacked the village and all able bodies who could hold a blade were quickly armed and sent to the walls. Ownka fought at the side of some of the regions greatest heroes but was never overshadowed.

Motivation: To get a good night's sleep.

Description: This slender woman stands about 3'3". She prefers to wear tan pants and tee shirts. She keeps her brown hair in a pixie cut. This violet eyed easterner is not easily forgotten.

Personality: She is a Mortician first and foremost. She believes firmly that knowledge should be universal. She is obsessed with her god.

History: A child with a great deal of dancing talent her parents made sure she got the chance to thrive. Tippletoe liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week. She never liked modest clothing or shoes, so she would wander the woods barefoot and lightly dressed, and she developed a good sense of balance and learned how to climb and swim well. She became a Mortician soon after.

Description: Dark and lean, he is a relatively plain man. He is wearing a long, black cloak. His hair, while still mostly black, has prominent grey streaks. His gold eyes dart from person to person to random spaces in the air.

Personality: While he acts the brute, he is far gentler than he would appear. He never wears the same outfit twice, unless he absolutely has to.

History: From birth he was tutored by a cruel and relentless mentor. His spouse left him for another, whom he beat to an almost bloody pulp. He did not win them back, but he came to a realization.

Description: He is an average looking western male in his early mid-life. He wears dark leathers with embroidery. He keeps his red hair in a pixie cut. His face possesses mild wrinkles. His smile is extraordinarily sincere though he does not smile often.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. He is used to getting what he wants. In part because he is a meticulous planner.

History: The child of western immigrants he idolized his father. He took every job he could get his hands on, but the opportunities for Half-Orcs in the west were limited. He now travels the world, in search of power and loot.
