Ilenys is a 20 year old half-elf with brown hair that comes down pas her shoulders and ruby-red eyes. She is about 5'3'' and has a number of scars on her body, which she mostly keeps hidden. She generally wears a bright red, sleeveless dress and a dark red cloak that goes down to her ankles, secured on her shoulders by a gold chain. She has many freckles, a rather large scar on one side of her face that webs out like little bolts of lightning, and a blood red gem tattooed on the center her forehead. A similar looking gem hangs around her neck on a necklace, which she uses as her arcane focus.
Personality: Ilenys comes across as kind, but somewhat naïve. She loves small animals and abhors violence, preferring to talk things out. She always seems hesitant to use her abilities, and when she does use hem she really doesn't seem to be able to control or understand them. She's not paranoid by any means, but is definitely easily startled, having been known to jump at her own shadow. She is neutral good.
Backstory (Can be tweaked to better fit the setting at the dm's discretion): Ilenys was born into a somewhat wealthy family of elves as the result of an affair between her father and a human proustite, something her "mother" never forgave her for. Her father agreed to raise her out of a sense of duty after her mother died in childbirth, but he, along with the rest of the family, only ever viewed her with shame, keeping her in the house most of the time, and treating her like little more than a servant. They were quite a religious family, and as a result, things only got worse for her when her powers started manifesting themselves. Her family not only feared her power, but saw it as justification for her mistreatment. She would have to spend hours locked in her room, with nothing to do but read religious texts, meals being sent up to her, or sometimes without any meals at all. Her stepmother would regularly remind her that her blood was tainted, that her powers were demonic and that the gods were punishing her father through her. Her father was worse, even going so far as beat her, telling her that she could only find forgiveness through pain. It was during one of these beatings that she lashed out unexpectedly, her power pouring like an explosion, injuring her father and leaving her with a permanent scar on her face. This was all the excuse they needed to get rid of her, sending her to a group of religious fanatics who continued her abuse, trading her room for an actual cell. They gave her very little except an amulet, which they told her would help contain her power, the image of which they tattooed onto her, reminding her that pain was her just punishment, a lie she whole heartedly believed. This went on for years, until one guard took pity on her and tried to help her escape. During their escape they got cornered, causing her to react instinctively, her power exploding out of her once more. When the dust had settled, Ilenys realized in horror that while her magic had killed her abusers, the guard who was trying to save her had gotten hit as well. She escaped, but has since been haunted by the memory of the only person who had ever shown her kindness, the person she had killed. Now she does what she can to survive and help others, but only uses her magic as a last resort, fearing that she won't be able to control it, and fearing that her father was right, that her power was evil, that she was evil.
Zarl "Fix it" was abopted by a Pirate crew after they discovered his natural ability to fix things. The crew would mainly just address his as "Zarl Fix it" and point to what ever needed fixed, hence Zarl now addresses him self as Zarl "Fix it". He was giving a work station on boars the ship, and for a year or two things went relatively smooth, until Zarl started experimenting with eldritch Cannons. One day he accidentally set fire to the ship, fearing the pirates he ran. He established a little "Fix it" shop in one of the cities. He was eventually recruited by the local guild and started adventuring.
Axe left his tribe one evening to chop wood. He required additional lumbar for the scaffolding that was being erected around The Egg. One can never have enough lookouts and much of the existing wood had been used to trap the entrance to their den.
The night was long, but productive. He found a number of usable trees quite a distance from home, but was proud of the sled he fashioned to bring the lumbar back.
When he returned that morning, he found his entire clan had been slaughtered. Piles of kobolds littered the floor, bloodied and dismembered. Traps sprung or destroyed, entire tunnels collapsed.
He dropped everything and ran to The Egg. It was missing. Distraught, he ran to the the back of the living quarters where the nest was hidden. This area looked less ransacked, but no living kobolds remained. As he pulled back the curtain to the nesting chamber, he was devastated to find many of the eggs broken or damaged. What sort of monster would do this?
Scouring through the broken shells, he finds 6 eggs that managed to survive the onslaught. Crafting a makeshift egg crate of wood, straw, and board, he carries the remaining eggs from the warren, picks up his axe, and heads off to find a new home for his clan.
Strength and determination flow through him as the spirits of his ancestors guide him on his path.
