Character Sheet Template
​

In the spoiler below is an example of how the character sheets can be filled out, and offers the code to do so in the second spoiler for you to copy and paste into your post. Some of the character details can be kept a secret if you like, and if that's the case then I require that you send your full, unedited CS to me in a PM with the title 'AAO - [Character Name] - True CS' so that I can keep track of everything. Otherwise post your CS below and I'll let you know if there's any edits that need to be made.

Spoiler: Character Sheet Example

• Character Information
• Character Stats

• 
  Name: Murl
  Race: Human
  Sex: Male
  Age: 20
  
  Background:
  Murl was born a slave into the iron mines of Churn, and was only able to escape thanks to the sacrifice of his parents and fellow workers. Out of the six runners that made the attempt, only he survived. Now Murl looks for absolution and vengeance against the world, hoping to do his part to right the terrible wrongs that have been done to him and others like him.
  
  Motivation:
  
  • Desire: Vengeance
    Murl desires more than anything to avenge his parents by killing the taskmasters of Churn, but he'll settle for anything that lets him bring the powerful and unjust down a few pegs.
  • Fear: Capture
    Murl fears that one day he'll be captured and be made a slave again, worse yet if he's discovered to have been prior property of Muuldar. He will do anything to avoid this fate.
  • Strength: Practical
    Living as a slave conditions one to always look for the most practical solution in any situation, and Murl is no exception. Even if it's unpleasant, Murl will always suggest the most direct answer he can see.
  • Flaw: Skeptical
    Murl has a severe distrust of everything that he can't confirm with his own eyes and experience. It was a healthy survival skill in the mines, but out in the world it often does him more harm than good.
  Appearance:
  While Murl might have been a reasonably muscular man, his previous days of hard labor and poor food have prevented his body from developing as it should. As it is he is simply a tall man at 6'5" with gangly limbs and just enough strength to lift heavy tools. His hair is black and thin, hanging about his head in an unkempt mass. He wears a simple smock and wraps on his feet and hands to protect them. His back is riddled with scars from the whip, along with a few unique scars from when the guards got creative with their torture.
  
  Personality:
  Murl is a quiet sort and is often lost in his own thoughts. He doesn't speak much, but when he does it's clear that there's some kind of intelligence behind his thoughts. Even if his words are simple and blunt, they always have a direct point to them that can't be denied. Murl tends to keep to himself, but is willing to put himself in danger to protect his fellows.
  
  What is the worst thing they have ever done?:
  Murl knowingly left one of his fellow escapees behind to dash ahead and take his chance at freedom. He still dreams about it some nights.
  
  What is the worst thing they would be willing to do?:
  Depending on what was to be gained, Murl might be willing to do just about anything if the result would help to end the apocalypse.

They are abused at every turn, given only the barest of essentials to survive another day. This inevitably produces a certain set of skills, but it is rare that the Slave ever finds a chance to use them.

• 
  
  Fool
  For the Fool, every moment is a chance to perform. Whatever their chosen medium, these artists, actors and musicians make their living bringing smiles to whomever they can. Happiness is a rare commodity after all, and their services are sought by both commoners and overlords alike. However, there can be a lot more to these individuals than meets the eye, as some Fools use their acting skills to cover more serious agendas.
  Career Skills: Charm, Coordination, Deception, Discipline, Leadership, Melee (Light), Skullduggery
  
  Gladiator
  While a Soldier's task is to win in combat, the Gladiator does so with a flair for the dramatic. A Gladiator knows the art of combat better than most, but has little knowledge of the grander world outside the ring. A Gladiator is a slave to violence, only released from their bondage by death or the winds of fate.
  Career Skills: Athletics, Brawl, Charm, Coercion, Discipline, Melee (Light), Melee (Heavy), Vigilance
  
  Leader
  The Leader focuses on leading and directing their fellows, as well as interacting with others. Leaders have a kanck for taking charge and overseeing a situation, but their methods of leadership can vary wildly. Leaders in the Calamity are often cruel to their subjects, but there are rare times a Leader arrives that can toe the line between fair to their charges and obedient to their overlords.
  Career Skills: Charm, Coercion, Cool, Discipline, Leadership, Melee (Light), Negotiation, Perception
  
