~~~~~~~

Appearance:
Corby makes for an unusual sight in his wide-brimmed hat, loose shirt, leather breeches and gloves, and fine cloak. He says he's "dashing and daring" - others have their own opinions. Still, few forget the strangely-dressed halfling with the long, limp black hair and piercing grey eyes.

Personality:
Outside of his adventuring companions, Corby is dapper and charming as a snake-oil salesman. When interacting with his friends, though, Corby is a completely different person. He teases, grumbles, mutters, and complains relentlessly - especially when the "bigs" get in his way in combat - but he would gladly sacrifice his life for theirs. It is his greatest regret that he was unable to save the companion that Bargle had murdered in the past, and his greatest desire to see Bargle pay for it - slowly.

Background:
Corby was born to escaped Cheliaxian slaves; they fled the country with no money to their name and no livelihood other than menial tasks. As a result, Corby grew up on the streets of Korvosa, living from one meal to the next. Frequently he had to steal food to survive, and, indeed, it was theft that robbed him of his parents. They were caught pilfering items from a pawn shop to pay for rent on their small dwelling and given little mercy by the Korvosan justice system. The judge they pulled was not as inclined to mercy as some others, and his parents were both imprisoned for five years each. They died there, and Corby was left to his own devices.
On his own, Corby quickly fell into the company of the less reputable gangs and organizations in the city, but his remarkable luck kept him out of serious trouble. He always seemed to be away when the Cerulean Society's tax collectors came calling, or when an angry mob formed, or when a rival gang moved in for the kill. Eventually, though, he got a reputation for just that, and only a tip from a friendly baker's wife who had taken to leaving some bread out for him in the evenings got him out of the city ahead of the hunting party that was after him.

~~~~~~~

Appearance:
Lanandro has the classic dark hair and tan olive skin of the Varisians. He keeps his hair really long as he likes the feeling of the wind blowing through them. His usual outfit is simple leather boots, wool breeches, wool shirt and a warm cloak to protect against the cold. He also has numerous scarves of many bright colors that stand out with the rest of his clothes.

Personality:
Lanandro is prone to rapid mood swings. He's quick to anger but he also makes fast friends and smiles often. He hates remaining in one place for too long, prefering the nomad ways of his people.

Background:
Lanandro was part of a wandering group of Varisian amongst who a natural gift to control the weather and the elements was somewhat common. It was clear at an early age that Lanandro shared this gift and the clan's elders started to train him the focus and control necessary to wield this power correctly. Lanandro's life changed drasticly a few weeks before the passing of age ritual that was to mark his passage into manhood and give him permission to use his power freely. While the clan's caravan was parked near the great city of Korvosa, they were wrongfully accused of abducting the daughter of some noble. The Chelaxians need little reason to hate and attack the Varisians. Indeed, a bunch of knights from the Order of the Nail raided their caravan. They killed or captured most of the clan. Lanandro was one of the few that escaped. He only stayed in Korvosa long enough to learn that his captured clanmates were trialed, executed or sold to slavery. He has wanted revenge ever since.

Lanandro soon realized that his clan must have been made the scapegoat of some political intrigue in Korvosa. Being just a young unproven sorcerer, he knew he couldn't do much on his own and he simply wandered from an hamlet to the next. His break came many years later when he join a adventuring party. They had a few adventures and eventually meet an Acadamae graduate named Bargle. For the retrieval of a tome from the Mushfens, he promised them many things including some information about who had made his clan a scapegoat. Lanandro didn't trust the Chelaxian but he had to pursue this lead. He was right to be apprehensive as Bargle turn out to be a treator. They survived the ambush he prepared but not before one of their number was killed. Lanandro now has two reasons to hunt down Bargle. He wants to avenge their lost party member and possibly get the promised information out of him.

