Backstory:

Alice the Wanderer is known for her indomitable curiosity and remarkable adaptability. Born in a sleepy border village on the edge of the Hearthland Territories, she grew up listening to tales of mythic lands, eldritch forests, and strange beings. Her world upended the day she chased a mysterious white-pelted hare deep into the Twilight Glades, slipping beyond familiar paths into realms brushed by celestial magic and wild enchantments. There, she encountered whimsical and perilous denizens, solved riddles, and braved bizarre landscapes where logic warped and dreams could ensnare the unwary. Emerging from these trials, Alice gained an unwavering resolve and a gift for seeing through veils—both literal and metaphorical. Though home called to her, the pull of the unknown proved stronger, and she adopted the road as her true companion. Today, Alice wanders from enchanted woods to bustling markets, seeking wisdom, hidden truths, and the boundaries of reality itself, always compelled by wonder, empathy, and the unending search for her place in the tapestry of the world.

Secret Backstory:
During her first crossing into the Twilight Glades, Alice was marked by an ancient fey who observed her resilience and curiosity. Unbeknownst to most, a sliver of fae magic still lingers about her soul—blessing her with uncanny intuition but sometimes shadowing her thoughts with glimpses of impossible worlds. She fears losing her sense of “what is real” the longer she wanders between the mundane and the magical, and secretly wonders if her destiny is to become lost in wonder—never truly returning home, nor fitting wholly among mortals or fae. The tension between belonging and endless journeying is her silent struggle.

Age: 19
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Personality:

Alice is endlessly curious, questioning, and slightly contrary—she refuses to accept the world at face value or to bow meekly to arbitrary rules. Bright and clever, she’s quick to make friends (and to challenge them with unexpected questions), and brims with empathy toward outcasts and oddities. Her sense of fairness is instinctive; she despises bullies and believes fiercely in kindness—even when confronting the strange or unsettling. While often fearless in exploration, she’s also introspective, sometimes haunted by the worry that she may one day lose herself in her quests. In company, she can be charmingly absent-minded, dreamily philosophical, or suddenly sharp with insight. Above all, Alice cherishes freedom: the freedom to choose, to dream, and to walk any road her heart desires.

• “I think I’ve seen enough ordinary for one lifetime.”
• “Let’s see how far the winding path goes…”

Alice’s voice is gentle and clear, tinged with the singsong cadence of a storyteller. She often asks probing questions, skips between musings and practical advice, and has a hint of playful irreverence in her tone—her words equal parts wonder and wryness.

• Losing her sense of identity or reality

Appearance:
Alice is a young human woman with a fair, travel-burnished complexion and a quick, searching gaze. Her golden-blonde hair is often tousled from wind and twigs, usually tied back with mismatched ribbons or bits of wild vine. She dresses in practical, well-worn traveling clothes, layered for sudden weather changes—sturdy boots, a patchwork cloak of leafy greens and sky blues, and a satchel bulging with tools, curiosities, and the occasional flask of tea. Around her neck hangs a silver locket, inside a pressed violet and a humble portrait of her childhood home. Her bearing is alert, slightly springy, and always as if on the cusp of running toward the next adventure that catches her eye.

Name: jizoh raid

Class: Monk
Gender: Male
Ability Score:

• Strength: 9
• Dexterity: 17
• Constitution: 13
• Intelligence: 10
• Wisdom: 16
• Charisma: 10

Skills:

• Acrobatics
• Insight
• Stealth

Backstory:

Jizoh Raid was born amidst the haze and turmoil of the Golden Lane—growing up in a bustling trade city where poverty shadowed every alley and survival demanded nimble wit and swifter feet. From his earliest days, Jizoh learned to glide unseen beneath the notice of lords and criminals, finding solace in quiet corners and the discipline of movement. Orphaned as a child, he was taken in by the Wind-Way Monastery, a secretive order dedicated to balance through self-mastery and non-lethal martial disciplines. There, Jizoh’s agility, humility, and contemplative spirit flourished. He honed his body and mind as one, seeking clarity through meditation, silent stride, and the gentle rain-like rhythm of motion. When a powerful noble’s greed threatened his home and the fragile balance of the city, Jizoh refused to become a weapon of rebellion or a pawn of authority. Instead, he carved his own path: a wandering monk, mediating disputes in the shadows, defending the weak with open hands—and forever seeking the elusive harmony that might calm the tempest within and without.

