Edwin Clarke - Neutral Human Skeleton Rogue


Edwin Clarke is, by all reasonable accounts, an entirely ordinary man who has found himself in persistently unreasonable circumstances. Once employed as a clerk of middling importance, Edwin possessed a talent for organization, a respect for procedure, and a deep appreciation for uneventful days. At some point - precisely when and how remains frustratingly unclear - he died and subsequently became a skeleton. He does not know why this occurred, nor has he found any particularly satisfying explanation, and after a brief period of concern has elected to treat the matter as an ongoing inconvenience rather than a mystery worth pursuing. He remains polite, mildly apologetic, and far more concerned with keeping things in order than with the broader implications of his condition. If pressed on the matter, he will concede that being dead is “somewhat inconvenient,” and then redirect the conversation to something more practical.

Edwin did not choose the life of a rogue so much as gradually discover that he was already suited to it. His years as a clerk required careful observation, a steady hand, and an ability to solve small but persistent problems without drawing attention to them. When circumstances began placing him in situations involving locked doors, trapped passages, and individuals who were not paying proper attention to their surroundings, Edwin simply applied the same practical mindset he always had. He moves quietly because it is safer, strikes when advantage presents itself because it is efficient, and avoids danger where possible because it is sensible. In this way, his skills are less a profession and more an extension of his nature - a continuation of the orderly, methodical approach he has always taken to an increasingly disorderly world.

Kelwyn the Great

Image
  Kelwyn the Great, the Red Wizard of Chaos. Kelwyn’s origins are as mysterious as he is. He was once a nameless and faceless merchant NPC, created by a Dungeon Master to sell magic items to player characters in a Dungeons & Dragons game. Used again and again across countless sessions, something unexpected occurred - through repetition, narrative echo, and exposure to chaotic magic, Kelwyn gained sentience and became aware that he was, in fact, a fictional construct within a roleplaying game. Thanks to his Chaotic Neutral nature, Kelwyn accepted this revelation with surprising ease. Rather than rejecting it, he embraced the freedom it implied. Over time, he grew in power and understanding, eventually learning how to exist across multiple universes where magic is present. He is now a recurring presence across many worlds, appearing where magic, commerce, or opportunity converge. Kelwyn originates from the dimension of Da’Ma , a lush and vibrant realm overflowing with magic. I...

Sibylle Côté - Dwarf TN Druid

Sibylle Côté is an anomaly among dwarves, preferring to wander the forests rather than delve into caves. She is good natured, but definitely not someone to cross.

The Plourde Twins - Half-Elf CN Bards

Image
The Plourde Twins, Roselle and Violette, are quite the anomaly. Not are they only half-elven twins, they are identical in almost all ways. While they are both quite skilled, Roselle prefers to sing while Violette prefers to play. They dislike violence, and will use their bardic abilities (as well as their skill in seduction) to help them rather than resorting to pulling their blades. Roselle tends to be the more dominant of the two, but their absolute loyalty and agreeability to one another can never be doubted. Rumor has it that they are  close , but this is just a fiction they enjoy spreading because of the chaos (and attention) it often causes. Roselle Plourde, Female Half-Elf Brd3: CR 3; Medium Humanoid (Elf); HD 3d6+3(Bard) ; hp 16; Init +2; Spd 30; AC:12 (Flatfooted:10 Touch:12); Atk +2 base melee, +4 base ranged; +2 (1d4, Dagger, Long); SQ: Immunity: Sleep Effects (Ex), Low-light Vision (Ex), +2 Saves vs. Spells and Spell-like Effects; RF: Elven Blood; AL CN; SV Fort +2...
