"...Do what's good,
Not what's bad,
Even if you're really angry.
Smile more, make a friend,



If they're weirded out, stare blankly..."


-Gregor Hartway - Tips From Gregor, The Song

Gregor tends to try and look his best at all times. He wears a variety of beautiful garments as well as a smile that's simply dazzling. With a tall muscular build, and one of the friendliest faces around he certainly attracts a crowd when he sits down to play his lute. 


Height/Weight:


6 foot/198 Lbs


Sexuality:


Heterosexual. 


Race:


Human


Class:


Bard


Personality:


The best way to describe Gregor is friendly. He smiles at everyone and is a firm believer in that everyone deserves a second chance, gods knows he needed one. With a flash of his grin and one of his trademark winks most are immediately captivated by this charming man, though he finds it hard to keep friends when he travels as much as he does.


While not being a complete moron, Gregor is not going to be winning any awards for smarts anytime soon. The best way to describe him, is street smart. Although what he lacks in intelligence he certainly makes up with his immaculate charisma and impressive strength.  


Past:


Gregor grew up in the city of Jyncala an only child. His mother and father owned a shop on main street selling rare artifacts to travelers, and while that would be a respectable craft anywhere else, in Jyncala it was considered a "Lame Trade". Because of this, many of the kids that lived there teased Gregor for his parents profession. Of course his parents did what any good parent would do and consoled him, but that only made him feel marginally better. Because of this Gregor spent most of his time alone. He ended up picking up several hobbies, but the only one that ended up sticking was playing the lute. From there Gregor learned how to sing and began to work on an assortment of other instruments. 


When Gregor turned 13 he began busking on the streets. For years he had been working on his talent but found that he was not content with keeping it to himself. So he took to the streets and began to perform for the masses. It was here on the streets of Jyncala that he had met Myra. A Changeling girl who was only a year younger than him. She too was busking, but unlike Gregor, she had to. Only a few years ago Myra's family had disowned her because she was "an abomination crafted by monsters". And though that wasn't entirely untrue, it didn't make the situation any less harsh. (More on changelings:https://sites.google.com/site/eberronpathfinder/conversion-info/races/changelings). 


Almost immediately Gregor and Myra were friends. They became so close that they were practically brother and sister which was partially true as Ma and Pa Hartway ended up adopting the girl. From there the friendship only grew as the two became a duo on stage, playing together and entertaining the good folk. It was on such an occasion ,when the duo were now in middle of their 18th summer, that a dwarven man who went by the name of General Jangles scouted the two and inducted them into his wandering troupe. Together they left Jyncala and began their own adventure through Eucla. 

However a year later on a chilled autumn morning, Jyncala's market district was attacked by a gang of goblins. They were dispatched before to much harm could be done but that didn't mean there weren't causalities. Among those that had fallen in the attack were Gregor and Myra's parents. When the news had finally reached the traveling bards they both were heartbroken, but Gregor more so than his sister. He fell into a deep pit of depression, trying to find solace at the bottom of a pint. Eventually he left the troupe and stumbled through the wilderness barely surviving on his own. 

In the following two years Gregor did a lot of things he isn't proud off despite the fact he barely even remembers them. However, he does recall that one day in the freezing winter he had stumbled upon an ancient shrine. After some investigation he found that it was dedicated to one of the old gods, long lost from before the divergence.


This shrine in particular was dedicated to Zynjala, a god of thunder and justice. For a time Gregor stayed there, studying the ruins. Each day he prayed to Zynjala, brought him offerings and renewed the shrine, now happy that he had something to do and a place to stay. Not quite sure why he felt this compulsion, Gregor began to explore deeper into the ruins until he came across a seal. Using his bardic magic Gregor was able to break the seal and free the being encapsulated, finally returning the god, Zynjala, to his rightful place. With great thanks, Zynjala told Gregor of fantastic vestiges that existed somewhere in the world that used to belong to him. These vestiges were just a few of the weapons created in the divergence by the gods and Zynjala promised that should Gregor find them and return them to the god there would be great reward. 

Gregor happily accepted the quest and soon set forth from the shrine to spread the word of Zynjala's return to the world. He then found himself back in Jyncala and reunited with his sister. And although he would have loved to stay longer, he knew he couldn't. There was to much to do. Ever since then Gregor has been bringing justice to the unjust, helping the weak where he can and entertaining the good folk like always.

Age:


236


Species:


Pipe Fox


Gender:


Female


Size:


2 feet in length


Powers/Abilities:


Although not very strong, Aunty like most Pipe Foxes, is very intelligent and has years of knowledge at her fingertips. Well, that is, if she had fingers. Either way, with the ability to understand language and communicate telepathically Aunty is a big help to Gregor. 


-Invisibility: Temporarily turn invisible.


-Telepathy: Can communicate using thoughts.


-Psycho Boost: Using telekinetic energies, can temporarily boost a subjects magical ability.


Personal History:


Aunty has a had a long life, though not that long for a Pipe Fox. She doesn't like to talk to much about it, as she likes to think that her life started when she met Gregor Hartway. It was only three years ago, but it feels just like tomorrow to Aunty... 


It was a pleasant spring afternoon when she was awoken by the beautiful sound of a flute whistle. In all her years she had heard many a flautist, but never had she heard such a calming and unique technique be used. Upon investigation, she found a young boy playing at the base of her grand oak tree. She watched on and for a time she was entranced, but her daze was broken as the young man departed. Being of her nature, Aunty was reluctant to reveal herself at first so she followed this boy around for several days. What she discovered was a lonely but talented artist who rather fit the bill for a lovable oaf. She grew rather fond of his shenanigans, though such actions were beneath such an intelligent creature. Either way, Aunty felt the boy needed guidance and revealed herself to the young man. Since then the two have been traveling companions, 


Personality:


Aunty is an old and wise being with a good sense of humor. Although very shy and quiet, she does have a very maternal attitude towards Gregor and will not hesitate to reveal herself and help the young man.


Favorite band is Black Sabbath and Rush.