Secret Backstory:
Jizoh’s deepest secret is the inner rage he battles—a storm kindled from the traumas of his abandoned youth and the injustices he witnessed growing up. Though now a master of discipline and tranquility, suppressed anger and guilt over a long-ago act of violence resurface in times of extreme stress. It was this accidental harm, inflicted while defending another, that bound him to the Wind-Way Monastery in hopes of redemption. Jizoh fears that, should his restraint falter, he might once again lose control and betray all he strives to protect. He often leaves places he’s grown attached to, afraid that closeness breeds the risk of repeating past mistakes.

Age: 32
Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Personality:

Jizoh Raid is a study in quiet contradiction. His presence is serene and calming, a bastion of stillness amidst chaos, but beneath the composed exterior lies a river of barely-checked emotion. Jizoh abides by strict personal codes, avoids unnecessary violence, and treats even his foes with respect. He is introspective, values silence, and often pauses to reflect before acting or speaking. To strangers, he can seem enigmatic or aloof, yet he is unfailingly kind to the downtrodden, empathetic to those suffering, and forgiving—sometimes to his own detriment. Jizoh rarely seeks recognition, preferring to operate unnoticed, helping others resolve their struggles with as little disturbance as possible. His humor is understated, and his patience seemingly inexhaustible, but persistent provocation or witnessing cruelty may draw out a hint of the storm he hides. Loyalty, humility, and redemption are the tenets shaping his every decision, though he occasionally struggles to accept kindness shown to himself.

Mannerisms:

• Always walks noiselessly, often startling others by appearing unexpectedly.
• Fidgets restlessly with prayer beads or knots in his sash when deep in thought.
• Begins each day with silent meditation, no matter where he is.
• Tends to close his eyes and breathe deeply before acting or responding to emotional appeals.

Catchphrases:

• “Balance can only be found in stillness.”
• “The wind meets every obstacle, yet is never halted.”
• “Let your anger pass; hold only what you must.”
• “One life, redeemed, may tip the whole world.”

Speech Style:
Jizoh speaks in a soft, deliberate, melodic tone. His words are usually few but meaningful, laced with philosophical reflection or gentle encouragement. He rarely raises his voice, projecting calm authority even when under duress.

Preferred Conversation Topics:

• The nature of discipline and restraint
• Urban legends or tales of redemption

Appearance:
Jizoh Raid is lean and wiry, his frame honed to the supple, durable strength unique to lifelong martial artists. His hair is dark, often tied loosely at the nape, with a few escaped locks framing a gaunt, contemplative face. His skin is olive-toned, marked on forearms and calves by faded scars—reminders of youthful scrapes and rooftop misadventures. He wears simple, loose-fitting robes of gray and faded blue, belted at the waist with a knotted sash and adorned only by a wooden mala. His feet are perpetually bare or sandaled, the soles callused from endless silent travel. A silver pendant, a token from his past, hangs concealed at his chest. When he moves, it is like water or air: fluid, effortless, almost invisible until he chooses to be seen.

Ability Score:
Strength: 16
Dexterity: 12
Constitution: 15
Intelligence: 12
Wisdom: 9
Charisma: 11

Skills:
Athletics, History, Intimidation

Backstory:
Sigmund Raid was born on the borderlands of the Empire of Vathis, the heir of a once-revered house brought low by internal conspiracies and violent upheaval. As a child, he witnessed the murder of his family by masked assassins who sought to erase all memory of Raid nobility for their own gain. Surviving on his wits and tenacity, Sigmund swore an oath not of vengeance, but of defiance. He trained with mercenaries, imperial deserters, and renegade trainers, forging his body and mind into a weapon. As he grew, Sigmund became renowned for his unorthodox battlefield tactics, calm under fire, and iron will—even in the face of treachery or monstrous odds. He is driven by a determination to reclaim the honor of House Raid while defending those who cannot protect themselves. Unafraid to make difficult decisions for a higher purpose, he teeters between the ideals of chivalry and the brutal necessity of the frontier. Sigmund’s reputation is that of a lone sword, both admired and feared, a tactical genius whose loyalty cannot be bought—only earned.

