Size: Medium;
Lifespan: Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years.
Darkvision: Thanks to your elf blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Fey Ancestry: You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Skill Versatility: You gain proficiency in two skills of your choice.
Background: Sailor
Skills: Athletics, Perception;
Ship's Passage: When I need to, I can secure free passage on a sailing ship for myself and my companions. I might sail on the ship I served on, or another ship I have good relations with. Because I'm calling in a favor, I can't be certain of a schedule or route that will meet my every need. My companions and I are expected to assist the crew during the voyage.​
Feats: None
Class: Warlock, Hexblade
Pact Magic : 3 cantrips & 7 spells known
I can cast warlock cantrips/spells that I know, using Charisma as my spellcasting ability
I can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus
I regain these spell slots on a short rest
Hex Warrior: I gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. When I finish a long rest, I can imbue one weapon I touch with my will. Until my next long rest, I can use it with Charisma instead of Strength or Dexterity. I have to be proficient with the weapon and that is can't have the two-handed property. This benefit also works with every weapon from Pact of the Blade, with no restriction
Hexblade's Curse: (1 x per short rest)
As a bonus action, I can curse a creature I can see within 30 ft of me for 1 minute
• I add my proficiency bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target
• My attack rolls against the curse target score a critical hit on a roll of 19 and 20
• If the target dies while cursed, I regain HP equal to my warlock level + Cha mod
The curse ends after 1 minute, when the target dies, I die, or I'm incapacitated
Eldritch Invocations:
Gift of the Depths (Eldritch Invocation, XGtE 57)
• I can breathe underwater and I have a swim speed equal to my walking speed
Once per long rest, I can cast Water Breathing without using a spell slot (PHB 287)
• Thirsting Blade (Eldritch Invocation, PHB 111)
When taking the attack action, I can attack twice with my pact weapon
• Eldritch Smite (Eldritch Invocation, XGtE 56)
Once per turn when I hit a creature with my pact weapon, I can empower the strike
By expending a warlock spell slot, the creature takes extra damage and is knocked prone
It takes 1d8 force damage and another 1d8 force damage per level of the spell slot
The target is only knocked prone if it is Huge or smaller
Pact of the Blade: As an action, I can create a pact weapon in my empty hand; I'm proficient in its use.
I can choose the type of melee weapon every time I create it, and it has those statistics.
The weapon disappears if it is more than 5 ft away from me for 1 minute.
The weapon counts as magical; I can transform a magic weapon into my pact weapon.
This occurs over an hour-long ritual that I can perform during a short rest.
I can use an action to re-summon it in any form and can dismiss it as no action.
Accursed Specter: (3 temp HP, 1× per long rest)
When I slay a humanoid, I can curse its soul and have it rise as a specter from its corpse.
It has the stats of a specter (MM 279) with temporary HP equal to half my warlock level.
It rolls initiative and has its own turns, obeying my verbal commands.
It gains a bonus to attack rolls equal to my Charisma modifier (min +0).
The specter remains until the end of my next long rest, at which point it vanishes.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
A bluish, slender man with long flowing hair, Perilor can easily be recognized as a sea elf. He wears simple, dark, formfitting clothes and usually carries a silvertipped spear. A quiet elf, Perilor carries himself like a warrior and is very focused on his current task.

BIO
At a young age, Perilor lost his parents to a sahuagin attack and he was adopted by his uncle Eldrin, a scout for the Blue Dolphins. Learning the basics of stealth and unarmed combat from his quiet and reserved uncle, Perilor took to this training with ferocity, hoping to one day become a defender of his home from threats like the sahuagin.

When he reached the proper age, Perilor applied to the sea elf army. Through sheer determination he was able to eventually be selected for the Blue Dolphins, a unit that focused on reconnaissance and swift strikes behind enemy lines. When his uncle was gravely injured and unable to continue his fighting carreer, Perilor was elected to replace him.

After various missions, Perilor has made a name for himself, but he is starting to grow restless. His superiors are fair and wise, but Perilor has found a burning desire to hunt down sahuagin and other threats, rather than only taking defensive actions. So he has taken his leave for a while, to contemplate what he truly wants in this life.