  Mage
  The Mage walks a dangerous line in the Calamity, where even the slightest misstep could spell doom for themselves and those around them. But they were gifted a certain set of skills upon their birth, and so they find reason to use them. But they must be careful, lest they be discovered and executed for the use of their outlawed magics.
  Career Skills: Arcana, Coercion, Deception, Discipline, Knowledge, Skullduggery, Stealth, Vigilance
  
  Scoundrel
  The Scoundrel's business is crime in all forms. Whether swindling, burgling or running a complicated con, the Scoundrel has the skills needed to separate marks from their money and valuables. Most everyone in the Calamity has some skill in thievery, but it takes a true master of the craft to be labeled a Scoundrel.
  Career Skills: Charm, Cool, Coordination, Deception, Ranged, Skullduggery, Stealth, Streetwise
  
  Slave
  The Slave lives their life in bondage, forced to toil for the benefit of others. Whether it's in a mine or as an extra set of hands around the house, the Slave is less than a shadow of a person. They are abused at every turn, given only the barest of essentials to survive another day. This inevitably produces a certain set of skills, but it is rare that the Slave ever finds reason to use them.
  Career Skills: Athletics, Brawl, Cool, Deception, Discipline, Skullduggery, Stealth, Vigilance
  
  Soldier
  Soldiers are warriors through and through. At home on the battlefield, they know everything there is to know about surviving the horrors of combat. Whether they are acting guards or slapdash militia, the Soldier has learned enough to survive their first battle and avoid being flayed by their overlords.
  Career Skills: Athletics, Brawl, Coercion, Melee (Heavy), Perception, Ranged, Survival, Vigilance
  
  Tradesman
  A Tradesman is anyone who has skills in a specific job that requires training and some manual labor. Even in the Calamity there are still a number of roles that need to be filled. Fishermen, farmers, miners, tanners, smiths and tailors are just some of the many duties needed by both the commoners and the demons alike. Though the tools they use are crude and the techniques are old, the mastery of their craft cannot be denied.
  Career Skills: Athletics, Brawl, Discipline, Crafting, Negotiation, Perception, Resilience, Streetwise
  
  Waster
  The Waster makes their home in the wastes, and is capable of handling or avoiding anything the wilds can throw at them. Wasters excell at surviving in the blighted wilds, and have skill in both close and ranged combat. It takes a truly capable soul to make it more than a week as a Waster, and their refined skills make them highly prized assets.
  Career Skills: Athletics, Brawl, Coordination, Deception, Perception, Ranged, Stealth, Survival
  
  
• 
  
  Arcana (Intellect)
  Arcana is one's knowledge of magic and one's ability to control and detect it. Magic is inherently volatile in the Calamity, and as such there's an inherent risk involved in drawing upon its power. But those that brave the risk can gain access to strange and terrible powers that would give them a fighting chance against even greater demons.
  
  Athletics (Brawn)
  Athletics represents the character's overall fitness and physical conditioning. Anytime a character needs to do something physically taxing or dangerous, they will rely on their Athletics to see them through.
  
  Brawl (Brawn)
  Brawl is the skill that governs how well a character fights with their bare hands. This includes all forms of hand-to-hand combat, from boxing and wrestling to martial arts and barroom brawls.
  
  Charm (Presence)
  Charm is the ability to compliment, flatter, woo, and generally make other people like you. Charm is used when trying to convince someone to willingly aid you in some manner, whether it's a simple favor or trying to get them in bed. It also covers performances and any attempts to make yourself look better in front of an audience.
  
  Coercion (Willpower)
  Coercion is the ability threaten, intimidate, scare, or otherwise force someone to cooperate with you. Coercion is the opposite side of Charm, in that you are trying to force another's compliance rather than convince them to do it of their own free will.
  
  Cool (Presence)
  Cool is the ability to stay calm and maintain one's composure, even under extreme duress. Cool allows you to resist attempts made to sway your opinion, and allows you to keep a straight face when hiding your emotions.
  
  Coordination (Agility)
  Coordination represents one's balance and overall limberness. It is the measure of a character's flexibility, sure-footedness, and hand-eye coordination.
  