Secret Backstory:
Beneath Sigmund’s stern exterior lies an old wound: he doubts he could have truly saved his family even if he had tried. Their deaths haunt him, leading to nightmares in which he fails again and again as the shadowy figures return. Though outwardly fearless, he secretly fears growing close to others, certain that his fate brings only destruction to those he loves. Furthermore, Sigmund carries a hidden token—a signet ring—rumored to unlock ancient empire secrets lost by his bloodline, though he has never dared investigate its true power for fearing what it might unleash, or what it may reveal about his kin’s betrayal.

Age: 34

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Personality:
Sigmund Raid is a study in composed intensity. He is neither boisterous nor withdrawn, preferring direct action over idle chatter. Pragmatic and disciplined, he judges others by their deeds rather than their words or status. He tends to speak plainly and dislikes unnecessary deceit, yet recognizes its value as a tool of war and politics. He is slow to trust but unwaveringly steadfast when he gives his loyalty. Sigmund feels deeply responsible for those under his watch, placing duty above comfort, and often ignoring his own needs. His sense of humor is wry, bordering on gallows, and he rarely indulges in joy without self-reproach. While he upholds ideals of honor and strategy, he can become ruthless when the safety of innocents or success of a mission is at stake. Adversity hardens his resolve. It is difficult to earn his friendship, but impossible to break his word once given.

Mannerisms:

• Rolls his shoulder and cracks his neck before conflict.
• Taps the hilt of his sword impatiently when deep in thought.
• Seldom meets eyes directly when speaking of his past.
• Polishes his armor methodically after battle, almost meditatively.

Catchphrases:

• “The line holds, or none of us do.”
• “Glory fades. Duty endures.”
• “Better a hard truth than a comforting lie.”
• “I carve my path. Let none stand unwarned.”
• “Steel is only as strong as the will behind it.”

Speech Style:
His voice is clear and deliberate, with a controlled, almost clipped tone. Rarely raised in anger, Sigmund commands attention through calm authority. He seldom embellishes, favoring sharp, insightful remarks and a dry wit that surfaces at opportune moments. Under pressure, his speech grows even more precise.

Preferred Conversation Topics:

• Battle strategies and tactics
• The responsibilities of leadership
• Betrayal, trust, and the value of loyalty
• Stories of fallen empires and lost honor

• Aspects of history relating to old houses and lost lineages
• The smell of steel and leather after rain

• Extravagant waste
• Being forced to harm the defenseless

Hobbies & Interests:

• Practicing sword drills and developing new tactics
• Studying chronicles of old battles and lost kingdoms
• Carving wooden chess pieces
• Maintaining heirloom artifacts

Fears & Weaknesses:

• Failing those who depend on him
• Growing too attached and risking their safety
• Paralyzing nightmares of past betrayals
• Secretly doubting his ability to restore his family’s honor

Appearance:
Sigmund Raid is tall and broad-shouldered, his physique honed by years of combat and endurance. His hair is tousled, kept short enough not to get in the way, with streaks of grey ghosting through dark brown. He bears a hawk-like countenance, his expression severe yet thoughtful—a face cut with scars from duels and battles. A ragged, old crimson cloak hangs from his battered but carefully maintained half-plate, marked with only a simple, faded crest of his fallen house. His leather boots and gloves are patched but functional. A longsword, expertly balanced and well-worn, rests at his side, along with a narrow-bladed dagger for close encounters. Though his bearing is authoritative, his eyes betray fleeting moments of fatigue and mourning, making his presence both formidable and strangely human.

Name: Block Debuffs
Race: Human
Class: Cleric
Gender: Male

Ability Score:
Strength: 9
Dexterity: 10
Constitution: 15
Intelligence: 12
Wisdom: 18
Charisma: 11

Skills:
Medicine, Insight, Religion

Backstory:

Block Debuffs was born in the turbid river-town of Emberbrook in the heartland of the Empire of Vathis, the only child of humble apothecaries. Illness ravaged his home when young, and he alone weathered a mysterious, debilitating fever that left scars on his body but sharpened his conviction. As he recovered, Block discovered a preternatural talent for withstanding corruption and suffering, soon attracting the notice of the local healers’ guild.
Unwavering in the face of sickness, poison, and dark magics, Block devoted his early years to the study of resilience, both spiritual and physical. He pledged himself as a priest of remission—one who walks among the afflicted, refusing to be overwhelmed. When the Black Reaving nearly destroyed Emberbrook, Block stood alone atop the barricades, warding his kin against curses and blight. Now, he wanders the wilds of Renaris, offering protection from foul enchantments and mentoring other healers, determined to be a living bastion so that all others might endure.

