Nashrukk [NASH-rou-KAY] is a hell hound, a fire-breathing canines from the Baator, more precisely from the 4th circle Phlegethos of the 9 Hells. Nashrukk resembles a large hound with golden to red-brown fur and red, glowing eyes and a black mane. It has large snouts protruding from its mouth, often drippling acidic saliva. Its markings, teeth, and tongue are soot black. Nashrukk is large and muscular, standing 4 1/2 feet high at the shoulder (almost 7 feet long) and weighting over 300 lbs. It has a distinct odor of smoke and sulfur constantly emanating from him and the baying sounds it makes has an eerie, hollow tone that send a shiver through any who hear them. Nashrukk has a burned tattoed mark on the back of the head, tree triangles symbol of asmodeus made by its former master, a baatezu warlord named Gryzzi'yl. Nashrukk served in the blood war as a scout for the devil armies until the day he was brought out of its plane of existance onto the prime material plane by a mad wizard named Zircon, which perished almost immediatly after the summoning, at the hand of a band of orcs in some caves. The orcs captured the hell hound but couldn't keep it captive for long as it fled after setting fire to their huts. Nashrukk roamed the plains but found that no matter where he goes, people are affraid of him due to his odd appearance and connection to dangerous plane, except adventurers which tend to tolerate him and give him strange food, recognizing its superior intelligence and high lawfulness, making him a loyal companion despite its nature.

BACKGROUND
Jin Wei grew up in the streets, just another orphan in the mess of urchins. His size let him bully the smaller and get away with taking the best spoils for himself when he ran with the pack. One day Jin saw a sprig of a girl wearing silks and walking the streets alone. He meant to muscle the girl out of her money, but instead found out what an aspiring cleric's martial training can do to an untrained street kid. Instead of calling the guards, Xia helped Jin to his feet and gave him a silver coin. Realizing he'd been bested in not only strength but in spirit, he immediately swore his loyalty to Xia and promised to protect and serve her from that day forward. <snip long background> Eventually, he was allowed to train with the paladins of Xia's temple, and while he excelled in the physical aspects, he could never master the divine. Jin wears silks similar to Xia's over his chainmail, which was a gift from the paladins at the temple for his perserverence despite his lack of talent for the divine. His greatsword is well-used, bought third or fourth hand from a slum dealer, and covered in dents and chips from battle. Despite the sword's condition, he cares for it as if it were a family heirloom, polishing and honing it daily.
Jin is tall and well-muscled with a fair complexion. He is methodical in most aspects of his life, practicing his combat drills every morning and reading his book of Chang'e's teachings -- a gift from Xia -- each night before rest. He departs from this in one aspect: Xia herself. He will throw any caution aside if she asks it and would fight to the death by tooth and claw if necessary to protect her. Any insult towards her will bring Jin's hands to his sword, but a single word from Xia will also calm him.

BACKSTORY
Grimfun set out from his home in the Stone Mountains some months ago, to travel to the East Range Mountains. He is an emissary from his grandfather, who is seeking a trade agreement with Dwarf-Lord Filmûn Gold-Cracker. When he reached Redcott last week, he decided to stay for a short while to sample the local ales, which are famous far and wide for the strength of the brew. He took the King's Suite at the Laughing Kobold Arms, which was adequate. Now it is time to move on. Luckily, there is a caravan going his way so he can ride on a wagon to the next town and not have to get his boots dirty walking all the way.

Hm. I missed a couple things there, didn't I?
I did take Religion (from studying in the temple) and Survival (from growing up on the street) for the background's skills, and Perception as the bonus human skill.
I totally forgot to write down his tool proficiencies though, thanks!
I just finally got an idea for the background's trait too. You may just be a miracle worker!

