Description: He wears light armors faded through time and improper care. His chestnut hair is thinning but still full. He has a very pronounced jaw and large eyebrows. He wears rectangular glasses with silver brims.

Personality: He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. He is not one for noise or eating so much, which is in direct contrast with his big mouthed big gutted partner. His partner is his best friend in the world. The two are very close despite being more or less each other's opposites. 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, Mantus is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: Born in the north to a Courier, Mantus learned a great deal about his mother's area of expertise. He worked as a nervous Courier and found it very stressful. He has set out to sabotage the competition.

Motivation: To reunite with his old friends; and he has passion for adventuring and risk

Voice: Cold and demanding tone

Possessions: 100 gp. 1 Minor magic item.

Description: An older man who wears a white armored body suit, with a simple grey line shooting up and back down, he is not a threatening figure. His white hair is slicked back into a classic pompadour. He wears round tiny glasses practically rammed into his face.

Personality: Barakas wants to be seen as a stoic, levelheaded, noble Adept, so he tries to act the part. He does a good job, for the most part... He is an amazing painter.

History: A powerful slaver made him what he is. Brilliant and gifted he never wanted to apply himself. Recently a tribe of orcs attacked the village and all able bodies who could hold a blade were quickly armed and sent to the walls.

Description: He is dressed in an above average manner, but does not cut a very imposing figure. He walks with a slouch but will stand straight to his full 3'3" when asserting himself. His chestnut hair is lengthy. This violet eyed southerner is not easily forgotten.

Personality: While he acts the brute, he is far gentler than he would appear. Arumawann is a bit of a follower. Usually he is manipulated by his sisters into helping them out, but recently he has become more of a free agent.

History: He was always a brilliant, if unscrupulous mind. 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. He has been saving his money to try and buy his sister's freedom.

Description: This late middle aged man prefers to wear flannel and is in decent physical shape. His moppish auburn hair is in a traditional bowl cut. He was beautiful and young once, which still shows through his age, but it is a faded beauty.

Personality: He is always cheerful, even with a hangover, and is always willing to go through all sorts of trouble to help his friends. He considers everything a fun event and doesn't hold grudges. A fanatic, his devotion to his small selection of gods is unquestionable. He claims to be doing their will and will base all his actions on whether or not they would be pleasing to the gods.

History: He was raised by priests from a young age. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Thorpe grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Thorpe. He would ruin relationships and cause injury. He was reprimanded several times before being given his current form and forced to learn humility.

Motivation: His religion dominates his actions; and he has a rivalry with the church that dominates his actions
