Background

Bruder is dead, he just doesn't know it yet. Not "dead" as in the gangster movie "You're a dead man, Bruder!" "dead". But "dead" as in not living at this time.

Of course there are lots of things that Bruder does not know. How to calculate a price-earnings ratio. The difference between Merlot and Shiraz. Angela Jolie's phone number. Useful things to know, certainly. But not quite as ... significant.

He does know that things got pretty f**ked up recently. He knows that since then he can't seem to get his eyes to focus properly on people. He keeps seeing double, like those shadowy images, but with the colours all out of wack, that you get on your TV when the tuning is out. And he doesn't breath any more. He can if he thinks about it, but when he stops thinking about it, he stops breathing. And his heart stops beating. He hasn't been to a doctor because, quite frankly, he doesn't know what to say. "Hi Doc. I don't seem to be breathing and my heart keeps stopping."

And then there is the sword. It looks kind of like a Japanese katana, but more industrial. He took it down to an antique shop one time, but the way the guy in the shop acted was kreepy. Or perhaps it was the colours. So he took it back and fled. He wished that he hadn't gone there now, the sense that he was being followed and watched started soon after that. The sword is under the couch now.

But give the guy a break. If you woke up each day, shat, showered and shaved, you wouldn't think that you were dead, would you. The old lady down at the little corner shop still calls him "dearie". The hookers down the street still ask him if he wants a little company. The customers at the bike shop still keep trying to hang around and make suggestions while he is working on their bikes.

What would you think?

To top it off, its hasn't been Bruder's month. He has been having some bad dreams lately. Faces and voices, deamons from his past haunt him, taunt him. Each morning he wakes up exausted, the sheets damp with sweat. And his motor contral is going to s**t. The other day he couldn't ge a bl**dy cigarette out of the softpack. He got so pissed off that eventually just ripped the pack apart, along with most of the cigarettes inside.

Bruder's currrent motor control is the residual from his living life. But he is gradually losing that. He has to learn how to control his actions through his spirit. Its a difficult task, and many fail. The dreams are the manifestation of the Ghjost Walker who is trying to guide Bruder to mastery. They are dark and violent because Bruder is resisting them.

Notes/Ideas/Possibilities:

Each night Bruder has to make some sort of DC check to see if he has mastered the lesson. Initial lessons would be focused on gaining control and arresting the decay. Lessons then progress onto mastery which can lead to a level of physical ability beyond what originally existed. Perhaps there are a succesion of DC checks of increasing difficulty. Enhancement would be quite difficult.

The sword is a manifestation from the ghost world. A talisman or avatar. Bruder was big into manga and anime as a kid, particulaly anything samurai related. His mastering of the spirit mastery need to survive is not going well as he is reluctant to handle the sword.

APPEARANCE
Hoegor is a little shorter and leaner than most Barbarians. He has a stern face, slightly craggy features set around a classic roman nose. But he easily breaks into a smile in conversation.

Hoegor continues to wear the traditional barbarian fur cloak. Underneath he wears a jacket and wool pants. His long hair is pulled back and tied with rag and plastered with white mud in the tradition of his people.

Everything he has has a slightly old, out of style look. His short sword and spear are much the same as his ancestors would have used when the Barbarians were ransacking the Old Empire. Most of his stuff is indeed old, handed down through his family, maintained and repaired, tried and tested.

If come across while travelling, Hoegor will as likely be found moving on foot, with his horse and dogs in tow.

BACKGROUND
Hoegor father was a member of a Barbarian guard, and as soon as Hoegor was old enough he followed his father's footsteps. Not a particularly capable fighter, he relies on his wits and speed to prevent others from getting the jump on him in combat. These skills made him quite effective as a guard.

Hoegor developed a real respect for the loyal, gentle, massive Mastiffs that helped guard the castle and animals. He spent a considerable amount of time with the Kennel Master developing his skills at training dogs. He bought and trained two puppies of his own - Storm and Teeth. He often spent days roaming the hills and forests around the city when they got old enough.

