Yep, I wanted to add a father-figure type character to the all-man crew and I decided to connect him to your PC. Still trying to figure out how to connect two more PCs with some more backstory. Zephia has a hook I can use, but I might trigger it later instead of sooner and so I'd like something more immediate. Elsbeth's witch background and familiar also has some potential, but I might try to connect her with someone of Tekumel versus a person of the Realms. Anyway, I'm partially winging it while also having several possibilities running in my mind that I might toss into the background. I've already decided to nix three ideas I had in my notes.
I am fine with the players filling in the story further. So Bella has a father in Handsome Jack's crew. His name is Sid and he is an arcane spellcaster, and is the wise voice among the hotheaded younger members. He has mixed feeling about Bella following in his footsteps, but he definitely does not approve of her friends and crew. I'll let you fill in the blanks further.
I've pretty much filled out the setting and NPCs for the relic hunter crews and the people of the Realms. I have now to introduce some important Tsoylani NPCs into the story and we'll be set for adventure. Right in time, too, since almost everyone has sent in their character sheets.
