Dice Into the Open Sky: Characters

[Felix]

Post your characters here, if you want to keep parts secret you can DM it to me, but preferably not. To reiterate:
The land that you all came from is heavily inspired by the Edge World Chronicles by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. You can use their works (summarized in this wiki) to connect to their lore, but you can also create a bit of your own lore connected to the prompts in this thread and/or by discussing it with me. There will not be a lot of room to revisit characters or places from your background as we will only spend the first bit of the campaign on Edge world and will only explore unknown sky islands thereafter.

All characters start at level five, point buy stats and starting equipment from class and background. You will all get some additional items in the introduction. You can use the full amount of hit points you would have rolled. All published and UA classes are allowed, but any homebrew has to go through me (but I am open to a lot). You can use the character sheet in the attachment, which automates a lot for you, but anything from Ravnica or later books is not included in it.

Magic in this world mostly comes from mysterious natural forces, like great storms and flowering plants, and is quite rare. Scholars and Merchants try to harness these powers through technology and science (which is comparable to that of the Enlightenment period in the real world). Religion is not very prevalent, as the gods have never interfered much. There are some strong cults and tribes in the Deepwoods and in the Undercity many use belief to deal with their despair. Since magic and divinity are this rare I will limit the amount of full casters to one or two party members. You can make half casters or multiclass into a full caster for a few levels freely.

The following races are highly encouraged, between the brackets you can see which D&D mechanics you can use for them. For any other race you will have to discuss it with me.

• Fourthling (humans and half elves or elf if you insist on being taller): Believed to be a mix of all other races, they are capable of interactingwith almost any other race, but almost never fit in. Therefore they are way more common as scholars on Sanctaphrax, merchants and guilds-man in Undertown and sky pirates or merchants shipping valuables form the Deepwoods to Undercity.
• Trog (halforcs and orcs): These menacing and distrusting creatures tower over most others. In the deep woods they live together in secluded tribes where they worship the violent forces of nature, like the blood oak. The trogs living in Undertown are way less fortunate.They are used for cheap labor lifting goods and building new constructions, they drink most of their pay away in their secluded slums.
• Goblins (goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears): Known for their tenacity and stubbornness. They are quite selfish and violent, so living together in tribes does not work for them. They are excellent fighters, so they are usually hired as guards and enforcers.
• Slaughterer (halflings and rock gnomes): These small creatures have a red skin and hair colour. Their entire way of life is built around hammelhorns (yaks), which they hunt,herd and use every resource from to eat and use. They have a hard time adjusting to city life and often end up in a downwards spiral coming into contact with the wrong types of people.
• Elf (elves and forest gnomes): These creatures are small and wise, their big eyes always observing and questioning their surroundings. They often live alone in the deep woods or as sages and shamans of wood troll tribes. If you choose an elf as race, your size will be medium and you will not be immortal, but live longer than any other race.
• Wood troll (dwarves): These sturdy wood dwellers really don't like change, or outsiders. They live together in small communities in the deepwoods and only interact with elves and sky pirates and merchants that they trust. In this world they use specialized wood instead of stone and metal, so instead of Stonecunning you know everything about wood and wooden artifacts.
• Shryk (Kenku and Aarakocra): These conniving, viscious and greedy bird people own most of the slave trade. They have little morals, a strong hiërarchy and like cold hard cash. Lesser shryks often go to Undercity to make money as powerful merchants. If you go with Kenku, you can speak normally, if you go with Aarakocra you never saw the need to fly, so you will have disadvantage on dexterity saving throws and ability checks while flying (at least for the first few levels).
• Kobold: Kobolds are very subservient beings, in the Deepwoods they live together in hives provided by food and protection of a more powerful patron in exchange for their loyalty and servitude. In the Undercity they are mostly lackeys of mob bosses and merchants as stand ins for the deepwood patrons.
• Waif (kalashtar and dragonborn): These rare creatures are wanted by many other races, because their large ears make them incredible listeners and people readers for negotiation and spying purposes. Very few of them live in freedom, only those who fought for it or lived so deep in the deep forrest that civilization never reached them. Your size is small and if you choose dragonborn, you gain advantage on all perception checks that rely on hearing.

