The Tank |
- Age:
28 (May 8) - Height:

The only thing Garrett learned from knight school before he was forcibly removed was how to fight and handle all sorts of weapons. Garrett has little patience or respect for the rules, but he means well and puts other’s well being before his own. He is very enthusiastic about adventuring maybe a LITTLE too much of a thrill seeker for his compatriots. He’s kind hearted and genuinely invested in protecting other people from danger.
- himbo and short king
- middle child
- possibly too positive an attitude.
- enthusiastic about his special interests (swords)
- superstitious and fears the supernatural
Combat skills - formal weapons training from a young age, versatile and general knowledge of different weapons. Has a strong defense and can take a lot of hits, attacks are relatively calculated but slow. In D&D terms he'd be a fighter (weapons master) and/or paladin without the magic)
Role on Team - the tank; as co-leader of the party, also helps find jobs and organize excursions, makes sure the team is properly equipped and supplies stay stocked, has basic outdoor survival skills.
Appearances
Has that "dad bod" and likes food and beer too much to bother with body building, but he's STRONG (power lifter kind of muscle).

Celeste romanticizes the adventuring life and thinks its all about seeing new places and meeting new people and quickly learns there's more to it than traveling. Celeste is not exactly cut out for combat or the adventuring life style, but she brings much needed charm to the team and valuable interpersonal skills. She's extremely bubbly, friendly and feminine.
- Really can’t deal with seeing any of the boys anything less than fully clothed.
- Likes the idea of dating in theory, but struggles with closeness even on a friend level.
- She's eager to please people she looks up to or wants to impress and sometimes puts her own happiness aside to make that possible.
Magical Abilities - Celeste she studied at Blekwelts College in all arcane subjects and then some. Has an interest in more traditionalist magic and the supernatural (she will not admit its necromancy), which is antithetical to what she learned in school and considered taboo in most places so she tends not to mention it. Magic comes to her naturally, she is able to manipulate it based on intuition and feeling rather than complex spell work. In D&D terms she'd be a sorcerer.
Role on Team - she can cast "big magic" and has the ability to deal with the supernatural. She also excels at public relations when it comes to looking for work.
Appearances
Petite, tends to have a "bohemian" fashion sense and loves accessorizing. Hair is naturally that color and curly/frizzy (sometimes not pictured as so oops).
Background
College Years
Age 16-21 - Takes continuous semesters as Blekwelts and starts interning with the Guild in Notrington.
Present
Age 22 - Joins Garrett and Cooper's adventuring party as they travel to the city of Colkirk.
Relationships & Connections
Working for/with Garrett Freeflower and Cooper Bullettooth - Celeste feels safe with them and is eager to show them she can pull her own weight on the team.
- Appreciates that Cooper Bullettooth trusts her to do paperwork, but she rather not do paperwork. They both eagerly take part in gossip or discussing the latest fashion or the minor inconvenience of the day, like teenage girls. They are on the same side when it comes to how long they can stand to sleep outside and go without a shower.
- Garrett Freeflower is like her uncle - he is friendly, wants to “be real” and teach her basic survival skills. He’s always encouraging her, but they have very little in the way of common interests.

Erothian |
Male |
Ambush Melee |
- Age:
28 (November 10) - Height:
6'1" (1.85m)
Cooper is a charismatic people person despite his looks. Dropped out of school to travel and adventure with his childhood friend Garrett, leading to the eventual creation of their adventuring party. Spends most of his time reading, researching and doing paperwork and organizing his teammates. He enjoys the adventuring line of work, but doesn’t like being in the wilderness for extended periods of time.
- High functioning anxiety and self medicating about it to chill out
- Confused Nationality/Racial Identity (in D&D he'd be classified as a Tiefling)
- Garrett is the only person outside of Cooper’s family that knows his full name.
- Has many enchanted items - will enchant to make his life more comfortable/convenient, but takes a long time to develop runes.
- Keeps extensive notes.
- left handed.
Combat skills - Ambush fighter, strong offense, hits hard and fast at the expense of lower defenses; informal weapons training. In D&D terms, he'd most likely be a fighter barbarian mix.
Magical abilities - Wanted to become a wizard, went to school to study for it but showed no magical aptitude due to his Erothian heritage and was put in the "small magic" program. Through this, he learned magic systems and languages and became adept at metamagic, using written word and runes to create a personal codex for magical equations. Has infused some of his personal affects with custom runes with some success.
- His Erothian heritage also grants him supernatural strength and ferocity in battle, which is often triggered by increased adrenaline. Cooper can tap into this willingly, but is at risk of loosing control the longer he is in this state.
Role on Team - Does most of the paperwork for the team and generally manages everyone.
Appearances
Classic "red devil," yellow eyes, slit pupils, sharp teeth but no horns. Distinct scar on his lip (left side) and a missing chip in his right ear. Soft scaling/plates down his spine and on the base of his tail, has claws but keeps them filed down. Has a number of magic items he keeps on his person at all times - magic rings, leather bracelet with custom runes. Outside of combat/traveling, appreciates finer well made clothing and likes having an occasion to "dress up" despite his wardrobe looking like it needs an update.
Background
Childhood & Early Life
Ages 5-17 - Moved to new neighborhood where he met and befriended Garrett. Attended school. Was a shy/lanky child, had a big growth spurt around highschool age. Did well in school, didn’t purposefully break rules, absolute nerd.
College
Ages 18-21 - Went to university/college in his hometown of Pethauria at the prestigeous Daxia Institute. Struggled a lot with his studies dropped out a semester before completing his education. Began working at his mother’s jewelry business afterwards as something to do.

Present
Age 27 - has been working as a freelancer for a number of years and just formed a subsidiary adventuring party with Garrett.
Relationship & Connections
- Garrett Freeflower - Childhood friends, close as brothers. Generally unafraid to share things with and tease each other. They keep each other’s secrets and support each other’s interests/endeavors. Genuinely love each other (platonic).
- He trusts Celeste Elvar the most when it comes to paperwork, and is more than a little intimidated by her magical abilities compared to his own.
