But you can always choose your favourites from them. With the PCs being the last to be 'dug up', that means that other than new children born all the others will be as old or older yes?Well, heres something pulled from my own campain. Maybe it could fit. Story detail Included.Adam HumanA few years older than the PCs, an energetic and well built kid, likes to get his way and a bit of a bully. Delights in teaseing ants and being cruel to smaller things in general, when other kids protest he seems to enjoy it more. At about 12 ish he is the victim of an incident that shakes the town. He was/is found dead in the woods not far from town, with not a sign of injury or strugle. The only witness is Nathen (below) who apears to have been truamatised by the event and has largely blocked it out, and could/would not say what happened.Nathen HumanThe same age as the PCs, Nathen is pale haired and fairly skiny. Very much a loner, never seeking company but often watching others. He frequently seems to be talking to himself, or as some have joked, talking to his shadow. They are infact very much correct. Nathens shadow is his constant companion, the shadow protects him, but Nathen is scared of it or more what it might do. The shadow sometimes reveals its form as a demon like shadow with two bright spots for eyes, although only Nathen has ever seen this.It was Nathen, or more acurately his shadow that killed Adam in the woods. Nathen was watching a gathering of butterflys, then Adam came over and caught one, and started shakeing it in his hands. When Nathen tried to make him stop Adam pulled its wings off and crushed it. Nathen was both very upset and angerd by this, and his shadow decided to put things right. After this Nathen stays away from people as much as he can and trys to surpress his emotions, in order not to hurt anyone else.He continues to like to hide and watch. Despite his fear of the shadow they are both very much conected. He tries to teach it things, and argues with it over what life is worth.</blockquote>