Hoegor also got drawn into the politics of the city and he stumbled across a plot against his guard's patron, and while he was unable to prevent the assination of the patron, his knowledge enabled the guards to protect the family and ensure the son's succession.

In return Hoegor was offered many things, but he reqested to be given a year to travel the world. It was granted. Before leaving, Hoegor purchased an aging Warhorse, Godsfoot, from one of the Captains of the Cavalry. Godsfoot got his name from his ability to keep his feet and flatten foes in battle. Two days later, in the cold halflight of dawn, he slipped through the gates with his horse and two massive dogs, and was gone. That was a month ago.[/sblock]

Appearance

A little shorter and a little stockier than average, he wears a straw hat shaped like a wide upturned bowl and a knee length cloak that has no parting at the front.

When travelling, a staff will be found in his right hand and, sometimes, his hat in his left, revealing closely cropped black hair. On his back is a pack, from which hangs a heavy, and heavily decorated, crossbow. It is attached by a strip of cloth, knotted in such a way that would seem to allow quick removal.

Background

Xiao is a bastard. His father was a Merchant Explorer who arrived on their shores. For a year he and his crew lived amoung Xiao's people as they traded and filled their holds. He took a woman. Or she took him. The stories were unclear on that point. Evasive almost. He left. He took some artifacts from the shrine, but left the woman.

Xiao only vaguely remembers his mother. A wild, wonderful, dark, dangerous presence in his past. He was brought up by various aunts and uncles, but mostly by the monks at the shrine, where he spent most of his boyhood years.

He found out about the artifacts after he was accepted. He set off to find his father and return the artifacts some time after that.[/sblock]

APPEARANCE

Telic is shorter than average, relatively thin, with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. He carries a large greatsword slung over his back in a travel stained sheath and generally wears a dusty cloak which might once have been white but is now tan from mud, dust, and wear. The cloak has a few patches in it where has been mended.

PERSONALITY

Telic is a very likeable person, good natured and kindly. He is quite rash, and prone to leap into battle without considering the odds if someone's personal freedom is at stake. His time on the road has left him with a large collection of stories which he brings out at the slightest provocation. Underneath his laughing exterior however, Telic is devoted to the cause of liberation, willing to fling himself headlong into any situation to rescue people. His chaotic nature has occasionally gotten him into trouble with the Guard, but rarely on any serious offence.

BACKGROUND

Telic's parents were never known to him, as his mother, too poor to support him, left him on the doorstep of a temple of Olidamarra. Raised in the company of such people, Telic developed an intense devotion to the cause of freedom. Being raised in a temple (however undevout it might seem at times) left him with profound religious convictions, and so rather than becoming a more "traditional" disciple of Olidamarra (read: rogue), he decided to devote his life to the ideals of freedom through a more holy path, and took up a sword as a liberator.

When he was 17, after having been on the road "fighting the good fight" for about 2 years, he fell in with a group called "Daedalus," a wandering circus which served as cover for a group of anti-slavery fighters composed mainly of rogues. He worked with Daedalus for 7 years, ostesibly as a hostler and guard for the circus, in reality providing the muscle for some of their operations.

Some trouble with the guard involving a death led the organization to temporarily break up, going a little lower profile for the time to avoid notice. Telic has taken up the life of a wandering musician since then as cover for his activities.[/sblock]

Appearance:
Sylinda is a pretty girl with beautiful golden locks and piercing green eyes. Her skin has a dark tan that seems to imply many days under the sun. She carries almost nothing with her, save a walking stick, a simple dagger, and three vials. All else is naught but the clothes on her back. There is also a hint of the fey about her, a glint in her eyes, the lightness of her step, nothing definable, but there is a sense that Sylinda has a connection with the wild and fey places of the world.

Personality:
Quick to laugh, Sylinda spends much of her time being amused at the world around her. She has a great love for and desire to preserve the natural world. She loves animals of all kind, and holds a special place in her heart for birds. She is a fierce combatant and wielder of spells on behalf of the natural world, seeking to defend it from those who would defile it. She especially abhors undead in all their forms as they are aberrations from the natural cycle.

