Ariel is a stunning red head with a knack for flair. She dresses to show off her looks, with a mithril shirt hiding under her clothes in case she finds her self in trouble. Or as the case usually is with her, trouble tends to locate her. She generally cannot refuse a well meaning chance to aid someone, especially lovers or those who would commit deeds of heroic proportions done in the name of passion and love. She loves to play the games of intrigue and more often than not, the Church of Aphrodite tends to find itself weaving the very same sordid tales. Always meaning well, Ariel’s chaotic nature tends to show, as she plunges head first in to action before thinking the course of action through. A typically passionate red head, this tends to cloud her otherwise staunch belief in common sense. Usually her friends can steer her clear to the right path if they just catch her before she bolts for it.

Description:
Tommy is well built, tall, clean shaven and has a light tan. He wears black pants a chain shirt concealed under a gray cotton shirt and a tan coat. Across the front of his chest he has a set of eight throwing daggers slotted into place in two black sashes, forming an "X". On his left side torso is his longsword in a tan sheath and strapped on his right side shoulder is his crossbow.
Background:
On a crisp cool night a slight breeze floats a trio of leaves up off the ground; they climb high then slowly make their way back down. The three leaves land next to a man lying down near a fire, another man sits opposite him. The two men sit in silence, appreciative of the calm night and the noises of crickets and owls that fill the woodland surrounding them. In a harsh croaky voice the man sitting down starts to speak "So tell me Reaver, what made you become such a person, wandering around like you do?"
Looking into the fire the man named Reaver turns his head towards the man sitting down. "I come from the mountains you see friend, and these mountains were very popular to say the least. They provided rich soil perfect for harvest and great for cattle and sheep. Oh we had enough land to do us good for a hundred lifetimes and then some, so did the others that had home in the mountains, though people get greedy. One hot summers night a band of men, no let's call 'em armed thugs, with nothing to their names decided they were going to "claim" our land, they set alight our house and barns. In the glory of their victory the men started slaughtering townspeople who were trying to escape, blood led to more blood. I managed to stop one from killing my father, launching my self at the man and just pounding into him with a small knife. We then were able to escape before the others saw their fallen friend. With a few supplies and a lot of local knowledge we headed to a nearby coastal city, everywhere else was too hostile. On the way my father Cain, lost his life, blood loss probably." Thomas Reaver says in a straight voice, having no qualms with talking about his dead father. "Given time our people found work in the city and were able to readjust. I just couldn't, no way after what happened. I left my mother and my three sisters, they were fine, had well paying jobs and a roof over their heads. I've accepted it now, at first I ended up going on a bit of a spree of violence my self, no need to look at me like that Trell, I killed a few raiding goblins and an orc, oh plus that deer, I was hungry so kill me!" he smirks. "A couple nights out in the woods did me good. I went back to the city found work as a caravan guard, earned enough to start me off and now I work freelance, wandering, following the wind. My mother passed away, two of my sisters married wealthy men, and the other went seawards, no word from her. Well that's it Trell" Thomas says as he checks his sword is in its place. The rough voiced Trell says "Why didn't you go back to the mountains with some armed men to get revenge Sir Reaver?"
"I did but there was no sign of the murdering bastards, probably didn't know what to do with themselves... I've let it go, there are enough bastards in the world to kill. So tell me Trell how'd you come about to being a trader?"
Trell starts "When I was a boy I found I loved money aye? Yeah we' anyway I found a small calf by the side of a gravel road one day and doin' as lil' boys do I went up behind it an-d....." Trell finishes, finding it hard to talk with a dagger lodged in his neck. "F**ken slave traders, scum of the earth" Thomas says as he cleans himself off, and then lets a group of six undernourished men free from their shackles.