Artun [ar-TON] was born in 1467 DR in Melvaunt in the Moonsea from a modest family of rug traders, the Felec. There he lived an ordinary life until he left to become a spy for the Harpers, passing himself as a fence in Phlan's underworld to do information gathering. Artun has long brown hair and eyes, a small goatee and a big hat adorning a bright red feather. He prides himself as one of the finest swashbuckler in the Moonsea, which often brings him into duel with other challengers who wants to prove him wrong. Artun is an acrobatic, agile combattant with loaded cockyness and disarming manners, which makes him popular among the ladies but not so much among rivals. He is prone to take risk being flamboyant, both in love affairs and other more dangerous situations.
Kursh Lowtone, Half-orc BardBACKGROUND (GUILD ARTISAN - Feature: Guild Membership)Kursh, a bastard child, was evicted from his home at 12 when his mother married a (very) minor nobleman. On the streets, he found employment at a guild cargo dock and eventually joined the guild as an apprentice woodcarver. At 15, a bard commissioned him specifically to do a detail on the front of a lute. The bard was so impressed with the work that he arranged a deal between the local college and the guild for instrument detailing and repair. The bard took Kursh under his wing and taught him how to play the lute and utilize his powerful baritone voice in song and speech.
Now Kursh travels under his guild's banner, using his entertainment (and intimidation if necessary) skills to secure contracts for the guild and wealth for himself. He is not one to start a fight, but he will happily end it with sword and spell. Though skilled in persuasion and deception, he does not use his skills to take advantage of good people. He sees no immorality in fleecing the corrupt or evil.Personality Traits: I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing right. I can’t help it -- I’m a perfectionist. I always want to know how things work what makes people tick.Ideal: Everyone should be free to pursue his or her own livelihood.Bond: I owe my guild a great debt for forging me into the person I am today.Flaw: I’m never satisfied with what I have -- I always want more.

He keeps his hair short and swept back and his beard trimmed neatly. Kursh’s eyes are green. Unlike most half-orcs, he has no scars proudly bore and the scars he does have, he keeps covered. He does not look down on the more barbaric of his kind, though they often do him.Kursh dresses smartly, in solid colors of silk (when not in armor) and uses accessories to catch his patrons’ eyes. His is fond of simple rings of precious metals, and has gold emerald earrings in both ears.

BACK STORY
TBD
Rekish, Dragonborn Monk
BACKGROUND (FOLK HERO — Feature: Rustic Hospitality)
Rekish grew up a ward of the monastery in a small town with an inconsequential name. Left by unwilling parents, orphan of war, or part of some great prophecy, she has never been told how she arrived.
Her draconic heritage obvious, her biological weapon had never manifested at the age of 16. On an overcast day, walking home to the temple from the village with food and supplies, she encountered a few seedy men harassing a woman and her two small children. As any good person might, Rekish tried to intervene, but was quickly overpowered by the bandits. Pinned and helpless, she could do nothing but watch while the other men began tearing at the woman’s clothes, her children frozen in terror. She felt a fury well up from inside of her and as she started to scream, a bolt of electricity crackled from her open jaws, mortally wounding the two would-be rapists. The third man ran in fright, freeing Rekish to help the woman and her children back to town.
Personality Traits: I judge people by their actions, not their words. If someone is in trouble, I’m always ready to lend help.Ideal: People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
Bond: I protect those who cannot protect themselves.
Flaw: I have trouble trusting in my allies.

DESCRIPTIONRekish is on the small side for a dragonborn but her ascetic lifestyle has left her lithe with corded muscles peeking through her thick hide. Her skin is a reddish bronze and her scales tinged with a bronzed blue on the outer edges. Her eyes are gleaming gold and glitter with ferocity when something upsets her.
Rekish dresses in simple traveler’s clothes and wears no jewelry aside of the simple iron hair ring of her monastic order, which she wears on a barbel instead.

