At campaign start, all characters are Zero XP Level 1 characters who have been fully equipped for travel. Each player was provided with a background applied to the campaign setting per their stated preferences in story direction. Each player was also provided with a hardcopy of the relevant Geography & History knowledge for their character, to be expanded upon as the campaign progresses.
The group of characters will enter the story in Fallcrest, having become casual acquaintances over the last week of story-time. Each character has already been supplied with Adventure Hooks in their background information, some of which will carry the group to different encounters. These characters are:
Caelyn Silverflame
Female Eladrin Warlord
Caelyn is a tall, athletic Eladrin with striking violet eyes, warm coffee skin, and brilliant silver-tipped, golden hair. A classic Eladrin beauty, her good looks are not the only thing that draws attention to her. Her bearing shows pride and confidence, and her step speaks of military training. Most often, she wears a finely ringed hauberk of chainmail over leather & mail leggings, trod with a pair of well-fitted reinforced leather boots. At her hip is a well-maintained longsword, slung easily in its scabbard. When prepared for battle, reinforced leather gauntlets protect her knuckles and wrists, and her steel light shield will be held to her left arm. Fitted for travel, her shield is likely to be slung over her back, atop a fur-lined, oiled-leather cloak. When traveling or adventuring, she also carries a crossbow with her, generally strapped to her pack along with a case of steel-tipped bolts. Caelyn meticulously cares for her gear, and it shows.
Kaedir of the Woodsinger Clan
Male Elven Ranger
Dark of hair with tanned skin, Kaedir's Woodsinger heritage is immediately visible. His eyes are a brilliant blue that deepens with his mood, or pales to match the sky when he laughs. He moves with the easy grace of his people, and even when resting he seems ready to pounce should need arise. Kaedir is almost always found clad in his leathers, ready for his next adventure. His tunic, bracers, breaches, and boots are all tanned a rich brown and tooled with patterns of leaves and vines. He wears a longsword sheathed at one hip and a dagger on the other, and almost always has his bow in his hand. A fine quiver of broad-bladed arrows hangs just over his right shoulder, and his cloak of browns and greens will be turned over to reveal it when he is ready for battle. Slung just next to the quiver is a well-sharpened handaxe, kept there just in case an enemy is near enough to prevent him from drawing his next arrow.
Leeandra Darkmoon
Female Shifter Druid
Leeandra's bright yellow eyes... the eyes of a wolf... are the first thing one notices when meeting her. Her olive skin makes her eyes stand out even more, and it suits her raven hair perfectly. The feral features of her Longtooth blood do not detract from her human beauty, but the sudden flash of her canines when she smiles might give pause to the weak of heart. Then well-stitched, soft-cured hide armour that she wears seems to add to her her untamed look, while the carved wooden toggles, leather ties and, small ivory bits decorating her attire lend her a mystical air. She does keep a sling over her belt near a pouch of stones, and she carries a spear when traveling, but when set for combat she prefers to have her hands free so she can use her claws.
Luxa Shadowfox
Female Eladrin Rogue
Luxa's youth seems magnified by her fine-boned Eladrin heritage. At first glance, her slight figure and short stature make her appear even younger than she is - a tool she has learned to use to her advantage over the last five years. If one manages to look beyond the deceptive innocence, Luxa is a very pretty young woman just coming into her own. In no time at all she will be using her long lashes, turquoise eyes, and captivating smile to talk the unsuspecting out of trinkets she might otherwise have to resort to cutting purses for. When one settles in and takes a good look at her, Luxa's very, very long golden hair will often catch attention. Unbound, it reaches nearly to her ankles, but she usually keeps it braided and tucked into her belt to keep it out of the way. Everything about Luxa's usual attire is kept simple and flexible. Her leather armour fits her well, though careful observation reveals that it was likely scavenged over time. Every piece is in good repair, but it was obviously not originally a set. She wears dark, neutral colors to help her blend into the background, and the shortsword and dagger sheathed on her back are tied down snuggly to keep them from rattling around. She can produce a sling quickly if she has a need for one, but, like everything else, it is kept pocketed tightly away. Young she may be, but years of taking care of herself has made her cunning and sharp. When she wants, she can practically vanish in a crowd or fade into the shadows... and when she moves, there is no sound at all.
Maxim of the Southreach
Male Human Sorcerer
Tall and broad of shoulder, Maxim is every inch an athlete, physically. He carries himself with dignity and pride that tells the tale of his education and quick mind, and his manners tend toward the courtly. His olive skin and slight accent betray his Southreach heritage, while his yellow-green eyes speak of something beyond that deep in his blood. Maxim tends to come across as quiet and reserved, but when he does speak, his rich, deep voice and charming personality make it a trivial matter for him to make friends or convince others to see things his way. His long jet hair and well-groomed beard seem to be a perfect match to his finely-embroidered robe and cloak, and he is almost never without his ebonwood staff, which is intricately carved and capped with bronze and crystal. Additionally, a well-made dagger hangs at his hip, next to an oiled leather pouch.
