[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7032356, member: 79141"] This scene sees the introduction of Ensign Gupta Porras, designed to be a fresh face for the campaign so we don't have a roster made up entirely of grizzled old veterans. Her player joined the group just before the campaign wound up. He was involved in the 'buffer adventures' following Cauldron Born but never the campaign proper, so it's useful for him to play a character who doesn't know the story as well as the others. We worked to design a character who was much lower level than the others - she's practically 1st level in D&D terms - but whose abilities allowed her to both stand out and provide support to the others (so if they are up against an opponent she can't match, she still has a substantial contribution to make). She's also a second face for the group, who have always suffered from having just one main 'speaker'; if he's out, there's no one good at networking. While the group leader Korrigan was good at public speaking and diplomacy, he wasn't at all streetwise. Obviously, I have had to alter the beginning of adventure #6 quite a lot to justify Ensign Porras' involvement - so she's the one who picks up the newspaper article through her already substantial network of contacts. She's a Docker. Only twenty years old - joined the RHC as soon as she was able, a year after the colossus broke loose and killed her whole family. Her father was a Beran glovemaker and political activist, her mother a quarter-elven musician with strange magical abilities and Elfaivaren ancestry. She's mixed race, diminutive, smart and efficient. It'll be fun to see how the unit reacts to her over the coming months. [/QUOTE]