Secret Backstory:
Block’s remarkable power to resist magical illnesses and curses is not purely natural. While battling the Reaving, he was covertly exposed to a curse spirit from Dithara—one that should have corrupted his soul or claimed his body. Instead, the encounter awakened a latent, cosmic spark deep within him, allowing Block to nullify magic that assaults the mind or body. Yet he lives in dread: the shadow-spirit sometimes whispers at night, promising that if Block’s will should ever falter, the curse might flood through him, casting his protection into a new, devastating plague—or corrupting him into the very thing he stands against.

Age: 38
Alignment: Neutral Good

Personality:
Block Debuffs is quiet yet intensely focused, offering comfort through gentle empathy and reassuring presence more than spoken words. He is deeply patient, showing tireless resolve in times of fear or desperation; adversity seems only to deepen his calm, almost meditative poise. While he is neither a zealot nor a miracle worker, he radiates unwavering faith in the ability of mortals to endure. Though humble and often self-denying, Block feels a personal responsibility for the pain of others, sometimes pushing himself beyond safe limits. He regards ambition and violence with suspicion but will fiercely defend the vulnerable. Fellow travelers find in him a source of silent strength—an anchor amid storm and shadow—though at times, he struggles to let others help him in return.

Mannerisms:

• Stands or kneels between danger and allies, as a human shield
• Rubs a scar on his forearm when deep in thought
• Speaks little, but gives long, steady looks as reassurance
• Uses uplifting chants or murmurs during healing rituals

Catchphrases:

• “Hold fast. We endure together.”
• “Let their malice scatter like ash.”
• “You do not stand alone.”
• “Their curses break like waves upon stone.”

Speech Style:
Block’s voice is calm, rich, and even-toned, rarely raised or hurried; he speaks in measured, concise sentences, pausing briefly as if weighing each word for comfort. Even in urgency, his tone remains composed, inspiring steadiness in others.

Preferred Conversation Topics:

• Resilience and coping under adversity

Appearance:
Block Debuffs is stockily built, with broad shoulders and deeply tanned skin marked by the faded scars of childhood illness and magical exposure. His hair is dark and kept trimmed short, save for a streak of white at the temple—a legacy of resisting spirits. He dresses simply in the practical robes of a wandering healer, reinforced with faded blue vestments embroidered with warding runes. Around his waist hangs an arsenal of sacred beads, vials, and talismans. Block’s most striking feature is his solid, immovable bearing; he moves with cautious certainty and stands as if ready to bear the burdens of others at any moment.

Backstory:

Raid Toragi grew up in the shadow of the Ironflow River, within a proud border village of the Empire of Vathis. From a young age, he trained relentlessly with spear and sword, steeled by the loss of his father to marauding orc warbands. Raid’s early years were spent hunting in the wilds to feed his kin, learning the harsh lessons of survival and discipline that would forge him into a hardened warrior. Despite his imposing presence, Raid found camaraderie in his blades rather than with folk—earning a reputation as a reliable, if blunt, protector of his community. When his village was razed in a brutal raid, Raid staggered from the ruins with little left but his armor, scars, and grim determination. Now, with home behind him and vengeance simmering in his veins, Raid journeys across Renaris, taking work as a sellsword or champion in others’ feuds, forever drawn to the edge of danger—and hoping, one day, to challenge the fate that stole his past.

As he grew, he became known for his unyielding resolve and iron physical prowess, earning respect among the scattered highland clans. When the Empire pressed its claim on his homeland, Cormac rose as a steadfast defender, rallying outcasts, hunters, and refugees into a defiant brotherhood.
Though battles left scars on his body and soul, Cormac never wavered from his path—his sense of justice and loyalty to those under his protection defining his very being. Disillusioned with the empty politics of the lowland courts, he took to wandering Pangryn’s fractured realms, fighting wars not for glory but for the promise of survival and ascent.

