History: Born in the north to a Carter, Mâku learned a great deal about his father's area of expertise. He graduated from the Naval Academy and went to see the world at the rank of Ensign.

History: He was born to a pair of big game hunters, but was frequently ill as a child. He was an adventurer many years ago and he formed a blood bond with his Gnomish companion (his 'brother'). He now mingles about in high society.

Description: She wears a shirt and pants that are bristling with pockets overflowing with maps, compasses, and other navigational equipment. Her attire stands in sharp contrast to her lance, which is beautifully polished and possesses an ornate carving of a dagger on it. She has a long golden ponytail with little hanging trinkets. Her green eyes dart around the room hyper actively observing anyone and anything.

Personality: She is extraordinarily eccentric. Her brief stint in the army gave her the idea she was invincible and that she is the toughest woman alive.

History: She was born to a pair of big game hunters, but was frequently ill as a child. She made a point of taking high paying jobs and getting most of it up front.

Description: This woman is wearing a tight red one piece outfit complete with pants, hood, and a cape. She has a penchant for wearing a ring with an oversized ruby on her right hand. Her silver hair is greying along the sides and has receded to reveal a widow's peak. She wears an eyepatch.

Personality: She has schizophrenia that causes her to hear things that aren't there and will sometimes respond to them. The war was a terrible time for her, and Paela does not often speak of it. When she does, she does so with a strained expression and tears in her eyes.

History: She served in the navy to pay for her family's outstanding loans. When Paela reached her early adolescence her Halfling father passed away. Feeling disconnected from the small nearby village afterwards, she decided to travel. Her rounds led her into the Army with a few individuals who would become her life-long companions.

Description: She wears very tight pants and wife beaters, though occasionally she sports a blue coat. She cuts an attractive figure and her suit of old armor is well cared for even if it is obsolete. She keeps her golden hair in a pixie cut. Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: She is unhospitable to her core. Her small house has "No trespassing" Signs all over it. She is used to getting what she wants. In part because she is a meticulous planner.

History: Yebe was born with her father's beautiful face. While she appears to be a normal Gnome, she's... not quite right.

Motivation: She's repulsed by the PC; and she feels that her past leaves her morally obligated to help
