Carsten Herz

Pictures created by Hero Machine

Occupation: Preist of Lothian, community worker
Description: Reasonably handsome, somewhat small male, 19 years old. He is 5' 10" and 146lbs.
Dwelling: Appartment in Midtown near to the Warrens

Persona: Neutral Good. Charming, friendly, cheerful, outgoing sort. Seeks non violent solutions where appropriate more concerned with helping the innocent and good than punishing the wicked; somewhat naive. Believes in the fundamental goodness of most people, believes that people can make a difference, that heroics matter. Very egalitarian in his views: believes in order and hierarchy but he believes that these should be achieved by ones own merits and not by birth. Does NOT overwhelmingly believe in Free Will.

Goals: Destroy any and all undead and the Evil fools who raise and control them. Help the good and innocent people of Ptolus and the world. Fight Evil. Become both a Master of Radiance and a Radiant Servant of Lothian. He sees the synergy in their abilities. He'll undoubtably try and make alliance with the Keepers of the Veil when appropriate

Notes: Loves to read, curious about lots of things (people and cultures). Works primarily in the Warrens (hospices, clinics, orphanages). He is devoted to the spiritual and physical well being of the inhabitants. Has gained a minor reputation, giving him a small network of information. Although he opposes the actions of the various crime lords he sees this as not his particular battle. He'll help criminals to come to terms with their actions assuming that they have a genuine desire to reform. He'll help minor criminals deal with the law (Knowledge Local includes Knowledge Law) and individuals deal with the bureaucracy. He also organizes "fighting the dead 101" type classes :-)

While in all respects a devout follower of Lothian (especially in his Dawnbringer mode) he gives particular respect to, St Dayra, St Colosim and St Gustav

Olosus F'saa

Picture from Elfwood; artist Gregory P. Gibbons

Occupation: Rogue, Engineer, Delver Member
Description: Olosus has a washed out green color, tiny black spots starting on his sides and become more dense as they get towards the grey dorsal fin, flowing the length of his back and tail. The fin that runs from his head and peeters out halfway down his tail is not very tall, about only 6 inches at the crest and 2 inches where it ends on his tail. He is 5' 11", 210lbs. Wears work harness worn by other assarai, but not many others have chosen to wear and hang what he does from his: Two waterskins (one for drinking, one for wearing), 3 different small satchels (left leg, left belt, back belt), and sword at his belt.
Dwelling: Varies; usually around Delver's Square, sometimes in the shop of another assarai Tinkerer named Vatour

Persona: Chaotic Good. Olosus is very closed mouthed and perfers to put on his Dumb Barbarian look when talking to most people. Only those that he feels a need to express who he is or his abilities does he become his natural self. Olosus perfers to speak in Draconic, but speaks perfect Common, if he so chooses.

Goals: The thing that peaks Olosus's interest is old technology... be it machines, alchemies, or weapons. More recently seen talking with Est about the nature of the arcane and it's working with old technology. But his greatest interest lies in machines and thier inner workings. His greatest passion is the great workings of the past and how many things were accomplished. Currently his biggest goal is to be as ready as possible for when the group that Carsten has brought together starts to delve. On a broader note, one of the things that he talks about is trying to make a better place for the assarai that live in the city. He has a few plans on that, but he knows that his people will never aspire to what he can do, or at best will only ever be as good as Vatour. So he merely looks to those that have been abused.

Notes: Is well aquanted with many of the assarai population and sometimes 'migrates' with them from place to place. Can usually be found in the Delver's Guild Library, working away at a bit of something. Seems to have a gift for translating written languages; exceptionally well read. Quotes Sea Elven poetry from time to time, as it reminds him of the sea. Has asstonishing ability to assimilate books; within the few years he has been here, he has gone through almost all the reports and journals in the Delvers guild in preperation for the next leg of his journey. He has asked Carsten from time to time if he might gain acess to the church libary as pertaining to the tunnels that honeycomb the city, but as such he has not found much there helpful. However, he rarely talks about his past

T'chour Raindancer

Picture from Player's Guide to Ptolus; artist Jason A. Engle

Occupation: Monk, traveler
Description: Tall, muscular, fit, 24 years old, with some of his dark-brown mane held in warrior knots. Some of his dark-brown mane is braded in warrior knots. Part of his chin beard is similarly knoted; he has no moustache. His skin/fur is a golden borwn, with slightly longer tuft on his forearms. He is 6' 2", 204 lbs. Although his features are slightly weathered from the traveling he has done, he is in physically fit condition, thanks to his monk training. He is dressed with a thin sleave-less leather tunic, short trousers and sandals
Dwelling: The Manes; formerly hailing from of the southern plains of Planish

Persona: Lawful Good. Like most Litorian, T'chour is strong and quiet. Reserved, but kind; offers assistance to those in need. Relies more on tact and diplomacy rather than direct confrontation. But when engaged in conflict, he commits himself fully, seeking to test himself and improve his skills. He does not loose himself to battle, becoming savage like most litorians, but he can be caught up in the thrill of combat. He has respect for planning and forethought, but beleives inaction is the most terrible waste.