Name: Marion D. Tempest
Race: Fourthling (half-elf)
Class and level: 3 Storm Herald Barbarian, 2 Tempest Domain Cleric
Position: Captain
Description: Marion was born during a heavy storm aboard the Dawn Chaser, the ship of her father, an influential sky merchant. She had a very happy upbringing, travelling the sky with her parents. She loved the freedom of floating through the sky and discovering new places in the Deepwood. Her mother was a bit neglectful, but Marion was actually quite happy with that as she could wander off whenever her mother was supposed to be watching her. Her father got an offer to become the league master of the League of Flight, which meant they would have to live there. He was doubting at first, knowing his wife would hate it. However, this solved itself as she left him for some young sky pirate captain.

Marion and her father moved to Undertown. Her freedom was restricted to a heavy extent. Her father was not about to lose someone else he lost and thought Undertown was not safe for little girls. He was unaware that this behavior would be the thing that drove a wedge in their relationships. Marion hated being locked up and threw tantrum after tantrum to get some attention from her busy father. She would sneak out, break stuff and make her tutors leave out of desperation. At one point her father became so desperate that he hired the most severe tutor he could find, Mother Aquila, a Shryke who didn't shun corporeal punishments. She whipped Marion into shape and made a tough woman out of her. Marion truly resented her, her father and Undertown. As soon as she came of age she worked towards becoming the thing her father hated most: a sky pirate.

Over the years she worked her way up in different pirate crews, becoming an expert on weather patterns and sailing the gusts of wind. When the Mother storm hit, she was with a crew gathering darkwood on the far ends of the Nightwoods, where the storm was heaviest. Their ship was utterly destroyed and Marion was struck by a bolt of lightning and went into a coma. When she was in her coma she saw a vision of the entire edge falling and crumbling down that repeated itself over and over. She was also shown a way out, an entire sky full off new islands to populate. When she awoke, she found herself in the Nightwoods with a nightwaif watching over her. He wasn't talkative and a little mad at that, but he did care for her and brought her back to health. When she was strong enough he accompanied her on the long road to Undertown. On the way, Marion tried to preach of her vision, but no one believed her. Recently she arrived back in the city she hated so deeply and found an unexpected ally who believed in her.

  Savanah Badrak was born the youngest child to Geran Badrak, the only daughter of seven children. Having six older brothers, Savanah was both well-protected and relentlessly picked on, so it was no big surprise that the girl grew up strong and tough. Following in her father's footsteps, Savanah joined the tribe's militia, using her great strength and endurance to keep her family and friends safe.
  
  After spending many years acting as the chief protector of her small village, Savanah earned her own fair share of bumps and scars to show off. One day, things went very wrong. While out hunting, her tribe was attacked by a group of slave traders. Many of her people were taken, many more were killed. Savanah blamed herself for each and every death and missing person, even though she knows in her head that if she were there, she would have been killed, too. Savanah decided that it would be her new mission in life to find her people and extract revenge for the lives lost.
  
  She knew that the slave traders were airship pirates, so she went out to find work on a ship, thinking that it would be the best way to find the pirates. Savanah went out away from her home on her mission, knowing that it may take years to find all those responsible for the destruction of her people. But she is so stubborn that she can give lessons to a hunk of rock, so even if it takes a long time, she will succeed in her quest.
  
  

 

[dae mec]

Name: Jidath Beyd
Race: Fourthling (human)
Class and level: Bard, Level 5
Position: Scholar


Source

Description:

As a teen, Jidath caught the attention of scholar Arin of the Sanctaphrax. She studied first as a student under his tutelage and then as his assistant. He was an anthropologist, focusing on how cultures used music, and Jidath followed in his footsteps. She discovered that sometimes when she played music, an odd shimmer appeared in the air and her listeners's eyes would glaze over. Experimentation revealed that Jidath could influence their mood and actions, and if she focused, the shimmer would coalesce into light. (The shimmer... doesn't feel like an illusion. It's something deeper, a resonance, like playing a note on the strings of the world.)

Unfortunately, the destruction of Sanctaphrax revealed that her professor Arin had been involved in underhanded deals and schemes, selling items that were supposed to be secreted away, embezzling funds meant for their protection. Because of him, items of great value were lost. Jidath had unwittingly been helping him this whole time. Disgusted and embarrassed to be associated with him, Jidath swore to leave the hallowed city until she can bring back knowledge of equal value. Traveling the skies seems like the perfect way to do just that...

At first impression, Jidath is a cheerful scholar with reddish brown skin, dark green hair in a bun (with at least one quill stuck in it), green eyes, and a bright smile. She's of middling height, with a preference for trousers, blouses and vests. Simple, bright jewelry adds a splash of color to her ensemble, and she's usually fiddling with either an instrument or a book at any given time. She's always practicing new songs from different cultures, which takes a little trial and error. Jidath is hardworking rather than naturally intelligent, easy-going, and maybe a little too easy-going. She's quick to be infatuated with pretty things (or pretty people). Jidath is curious, charming, and not exactly street-smart. She's willing to learn anything, though!

