Izzy
Isidore Welkinmav—though she prefers to go by Izzy—is an air genasi fighter and jewelry artisan. She is around 25 years old, a little over 5 feet tall, and features pale blue skin, white hair, and purple eyes.
With potential customers, she is bubbly and animated, often hovering midair in her enthusiasm to advertise the fine jewelry she’s crafted—necklaces, rings, and bracelets that dangle at her belted waist like a dancer’s hip skirt. She is practically a walking (or rather, “floating”) Etsy shop—or a Gena-tsy shop, if you will. But don’t be fooled by her naïve optimism. Wielding a scimitar in each hand, Izzy is quick to defend the vulnerable, avenge the exploited, and thwart the evilized.
Celestine
Celestine Peacechild, is a human cleric of Tempus. At 5’3” and full of muscle she makes for a solid figure underneath the black habit of her order. She is older than most of her peers at 45, but still seeks the thrill of adventuring and continues to travel the world; but always returns home to the city of Baldur’s Gate to spend time with her husband and children. And her little grandchildren!
Celestine strongly believes that peace can only come after war has been fought, and enforces this belief with her giant War Maul that she carries (somehow) concealed beneath her habit. Within the church of Tempus, she belongs to a specific chapter that was formed years ago in an infamous battle in the far east city of Arabelle.The Order after the Battle of Arabelle, or the Order of Arabelle. While there are some unpleasant rumors about her chapter, she continues to serve loyally and protect those around her. She will go to any lengths to protect her friends and those she loves.
Usarkar
The scion of the withering Pryde family, Lord Pryde is a shadow of a man, tall, thin, and gaunt, with sable hair beginning to hint at grey, a face caught between the strength of his prime, and the looming curtain of age. He’s not as old as he might appear, but it is said in whispered rumor that the Pryde family pass quickly to the Fugue plane.
Lord Pryde doesn’t intend to spend his days in decadent decline. Instead he seeks to leave a mark upon Faerun, and have the realms remember his family name again. He uses his keen eye, sharp commands, and uncanny knack for preparation to lead his allies to victory.
Given his introspective, studious, and logical take on life, it could be easily asked why he isn’t studied in the magical arts; however, He has a strong familial disdain for magic going back to the old legend of King Pryde.
Kurt
Kurt Bearnhardt is a human barbarian and loggerman. He is a broad man of simple things, content with good food and hard work. His gentle manner fades if provoked, though. Much like his namesake, a bear’s fury rages in his heart.
Westley
Westley Edridge, a human sorcerer, is a starry-eyed idealist. Though he dreams of becoming a famous minstrel, he is bound by his responsibilities to his family and his town. Westley’s family owns the illustrious Eldridge Exchange, a respected shop trading in goods and sundry for Greenest and the surrounding area. As the eldest of the Eldridge children, he has been learning the family business and was set to begin that path in earnest, when the disaster struck. The Siege of Greenest threw Westley’s whole life into chaos as he must hunt down the Cult of the Dragon to reclaim a priceless artifact tied to Greenest’s future, the Fang of Agmar Kree.
