Well, this is making me feel better about having seven AL PCs.
Ajax Wormrider, Giant-Slayer, Eye-Strider, Knight of the Broken Vault, Hero of Undermountain is my halfling Battle Master 8/Swashbuckler 4 Folk Hero. He's a action-before-thought kinda guy, and I love just diving into dangerous situations with him and being a hero. He's earned every one of those titles. I am way too fond of Ajax.
You've probably already heard of the half-elf
Anwell Scrivener, celebrated calligrapher, late of Phlan. He's a very well-known calligrapher! He used to copy manuscripts at Mantor's Library, when he came across the Necronomicon and multi-classed into a Great Old One warlock. A well-mannered, well-dressed Lore bard 5/Tome warlock 7 who gets super-creepy for a few moments when he casts a warlock spell.
Holst (Eldritch Knight 9) is also from Phlan, but fled when Vorgansharax wrecked the place. He used to be a blacksmith there, and still carries with him the iron doorknob from his shop -- it's all he has left of his old life. Still hoping to get back to Phlan now that it's been reclaimed, but his work with the Order of the Gauntlet has left him precious little time to practice his trade. He's a big plate-clad fighter with two bonded greatswords (of dragon-slaying and giant-slaying, respectively) who doesn't cast any spell that requires a save or attack roll, because he has an Int of 10.
Ozamataz Buckshank started as an enslaved half-elf in Hillsfar under Maalthiir's Great Law of Humanity. When Maalthiir fell from power and the Great Laws were revoked, Ozamataz got as far away from Hillsfar as he could... until he heard of the ascendance of a new First Lord who had reinstated the Great Laws. Filled with hatred, he vowed to kill this new First Lord. If he couldn't get his vengeance on Maalthiir, he'd get it on Torin Nomerthal. That's when an unknown entity came to him and offered him the power to accomplish his goal. And -- this is the crazy part -- he did! He actually killed Torin Nomerthal. It was very satisfying. He's an Assassin 4/Blade warlock 5, and kind of a jerk. Also: no faction.
Dalton Wilcox, Poet Laureate of the North (self-declared), is still stuck in Barovia, but I'm not sure he has a problem with that, what with all the damn vampires and mummies there what need killin'. You may be familiar with his book,
You Must Buy Your Wife at Least as Much Jewelry as You Buy Your Horse, and Other Poems and Observations, Humorous and Otherwise, from a Life on the Range, or his poem "I One Time Killed a Flesh Golem." Dalton's a ton of fun to play, but his build (paladin 3/ranger 3) is fairly nonsensical, and only really intended to support his backstory of a ranger poet (with the Entertainer background) who has it out for the undead. He's also a loving homage to
comedian Andy Daly's character of the same name.
Hektor Kulenov (Hunter ranger 3/Battle Master 3) used to be a Trade Sheriff in Hillsfar who did his duty and didn't think much about the morality of the Great Laws he enforced. That lasted until his second adventure, when he was thrown into an arena full of non-humans and made to fight to the death for the amusement of his fellow citizens. This, despite him clearly displaying his badge! Hektor's loyalty to the First Lord fell off precipitously after that, but he stuck with the job for the access it provided. Once Torin Nomerthal was killed (in awesome fashion, so he heard, by a half-elf rogue/warlock), he resigned from his position. Now he's taken the skills he'd learned on the job to good use as a bounty hunter. His multiclass split is a little problematic right now, but I really want a Battle Master archer, so this is what we're doing.
Jackmerius Tacktheritrix is a lizardfolk barbarian 4 (my only remaining Tier 1 PC, now that Hektor's moved up) from the Twilight Swamp. He's very new and I'm still getting a feel for him. He's mostly built around an effective but not team-friendly combat gimmick that gets me looks from other players. I regret nothing. The lizardfolk alien-brain thing is... a little weird, but I like this guy and I'm looking forward to playing him more. Plus he has a ring of jumping, which a fellow player pointed out makes him a leaping lizard, so I've got that going for me.
After Hektor, I'd promised myself not to make another Tier 1 character, but then this dumb barbarian idea in my head started to look pretty cool on a lizardfolk PC, so... Jackmerius Tactheritrix. But now I won't make another character. I feel like I have more than enough, especially with Dalton stuck in Barovia until I get the opportunity to rebuild him.
