Backstory: Forged in the fiery heart of a great foundry, Forge emerged as a warforged fighter with a zeal for combat. Originally created as a foot soldier for a powerful military, Forge's destiny took a different turn when he discovered a love for the art of war.
Unlike his fellow warforged, who often followed orders without question, Forge sought to master the art of combat, honing his skills with every battle. His proficiency with weapons and armor became legendary, earning him the respect of both allies and enemies alike.
As time passed, Forge's quest for mastery led him to become a wandering warrior, seeking out challenges to test his skills. He travels from battlefield to battlefield, always in search of a worthy opponent and the next great adventure. Armed with his trusty sword and shield, Forge's name has become synonymous with courage, skill, and unwavering determination.
Backstory: Kaeris cannot remember much of his life before the incident. What he did know was he was loved by his parents. His father was a former military officer, retired from service after going through a major injury and now working as a butcher for a local village. His mother was a hunter, one that scouted the wood for herbs, berries, and game for her husband to butcher. Ironically, the pair had met during the time the father got his war injury. At the hands of Kae's Mother. Kaeris's mother is a Drow, one that was in a conflict with a number of humans that got too close to their territory. She had actually been the one to injure his father, but was surprised to find herself stuck with his appearance. It was to the point she abandoned her post as a Drow Huntress for him, and thus Kaeris entered into the world.
However, much of his memory only went as far as the incident. At a young age, Kaeris was taken from his home at night, being kidnapped under the cover of darkness. The next thing he knew, he awoken at a ritual circle, bound to the center as its upcoming sacrifice. Kaeris continued to beg and plead for something or anything to answer him. As the ritual dagger was prepared to take his life, though, something seemed to answer Kaeris's pleas. The next thing he knew, the cultists that had kidnapped him seemed to go mad before him, lost in a mixture of laughter, pain, fear, and everything in between. Above Kaeris, some being appeared in the blink of an eye, gently touching his face. Kaeris's flesh burned from the touch of the being, just as it vanished without another sound. Kae then slipped from his restraints and ran, getting as far away as he could from his restraints.
There was just one problem: No matter how hard he thought, he could not remember his home, his family name, or anything else about who he was.
Backstory: Shimmergloom, a fairy born in the Unseelie Court, discovered her passion for the druidic arts during her time as a student at Prismari College. There, she learned to weave magic into her artistic pursuits, finding that her dance and movement could be used to channel the power of nature. (Continued in Spoiler)
Upon completing her studies, Shimmergloom found herself drawn to the woodland community of Thorn Tree, nestled in the heart of the Darkwood. She settled among the Thornfolk, eager to apply her knowledge and skills to the nurturing of the forest and its inhabitants.
As a member of the Thorn Tree community, Shimmergloom spent her days exploring the lush greenery, hidden groves, and swamps surrounding the settlement. She would often be found dancing in the dappled sunlight, her movements a whispered prayer to the spirits of the forest, drawing upon the techniques she had refined during her time at Prismari.
Shimmergloom's Unseelie heritage and artistic background occasionally set her apart from the other Thornfolk, who regarded her with a mix of curiosity and caution. However, her gentle demeanor and genuine desire to learn soon earned her a place among the druids of Thorn Tree, who recognized her unique blend of artistic talent and druidic potential.
Under their guidance, Shimmergloom continued to hone her abilities, learning to channel the power of nature through her art and movement. She discovered that her Prismari training could be adapted to soothe wounded creatures and coax dormant seeds to sprout, enhancing her druidic magic with a touch of artistic flair.
Though still a novice in the druidic arts, Shimmergloom's passion for nature and her commitment to the well-being of the Thorn Tree community drive her to continue her studies. She eagerly assists with the daily tasks of tending to the forest and its inhabitants, while always seeking new ways to blend her Prismari background with her growing druidic knowledge.
As whispers of strange occurrences and potential threats reach the peaceful community, Shimmergloom finds herself ready to embark on a new journey. With her unique combination of artistic talent and druidic abilities, she prepares to explore the wonders and dangers that await her in the vast expanse of the Darkforest and beyond.