Background: Thieren lived in Janderhof, learning the art of armorsmithing, and the worship of Torag. He was widely respected for the promise he showed in both areas. One day, the Forge-Priests summoned him into their presence. There they told him of an ancient suit of armor, sacred to Torag and his followers. This armor had been lost for centuries, having disappeared while in the possession of Graelen Frostbeard, a dwarven paladin of Torag, while he adventured in the distant Malgorian mountains. They told him that he had been chosen to search for that suit of armor, to make its recovery his life's work.

Leaving Janderhof, Thieren searched for any clue of Graelen's path. While in the city of Nybor, Thieren met a scholar of some local renown. This scholar, Bargle, claimed to have some information, and offered to help Thieren's search. He explained that he needed funds to secure the tomes that would guide their search, and thus recruited Thieren for his adventure into the Mushfens. On this journey, Thieren came to respect, and even admire, Bargle's other employees, so much so that when Bargle betrayed them, he decided to stay with them and search the traitor out, rather than return directly to his search.

An exceptionally ugly Varisian, Jorrayl has a rodentine face dominated by a broken nose that overwhelms all the other features. Half of his face is marred by livid burns where a series of the typical Varasian tatoos appear to have been removed. He almost always appears significantly shorter than his six feet due to a habitual crouching stance. His clothing tends towards the drab and utilitarian, and he generally fades well into the background.

A member of the Varisian criminal brotherhood known as the Sczarni Jorrayl has lead a hard life. Orphaned in Sandpoint at the tender age of ten he was forced into the life of a petty thief, which he took to like a duck to water. Ruthless and vindictive he soon acquired a reputation, earning his nickname "Snapper" after biting off an older boys lower lip when the older lad thought to rob him.

The tatoos applied by his mother had been his one pride and joy, but when he ran afoul of a young Chelaxian noble from Korvosa named Malden Kaltris. The young thief stole Kaltris's prized rapier, a masterwork blade which had been handed down through several generations. Kaltris hired a half dozen local thugs to revenge himself after tracking down and bribing the fence Jorrayl sold the unique blade to. Upon finding the young rogue Kaltris had him held down whilst he carefully burned off every last tatoo with several viles of acid.

Two years later in Korvosa a hardened Jorrayl woke to find the rogue's grizzly visage smiling down at him as the acid was poured down his throat. Jorrayl now carries the Chelaxian's heirloom in place of his own. He has only recently returned to Sandpoint and is now even more vicious and reckless than before.

Garvin Wanderer, Human Ranger 3

[sblock=Description]Garvin is a hard looking man, prematurely aged by weather and warfare. Some men achieve a sort of rugged dignity with such a lifestyle, Garvin just looks like he was too stubborn to give up and die when he was supposed to. He was never going to be a handsome man, but scars, wrinkles and a dour expression sealed the deal.[/sblock][sblock=Background]Garvin’s mother was a beautiful woman. A youthful indiscretion had left her with a son and no husband. She worked as best she could to support the family of two. Despite her life of hard work, and raising a child, she maintained her beauty.

Eventually she attracted the attention of a rich noble, who wanted to possess her. A dark man, he had a cruel streak to him, and it was rumored that he consorted with demons. Garvin’s mother spurned his advances, determined not to tie herself to such a man.

When his mother went missing, Garvin scoured the city, asking for any who had seen her, or had word of her whereabouts. But corruption ran deep in the Chelaxian cities. There were few who cared for the plight of one peasant boy, and most of the rest were terrified of the demon conjurer that everyone suspected was behind the disappearance.

Her body was found a month later, covered with evidence showing how much she suffered before she died. Garvin fled the city and home then, naming himself Wanderer. He abandoned the corrupt people, trading art and culture for a harsh life alone in the wilderness. He lived as he could, learning to fend for himself, and avoiding large concentrations of people. Life outside was brutal, but at least it was honest about it.

Garvin grew to manhood, but never lost his memories of his youth. He grew stronger, and fear gave way to anger. He takes a poor view of those who prey on the weak, and holds a particular contempt for any who would use magic as a weapon against the innocent. Recently he has heard tales of one such dark mage. . . Bargle.[/sblock]