Ability Score:
Strength: 19
Dexterity: 9
Constitution: 16
Intelligence: 9
Wisdom: 11
Charisma: 11

Skills:
Athletics, Intimidation, Survival

Backstory:

Born beneath the red cliffs of the Bloodstone Peaks, reinbeast raid emerged into a world forged by endless conflict. Son of a renowned war-chieftain and a stoic priestess, reinbeast was taught that true strength was measured not only by the fury of the blade, but by the courage to defend those too weak to do so themselves. His youth was spent mastering arms and enduring the brutal trials of the plateau. Yet, amid the struggles for dominance, reinbeast was deeply impacted by a vision he received after surviving a lethal storm near the sacred ancestors’ bones. With thunder pounding overhead and blood on his hands, he swore a mighty oath to channel his power into a force that would not devastate, but protect and inspire. Bearing his clan’s relic shield and guided by flashes of ancestral memory, he has since set out as a wandering paladin, determined to save orcs and outsiders alike from the cycle of vengeance and shame that has marred the Wastes. In his wake, rumors spread of a warrior whose presence quells conflict, whose wrath is reserved for monsters and tyrants, and whose footsteps pattern the path of hard-won redemption.

Secret Backstory:
In the depths of his soul, reinbeast raid fears that the rage which fuels his power could one day eclipse his oath, dooming him to repeat the mistakes of his ancestors. Unknown to most, he carries a curse branded by a rival shaman during his clan’s twilight—a glyph etched just beneath his armor. When he falters in conviction or allows fury to rule, dark whispers urge him toward merciless violence. He keeps this secret close, burdened by the fear that, beneath his noble intent, a savage beast still lurks. Reinbeast’s truest test is not against the monsters of the world, but the shadow within. He quietly seeks magical means to break the curse, if only he can embrace his own vulnerability enough to ask for help.

Age: 36
Alignment: Lawful Good

Personality:
Reinbeast raid exudes a powerful presence, radiating a disciplined restraint that tempers his formidable physicality. He is stoic in adversity and slow to anger, but when roused, his fury is both righteous and fearsome—always aimed at injustice or cruelty. Reinbeast is stalwartly loyal to those under his care, refusing to abandon an ally or innocent, even at personal cost. He values honor and personal growth above all, often counseling hot-headed warriors to rise above mindless slaughter and seek purpose beyond vengeance. Compassion surprises those who only see his brutal exterior; he speaks with patience to the frightened, and will shield the smallest creature from harm. Yet, he struggles with self-forgiveness and sometimes feels unworthy of the peace he brings others, believing true redemption is never complete. Though reserved, his words are carefully chosen, and he listens before judging. He finds trust difficult to extend, but once given, it is unwavering.

Mannerisms:

• Rests a gauntleted hand on his shield when deep in thought
• Tends to kneel after victory, offering silent thanks to his ancestors
• Growls softly before launching into battle
• Sharpens his weapon methodically, even during casual conversation

Catchphrases:

• “Let my oath be the weight that rights the world.”
• “Strength means standing for those who cannot rise.”
• “The beast within can be tamed, but never slain.”
• “By honor and by blood, I will not falter.”

Speech Style:
His voice is gravelly and firm, resonant with the depth of a seasoned orc yet carrying surprising warmth. Sentences are measured and direct, sometimes laced with poetic cadence. He rarely shouts; instead, authority and conviction lend quiet power to his words.

Appearance:
Reinbeast raid is a towering orc whose frame is draped in layers of weathered steel and scarred, ceremonial hides. His armor is decorated with woven red cords and bone clasps, echoing the colors of the Bloodstone Peaks. A heavy shield emblazoned with his clan’s crest is slung across his back, and a spiked warhammer hangs at his hip, both bearing runes of protection. Reinbeast’s skin is a dark, stormy green, marked by the faded glyph of a curse on his collarbone. Braided black hair spills from beneath his battered helm, and his tusks jut stoutly from a battleworn jaw. Tribal tattoos spiral down his left arm, a record of victories and moments of mercy granted. His presence is intimidating, but his posture is upright, with a sense of calm vigilance and ironclad self-mastery.