Art/Description:
Appearance: Shimmergloom is a mesmerizing young woman who embodies the enigmatic allure of the Unseelie Court. Her raven-black hair flows like an inky river, cascading past her shoulders and framing a face of delicate beauty. Amidst her dark tresses, pointed ears emerge, a testament to her fae heritage. Her pale blue eyes, deep and soulful, hold a captivating intensity that draws the gaze like a moth to a flame.
Standing at a petite height, Shimmergloom's slender frame belies the strength and resilience that lies within. Her light-olive skin is adorned with intricate tattoos, their swirling patterns dancing across her body like living art. Each mark holds a story, a whisper of her journey from the shadowed glens of her birthplace to the hallowed halls of the esteemed Prismari College.
Shimmergloom's attire is a symphony of darkness and mystery, perfectly tailored to her diminutive stature. A lacy bustier top embraces her curves, its midnight fabric a whisper against her skin. A sheer loincloth, daringly slit, reveals the graceful lines of her legs, ending in knee-high boots of supple leather. Stylish blackthorn bracers encase her delicate arms, their dark material a second skin.
Ornate jewelry completes her ensemble, each piece a work of art. A choker necklace encircles her slender throat, its pendant a glimmering star fallen from the night sky. Her belt, slung low on her hips, is adorned with charms and trinkets, each one a memento of her travels and studies.
But it is her wings that truly set her apart. Large and iridescent, they shimmer in hues of blue, purple, and gold, like a butterfly's wings caught in the first light of dawn. When she moves, they flutter gently, stirring the air with a faint hum of magic, a testament to her otherworldly nature.
In Shimmergloom, the wild beauty of the Unseelie Court meets the refined artistry of Prismari. Despite her youth, she carries herself with the grace and poise of one who has walked between worlds. She is a living work of art, a testament to the power of creativity and the allure of the unknown. Her presence is both enchanting and unsettling, a reminder of the mysteries that lie beneath the surface of the world.
Background: Brakudak is a monk born in an elvin village, the day before it was destroyed by several humans who believed the elves were here to invade. Luckily, they took pity on the child and brought him to the monastery, where the monks taught him. Over the course of 100 years, he was taught many techniques by a human monk, whose mastery of the monastic techniques was such that he was able to continue teaching Brakudak until he died. When he died, Brakudak was so upset that he left the monastery and began roaming the world, seeking to prove that the evil in the world really could be destroyed.
Scene (Backstory): Cold damp streets, cast in blood, stone, and sin. This world can be cruel, but this city -- it's something else all it's own. People come here seeking fortune, power, renown, but often leave broken, poorer than when they arrived. This city? It's a city of waste, a place of curdled dreams, cold reality, harsh competition and a foundation built on countless lives.
Me? My name is Burlakh. I'm a Detective and owner to the Ab'lag Detective Agency. Those who know me call me Lakh. This city is my home, my prison, my mistress. I love her, for all the cruelty she gives me, and I protect her from all that threatens to hurt her. Her people are my people, their sins are my life. Who am I to this place? I'm the guy who can find what you need, learn what you can't -- for a price, that is. You come to me when your cousin goes missing. I'll find them, though you may not wish to know where. You want me to help you find your lost pet? Fine, but don't expect it'll be the same as when you lost it. An heirloom was stolen? I'll find it, but it may cost you more than it's worth. Your father was murdered? ...Ah, I'm a sucker for a pretty face. I'll find his killer.
Even now, this city is alive with promise: new enterprise, celebrity doctors, master wizards, kings in commoner's clothing -- it's something to be seen, even marveled. All the while, danger lurks around every corner. A serial murderer stalking the streets, thieves and gangs claiming territory, spreading influence, drugs and counterfeiters flooding the markets with dangerous products; this city is rife with trouble, a black sea ready to drown you if you sink too deep below the surface. But when you feel the need to come up for air, when you find you need a hand and are willing to pay my fee, trust that I'll be there to lead you to the depths and back. This is my city of sins, a city I'm happy to bear.

@Lambastard_13 Nice... I'm very fond of mixing music and musical theme music, etc. with campaigns and characters. I like your choice thanks for sharing. Here's one I'm rather fond of when in comes to film noir, and hardboiled, etc. I've always wanted to do like a Eberron campaign set in Sharn with that sort of flavor!