Magical Tinkering

At 1st level, you learn how to invest a spark of magic in objects that would otherwise be mundane. To use this ability, you must tinker’s tools, or other artisan’s tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:

• The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
• Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
• The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
• A static visual effect appears on one of the object’s surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.

The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.

You can give the magic of this feature to multiple objects, touching one object each time you use the feature, and a single object can bear only one of the properties at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with the feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

Infuse Item

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions. The magic items you create with this feature are effectively prototypes of permanent items.

Infusions Known

When you gain this feature, pick four artificer infusions to learn. You learn additional infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Infusions Known column of the Artificer table.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with a new one.

Infusing an Item

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion’s description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item, or you can forgo attunement so that someone else can attune to the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement.

Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, but when you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of days have passed equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). The infusion also vanishes if you give up your knowledge of the infusion for another one.

You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest; the maximum number of objects appears in the Infused Items column of the Artificer table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your infusions can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of your infusions at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion immediately ends, and then the new infusion applies.

Infusions:
Replicate Magic Item: Bag of Holding, Alchemy Jug
Enhanced Defence
Enhanced Arcane Focus



The Right Tool for the Job

At 3rd level, you learn how to produce exactly the tool you need: with tinker's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.

3rd level, you learn how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand.

Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. or until you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. You can have only one cannon at a time and can't create one while your cannon is present. The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage, psychic damage, and all conditions. If it is forced to make an ability check or saving throw, treat all it's ability scores as 10 (+0). If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.

When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannon table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs

Arcane Firearm

At 5th level, you know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarvers' tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely.

You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled. If the spell affects multiple creatures, one creature of your choice takes the bonus damage.

Feature: Guild Business

Guilds are generally found in cities large enough to support several artisans practicing the same trade. However, your guild might instead be a loose network of artisans who each work in a different village within a larger realm. Work with your DM to determine the nature of your guild. You can select your guild business from the Guild Business table or roll random

Luna is an Elf who, at some point in her life, left the life of solitude to pursue a more intimate life with her surroundings. Though young for her kind, she had found a growing distaste for the lifestyle that most of her bre to hern felt, as well as a sense of restlessness. With all of this growing, she left her family behind, hell-bent on exploration. She has since led a life full of adventure and always craves more with each passing day. She funds her way of life by making and repairing items, giving her some small rep as a merchant, even as she is eyes by her fellow race for her odd appearance, and is often met with confusion, for Luna had since opted to take a more human sounding name in order to sell her wares better .

It wasn't to hard for her to make friends within the guild- the combination of a rare elf and her willingness to help others helped her find the friends she needed, though some might say she was easily taken advantage of for these reasons. Either way, she is still on friendly terms with her old mates, and her desire for exploration be pushes her onwards.

• 
  Deflect Missile (1d10+9, Class Ability)
  Starting at 3rd level, you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your monk level.
  
  If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 Ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack, which has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.
  
  Extra Attack (Class Ability)
  Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
  
  Flurry of Blows (Class Ability)
  Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 Ki point to make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action.
  
  Martial Arts (1d6, Class Ability)
  At first level, your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use unarmed strikes and monk weapons, which are short swords and any simple melee weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property.
  
  You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
  
  You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes and monk weapons.
  
  You can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike or monk weapon. This die changes as you gain monk levels, as show in the Martial Arts column of the Monk table.
  
  When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a monk weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action and attack with a quarterstaff, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.
  
  Open Hand Technique (DC 14 Dex/Str, Class Ability)
  Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can manipulate your enemy's Ki when you harness your own. Whenever you hit a creature with one of the attacks granted by your Flurry of Blows, you can impose one of the following effects on that target:
  
  It must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
  
  It must make a Strength saving throw. If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.
  
  It can't take reactions until the end of your next turn.
  
  Patient Defense (Class Ability)
  1 Ki; take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.
  
  Slow Fall (-25 damage, Class Ability)
  Beginning at 4th level, you can use your reaction when you fall to reduce any falling damage you take by an amount equal to five times your monk level.
  
  Step of the Wind (Class Ability)
  You can spend 1 Ki point to take the Disengage or Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and your jump distance is doubled for the turn.
  