Amphibious: Can breath air and water
Control Air and Water: A child of the sea, you can call on the magic of elemental air and water. You can cast fog cloud with this trait. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast gust of wind with it, and starting at 5th level, you can also cast wall of water. Once you cast a spell with this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Emissary of the Sea. Aquatic beasts have an extraordinary affinity with your people. You can communicate simple ideas with beasts that can breathe water. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return.
Guardians of the Depths. Adapted to even the most extreme ocean depths, you have resistance to cold damage, and you ignore any of the drawbacks caused by a deep, underwater environment.
Languages: Common and Primordial

Folk Hero:
Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Survival
Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisans tools and vehicles(land)
Feature (Rustic Hospitality): Since you come from the ranks of the common folk, you fit in among them with ease. You can find a place to hide, rest, or recuperate among other commoners, unless you have shown yourself to be a danger to them. They will shield you from the law or anyone else searching for you, though they will not risk their lives for you.

Druid:
-Druidic: bonus language which is a secert of the druids
-Wild Shape: 2/rest, action, CR 1/2 (no flying speed)
• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
• When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
• You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you've already cast.
• You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense. You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change
size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
-Circle of the Land:
-bonus cantrip: guidance
-Natural Recovery (1/long rest), 3rd lvl (max slot), total spell level slots: 6
-Clerical Spells: note - always prepared and don't count towards maximum number of spells allowed
-???
-Land Stride: Starting at 6th level, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard. In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the entangle spell.

[sblock=Description and History]
Traveller caught in the portal from the Water Realms

Tai-Tai doesn't really remember time before Master ruled his life. He occasionally gets glimpses of men, women and children, of events he is not sure if they are dreams, memories or something planted there by Masters Will. He lived for many years in rare rock that Master chose for his home, deep in the Plane of Water. He was trusted, he was dependable and able. And he brought Master more slaves. In turn, he was rewarded with better armor, better weapons, more nets and manacles. With amulets that enabled those only visiting The Deep to breathe until brought into The Home.

While he has misgivings occasionally, with new slaves pleading for their lives, Masters Will always overrode them. And once he returned, he would be cleansed of doubt, rewarded as he wished. Once, hunting around The Home, he found a pod, floating around and took it home. More for fun than any real need, he put it in a ceramic pot he collected somewhere along the way. He kept it as a curiosity, solid earth not something you see every day in The Deep. Common kelp grew out of it anchored in provided soil.

Unknown to him, the pot also imparted magic and sentience into the plant. Thus, one day, Tai-Tai awoke with the pot broken and kelp comfortably nested around his shoulders and under his chin, holding it off the stone and anchoring him to one place for sleep. Still woozy from the sleep, he shruged and turned the other way, not once sleeping in the sea you wake up surrounded with algae as you slightly float off your sleeping space. But indifference turned to alarm as he realized the creature actively followed him when he woke up, always staying around his neck and shoulders. With big stinger at one end and couple of small pods on the other, resembling eyes, from up close it looked dangerous. But it didn't attack and after short period of alarm, Tai-Tai shrugged again and continued his empty life.

The creature liked the motion and, as the two grew comfortable together, would mimic the movement when they talked. Thus, Shrug was born. And it provided needed impetus moving Tai-Tai to harder effort to free himself. Shrug was never around The Master so he remained free.

The chance came randomly, pure luck. Tai-Tai explored strange arch that seemed part of some ruins...which maybe sank deeper or were destroyed completely or whatever. The arch entry flickered and Tai-Tai found himself in darker and much colder waters, too deep for comfort, unfamilar taste of water and strange feeling of pulling. He chose to go against the pull as there were signs of light in the other direction.

In the minutes it took to swimm upwards, he realized another thing. For the first time in very long time, he couldn't feel Master pressing down on his own thoughts. Soon, the pressure eased, it grew lighter and he was confronted with armed sea-people. Exuberant with freedom, he didn't notice them until Shrug nearly choked him trying to draw his attention to them.

