"Shooting first and thinking later
probably isn't the best course of action, but
I haven't died yet!"

Caught in a blizzard in the cold militaristic nation of Karrnath as a young child, Snowy was rescued and taken in by Viktor - a former soldier that deserted Karrnath's military, finding their widespread use of necromancy for an undead army heinous. Having no memory prior to the storm, Snowy was taught by Viktor to hunt and survive in the caves underneath the snow-covered mountains of Karrnath, secluded from society. Tragically, Viktor was murdered and resurrected after an unknown necromancer attacked their home. Snowy was forced to put her father to rest - and lost track of the assailant in the process.With a newfound hatred for undeath, Snowy aimlessly wandered around Karrnath until they reached the borders of The Mournlands, where refugees flocked to her in an effort to survive after devastation. News reached her that the man who killed Viktor was located in Sharn, and Snowy left her newly crowded home to hunt her father’s murderer.Finding it their best chance to grow in strength and power, Snowy now works for Daask. She considers the party their first friends, undertaking a new goal to protect them. As their journey continues, Snowy recovers more and more flashes of their life before the blizzard, and a longing to discover the mystery of their forgotten past pushes them forward.

FINCH

“It's easy to say you've been marked
for death, harder to say you gave
them the gun."

Wanted to lose it all. Nothing to a name.In the dimly lit lanterns of a bar in the melting pot that is Sharn, Finch appeared before three unlucky strangers. Always looking to line their pockets with fresh coin, Finch found themself wrapped up in more than a job to find a “simple” Ledger with his newfound associates.After traveling for a big payout as graciously extended by his harpy informant, Nightsky Caza, Finch was suddenly tossed back into the waiting storm of possible war. No one. Just a debt to claim. If she had known this would spiral into the current and tentative work with Daask, would Finch have traveled with their new companions?Though unknown to the party it seems that Finch may have a past a bit more intricately woven into this grand story despite her attempts to cut ties.
But luck, good or bad, would be obliged. As the tale progresses, will Finch have to confront their past? Will he find happiness and possibly even love at the edge of a quill? Or will the ink continue to bleed on every page no matter how many stories they try
to write?

"For all the knowledge I've sought out,
I've learned far too late that some things
are better left unknown."

Originally hailing from the Eldeen Reaches, Sylvanus has no memory of their family or early childhood, only faintly recalling a strange supernatural experience they had deep in its forests. Finding himself alone and naïve to the ways of the world beyond as a young fawn, he spent his days wandering wherever their whims carried them, driven by his curiosity for all things unknown and magical in nature.Their deep fascination with magic and passion for study led them to Fairhaven University in Aundair where he was recruited into the war against his will and forced to serve as a researcher of weaponized magic. At the height of the war, Sylvanus made a pact with an unknown entity that called themselves The Seeker in desperation to give his superiors the knowledge they demanded. Failing to comprehend the danger they were in until far too late, Sylvanus quickly found themself at the mercy of their patron in return for limitless knowledge and power.Sylvanus found themself working for Daask at the instruction of The Seeker. Only with the aid of a new patron, The Stage, was he able to break free of their control and cast their presence from his mind. But The Seeker may return to exact their vengeance at any moment...