Challenge 1 (200 XP)
Equipment. A shortsword, 4 daggers, a black leather harness, and a headband representing his clan.
Feat. Mobile: When Akazuma uses the Dash action, difficult terrain doesn't cost him extra movement on that turn. When he makes a melee attack against a creature, he doesn't provoke opportunity attacks from that creature for the rest of the turn, wheather he hits or not.
Proficiency. (+2) Akazuma is proficient with simple weapons, shortswords, and the drums.
Unarmored Defense. While Akazuma is wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, his AC is 15.
Martial Arts. Akazuma gains the following benefits while he is unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and he isn't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
Ki. Akazuma's training allows him to harness the mystic energy of ki. He has 3 ki points that he can spend on various ki features. When he spends a ki point, it is unavailable until he finishes a short or long rest, and the end of which he draws all of his expended ki back into himself. He must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain his ki points. Some ki features require his target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effect. That saving throw DC is 12.
Unarmored Movement. Akazuma's speed increases 10 ft. while he is not wearing armor or wielding a shield.
Deflect Missiles. Akazuma can use his reaction to deflect or catch the missle when he is hit by a ranged attack. When he does so, the damage he takes from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + 5. If he reduces the damage to 0, he can catch the missile if it is small enough for him to hold in his mouth and his mouth is free. If he catches a missile in this way, he can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition he just caught, as part of the same reaction. He makes this attack with proficiency and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack.
Ki Features: Akazuma has access to the following benefits when spending ki points:
ACTIONSBite or Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d4 + 3 piercing or bludgeoning damage.
Shortsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 + 3 piercing damage.
Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60, one target. Hit: 1d4 + 3 piercing damage.
Background. Outlander (Ninja clan)
Feature. Wanderer
Trait. I watch over my friends as if they were a litter of newborn pups. I once ran twenty-five miles without stopping to warn my clan of an approaching attack.
Ideal. Honor. If I dishonor myself, I dishonor my whole clan.
Bond. I am the last of my clan, and it is up to me to ensure their names enter legend.
Flaw. I remember every insult I've ever recieved and nurse a silent resentment toward anyone who's ever wronged me.
Akazuma (ah-KAZ-oo-ma) was selected as a pup, for his natural cunning and strength, to undergo one of the finest honors his clan could bestow. A ritual of magic was performed, giving him the intelligence of a man and the ability to speak. From then on he was a full fledged member of the clan, trained along side the other youths, and taught the secret art of Ninjitsu. Just like all members of the clan he was taught the use of the ninjatō (shortsword) and kunai (dagger), but without the ability to grasp a weapon he had to learn how to skillfully wield them using his jaws. He was also taught how to effectively use his natural weapons, his jaws and paws, to strike with more might than most would think possible. More than just martial training, he was also taught how to use the energy residing in his own body to acomplish great feats of speed and steath. This was all to prepare him for what would come next. War. His entire clan was a secret village that could be hired by those, with enough coin, that wished to wage a covert war on their enemies. Though they were soldiers for hire, the clan held to a strict code of honor. They would not kill innocents and wouldn't fight those they deemed unworthy to battle. This ultimately would be their undoing. While out on a solo mission he learned that a recently turned down lord had resented their rebuff and planned on slaughtering their village with his army. He raced home as fast as he could, but alas, he was too late. Though they fough hard, and afflicted many casualties to their enemy, the villige was murdered to the last man. Horrified and heartbroken, Akazuma did the only thing he could, he ran. Now he wanders, looking for those that he could call family again, and increasing his skills so he could one day return and exact his revenge on the merciless lord who slaughtered his people. Akazuma is a fierce warrior and still holds to his strict code of honor. As such, he is a stalwart protector of those he finds honerable and a savage enemy to those that would besmirch that honor.

And then I'd nickname him Chompy if he were in my party.

Whir wrote: Rekish, Dragonborn Monk BACKGROUND (FOLK HERO — Feature: Rustic Hospitality) Rekish grew up a ward of the monastery in a small town with an inconsequential name. Left by unwilling parents, orphan of war, or part of some great prophecy, she has never been told how she arrived. Her draconic heritage obvious, her biological weapon had never manifested at the age of 16. On an overcast day, walking home to the temple from the village with food and supplies, she encountered a few seedy men harassing a woman and her two small children. As any good person might, Rekish tried to intervene, but was quickly overpowered by the bandits. Pinned and helpless, she could do nothing but watch while the other men began tearing at the woman’s clothes, her children frozen in terror. She felt a fury well up from inside of her and as she started to scream, a bolt of electricity crackled from her open jaws, mortally wounding the two would-be rapists. The third man ran in fright, freeing Rekish to help the woman and her children back to town. Personality Traits: I judge people by their actions, not their words. If someone is in trouble, I’m always ready to lend help.Ideal: People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Bond: I protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Her skin is a reddish bronze and her scales tinged with a bronzed blue on the outer edges. Her eyes are gleaming gold and glitter with ferocity when something upsets her. Rekish dresses in simple traveler’s clothes and wears no jewelry aside of the simple iron hair ring of her monastic order, which she wears on a barbel instead. Rekish, Levels 1, 4, 8, 12, 16 & 20