Background:
Sylinda's mother Kirlinda was a member of a secret group of druids sworn to protect the natural world from evil and aberration. This secretive group was made up only of female druids who bound themselves together through the shape of a swan. Never knowing her father, Sylinda was raised among these women when they gathered and alone by her mother when they were apart from the group. Her whole life has been one of nature and guarding nature from evil. Sylinda joined the druidic circle as soon as she was able and from there was able to serve the woodlands

There came a day when the fight got the best of her mother, and she was lost in a battle against undead that Sylinda barely survived. Knocked unconscious and dragged from the battle by her mother's friends, Sylinda swore to strive against all manner of undead for the rest of her life. With this vow she was accepted into the secret order of her mother, in her mothers place. She then began her quests to slay undead within and surrounding the Blackpine forest.

The only contact that she has with "civilized" humans are the occational traders and adventurers she encounters within the forests. An old companion of her mother's named Orshallan is her only contact in any city that she maintains. Her mother told Sylinda to seek him out and tell him if her mother ever passed on, and she did though it brought her much grief to recount the tale. Since then they have kept on amicable terms, Orshallan writes to check up on her, though how he manages to get messages to her in the midst of the forest continues to baffle Sylinda.

In her travels she met and befriended a unicorn named Bellona. Only Sylinda having lived within the natural world her whole life does not realize the exceptional nature of this friendship. The accompany one another on their travels, except for the occational trip to the city, Bellona will not go there, and neither wouls Sylinda ask her to. The druidic council saw her remarkable friendship and granted her a grove and large protectorate within the Blackpine forest, hoping that the unicorn Bellona saw something within Sylinda that indicated greatness.[/sblock]

APPEARANCE
Age: 23 * Height: 1'78" * Weight: 83lb
Eyes: Grey * Hair: Shaved * Skin: Fair

Derrich is a fairly average looking human male. His features aren't horrible but again his appearance is nothing especially memorable. He has an athlete's build, broad shoulders with a narrow waist and lean but defined musculature. His head and face are completely shaved to avoid the chance of entanglement in anything. His eyes are a piercing dark grey. He has a few scars on his lower back from a knife fight in his Academy days and a 119th Imperial TIE Wing insignia tattooed on the right side of his upper back. He keeps the tattoo in remembrance of where he came from. His short stature is good for a fighter pilot, being able to fit in the cramped cockpits of whatever he's currently flying.

When expecting combat he wears his subdued combat jumpsuit modeled after the sneak suits worn by the Spec Force Infiltrators. Normally however he has a wide wardrobe of various and sundry outfits, usually consisting of loose pants and a variety of shirts. When necessary, he also has a suit or two for formal occasions.

BACKGROUND

Born to a minor merchant family, Derrich spent much of his youth traveling around the Core in various transports. From a young age he showed a natural inclination for space flight, spending hours a day honing his skills in simulators of all kinds. This training paid off as he was accepted to the Imperial Pilot Academy. He graduated with honors and served shortly as an officer in a TIE squadron before the racist and heinous actions of the Empire became clear to him. Deserting as soon as he could, Derrich bounced around the Rim for a few months before making contact and joining the Rebels. He wanted to serve in the fighter ranks, but his higher ups ended up assigning him to an Infiltrator unit where he served as both pilot and the walking database on Imperial procedures.

His unit was very successful for several missions until a sabotage run on an Imperial space station went bad. Three members of the squad had been compromised and turned traitor to the Imperial side, leaving Derrich and his Sullusten commander to fight for their lives an in attempt to escape the station. The commander died in the running firefight but Derrich managed to make it back to the ship they'd come in and using his piloting skills was able to escape.

Upon returning to the Alliance though, the Rebel Intelligence didn't buy his story of being betrayed and arrested him on charges of betraying his team. Luckily, he was believed by a few other Rebels who managed to smuggle him out before he could be executed. Once again Derrich found himself alone on the Rim, working as a freelance mercenary and pilot, holding only that whatever work he did had to be detrimental to the Empire. For the past few months he has been waging his own private war, and recently finished up a smuggling job taking medical supplies to a Rebel cell. His employers dropped him off on Clak'Dor VII as he awaits his next move.[/sblock]