  Stunning Strike (Class Ability)
  Starting at 5th level, you can interfere with the flow of Ki in an opponent's body. When you hit another creature with a melee weapon attack you can spend 1 Ki point to attempt a stunning strike. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.
  
  Unarmored Defense (Class Ability)
  Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom Modifier.
  
  Unarmored Movement (Class Ability)
  Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.
  
  At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.

  Sasha was born in to a wealthy family, raised with all that the spoiled girl could possibly want. It was in the middle of her fourteenth year that she learned that her father had planned to marry her off to a much older man to lock in an alliance with the other family. Needless to say, Sasha did not wish to be a part of this plan, and she then ran away from home to the one place that she thought that her father would never look for her: a monastery.
  
  It was a rough change for her, going from a soft, cushy bed and all the servants to a hard mat on the floor and doing all the chores herself. One thing that the headmaster of the monastery insisted on doing was making Sasha master herself by learning how to fight and defend herself. It took her many years, but eventually she did go from being the punching bag for the other students to being the one that is dishing out the bruises and holding her own in a sparring match.
  
  It was a hard life, but Sasha was happy living there. But like all things, life was ever changing, and her happy existence in the monastery was to come to a sudden end. The headmaster of the monastery called Sasha into his chambers to talk to her, and she informed Sasha that agents of her father have been asking around about her, and if she wishes to stay free from the unwanted marriage, she would have to move on. Sasha packed what few things she had and set out, trying to find her place in the world, keeping on the move to avoid getting found by her father's men.

  Change Appearance (Racial Ability)
  As an action, you can transform your appearance or revert to your natural form. You can’t duplicate the appearance of a creature you’ve never seen, and you revert to your natural form if you die.
  
  You decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, the sound of your voice, coloration, hair length, sex, and any other distinguishing characteristics. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You also can't appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become quadrupedal, for instance. Your clothing and other equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to match your new form, requiring you to keep a few extra outfits on hand to make the most compelling disguise possible.
  
  Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually indiscernible. If you rouse suspicion, or if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection
  
  Unsettling Visage (Racial Ability)
  When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Using this trait reveals your shapeshifting nature to any creature within 30 feet that can see you. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
  
  Divergent Persona (Racial Ability)
  You gain proficiency with one tool of your choice. Define a unique identity associated with that proficiency; establish the name, race, gender, age, and other details. While you are in the form of this persona, the related proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses that proficiency. (Leatherworker's Tools. Race: Slaughterer, Name: Dagga Brancharm, Gender: Female, Age: 22.)
  
  Background Features
  False Identity: You have created a second identity that includes documentation, established acquaintances, and disguises that allows 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.
  
  Class Features
  Otherworldy Patron: Gloamglozer (Archfey)
  
  Pact Magic - Pact Boon: Pact of the Tome
  Your patron gives you a grimoire called a Book of Shadows. When you gain this feature, choose three Cantrips from any class’s spell list (the three needn’t be from the same list). While the book is on your person, you can cast those Cantrips at will. They don’t count against your number of Cantrips known. If they don’t appear on the Warlock spell list, they are nonetheless Warlock Spells for you.
  
  If you lose your Book of Shadows, you can perform a 1-hour Ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This Ceremony can be performed during a short or Long Rest, and it destroys the previous book. The book turns to ash when you die.
  
  Eldritch Invocations: Aspect of the Moon, Far Scribe,
  (As discussed one of my eldritch invocations was traded to allow me to play as a changeling. I had access to 3 at the time of creation.)
  
  Ability Score Improvement at 4th level: +1 to str and +1 to wis
  
  Fey Presence: Starting at 1st level, your patron bestows upon you the ability to project the beguiling and fearsome presence of the fey. As an action, you can cause each creature in a 10-ft cube originating from you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. The creatures that fail their saving throws are all charmed or frightened by you (your choice) until the end of your next turn. Once you use this feature you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

  Throughout all of Pyke's life they have had to hide who they were. Not many people would be too kind if they knew what Pyke was given the history of the Edge. Pyke is a changeling, a being similar to the Gloamglozer that once terrorized the Edge. Pyke shares the similar ability to shape shift. This gift has caused Pyke a number of problems growing up. Not fully being able to control their power Pyke would often be chased out of whatever place they called home. Fear and superstition still loomed over the people of the Edge and Pyke was simply born under an unlucky star.
  
  In order to survive, Pyke had to learn to adapt quickly. They realized that if their true form inspired fear then they simple had to change their form. Disguised as whatever person or race they came across they would steal from those who once chased them and threatened them. At around their teenage years, Pyke had gained full control of their shape shifting powers. Finally able to maintain a form seemingly indefinitely gave Pyke more freedom than they had ever felt. They particularly enjoyed the form of the slaughterer race.
  