Maes
BACKGROUND (CRIMINAL — Criminal Specialty: Infiltrator; Feature: Criminal Contact)Once the son of an up-and-coming noble, Maes has spent the last five years infiltrating and systematically killing a gang of hired thugs. A rival noble hired the gang to kidnap and torture Maes’s parents for information that could be used to discredit them. The gang took it too far, killing Maes’s father and then raping and beating his mother to death. Maes was beaten and left for dead as well.Laying in a gutter, bleeding internally, and waiting to die, Maes began to have visions. The visions were alien to him and he could not comprehend their meaning at the time. One recurring image kept him clinging to life: vengeance and the power to carry it out. And he wanted that power.When he woke again, he was still lying in the gutter, but his wounds had healed. He felt renewed vigor, as though the alien visions had granted him some new understanding and stamina. It has taken years since then, but he has finally executed the last of the gang. Now he looks for a new purpose and to learn more about the powers that he has been granted.Personality Traits: I always have a plan for what to do when things go wrong. I seethe at the slightest insult and plan my revenge on the fool.Ideal: I will avenge those who cannot avenge themselves, even if I have become evil to do so.Bond: I will return honor to my family’s name and bring down our rivals by any means necessary.Flaw: When faced with a choice between revenge and my allies, I always choose revenge.

The knobs of his elbows and knees tend to jut out from his clothing, giving him the appearance of a marionette with no strings.Though a traditional physical oddity, Maes has a clear grasp of fashion and usually dresses in fine clothing reminiscent of whatever society he finds himself among. He has a tattoo of an eye framed by strange symbols on the inside of his right wrist, a gift -- and brand -- from whatever being granted him his powers.

Chuck Dagger once had a partner, another rogue by the name of Poncho Cloak. Together, they were known as Poncho & Dagger. Poncho hasn't been seen around in a long time since a falling out between he and Chuck. Some say that Chuck set him up for a big fall because Poncho was always getting top billing when it came to notoriety on heists. Others say that Poncho tried to get in between him and his love, Vanciana Feyzalez. Chuck denies it all, but still has lingering feelings for Vanciana even though he had to leave her for her own protection.
Chuck is currently being sought by Marshal Heeling for a crime he most certainly did commit, but knows he might need the marshal's help for dealing with a bigger, more dangerous criminal soon to make big moves in the West.
For any decision or adjudication, ask yourself, "Is this going to be fun for everyone?" and "Is this going to lead to the creation of an exciting, memorable story?"

After a tryst with Glasya, Laznabog swore his loyalty to her unconditionally. He never fit into the world, but she accepted him and promised him great power. She taught him to hide his disdain for those around him, and learn to use others to serve their will. He practiced for years to construct a persona of a friendly emmisary from potentially hostile lands. The only person he is truely honest with is Glasya (even she is often absent), and his years of lies have led him to distrust the motivations of everyone else around him, everyone that would hate him if they knew he really was what their first instincts tell them.

Syl “Glory” Moonwave
BACKGROUND (ACOLYTE — Feature: Shelter of the Faithful)Determined not to let Syl’s infernal blood besmirch her legacy, her mother gave her over to the temple of Illmater at a young age. A venerated cleric of Illmater, Syl’s mother had her schooled in Illmater’s strictures. Eager to gain her mother’s acceptance, Syl studied hard, but could barely keep up with her peers.One grey morning, a trio of armored knights came riding into the grounds of Syl’s abbey, one wounded and needing the attention of a cleric. Syl ran to get her mother, who then healed the knight, a paladin of Tyr. The paladin gave Syl a small trinket, Tyr’s holy symbol on a thin metal chain, as thanks. After seeing the knights ride out in their gleaming, if slightly battered armor, Syl decided that her future lie not with Illmater, but with Tyr, under whom she could right the wrongs of injustice with might and steel, rather than prayers and soup.She followed the paladins back to their temple in Waterdeep and begged for admittance to their order. The paladin who had given her the trinket was impressed by her courage and sent word to Syl’s mother. When word came back that Syl, after abandoning her duties, had no place in her mother’s home, the paladin took her as a squire and taught her the ways of combat and Tyr’s unyielding justice.Personality Traits: I idolize a particular hero of my faith, and constantly refer to that person’s deeds and examples. I am tolerant of other faiths and respect the worship of other gods.Ideal: I seek to prove myself worthy of my god’s favor by matching my actions against his or her teachings.Bond: Everything I do is for the common people.Flaw: I constantly wonder if my actions would please my mother, with whom I am estranged.