First among the Guardians was Kaeldos Nalorn ( [MENTION=6899077]EarlyBird[/MENTION] ) who took the genasi and maybe even recognized the signs of Aboleth influence. Tai-Tai now is free, albeit haunted, man who still lives the horrors he commited under the influence of The Master. There is evil in him, he just knows it. And he never, ever, lets it go unless he is fighting slavers or other vile things. He uses his new found freedom to free others from similar fate.

Stamr wanted to be a priest, as his father had been, and his mother before him, but he never received the calling. He was trained, but while he had an aptitude, neither Moradin nor any other god seemed to want him as theirs. So he became a midwife, since midwives were few and deep in the mountains a healthy child was an important addition to any household. Midwives had to be single, of course, which Stamr was, though not by choice. Stamr isn't pretty to look at. His short beard grows only in patches, and as a result he lacks the authority and command typical of his race. He is funnily shaped, and though there is no doubt that he is strong, he regularly proves himself a disappointment to those around him.

Stamr's mind wanders; due to his size to his size and social awkwardness, he is sometimes thought rough and even cruel. While he is good when he has a task, when left to his own, he is apt to seek trouble. He enjoys a good brawl as much as the next dwarf, but he hasn't stayed on the straight and narrow as much as he might.

Stamr has learned a number of skills in his life, and insists on carrying a backpack filled with tools that may come in use for him. Consequently, he looks like a junk peddlar. But he's good with a blade, and he is willing to fight dirty. And so when he's not needed to help with a birth (and there aren't that many births under the mountain anyways these days), he makes his way to the surface, where he finds he can fill his time, working as a highwayman, or as an apothecary, or as a scout, or as a bouncer, or, indeed, as a midwife. He has a number of skills, after all.

Stamr has three treasures that he keeps with him. First, is his father's breastplate, which has a quick-release mechanism and an elaborate filigree pattern that is said to be a map to a family treasure. Second, is Scratch, his magic short sword. It's not a powerful magic, admittedly, but it was given to him by a lady he once helped out of trouble whose husband had left her. The sword was the husband's, in fact, but it served as payment, and Stamr has kept it since. Third, is his cloak. This is a new treasure, and one he has not fully tested. He has stolen it from a corpse, but he feels it's okay since he had made the corpse, which had formerly had been a being who had wanted to kill him. He buried the body, but kept its treaure, and now it is his, and he has brought it to the coast, where he intends to try it out.

[sblock=Background]Sam was the best of those hoping to attain a priesthood, well beyond his years in theological insight. Yondalla be praised, his future was set, and his parents in the Golden Hills were proud of him, even if they didn't fully understand the degree of his devotion. And it was on the day of his Ordination, the very first day of Spring, that the Bugbears came with their leather bags.

Sam was one of the first ones captured (he could not run well in his vestments), but the sounds he heard, as his village was slaughtered and razed to the ground, haunt him to this day.

Of the twenty or so who were carried underground, four died of injuries (Mary, Lisl, Tom, and Fat Barry), six were eaten (Kar, Tami, the Hopeson twins, Tal, and Fran Fran), and one while trying to escape (his sister Farah). He did not die in that escape attempt. He had always been lucky, or at least that's what he told himself when the axe hit his face, taking his eye, and some of his sense, and much of his good humour. He was left for dead, his big sister's body covering him, no longer of interest to the goblinoids perhaps because he was so small to begin with. He never learned what happened to the others: Stump, McNee, Other Tom, Sandy, the Professor, and Wintergreen, but he is not hopeful.

Lying in the stagnant puddle, pain assaulting him in the darkness, it was days before he dared move, and by the time he had pulled himself to the surface, Yondalla's golden light finally shining on him again, Sam was no longer the same. His village was gone, his Temple destroyed. His face did not heal well, and the long scar across his ribcage continues to itch.

The next closest Temple was in Belle Reve. He worked there, a broken man, in penitent silence, hoping to again receive the favour from Yondalla that he once had enjoyed. No blessing came, and while he still wears her Shield around his neck, he had come to understand that no one who looked like him should channel the goddess's power, as once he had been ready to do.

