These bastards be crazy
Dumbledwarf:
Race: Dwarf
Class: Summoner
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Gender: AMAB (he/him)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Born and raised in the River Kingdoms, Durgoff Orendell, who prefers to go by Dumbledwarf, is a master of disguise and deception. He was raised among thieves, and after losing his adoptive family in a skirmish, he took to running small-scale scams as a phony fortune teller. When he was caught in the act by a disgruntled former mark, he was pursued and nearly drowned after facing a brutal beating. Much to his surprise, he was saved by a mysterious stony creature who called itself Moriel. The eidolon had been watching Dumbledwarf and liked the tricks he pulled.
Nowadays, Dumbledwarf and Moriel travel the lands pulling scams and stealing things together. After helping free the trox fighter Jebediah from a bear trap, he gained a friend of sorts, and the two later joined up with Tildan Acquisitions. Dumbledwarf is something of a prankster, who enjoys pulling practical jokes on his fellow party members, such as filling Sir Ratticus' hat with water, jamming Jebediah's switchscythes, or casting summon spells to convince Sosuke he's under attack by evil yo-kai.
Jebediah:
Race: Trox
Class: Fighter
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Gender: AMAB (he/him)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
A nomad by heart, Jebediah travelled the world with no particular goal for much of his life. All of that changed when he was thrust into conflict with slavers taking advantage of his people. Now, Jebediah works with his party to bring freedom to the trox race. To his friends, he is an enigma they can't hope to understand. A man from an unknown land speaking a foreign tongue. A weapon of rage-fueled mass destruction.
A rage-filled man, Jebediah seeks nothing less than death and destruction to the enemies of his people. Constantly on guard and unable to effectively communicate with the group, Jebediah is the odd one out, the party's black sheep. But deep down, he cares for his friends, and he knows they feel the same, even if he can't understand their tongue.
Sir Ratticus:
Race: Ratfolk
Class: Gunslinger
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Gender: AMAB (he/him)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Born in the Mana Wastes, Chusk quickly took on the mantle Sir Ratticus to seem more intimidating. He ruled over petty gangs before his clan was decimated in a large-scale conflict with mutated orcs. After this, he began a repentant life of travel, righting wrongs and living by a "way of the gun" he speaks of to none. Even his closest companions simply know him as the rat with the boomstick, the wise words, and the killer cooking skills.
Sosuke:
Race: Half-elf
Class: Samurai
Alignment: Lawful Good
Gender: AMAB (he/him)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Raised among the nobility of Minkai, Sosuke has spent much of his long life in search of revenge. Ever since that fateful night when he lost his home and father to a crime syndicate. He has been systematically hunting down and killing members of the syndicate for years, and he remains ronin to this day.