  Crafting (Intellect)
  Crafting is the collective knowledge and ability to work with one's hands. Crafting is used when creating or repairing any physical object that requires some knowledge of how it was made. This includes smithing, carpentry, leatherworking and so on.
  
  Deception (Cunning)
  Deception is the act of lying or otherwise withholding the truth. Any attempt to fool or trick another person, whether it's through blatant lying or merely bending the truth, utilizes the Deception skill.
  
  Discipline (Willpower)
  Discipline is the ability to focus your mind and quiet your thoughts. Discipline allows one to overcome their fear in the face of danger, to resist attempts at coercion and torture, and to disobey orders.
  
  Knowledge (Intellect)
  Knowledge represents the character's skill in higher intelligence and general knowledge of difficult subjects. Knowledge is a rare skill in the Calamity, and often indicates the person possessing it is from a well-off lifestyle. Still, some commoners can possess Knowledge if they found the right opportunity to learn and were able to keep their intellect hidden from those above them.
  
  Leadership (Presence)
  Leadership is the ability to make smart decisions, be firm and decisive when doing so, and instill a sense of loyalty and respect in your subordinates. Leadership is the primary skill used when trying to rally or aid your allies, or when attempting to take an authoritative stance in any situation.
  
  Medicine (Intellect)
  Medicine is the collective knowledge of the body and how to help it heal from injury. This knowledge is limited in the Calamity, but any expertise in the field is useful and sought after by those in need. Any attempt made to heal an injury on a living being utilizes the Medicine skill.
  
  Melee - Light (Brawn)
  Light Melee is one of the two melee skills that governs how well a character knows how to fight with close combat weapons. Light Melee covers any weapons that can be easily wielded in one hand. This includes swords, knives, maces, clubs, and any other weapons of a similar nature.
  
  Melee - Heavy (Brawn)
  Heavy Melee is one of the two melee skills that governs how well a character knows how to fight with close combat weapons. Heavy Melee covers any weapons that need at least two hands to be wielded properly. This includes mauls, greatswords, flails, spears, halberds, and any other weapons of a similar nature.
  
  Negotiation (Presence)
  Negotiation is the ability to make an acceptable deal between two parties. This includes all business deals, but also includes any negotiation where both parties agree to exchange something of value to the other.
  
  Perception (Cunning)
  Perception is the character's ability to actively use their senses to perceive their surroundings. When you want to study the space around you, look for hidden details or search for hidden foes, Perception is the primary skill utilized.
  
  Ranged (Agility)
  Ranged is the skill that governs how well a character knows how to fight with ranged weaponry. While this primarily handles things like bows, crossbows and slings, this can also cover thrown weapons such as darts or daggers.
  
  Resilience (Brawn)
  Resilience represents your character's ability to overcome pain and fight through fatigue. It also represents your resilience against poisons, diseases, and surviving hostile environments.
  
  Riding (Agility)
  Riding represents one's skill at staying upright in a saddle and keeping control of their mount, whether it be a horse, donkey, or some other beast. Specifically Riding represents one's skill at staying seated during times of danger or stress.
  
  Skullduggery (Cunning)
  Skullduggery represents the collection of skills employed by thieves, cardsharps and swindlers of all stripes. Skullduggery is most often utilized when attempting to pick locks, disarm traps or perform sleight of hand.
  
  Stealth (Agility)
  Stealth is one's ability to remain hidden and undetected. Whether this is meant to hide in the woods or blend into a crowd, any attempts made to go unnoticed utilize the Stealth skill.
  
  Streetwise (Cunning)
  Streetwise represents a character's street smarts and general knowledge of urban survival. Streetwise characters know which places to avoid after dark, how criminal criminals tend to operate, and where to gain access to illicit items.
  
  Survival (Cunning)
  Survival is the culmination of skills needed to survive in the wild. This includes knowing how to navigate, knowing the difference between various plants, and how to properly dress game after its been hunted.
  
  Vigilance (Willpower)
  Vigilance represents the ability to be constantly aware of your surroundings, often without consciously making the effort. Vigilance allows characters to spot danger moments before it happens, notice important details out of the corner of their eye, and catch lies as they're being told.

