Background and Bio:
Galen Criss began life rather un-remarkably despite his heritage. Like something out of a fairy tale, he was unceremoniously left on the doorstep of a prominent family who kept an inn where he was raised as one of their own. As best as can be guessed, an elf maid gave birth to the Galen, but realizing the strife and belittling he would suffer amongst the haughty elves, decided to put him with a human family instead. Galen has no knowledge of his elf family, nor even his elfin name. He has only a small unremarkable charm with an elf symbol upon it that he wears upon his wrist.

The Criss Family Inn, while typical, is a fairly large inn for the region and often hosts entertainers of various kinds. While growing up, Galen always took special interest in these vibrant visitors and imagined the life of travel and adventure they must have. Galen assisted such entertainers in whatever manner he could in between his inn-keeping duties. He kept musical journals, collected sheet music, and practiced his singing whenever he could. One winter (when guests are sparse), Galen studied with a mentor, a bard named Stephen, who was staying at the inn during the cold season. By the end of the winter, Galen had the basics of the trade and had taken on the title of Bard.

Galen's human family was initially dismayed at his choice to not take up inn-keeping directly, as they were hoping that Galen would run the family business at some point in the future. However, they ultimately understood that Galen was special and needed to experience some of the world in order to realize the virtues of settled life and a stable profession. Whether he learns this lesson remains to be seen. While Galen wants to learn of the bigger world and find adventure, he secretly longs to know more of his elf heritage. Having nothing to go on besides his charm, he just decides to head out and see if he can find some random bit of evidence that he can follow up on.

Galen Criss favors human features and his upbringing among humans has likewise given him mostly human mannerisms and inclinations. He is naturally charismatic and enjoys the attention of admirers. He has blue eyes of a shade that is not generally seen in the local population, and he has light brown hair. He is a tad shorter and slighter than his human friends, but his generally friendly demeanor means that he has always had his backside looked after by others who are protective of him. Galen tends to wear outdoorsy styles of clothing, browns and greens being most common. He generally sings of topics such as travelers, forests, and maidens needing rescue.
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?

Background and Bio:
Saeloria comes from a long line of Magic-Users. Her father, and his father before him and so on, is an advisor to Gunnar Thiamond, ruler of the Empire of the Rune. Family folklore claims that her family are descendants of the Archaeans and her parents were very adamant that she learn the language. While she is fluent in it, she wonders if the stories are true as she has never yet met anyone else who speaks it.

Growing up every waking moment was spent learning magic and everything to do with magic. She was a very quick study and soaked up everything that she was taught. Since her studies were effortless she became bored very easily and eventually grew tired of the palace life. This led to much “experimentation” and resulted in numerous accidents from miscast spells. With her father becoming more and more exasperated with her shenanigans, he was relieved, although he would never admit it, when she announced that she was leaving to begin a life of adventure.

Having been raised around royalty and being an only child, she does have a stubborn streak and a palace-sized attitude. While she finds the adventuring life exciting and invigorating, she can be a diva at times and will bathe and primp herself whenever possible, making sure she is always well-stocked with soaps and perfumes.

Several events have combined to bring her out into the Wildlands – her sense of adventure and boredom of palace life, curiosity aroused by the rumours of rising tensions throughout the land, and the desire to ascertain whether or not the stories of her ancestors are actually true.

The problem with doing something really stupid to impress people is that they may just be impressed by how stupid you really are.

Background and Bio
Background: merchant
Specialty: Scout

Selene is the daughter of merchant parents. Her parents traded mundane household items at their shop. Growing up, Selene spent many hours helping out and learning the family business. The work came naturally to her, she was good with customers and good with figures.
She learned that she was good at a lot of other things, too. If she wanted, she could move so silently that she would appear as if out of nowhere and take someone by surprise. It amused her greatly to play this prank on her family, who were perhaps not so amused. During her spare time at the shop she would test the locks on the doors and strongboxes, then announce her findings to her parents. She would also often spot the pickpockets and shoplifters trying their luck at the shop.
When not at the shop, Selene spent time with friends, among whom she was quite popular. She was also very interested in history and magic, though she learned very little of these, for there was no one in the town to answer her questions, nor was there a library. Thus did she happily spend her childhood, either with friends, at the shop, or wondering about the world.
Then the time came for her to choose a trade or a husband. Her parents hoped she would continue the family business, but though she found it easy, it was also dull and uninspiring. The local thieves guild discreetly tried to recruit her, but ironically, she loathed thieves and thugs. Marriage was out of the question. Eventually, Selene attracted the attention of a recruiter for the Foreign Service. Seizing the opportunity to travel, she joined up. That was over a year ago. Her family haven't heard from her since.

Background and Bio:

Muddle Underdock was born in the village of Quant-By-Lake in the far south of the Shire. Quant-by-Lake's location on a lake that emptied into the South-To-Elfland River made it a busy Trading Post between the Shire and the Otherlands. Muddle's mother was a skullery maid in the town Inn and his father was one of the few halfkind to make a living gambling and traveling with the Otherpeople. Muddle never met his father who went off adventuring and never returned. His mother did his best for him but she died while he was still young during the Great Sweet Potato Blight. The Inn Keeper , a human, allowed Muddle to live in the old ramshackle boathouse under the wharf in exchange for scut work around the Inn.

Muddle, still of an age when most lads were sneaking cookies from their mums cookie jar, soon learned that the Innkeeper was a bit of a scoundrel. At first, he simply used the halfling child to ease drop on his customers, but later he had him rummage through their belongings for valuables. Muddle was a happy lad as he learned more and more about the scoundrel trade. Under the tutelage of the Innkeeper he learned to pick the simple locks people used on their baggages and how to slit a purse open and be gone before the mark knew it was missing. He was eating well and a nearly dry home to sleep in. Then one day a heist went bad and the Innkeeper was killed in the fracas that followed. It seems a powerful wizard was masquerading as a simpleton bard and didn't take kindly to the Innkeepers ways. The ensuing fireball not only fricasseed the innkeeper but it engulfed the entire Inn before it burned out. Muddle's face was badly scarred by the flames and he just barely crawled to the lakeside before he lost consciousness.

When he awoke he found an aged and smelly human, wearing tattered robes, chanting over his wounds. Though they healed fast the scarring never went away. His mouth and cheeks were pulled tight and stretyched his scarred and shriveled skin downward. His eyebows were permantly burned away and a jagged scar from a falling timber made hash out of his forehead. The skin around his eyes pulled up and away to stretch them into ovals that tapered to a point on either side. Overall, his face had the appearance of a death mask of some heinous demon. The cleric took him under his wing and trained him in the ways of his God. They left the Shire and Muddle soon learned that the Otherlands were in a state of chaos from the orc wars. Starvation was everywhere and the people had little to give to a traveling pair of clerics. The healing abilities of the old man was in great demand, but the noblemen of whatever village they found themselves in would always demand their service first to the detriment of the people. Young Muddle found in his heart the presence of God and that presence encouraged him to take what he could from these noblemen while the Old man worked, and redistribute it to the people who needed it most. He soon found that his old skills worked hand in hand with his new purpose in life.

Over time prosperity returned to the land and the crops became plentiful. Muddle still stole from the rich, but less and less went to the poor. The old man finally grew to old to travel and retired to an abbey. Muddle still sent money back to support him and he still made contributions to the temples he passed, but mostly, Muddle was just wandering. He was without purpose and he was looking for that one thing that would make his faith burn as bright as the sun.