Abesh's father is unknown, but his human mother was the unfaithful wife to a Candaran merchant; she died shortly after he was born. Being the youngest of eight children, but still loved by his father, he grew up happy and unattached to most material possessions. His first love and chief joy is music, and his most prized objects his instruments, of which he owns many. He has had, of course, many a love besides that, and he enjoys many other pleasures- if asked what he wants in life, until recently he probably would answer "Wine, women, and song, although not necessarily in that order.” As such, his patron god (although he is not strongly affiliated with any) is Aphrodite.
The news of war, however, brought along with it the loss of much of his father’s holdings and the disappearance of his sister Amy, a soldier stationed at one of the destroyed cities. Abesh, already fiercely patriotic but vague on what one does if one wants to be heroic, has sought out one Thomas Reaver, a man of whom he has heard many tale- he is a madman, a brave man, a liberator- and would fain serve him.
Notes:
Fine Tuning makes an instrument Masterwork for 1 minute/level. Percussion creates sounds of drums for 5 minutes/level. They’re both from Song and Silence.
If possible, I’d like to use the rules from song and silence that each instrument, if masterwork and used by someone with Bardic Music ability, either modifies an existing Bardic Music effect or create an entirely new one. Assuming that you allow this rule, the instruments I use do the following, respectively:
Fiddle- Can maintain two different bardic music effects at once, i.e, both fascinate a foe and inspire courage.
Harmonica- Warms the hearts of Common People. Fir 1d6 hours after a performance, gain +4 to Bluff, Diplomacy, Disguise, and Gather Information among them, and -4 to intimidate.
Tabor (a drum worn around the neck)- when inspiring courage, +4 against fear but +0 against charm.
Trumpet- When inspiring courage, damage to attack and to damage increases to +2, but the bonus against charm is reduced to +0.
Shawm (a flute- like instrument)- as Harmonica, but among the aristocratic.
Magic Items:
+1 Ring of Protection
+2 Bracers of Armor
Cloak of Resistance +1
Hand of the Mage (keeps concealed in public)
Wand of Monster Summoning 2 (50 charges)
Quiver of Ehlonna (for wands, staves and rods)
(Total cost for magic is 14,300 GP)
Talisian De'Artain is an elf Necromancer. (6th level neutral good)
He is the illegitimate son of the vizier to the Realms of Ukko's ruler. He has been thrown out of his father’s house for falling in love with the daughter of the king of the Jormungand Wasteland. He is very un-elfish in the fact that he has no problem being around barbarians and the "lower classes".
Tal (as he is called) specializes in Conjuration spells (not as a school specialization. just a preference) and is always looking to perfect his art. His main objective will be to bring the Realms and the Wasteland together as a fighting force.
The reason he is a Necromancer is that he was raised in the outlands in a town called Quinath.
Quinath is a town run by a kindly necromancer who wanted to create a place where people could come and commune with their loved ones who had passed on. Tal was born there and did not know who his father was until his 85th birthday. Tal sees necromancy as a way to improve the lives of both the living and the dead. He would never use evil spells.

Born to Arnbull Mac Morn of the Clan Mac Morn of Caer Eurodynne, Finnegan was
destined to assume the Mantle of Clan Chief following his father and all of his
Forefathers before him as Guardian of the Northern Marches. Not only were the
Mac Morn's engaged in ceaseless war with the Goblin tribes of the North, but they
were also, quite secretly, involved in a war to undermine the corrupt Emperor. All
this changed when, on the eve of his 13th birthday, a vicious attack by Clan
Druagh (Loyalist forces allied with the Kelt Emperor) caused havoc among Clan
Mac Morn. Nearly all of the Clan was killed or hauled off to face slavery, torture or
worse at the hands of the Druagh and the Emperor's Crellaigh (Lawkeepers).
Finnegan would have suffered a similar fate, had not Auldurveg (his father's
Advisor) spirited the youth away to the care of allies to the South. Under the
tutelage of Agents in a half dozen cities, Finnegan grew wise in the ways of
Stealth, Intrigue and War. The young boy grew into a young Man on raids against
the Emperor's tax collectors, his favored Merchant Houses and even against his
Crellaigh. There came a day when Auldurveg returned to the young Mac Morn,
bearing a parcel wrapped in bear fur. Within the furs was a Sword both long of
blade and handle.
'This is Brellaign, your father's blade. I returned North when I had delivered you
and found the Sword lying in the charred ruins of Caer Eurodynne.
'Brellaign…' Finnegan mused, 'Dawn-Hand'.
'It is time for you to take up your father's blade, Finn…and to receive the calling
of Frelnyr, Patron God of the Clan Mac Morn.'
And so Auldurveg brought to Finnegan his Birthright, and set him upon a most Dire
and Fell course, for his Wyrrd was to challenge and destroy the Emperor himself.
Now Auldurveg has sworn himself to Finnegan, and the young Finnegan has set
out to defeat his Nemesis. Traveling abroad in the hopes of gaining allies,
Finnegan has embarked on a Path that might take years or even decades to
accomplish, but he is a patient man.
Finnegan currently has lives under the guise of 2 Aliases: The Elven Painter
Aelnarim Thelarios and the Kelt Actor Crolmyr Mac Brogyln .
He rents an apartment as Aelnarim and owns a modest house as Crolmyr in
separate parts of the 'City' (wherever the game starts).
Finnegan uses the house as his Base of Operations for his men as well, these
posing as 'servants' for the moderately affluent Actor.
Finnegan's attitude towards his Cohorts, troops and servants (if any) is dutiful
and loyal. Finn will risk his life to save one of his men as soon as look at them.
This is a trait ingrained by his father in his readying the young Finnegan for
Leadership of the Clan.