    Animal Companion
    Activation: Passive
    Ranked: Yes
    Your character creates a bond with a single animal approved by the GM. This animal must be silhouette 0 (no larger than a mid-sized dog). The bond persists as longa s your character chooses, although at your GM's discretion, the bond may also be broken due to abusive treatment or other extenuating circumstances.
    As long as the bond persists, the animal follows your character, and you dictate the animal's overall behavior (although, since the animal is only bonded with the character, not dominated, it may still perform inconvenient actions such as scratching furniture, consuming rations, and marking territory). Once per round in structured encounters, your character may spend one maneuver to direct their animal in performing one action and one maneuver during your character's turn. The animal must be within hearing and visual range of your character (typically medium range) to do this. Otherwise, the animal does not contribute to the encounter. The specifics of its behavior are up to you and the GM.
    For every additional rank of Animal Companion your character has, increase the allowed silhouette of the companion by one (this may mean your character gets a new companion, or their companion grows in size).

    The effect ends immediately if your character or a known ally attacks the target. In addition, your GM may rule that some targets are immune to this ability. For example, someone consumed by rage and the desire for revenge against your character would have no interest in resolving a conflict peacefully.

  Gear is something that is intentionally left vague and loose in the Genesys system. Instead of relying on a bunch of lists, they simply give some basic 'qualities' that might apply to any given item.
  Until the players are able to reliably produce gear using their gathered resources, I will not list anything specific in this Gear tab until such time as they do. However, I will list off all the gear qualities so you know what's going on when one is referenced in-game.
  
  
  • Char-Gen Gear
  • Item Qualities

  • 
    
    TBD
    
    
  • 
    
    Accurate (Passive)
    Accurate weapons are easier to aim or wield, whether through design or technology. For each level of this quality, the attacker adds 1 Boost die to their combat checks while using this weapon.
    
    Burn (Active)
    Weapons with Burn inflict damage over time. When Burn is triggered, one target hit by the attack continues to suffer the weapon's base damage each round for a number of rounds equal to the weapon's Burn rating. Apply damage at the start of each of the target's turns. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Burn, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.
    A victim might be able to stop the damage by performing an action to roll around and make a Coordination check. The difficulty is Average on hard surfaces, or Easy on grass or soft ground. Jumping into a body of water stops the damage immediately. Both situations assume the flame is from actual combustion rather than a chemical reaction. With the latter, there is usually little the victim can do.
    
    Concussive (Active)
    The weapon's attack can leave the target shell-shocked from mighty blows or punishing shockwaves, unable to perform any but the most basic actions. When Concussive is triggered, one target hit by the attack is staggered for a number of rounds equal to the weapon's Concussive rating. A staggered target cannot perform actions. If multiple targets suffer hits a weapon with Concussive, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.
    
    Cumbersome (Passive)
    A Cumbersome weapon is large, unwieldy, awkward, or heavy. To wield a Cumbersome weapon properly, the character needs to have a Brawn characteristic equal to or greater than the weapon's Cumbersome rating. For each point of Brawn by which the character is deficient, they must increase the difficulty of all checks made while using the weapon by one.
    
    Defensive (Passive)
    An item with the Defensive quality increases the user's melee defense by its Defensive rating.
    
    Deflection (Passive)
    An item with the Deflection quality increases the user's ranged defense by its Deflection rating.
    
    Disorient (Active)
    A weapon with Disorient can daze an opponent. When Disorient is triggered, one target hit the attack is disoriented for a number of rounds equal to the weapon's Disorient rating. A disoriented target adds 1 Setback die to all skill checks they perform. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Disorient, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.
    
    Ensnare (Active)
    A weapon with Ensnare binds a foe and restricts their movements. When Ensnare is triggered, one target hit by the attack becomes immobilized for a number of rounds equal to the weapon's Ensnare rating. An immobilized target cannot perform maneuvers. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Ensnare, they quality may be triggered multiple times, affect a different target each time.
    An Ensnared target may perform an action to attempt a 'Hard' Athletics check on their turn to break free from the effect.
    
