Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity score increases by 2.



• Age Melody is 100 years of age, though she would claim to be ten times that (jokingly of course)

• Size Medium
• Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.



Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, 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.


Trance. Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance". While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.

Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elven.
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

If you asked Melody about her life, she would claim to have lived for a thousand years in boredom. Any attempts to call her out on this will result in her giving a soft smile and saying. " My truth is different than yours" Such is the nature of the Elven Author.

Melody is a traveling writer, a well known author of mystery and fantasy alike. She travels to gain experience and hone her talents, as author and mage both. Her travels take her to many places, and she helps out where able, to grow her own pool of worldly and arcane knowledge.

Though she would scoff at being called such, her talent as a mage was unquestioned at a young age, and she decided to join up with a travelling mage in order to see more of the world. That mentor's current whereabouts are unknown, as she parted ways when her first novel, ' To Kill Endlessly' was published.
Her favorite thing, besides helping others, is being recognized and signing autographs, though she would never admit it

Dark Vision: You have a cat's keen senses, especially in the dark. 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.
Feline Agility. Your reflexes and agility allow you to move with a burst of speed. When you move on your turn in combat, you can double your speed until the end of the turn. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns.
Cat's Claws. Because of your claws, you have a climbing speed of 20 feet. In addition, your claws are natural weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Sneak Attack once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack with a finesse or ranged weapon if you have advantage on the attack roll. You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 ft. of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Thieves Cant: You have learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly.
Cunning Action: You can take a bonus action on each of your turns to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.
Expertise: Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make for two chosen proficiencies. [6th] Choose two additional proficiencies.
Stealth, Thieves tools

False Identity: You have created a second identity that includes documentation, established acquaintances, and disguises that allow you to assume that persona. Additionally, you can forge documents including official papers and personal letters, as long as you have seen an example of the kind of document or the handwriting you are trying to copy.

Rapier: +5 to hit 1d8+3 piercing
Dagger: +5 to hit 1d+3 piercing
Shortbow: +5 to hit 1d6+3 piercing
Claws: +2 to hit 1d4 Slashing

Personality traits: I'm a born gambler who can't resist taking a risk for a potential payoff. I cheat at games of chance.
Ideals: Independence. I am a free spirit—no one tells me what to do. (Chaotic)
Bonds: I owe everything to my mentor—a horrible person who's probably rotting in jail somewhere.
Flaws:I'm convinced that no one could ever fool me the way I fool others.
Backstory:
Shadow was born as a member of small tribe of tabaxi. Her childhood was peaceful but a little too boring in Shadow's opinion. As a teen she ended up leaving her tribe to find excitement elsewhere. She eventually encounters a human man who teaches her about the exciting world thievery, lying, gambling, and risk. One day the man gets arrested after one of his scams goes wrong where he ended up killing someone and Shadow doesn't see the man again and remains unsure of what happened to him. She enjoys the excitement of what she dose but tries to avoid doing things that she considers too risky that could get herself or allies killed.

Right around the time Ethurel fell, a wondrous event took place in the training facility of the flaming fist. One of their training dummies suddenly sprung to life. It was feral and caused quite some damage, before it was stopped by another wondrous event. The deep cuts and scratches began to fill with gold (like kintsugi) and cerated a pattern of yellow roses over the dummies body. His hands and feet were bound by a yellow rack. The flaming soldiers standing around had lowered their guards in awe, but readied their weapons as the dummy tore through the racks. A cleric spoke up: "Stop! Do not fear this creature. It shows the signs of Ilmater. He must have given life to this being to relieve us of suffering." As they lowered the weapons again and approached the creature, they found that it had calmed down and was actually sentient. Thus Dummy was born. As he was created in the training camp he was immediately claimed as a recruit. During the week they discovered that he did not even need the training and was ready to be deployed. Captain Zodge saw his creation as a blessing and enrolled him in his team.

• 
  Age: 28 | Height: 5'11" | Weight: 200 lbs.
  Eyes: green | Skin: tan | Hair: brown
  
  Appearance:
  Evendur is fairly tall and though he is athletic through his training, he isn't stocky. He keeps his hair short and his face shaved whenever circumstances allow. His nose is slightly crooked after having broken it once.
  
  Personality traits:
  I’ve lost friends in battle and I can't get the images out of my mind. Now I'm slow to get emotionally close to those I fight with.
  Actually, I'd prefer it if no one ever had to fight again.
  
  Ideals:
  Live and Let Live: Ideals aren’t worth killing over or going to war for. (Neutral)
  
  Bonds:
  I fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
  Someone saved my life on the battlefield. To this day, I'll never leave an ally behind.
  
  Flaws:
  If a situation isn't what I expect or if I'm feeling overwhelmed, I tend to cave under the pressure of it.
  I made a mistake in battle that cost others their lives - and I'd do anything to keep that mistake secret.
  
  Backstory:
  Evendur is a quartermaster's second son from Elturel, so joining the city's defensive was a natural choice of profession for him. Adding to that, having grown up in a city defined by Torm's ideals of valor and orders of paladins and clerics, Evendur felt a strong wish to do his part and protect others, though he cannot wholeheartedly get behind the strict creeds the orders uphold. Guarding and helping others, to him, should be something that comes from the heart rather than an imposed code.
  
  It was Evendur's dream since childhood to join the Hellriders (as is the case for most recruits), Elturel's highly regarded cavalry, but his riding skills turned out to be too mediocre despite his efforts and he was assigned to an infantry squad. He arranged himself with his position quickly enough, however, and took pride in supporting the more "elite" soldiers.
  
  On the day Elturel fell, Evendur was sent out with his squad to find and neutralize a group of orcs that had been spotted in the area around Elturel. The soldiers encountered the orcs right in the middle of attacking a small village and engaged them. During the battle, Evendur found himself distracted by the flash with which the city disappeared, leaving himself open. His best friend in the squad received a fatal blow when he stepped in to cover Evendur. Other soldiers close enough to notice what was happening, wavered, torn between focusing on their enemies and trying to help, and the squad ended up losing half a dozen men total in what should have been a fairly routine mission.
  
  When they returned to Elturel, all they found was a deep crater where the city had once stood. Left without their home and with the their family and friends in the city most likely dead or disappeared to who knows where, those of them who had relatives in the countryside went to visit and live with them, while the others made their way to Baldur's Gate, where they went their separate ways. Evendur still feels guilty about the mistake that cost his comrades their lives, but is determined to make up for it by defending the people of the Gate.
  
  Features:
  Specialty: Infantry
  
  Military Rank: You have a military rank from your career as a soldier. Soldiers loyal to your former military organization still recognize your authority and influence, and they defer to you if they are of a lower rank. You can invoke your rank to exert influence over other soldiers and requisition simple equipment or horses for temporary use. You can also usually gain access to friendly military encampments and fortresses where your rank is recognized.
