Personality: He seems absolutely devoid of it. He stares off into space and will respond with overly literal and minimalist answers to questions. He lacks restraint and is impulsive. He jumps in and acts without thinking all too often.

History: Balam lived on a farm with his father, near the main road leading to a nearby town. He struck it rich when he found rare goods in large quantities. He's also a talented Bellfounder, but doesn't like to broadcast it.

Description: He wears very tight pants and wife beaters, though occasionally he sports a brown coat. He has a moderate pudge and is not very fit. His white hair is lengthy and is close to two feet long. His green eyes show the wear and tear of someone lonely with a great burden to carry.

Personality: While he acts the brute, he is far gentler than he would appear. He is able to fit into much smaller and tighter spaces than normal.

History: He was born at the edge of vast mountains. 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. To get what you want from life, you must take it. He left for the east, certain he would find work there.

Voice: Relaxed voice

Possessions: 10000 cp. 1 Minor magic item.

Description: This tall, slender man is well dressed, but even with his fine clothing he looks run-down. His brown hair is greying along the sides and has receded to reveal a widow's peak. His skin is flawless and his green eyes scan people very quickly.

Personality: He is extraordinarily passive and rarely speaks, let alone speaks his mind. A friendly and beautiful Half-Orc, he is rarely seen without a few beauties around his arms. Though a playboy in all rights, he is no lame duck.

History: He was born into a rich family. In his 17th year, while out on a day-trip, he returned to find his hometown burning and destroyed. He found his mother impaled in their home, and his father beheaded. He saw the man who walked out, and charged him in a blind rage. The man easily evaded and defeated him, leaving him to live broken and terrified. He now mingles about in high society.

Motivation: He is greedy.

Flaws: Shy, Fearful. Bonds: Attractive, Rich. Occupation: Layabout

Voice: Boston accent

Possessions: 800 gp. Amber (100 gp). 1 Smokesticks.

Personality: He goes out his way to put a smile on everyone's face. There's no-one he won't accept into his heart. He is a ruthless business man, a trait he acquired from his mother.

History: He comes from a rich northern family. 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. To get what you want from life, you must take it. He has been a successful dealer in antiques buying low and selling high.

Description: He is a small man, but exceptionally fit. He wears a shirt that is too small, which lets his gut show, with a ratty yellow coat over it. His red hair is unkempt and raggedy. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: He is intelligent and cunning, but he will too often allow his rage to get the better of him. He will lose his cool and rely on brute force to carry the day. His temper goes off on the smallest of things. He tends to lash out at those around him.

History: He was born to loving parents in a slum to the east. While he appears to be a normal Gnome, he's... not quite right. Perhaps he's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that he plain doesn't fit in. After a long history of fighting, Umpen and his spouse have recently divorced.