    Fragile (Passive)
    Fragile items are extremely delicate and will irreperably break after being used or through careless handling. When using a Fragile item, reduce its Fragile rating by 1. When the Fragile rating hits 0 the item breaks beyond repair or is otherwise lost or destroyed.
    
    Iconic (Passive)
    Iconic items are things that are more easily recognized by the general population due to their reputation. When trying to blend into a crowd while an Iconic item is visible, add a number of Setback die equal to the Iconic rating. When trying to request or demand someone's help, add a number of Boost or Setback die equal to the Iconic rating depending on the item's reputation and the GM's discretion.
    
    Inaccurate (Passive)
    Inaccurate weapons are less likely to be accurate or precise. When making an attack with an Inaccurate weapon, add a number of Setback die to the check equal to the Inaccurate rating.
    
    Inferior (Passive)
    An Inferior item is a lackluster example of its kind, representing shoddy and poor craftsmanship. An Inferior item generates automatic 1 Threat on all checks related to its use.
    
    Knockdown (Active)
    When Knockdown is triggered, one target hit by the attack is knocked prone. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Knockdown, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time.
    Unless specified otherwise, Knockdown requires 2 Advantage to trigger, plus 1 additional Advantage per silhouette of the target beyond 1.
    
    Linked (Active)
    Some weapons are designed to fire together at the same target. When a character fires a linked weapon, on a successful attack, the weapon deals one hit. The wielder may spend 2 Advantage to gain an additional hit, and may do so a number of times equal to the weapon's Linked rating. Additional hits from the Linked weapon may only be applied against the original target. Each hit deals the weapon's base damage plus damage equal to the Success scored on the check.
    
    Pierce (Passive)
    Any hits from this weapon ignore a number of points of soak equal to the weapon's Pierce rating. If the weapon has more ranks of Pierce than the target's total soak, then the target's soak is reduced to 0 and the extra Pierce ratings have no additional effect.
    
    Prepare (Passive)
    Items with this quality require time to set up before being used. The user must perform a number of preparation maneuvers equal to the item's Prepare rating before using the item. At the GM's discretion, moving the item, being knocked prone with the item, or other disruptions may require the user to perform the preparation maneuvers again before using the item.
    
    Reinforced (Passive)
    Weapons or items with the Reinforced quality are immune to the Sunder quality. Armor with the Reinforced quality make the wearer's soak immune to the Pierce quality.
    
    Stun (Active)
    A weapon with Stun can deal strain damage to the target. When the Stun quality is activated, it inflicts strain equal to the weapon's Stun rating. Since this is strain, and not strain damage, it is not reduced by the target's soak.
    
    Stun Damage (Passive)
    A weapon with this quality can only deal strain damage. Because this is strain damage, not strain, it is still reduced by the target's soak.
    
    Sunder (Active)
    When activating Sunder, the attacker chooses one item openly wielded by the target (such as a weapon, shield, or item on a belt). That item is damaged one step: from undamaged to minor, from minor to moderate, or from moderate to major. If an item already suffering major damage is the target of a successful Sunder, the item is destroyed.
    Sunder requires 1 Advantage to activate, and my be activated even if the attack is unsuccessful. Sunder may be activated multiple times in the same attack, but each activation must be applied to the same item, potentially taking it from undamaged to destroyed in a single attack.
    
    Superior (Passive)
    A Superior item is a sterling example of its kind, representing masterful craftsmanship. A Superior item generates automatic Advantage on all checks related to its use.
    
    Unwieldy (Passive)
    An Unwieldy weapon is a weapon that can be particularly awkward to use for those without impressive dexterity and hand-eye coordination. To wield an Unwieldy weapon properly, the character needs an Agility characteristic equal to or greater than the weapon's Unwieldy rating. For each point of Agility by which the character is deficient, they must increase the difficulty of all checks made while using the weapon by one.
    
    Vicious (Passive)
    When an attack with this weapon results in a Critical Injury or Hit, the character adds ten times the Vicious rating to the Critical roll.

  Name: Pashad
  
  
  
  Background: Even in the darkest of times, the human spirit finds ways to try and keep the flame of hope. And so it was, that under the watchful eyes of the demons, a small order of magicians has set itself up. Called the white rose, they seek to preserve the teachings of magic amongst humans, working in a pair of master and student. And one rarely knows more than one other mage, lest all be found out should one be taken.
  