Goals: To explore the many lands of the world he lives in. To complete the Trial of First Honor, searching for the Spear of Talon. Trial's true purpose: gain a greater spiritual insight in the world he lives in. The Trail is the greatest event in his life, one that he feels that he has been wanting to make for most of his life.

Notes: Despite his alignment, he abides, but does not understand civilization's need for laws. Believes order and harmony are natural in the world and does not need to be cotified in rules or get mired in litigation. To him law and order both achieve positive ends; but those who oppose goodness should be eliminated. New to Ptolus, he currently explores the vast city, making contacts with travelers, bards and storytellers. Interested in places of spiritual learning or with people who have insight into the world.

Est Pellegri

Picture from Magna Carta; artist Hyung-Tae Kim

Occupation: Wizard, Necromancer, full-time student, Noble
Description: A very attractive 18 year old, young woman with long wavy, very pale blonde hair and pale blue eyes. She dresses in the expensive and frilly clothing of the nobility, always wearing the 'right' gloves, hat, jewels, etc. and always with perfectly done hair and make-up. She is 5' 4", 115 lbs , and is left handed.
Dwelling: House Pellegri, King's Road in the Noble's Quarter

Persona: Lawful Neutral. She is extremely polite and friendly, and despite her obviously noble bearing, goes out of the way to treat people as equals. This include races that normally aren't treated well in Ptolus. She always tries to behave properly... or even better.

Goals: To represent her family, and to become a better wizard. Becoming a better wizard involves lots of practice, as well as access to obscure knowledge, hence her interest in delving.

Notes: She also has a lot of family related duties, both for the house in general (she is rapidly becoming the public face of the Pellegri family) as well as to Magnus Pellegri in particular; something like Magnus Pellegri's personal assistant. Very busy for a noble, and so she doesn't spend a lot of time with the others, although she seems to really enjoy hanging out with the group when they do get together.

Always wearing the 'right' gloves, hat, jewels, etc. and always with perfectly done hair and make-up. For special occasions she will use magic to create elaborate hair-syles. She almost never wears necromancer black, opting instead for lighter and brighter colours. The only exception to this is when she wears house Pellegri's colours, which are burgundy, black and gold, and this is only when trying to make a point of representing her house.

Associates: Magnus Pellegri (Master of the House, uncle), Vourd (familiar), Kraylok (long time friend)

Krylok Dar'nan

Picture from Elfwood; artist Erin 'Bongo the Literate' Lamoreux

Alternate picture artist Howard van Lyon

Occupation: Clerk in his Father's shop (part-time), Delver, fighter
Description: Tall, slim, 5' 11" at 176 lbs. Good-looking, all though has a certain naïve look to him that betrays his youth of 17 yrs. Brown hair and eyes, mostly unremarkable in appearance.
Dwelling: Home in Oldtown.

Persona: Neutral. Young, idealistic, is not likely to suffer in silence if something is annoying him, but isn't particularly hot tempered. Has a need to prove himself to everyone he has any interest with, wants to be a great man that his father will be proud of. He has a reasonably strong faith in Lothian, but has some trust issues with the Church itself, or even the clergy members. He is quite superstitious, as he was raised this way by his family.

Goals: Kraylok always wanted to be a great soldier, like his Father, like his brother Argus, but it was not meant to be. Due to some strange circumstances surrounding Kraylok's birth, his Father forbade him to join any type of organized military. So his goal was basically NOT to be a meaningless shopkeeper all his life, to do great things for Ptolus and the Empire, as a Delver and Hero if not a soldier. He also wants to do great things so he can feel worthy of Est's hand in marriage.

Notes: Kraylok was born on the battlefield against the Eastern Hordes on the 23rd of Toil, 703, his mother dying in birth from an undead attack. He's lived all his life in Ptolus, most of it working in his Father's spice store.

Associates: Garner Dar'nan, his Father, a retired Commander in the Imperial Army, now running a spice shop in Ptolus, Argus, his older brother, a soldier in the Imperial Army, Solise, his younger step-sister, Ostelia, his aunt who raised him, Shawla, his step-mother and two grandmothers. Also, his childhood friend and crush, Est Pelligri. He also has a good friend, a Halfling named Dod Copperbottom, who has "shady" connections and is the source of all Kraylok's street info gathered, and has gotten Kraylok in trouble a time or two in the past.