  They found happiness being around those who were called Slaughterers. Their jovial nature and willingness to accept others was refreshing. Under the guise of Dagga Brancharm, Pyke had come across a peculiar looking book and amulet. Now in the slaughterer culture, Pyke had learned that amulets were believed to hold great power. Upon putting on the amulet a voice echoed in Pyke's head.
  
  "Poor child. I can see the scars upon your heart. Would you like for me to mend them?" The voice spoke. "Allow me to grant you the power to befriend and beguile all who stand before you. And one day you will no longer need to hide who you are."
  
  Pyke was tempted by these words. They knew how they felt and wanted to help. And Pyke was willing to pay any price for the freedom they sought. "Open the book and make a wish. Together we can make your dream a reality." The voice whispered in their ear. Without hesitation, Pyke opened the book. Every page was blank. Like a freshly crafted journal. Pyke closed their eyes and made their wish. To no longer have to hide who they really were. The voice entered their head once more. "Such a wonderful wish. I shall grant you a portion of my power to help you realize your dream. When the time comes I shall call upon you to assist me. A way of paying me back for helping you. Do what i ask and in exchange I shall continue to support you. Now take my book and become that which you seek."
  
  After that faithful day Pyke had learned to alter not just them, but the things around them. Truly a time in which they no longer need to hide would be within their grasp. But these spells were only temporary. A bandage over the scars they bared. If they truly sought freedom they would need to leave the Edge. Luckily an opportunity had appeared before them just as they were hoping.

  Physical Description
  Pyke's original form is rather hard to label. The best way to describe them would be androgynous. They have long flowing white hair and pale skin. Their build is slender yet toned from years of traveling from place to place. Their eyes are solid pools of ivory surrounded by dark circles that highlight them. Pyke sports short yet pointed ears similar to an elf's. But normally Pyke will hide their face with a simple cloth mask and hooded cloak.
  
  Most of the time however Pyke will assume one of two forms. The form of an adult male Fourthling and the form of a female Slaughterer.
  As a fourthling, Pyke sports short and wild brunette hair. Their tawny skin and hazel eyes give this form a young complexion. He goes by the name Pyke Lanwind in this form.
  As a slaughterer, Pyke shrinks down to about half their height. Their hair becomes bright red and stands on end. Their skin turns as if they are permanently sun-burned. In this form Pyke goes by the name Dagga Brancharm.
  
  Personality
  Personality trait: I lie about almost everything, even when there's no good reason to
  Flattery is my preferred trick for getting what I want.
  Ideal: I'm determined to make something of myself.
  Bond: I owe everything to my mentor. They're probably rotting in some jail somewhere.
  Flaw: I hate to admit it and will hate myself for it, but I'll run and preserve my own hide if the going gets tough.

Languages: Common, Goblinoid, Shyke

Background:
Lugg-Mag is/was a Warrior of the Bone Clan of the High Valley Nation. He wasn't the best by any means, but his ego was enormous, his pride and his need to compete during peacetime drove a wedge between him and the rest of the clan, earning him the nickname "fat head". He hated carrying his piece of the Hive tower, taking every opportunity to pass it onto someone else in favour of chasing "monsters" or hunting Tilder.
Lugg-Mag says he left because his clan were holding him back and there are plenty of other monsters to chase beyond the West Woods, but it’s not the full story. His Glory-seeking got members of his Clan killed, although he is in denial, refusing to accept the blame for it. He ran before the Tattooist could finish the mark. Lugg-Mag thinks glory is going to wipe away the stain on his conscience, but it hasn't worked so far.
Lugg-Mag has been working as a mercenary in a Slaver Band since then until now, as a scout. He’s worked for many Shrykes, namely hunting and capturing Trogs. Lugg-Mag has difficulty judging morality, focusing on who’s paying him and personal glory, and hunting Large Trogs and getting paid by Skrykes made him happy, at least for a while.

Name: Morticule "Morty"
Race: Waif
Class and level: ???
Position: Stone Pilot
Description: Morticule is mute and maybe deaf to, though it is hard to tell. He keeps to himself and barely interacts with others, often mumbling to himself or to the stone core. You have never seen him outside of his protective gear or off the ship, because he is incredibly fearful of everything and everyone, except the ship and those he is loyal too. When duty calls he always does his utmost best to keep everyone alive and keep the ship afloat.