  Pashad was an orphan, found by a kind woman who taught him to use the gift of magic, and swore him to secrecy about it. He isn’t cowardly, but is very fearful lest the demons find out about his skills. He seeks to find more about the world, and maybe help pave the road to have the demons overthrown.

  Name: Josef Dekanos
  
  Background: Josef was a young "volunteer" for his lord's retinue. Picked from the streets, he was soon schooled and trained in the duties and skills of a soldier for his liege's standing army. Often, this meant a lot of guard duty and doing the lord's dirty work. He had spent years, patrolling the streets, inspecting carts, and so on. As the years went on, he was entrusted with more responsibilities and other duties even being promoted to a low ranking officer. Whatever his lord demanded, he obeyed. First, it was the torture of prisoners... accused of treason, but Josef knew that they were bogus charges. Then came the body disposal of the victims of the lord and the demonic monsters. It continued to get worse, and worse until one day Josef could not tolerate it anymore and left his post to vanish into the darkness of the night.
  
  Motivation:
  
  • Desire - Vengeance: Josef wishes to see the abominations be driven away and burned into ashes such that no trace of them will exist.
  • Fear - Failure
  • Strength - Courageous
  • Flaw - Deception
  Appearance: Josef is a somewhat taller than average human male (5'8"), but not by much as during his childhood he was rather malnourished. His training and service did provide sufficient nutrition to make up somewhat for the lack of food during his youth, but not enough to compare to the sons of the privileged. With relatively pale skin, his body supports several noticeable scars and various marks that he had sustained through the years since they stand in contrast with his pale skin. In addition, he maintains his hair short as it was required to be able to properly don a helmet. Otherwise, he has a lean physique. His position, while feeding him decently, isn't enough to allow him to gain much fat. It was enough to remain fit, but after running away... his body has certainly taken a bit of a toll and lost some of his muscle tone.
  
  Personality: "There's the objective, now take it." That phrase explains Josef's thought process very well. When he was a soldier, he got things accomplished as efficiently as possible no matter what it was that he needed to do. Capture a runaway slave? He would start giving small gifts and favors to the other slaves and pry information. Put down a riot? He would order his men to funnel the rioters into a building, and on command, torch it.
  
  What is the worst thing they have ever done?: Ordered to restore order in a town, Josef had to partake in a witch hunt and accuse many innocents of sedition to instill fear in the people and stomp out any sign of rebellion. Many people and their extended families were victims of the various purges that Josef had to participate in.
  
  What is the worst thing they would be willing to do?: There is nothing too horrible that can be done to liberate the continent... in fact, chances are that Josef has done worse.

  Name: Marius Ironhand
  
  
  Background: Marius Ironhand was born to violence, birthed in the creche of the Ironhand arena from one of the pleasure girls given to the gladiators to appease them between bouts. He was then put to work when able, working the beast stalls and training pits before he was eventually tapped for training as a gladiator. In the ring, Marius has found the rush of combat and the roar of the crowd the only real release from the boredom of existence and the threat of suffering should he not perform. He managed to win his freedom only recently in a Grand Melee event, where each contestant had to kill all others and survive to be set free. Marius succeeded and was allowed to walk out of the arena to see where his destiny would now take him and his hunger for glory.
  
  
  Motivation:
  
  • Desire - Fame: Marius revels in the adoration of his fans and the horror of those enemies who know his name. He wishes to spread the renown further.
  • Fear - Obscurity: To fade away in the dust of history, his glories and conquests unremembered.
  • Strength - Patient: Marius is known to stalk the arena like a predator at times with a foe. He watches and waits for his moment to strike, often to spectacular and gruesome results.
  • Flaw - Pride: Marius is shamelessly vainglorious as part of his life as a gladiator. Violence is a means to his satisfaction and reward, the roar of a crowd praising his skill.
  Appearance: Marius is a massive man 6' and filled with powerful muscle mass honed for battle and spectacle to keep the mob happy as he slays beasts and foes of the regime in grand combat. He has had the privilege of being well fed even if not the bed food to ensure the area has its brutal warriors to amuse the crowds. He favors leggings and belt with boots, leaving his upper body on display. He keeps his blond hair long if held back for fights.
  