So Sam went to the city, trusting that there were always big folk nearby who could use a small fella like him, even as he was. And sure enough there were. Sam could fit in drainpipes and actually was pretty good with a sword when he needed to be, and if this is what Yondalla wanted for him, then who was he to argue? Sam could climb trees and could be conscripted into the army where he didn't eat much, and how he looked didn't matter so much.

Sam had never thought of himself as a Deserter, but his Sergeant was a drunk and called him foul names, and one morning he decided to head for the mountains, far from the reach of his regiment. He stole his Sergeant's cloak (he was sure Yondalla would understand) to help hide in the darkness, and fled in the night.

He never made the mountains. The Sergeant's cloak, far too big for Sam's tiny frame, was almost thrown away. But Yondalla showed him that it was magical (Sam did not know this when he took it, but had been attracted only by its black leathery texture that reflected no light.) He is embarrassed by the story about how he learned of its enchantment, but the salient detail is that manta rays can swim downriver faster than a military wagon that has gone off a bridge.

And that's how he's here, in this tavern on the coast, his misshapen skull reflecting hollow shadows as the candle at his table flickers from the stump of wax that remains. He tries to be cheery, and he knows his life has been better than some. He's been here a few months, and he calls this table his chapel. He insists that if you want to be married, he can do it for you legal, but those who ask him are usually inebriated and not always polite when they get a close look at him. Still, it's the life he's been given, and that's more that was given to Farah and Other Tom and the Hopeson twins.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=Appearance & Background]
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Tall, fit, and dashing... at least that is how the ladies at the festhalls in ports across the world would describe Lieutenant Jamoar. Standing just over 6' tall, Jamoar is one of the tallest half-elves many people have seen. With his pale green skin and half-elven features, he is the exotic lover of many women across the lands. When not in uniform, he wears standard dock worker clothing, the better to climb the rigging or lounge about town. When in uniform he cuts a dashing figure, though even in full kit the only weapons he dons are a couple of daggers and occasionally a staff for rapping the knuckles of sailors on deck.

Jamoar can be flighty at times, and his attention can be hard to get, but when he is at sea there is joy on his face and a song in his throat.

BIO
Though he is jovial to crew and tavern folk, Jamoar's heart drifts to darkness at times. A deep anger burns in his core, fostered through his youth by his human father's own hatred. Born to a sea-elf mother and human father, Jamoar is a child of two worlds, rather half-worlds that don't quite fit together. His father, Tallek never spoke of the circumstances or romances that lead to his conception, but he often spoke of those surrounding Jamoar's birth. With vitriol and hate, many times through his life, Jamoar was raised on the story of how Tallek found the babe Jamoar swaddled in sealskin, lying next to his mother on the shore where Tallek would meet her for their liaisons. A smooth note of some ocean skin with waterproof ink was pinned to his mother, near her slit throat, reading "the babe is delivered to you, her penance is paid" in common. When Tallek passed, the only thing he left to Jamoar was that note and his anger and bitterness.

His mother on the other hand somehow left him a legacy of power that unlocked the elemental magic of the seas and storms. Manifesting when he was still an ungainly youth, his ability to swim the seas with ease and his natural magic of wind and storms made him a natural fit for joining the imperial navy, which he did soon after his father's death at the hands of a bottle and penny thug.

Jamoar's natural aptitude, leadership abilities and charisma, enabled him to secure first an officer candidacy and then an officer's commission, almost unheard of for a non-noble seaman. Though his rash words and sometimes inattentiveness got him reprimanded enough that he was never able to rise much above his that initial rank of lieutenant. After a few years at sea, commanding men and doing very well for himself, a chance encounter with a sea-elf out sailing re-kindled his then dormant anger. Vowing to finally find and avenge his mother, he took his rashest actions yet. At their final port of call before heading back to their home port, Jamoar suddenly resigned his commission, collected his belongings which were few beyond his clothing and left. Along the way, he may have taken the liberty of the captain's necklace which allowed underwater breathing and one of the ship's navigational orbs. He had crossed the length and breadth of the ocean's surfaces, it was time to get beneath them and bring justice for his mother. [/sblock]