DESCRIPTIONSyl’s bearing is that of a practiced warrior -- large, muscled, and proud. Her skin is a pale blueish (from her elf birthmother) darkening to a royal blue at the knees, elbows, palms, soles, spine, and the top of her tail. Her deep blue hair spills backwards, framing her tall rear-swept horns, and making her silver eyes even more striking.Syl is nearly always dressed in her chainmail and carrying her shield and hammer. When the situation demands, she wears fine loose-cut clothing in whites or light greys. She favors no jewelry or other fancy adornment, but always wears her signet ring, a mark of office from her temple in Waterdeep.
I took a minor liberty and made a gnomish warpick, which would have stats identical to a rapier (25gp, 1d8, piercing, 2lbs, finesse) rather than a plain warpick, of which the only difference is cost (5gp). The build should work, albeit in no way maximized, with either wolf or eagle totem spirits, but I plan on going eagle if I ever play him. Seriously, flying gnome of pointy death FTW. At fourth, I'd take the Dual Wield feat and have another gnomish warpick crafted, then pump the rest of the bumps into stats. Flair > power!
Siggledrix Mudcarver Ajax Morningsnore Dindlerung
BACKGROUND (OUTLANDER — Feature: Wanderer)Siggledrix’s friends and family knew early on that something was amiss with the poor lad. Often he’d wander off into the forest when no one was looking and show up several days later, naked and starving. Somehow,, no matter how dangerous a place he’d wander to, he always came back in fairly healthy state.Having only just settled down into life as an adult, shortly after his 43rd birthday, Siggledrix announced (to no one in particular) that he needed to fetch a star, took his grandfather’s warpick and shield, and left the village, only to be rarely seen again.Siggledrix is overly curious, but neither cautious nor disciplined. All of the things that society sees as necessities bear no more meaning to him than a shiny stone in a forest creek. He is impulsive and makes poor choices constantly, though never with the intention to cause harm. He will typically have one to three small forest creatures with him at any given time and he will resort to conversing with them if he feels overwhelmed or left out.He has been “rescued” more than once by well-meaning rangers, druids, foresters, hunters, and passerbies. These people are usually put off shortly thereafter by Siggledrix’s constantly shifting demeanor. He loves to go on adventures, whether alone or with a group and will happily join a party adventuring near his current “home.”Personality Traits: I place no stock in wealthy or well-mannered folk. Money and manners won’t save you from a hungry merchants. I’m always picking things up, absently fiddling with them, and usually accidentally breaking them.Ideal: Life is like the seasons, in constant change, and we must season with them.Bond: I am the first and last of my tribe and it’s up to me make sure we get better potatoes.Flaw: If there’s a wrong decision to make, I’ll probably make it. If there’s something that looks remotely edible, I’ll probably try to eat it.

DESCRIPTION
Siggledrix, or “Sig to his friends,” is a stark contrast to the general idea of what a gnome should be. His hair is a dark matted knot but somehow still manages to stick out in every direction, giving him the appearance of a mangy cat that’s just been electrocuted. His beard flows freely from his face and often contains random objects including but not limited to parts of his last meal, twigs, small shiny rocks, insects, or animal companions. His skin is probably a dark tan, but is usually covered in dirt, blood, or questionable smearable debris. His eyes, a startling green, usually contain hints as to his mental state.Sig dresses in tattered clothes that have been patched together with animal skins, bark, thick leaves, vines and whatever else he could get his hands on. He carries a shield and warpick that belonged to his grandfather and despite his lack of maintenance, they have remained in good condition. He doesn’t have a pack or belongings except for a mess kit, which only contains a fork with one broken tang and knife blade with no handle.

Chukwembe [SHOUK-ouem-BAY] was born in Turmish, in a small town of Xorshun, not much more than a caravan stop along the Halondar trade road connecting to Hlondath. Like all turami, he is tall mahogany-skinned man that speak common with a broken accent distinct from his region. He also wear a teeth necklace as a trophy after his tribe slayed the predator called Wandake (meaning "sky shadow" in turami), a wyvern that was terrorizing Xorshun. Chukwembe also has a tribal head ornament made with hunting cat fur (strenght) and winged serpent feathers (wisdom), a gift from his chieftain when he went on his druidic pilgrimage to wander the big world.
I dig the wyvern scale armor!