  
  
  Personality: Marius Ironhand is proud of his status, but deep down he also seeks more. To rise above just the arena as a means to appease the people and keep the amused. He wants to carve his name into the blood carcus of history and be remembered forever.
  
  
  
  What is the worst thing they have ever done?: Marius slaughtered five neophyte gladiators with his bare hands once in the arena after arguing with the pit master. He was thrown into a match with them and used his bare hands to kill them all, strangling the last one to death as he looked right at the pit master.
  
  
  What is the worst thing they would be willing to do?: Marius would start a war just to make a name for himself as a great warrior within it. Slaughter entire villages if need be while letting survivors flee to spread his reputation.

  Name: Reah
  
  Background: Raised in the streets, she's been been tagging along with different groups since she can remember, doing odd jobs. Having seen and learnt many things this way, has left her wary of the world, and lives in constant vigilance, all whilst applying what tricks she's learnt to avoid starvation.
  
  Motivation:
  
  • Desire - Belonging. She avoids conflict and anything that could threaten a sense of belonging to a group, or a place.

  Name: Silvia Belarue
  Race: Human
  Sex: Female
  Age: 26
  
  Background: Once a slave to a demon aligned owner, Silvia experienced nothing but hardship and abuse from the earliest moments of her life. When but an infant she would be prodded and poked for the amusement of others and as she developed as a person it only got worse. During her teen years the abuse turned from the standard physical to mental and sexual. She was already a mother at seventeen and by eighteen she was forced to put her own son to death. From this moment she grew colder and found herself spreading rumours to other slaves whenever she could, rallying them to the singular cause of freedom. By the age of 24 she was over her bondage and in the cover of darkness, when her owner was doing as he pleased with her, he said something to trigger her. In a fit of rage she sprung her trap and strangled him to death with the assistance of two other slaves. Their moment of triumph was quickly washed out with a sense of panic and those slaves that could flee did, taking only what they could carry in their arms as they fled into the wastes to rally behind their saviour in bondage.
  
  Motivation:
  
  • Desire - Safety: Not just the safety of herself, but also the safety of those who follow her and those who she believes need it.
  • Fear - Victimhood: Having already been a victim for a long portion of her life, Silvia fears falling back into bondage or being made into a victim again.
  • Strength - Determined: Silvia's past has provided her with a lot of reasons to hate her enemies. These reasons help keep her so determined.
  • Flaw - Paranoid: Knowing that demons can offer promises of power and protection, Silvia is always paranoid one of her followers could secretly be working against her to secure their own safety.
  Appearance: Obviously a resistance fighter at a glance. Silvia has soft features that manage to appear both gentle and battle hardened at the same time. She has short blonde hair, pale white skin, and bright blue eyes. On her cheek is a large circular tattoo with a loop that climbs her nose and cuts through her eyebrow. The tattoo serves as a public mark that she is a slave of Belarue. She is rarely clean and her clothes are no better than that of the common man or woman in Leth. While seemingly a mediocre to poor lifestyle, Silvia is often seen with as much of a smile as can be made when reflecting on the fact her and her people now have their freedom.
  
  Personality: Silvia had the potential to grow into a caring woman or a violent savage and now seems to walk the fine line. To her there are two sides in Leth. You are either fighting with her, or you are fighting against her. Those who support the demonic rulers are tarred with a brush that deems them unworthy of existence and those that follow the Faith of the Damned are not only willing slaves but traitors to their kind and worthy of a most painful death. Silvia has long forgotten the idea of mercy to those who are not her own and while others may choose to believe in the gods, she has come to realise no god could have ever existed and allowed this to happen.
  
  What is the worst thing they have ever done?: Between selling out fellow slaves while in bondage to save herself and taking the life of her own son, she is hard pressed to specify which takes its toll on her heart more.
  
  What is the worst thing they would be willing to do?: Silvia dreams of a future where demons and those that ever considered working with them are exterminated from existence. She would be willing to go to any length for that to turn to reality. There is no evil too great to reach that goal.
