Mossaka The Drogre (Velenne)
Mossaka
Male Half-ogre Half-Dragon (white) (ECL +4) Barbarian 1; Large-size Dragon;
HD 1d12+5 (17 hp); Init +0 (+0 Dex); Spd 40 ft. Fly 40 (Average) AC 24 (10 base +8 natural +6 armor +1 deflection -1 size; touch 17, flat-footed 24); Atk +11/+9/+9 melee (Bite/Claw/Claw; 1d8+11, 1d6+5); SA Rage, Cone of Cold (3d6; Ref 16 Half); SQ Cold Immune, Giant Blood; AL CG; SV Fort +7, Ref +0, Will ?1; Str 32, Dex 10, Con 20, Int 7, Wis 9, Cha 10.
Languages: Common, Giant, Draconic
Skills: Swim +13, Jump +15, Climb +13; Feats: Multiattack.
Gear: +1 Mithral Breastplate [5,000], Boots of Spider Climbing [2,000], Ring of Protection +1 [2,000].
Background: Tychorwakovilak had lived for four centuries before he, the Frozen Heart of the North, had amassed enough power to begin the transfiguration of the ogres whom he had subjugated after years of warfare. Having stayed his white-scaled hand during the war between the ogres and humans, he had placed himself in excellent position to descend upon the weakened victor. And so he had.
With nearly a hundred ogres under his sole command, the white wyrm chose his first subject. The human woman was said to carry ogre progeny and so he hoped this first creature would be given the best traits of its parents, as well as his own cunning and ferocity.
He was sorely disappointed.
How the dragon gnashed his sword-like teeth as the monstrosity that was Mossaka grew to be a simple, gentle giant. In truth, it seemed the vile creature had inherited nothing from any of his parents but brute strength and an alarm capacity to kill when he wanted to. Well, he would be good for something at least. Though he was worshipped among the ogres, Mossaka could never keep his attention on anything for long and never found any true friends amongst his people. In the deepest part of one winter, as Tychorwakovilak lay as he did for months at a time, Mossaka took flight into the frigid winds and made his way south, never to be heard from again.
DM Comments: 4 more Skill points, 1000 gp unspent.

Sasaki grew up in the service of his Daimyo Miramotu Kenji, serving as a Samurai in the Celestial Court. He is the very model of a warrior following the code of Bushido.

Rogue Abilities: Sneak Attack +2d6, Evasion, Uncanny Dodge.
Elf Traits: +2 to saves versus Enchantments, Immune to Sleep spells and effects,
Low light vision, +2 on Listen, Search, and Spot checks, Automatic search check within 5'.
Gear: +1 Mighty (+2) Whip Dagger [1625], Whip, +1 Breastplate [1350], Slippers of spider climbing [2000], Heward's handy haversack [2000], Longsword, Composite Longbow, 60 arrows, 2 vials of antitoxin, bedroll, marble w/Continual Flame cast on it, 5 pieces colored chalk (white, red, yellow, blue, black), 1 grappling hook, 250' rope, 10' pole, 4 tanglefoot bags
Background: Tenos was brought up on the streets by a fagin, who used him primarily to prep the escape routes for the other children. One day, a band of slavers bought most of the children off the fagin - and Tenos helped them escape. While under the slavers, he came to hate their whips, but realized the supreme irony in using their own weapons against them, and decided to master the use of the whip.
Tenos has become a minor thorn in the side of many slaver organizations, and he is beginning to gain a bit of a reputation - something that will bite him if he's not careful.

Background: Just one hundred years ago, Saaran was a thriving world, not much different than most others. It was covered by rich blue oceans and verdant green forests, and was populated by many different races. It was also one hundred years ago when the Great Star was first seen. Some seers claimed it was a terrible omen, but few put much stock in such silly notions made by obvious madmen. Soon after, the Great Star plummeted to the earth, smashing into the cold north with such an impact that it was eventually felt by even those in the southern kingdoms.
Today, Saaran is dying. The very earth is blowing itself apart, with even long-dormant volcanoes erupting almost constantly. Plague and famine have spread across the land with terrifying speed, and the sky is so filled with ash that even on the clearest and brightest days the sky is a dull gray. Terrible monsters that before only dared to lurk deep beneath the surface are now walking the land preying on whatever they can find, and the goblinoid races have laid siege on every patch of civilization left standing.
There is little hope left for the people of Saaran. Those few with the power to escape into the planes vanished long ago, leaving little of worth behind them.
Kaalek Vesh was an apprentice to one of these archmages. He was left behind long ago, and ever since has been frantically researching whatever he can to find a way to escape Saaran. Though he's long been certain that the planes are his key, so little information is left that this research is frustratingly difficult. He is almost ready to give up completely and accept his fate...
Description: Kaalek Vesh is a male human with dark skin (he is often mistaken for either a drow or half-drow), a shaved head, and pale blue eyes. Though he is actually quite frail (the price of malnourishment and ash-filled air), it isn't readily apparent due to his voluminous robes. He usually wears a thick scarf that covers his mouth and nose (to help filter out ash and smoke), and is often hunched over a gnarled black staff. He is almost always accompanied by his familiar, a strange creature that appears to be a miniature beholder with four eyestalks.

Description: Banwyl has tan, weathered skin from years of long, hard travel. His black hair is always kept to a bare stubble and his body is trim and fit but solid. Quiet and serene, Banwyl is often the calm presence in the eye of a storm.
Background: Banwyl is an Arbiter, one of an small but trusted order of peacekeepers who has been awarded the autonomy to bring peace and justice to the wild and lawless areas of his homeland. Arbiters are rigorously trained in matters of the mind, the body and most importantly the soul in order that they may better tame the wild and protect the innocent. Traveling on his own from settlement to settlement, Banwyl has established a reputation of being fair in his judgments and swift in implementing them. But even the best lawmen gain their share of enemies. Banwyl often feels that it is just a matter of time before he runs across an evil he cannot best. However, his grim dedication to the law and his belief in equality for all help him overcome any doubts he might have.

Description: Banwyl has tan, weathered skin from years of long, hard travel. His black hair is always kept to a bare stubble and his body is trim and fit but solid. Quiet and serene, Banwyl is often the calm presence in the eye of a storm.
Background: Banwyl is an Arbiter, one of an small but trusted order of peacekeepers who has been awarded the autonomy to bring peace and justice to the wild and lawless areas of his homeland. Arbiters are rigorously trained in matters of the mind, the body and most importantly the soul in order that they may better tame the wild and protect the innocent. Traveling on his own from settlement to settlement, Banwyl has established a reputation of being fair in his judgments and swift in implementing them. But even the best lawmen gain their share of enemies. Banwyl often feels that it is just a matter of time before he runs across an evil he cannot best. However, his grim dedication to the law and his belief in equality for all help him overcome any doubts he might have.
