Description: A woman with thick toned arms and a paunchy gut. She tends to wear a heavy leather apron. Coupled with her rolled up shirt sleeves this gives her a very relaxed look. She has dyed her greying red hair a little too much giving a sharp red color. Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: Heather speaks confidently about a variety of topics with grace. She is clearly well-traveled and educated. She will often invite strangers home for dinner and talk their ears off. She cares deeply for her spouse and does her best to make sure her guests look presentable.

History: She was born at the edge of vast island. While she appears to be a normal Human, she's... not quite right. Perhaps she's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that she plain doesn't fit in. Some 10 years later her spouse died after the birth of her son. Heartbroken, Heather never married again. Instead she focused her life to raising her son whom she trained as her father had trained her before.

Motivation: Nothing but the best is good enough for her; and she is not mentally stable, and does not behave rationally

Description: This southern man wears just a yellow suit. His clothes are grease stained in places. He has styled his red hair well, parting it to the left. His blue eyes peer out from beneath his deerstalker yellow hat.

Personality: He likes to fabricate stories about his past exploits and how crazy he is, but in actuality he is rather bland. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Manfred is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: His mother raised him in a mountain cabin. Manfred was born on a far southern desert where he grew up under the tutelage of his father, an expert Armorer. He has made many enemies by not giving into corruption and outing many instances of it.

History: She was born the only child of a wealthy merchant. She took every job she could get her hands on, but the opportunities for Humans in the north were limited. She now has a substantial network of resources ranging from contacts to ships to peers.
