PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Norbrit keeps his long red hair and beard loose and tangled--and dirty; like most dwarves baths are few and far between. He is gruff in both appearance and attitude, and sees no need in wasting time pondering over a situation when you can just kick down a door and see what's on the other side.
BACKGROUND
After some family disagreements in Clan Nogginsplitter, Norbrit has decided to take a break from it all and venture out on his own. He's sure he'll go back some day, but in the long life of a dwarf, that could still be some years off.

Character Backstory
Thedren was inducted into the Church of the Healing Light at the age of 10, when his parents were injured and lost their business to a fire, and were unable to provide for their children. His other siblings were found apprenticeships with various artisans, but Thedren tested successfully with the Church and was initiated into the mysteries of the faith.
However, Thedren soon ran afoul of the instructors and others whose dogma was not in line with the doctrine they were teaching. Thedren, unable to keep quiet about the discrepancies, instead found himself branded a troublemaker and was inches away from being tossed out of the Church.
Instead, by some unknown intervention, he found himself transported to an isolated monastery at the age of 14. There, Thedren found himself in the company of other ‘undesirables’ of the Church; alcoholics, heretics, thieves, and liars. Still, it was a place where one could speak their mind without being punished, and Thedren found others like himself who spoke out against excesses and doctrinal abuses. They taught him the true path of the Church, in line with the teachings of the saints.
Twenty years Thedren spent at that monastery, learning about the Church and warring with his rage against those who had sent him there. He honed his body and his skills, learning the arts martial from those who would teach him. About a year ago, he felt he had a vision, from a force unrecognizable, telling him to go forth into the world and seek out those who would destroy the Church. With the (admittedly drunken) blessing of the Monastery’s master, Thedren set forth to find the enemies of his faith.
Thedren is often at odds with himself. On one hand, he has the teachings and true doctrine of the Church, as he learned them in exile. On the other hand, he has a quick and sharp tongue that does not often hesitate to point out hypocrisy and failings in people’s faith. He is still learning to control himself, and to not be so critical of others. His vision has confirmed his faith in the saints, and he often meditates on their messages and actions.

Nemaer was born in a large city, the bastard offspring of a prostitute. Always quick and intelligent, he grew to be an asset to the madame of the brothel he grew up in, often stealing valuable trinkets and information.
In his teens, he began working with a street gang that controlled the docks of the city he was from. The gang's leader, Bartus, soon learned that Nemaer was a valuable asset and began teaching him the ways of rogues and burglars. In one of his more elaborate schemes, he framed a local jeweler for a crime he didn't commit so that Nemaer and his crew could rob the jeweler's business.
Now, as an adult, Nemaer wishes to make a name for himself. His skill with stealth and his quick wit makes him invaluable to the mercenary crews or gangs that he teams up with.[/SBLOCK]

Character Backstory:
Herger Sigismundson was only 5 when his tribe was wiped out by an Orc warband. He survived by throwing himself into the freezing river near the village and was swept several miles downstream. Freezing and on the point of death, the small boy way found by a convoy of priests on their way to Threshold to serve at the church there. The priests of the Healing Light tended to him over the next week while he battled fevers and his own tortured memories of the loss of his family. One priest in particular, Brother Ethelstaan, took the boy under his care.
Several years passed and the boy, now almost a man, entered the service of the Healing Light and studied as an acolyte before taking his vows and becoming a priest. A devout man, he always seeks to aid those who need his help, especially those who share his faith. But some of the barbarian child survived and his heart thirsted for adventure, no quiet cloistered life for him, on the field of battle there would be many who would need his aid.
Herger is very clinical in his approach to medical care, those that can be helped will be given the best care he can provide. Those who are too far gone, or enemies, will find the quick release of his blade. For sometimes, to heal a patient one must take a limb or even a life to save the whole. Like most of his profession he believe that cleanliness is a good precurssor to health in general and despite his savage, tattooed appearance, he always tries to maintain a certain standard of cleanliness.

Physical Appearance:
Laron is a thin half elf, 5 feet tall, and weighs 140 pounds. He has pale skin, gold eyes and dark brown hair.
Backstory:
Laron never knew his father, and his elven mother died when his sorcerous powers started manifesting as a toddler. He later learned that he was responsible for her death, shock-grasping her during a toddler's tantrum. His elven family forsook him, and left him to be raised by a human monastery. He has not yet gotten over the guilt of his mother's death and has never had the courage to meet his elven kin.
He left the monastery quite young, preferring the compamy of bards and minstrels, with abilities closer to his. He recently heard that the secrets and riches of the Caverns of Quasqueton could be up for grabs. This is an opportunity too good to pass.

[/sblock][sblock=Appearance, personality and background] PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
A large, muscular dwarf with a bald head and a big black beard with silver skull-shaped beads woven into it, Ragnar is an impressive sight. His arms, chest and part of his head are covered in blueish tattoos, at least where his skin is not marred by the many scars of battle. A near-maniacal grin is usually seen on his face, revealing a few missing teeth.
Dressed only in boots and a red-and-blue kilt, Ragnar carries a huge two-handed maul, carved with runes and images of goblin heads being crushed. When in the company of others, Ragnar often wears a fur-lined cloak; not out of any modesty, but at the insistence of his dwarven kin, who did not wish to look upon a half-naked warrior outside combat.
PERSONALITY Traits: I face problems head-on (sometimes literally); a simple, direct solution is often the best path to success. Also, I have a crude sense of humor and I love fighting. Ideal: To fight without fear and to die in battle defending the good in this world. Bond: Those who fight beside me are those worth dying for. Flaw: I am rude and do not see the value of diplomacy and tact.
BACKGROUND
Ragnar was part of the elite dwarven battlerager squad The Bloody Badgers – a glorious but often short career, as far as dwarf armies go. Recently Ragnar was the only survivor of his squad, after a particularly gruesome battle with goblins, and decided to leave his clan for a while to get a taste of life outside the tunnels. That is how he came to hear rumors about the Caverns of Quasqueton and its supposed riches. If only he could gather some likeminded adventurers to investigate...[/sblock]
