Leaning on his staff for balance, the man bends over, no longer able to stand upright. Alteration magic can only do so much to ward off old age, and Nezhun barely gives himself another half century. Usually dressed in black robes and a black hat, Nezhun uses alteration magic to keep his gray hair and beard flowing.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: With the Council falling apart, Nezhun knew something needed to be done to safeguard the future of Lakeshire. He decided to discuss the matter with Lord Beremin Hammond, Major of the town, and Drackson, Captain of the guard, and informed them of his plans to take half a dozen apprentices in the arts of Wizardry. The others agreed, but Drackson suggested that if Nazhun could find enough female volunteers, he should stick to that. He preferred that any young man who wished to aid the town in one way or another would be able to make himself useful as a member of the guard.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(http://age-of-chivalry.com/smf/avatars/aoc_avatars/Swordsman.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Drackson, Captain of the Guard</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Human<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Guardsman<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 9<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 6<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 6<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 8<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 7<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 33<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 11"<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 185lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Muscular<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Terran, Greenskin<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Drackson is pretty much always seen in his armor, sword and shield on his sides, if not in his hands. He rarely wears a helmet, preferring people to recognize him, revealing his curly black hair and his beard. Several scars mark his face.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Drackson joined the guard at a young age, and quickly earned the trust of his commanding officers with his devotion, honesty and skill in combat. It didn't came as much of a surprise when the former captain died, Drackson, who had worked himself up to the rank of officer by then, was appointed as his successor. Drackson had been worried about the increase in numbers of barbarians, greenskins and reptiles long before the plague hit, but especially now that he was undermanned he had his head in total worries as he had no clue how to save his beloved town.<br/><br/>Growing desperate, Drackson paid good gold to adventurers and mercenaries that were passing through, making it worth their stay if they had the courage to stand their ground. But even that wasn't enough. As a last resort, he turned to Nazhun, and asked him if, no, told him that his apprentices had to be ready, or the town would fall.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(http://TO COME.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Lord Daragan Hammond, Major of Lakeshire</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Human<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Nobleman<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 5<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 7<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 3<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 8<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 3<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 24<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 8"<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 142lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Slim<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Sylvan, Terran.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Daragan rarely made his appearance before he became major, and hasn't changed since. He mostly resigns in the private quarters of the town hall, with the excuse that he has a city to govern. When he does come out, he appears as a slender person, dressed in finely tailored silk and soft leather boots, his neck and fingers beset by jewellery. He has a hawk's nose, and long, sleek black hair that's often tied together into a ponytail.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Daragan is the cousin of the former major, Beremin Hammond. Beremin suffered from the plague, and when it was clear, he wouldn't make it, eyes turned to Beremin's younger brother Thotin. However, one morning, Thotin's body was found on the outskirts of the street, heavily mutilated, it was assumed the orcs or the barbarians got him and slaughtered him. When Beremin died two days later, no siblings remained alive, so their cousin Daragan was the next in kin, and quickly chosen as the next major.<br/><br/>Some people say Daragan is one of the worst majors they had, with only ill befalling them since he was in control of the town. Of course, he had the misfortune of gaining power when things went downhill.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(http://img2.gelbooru.com//images/714/fbc239b18413121619e92ce30aeab65afb7d8298.png?856259)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Samuel Hawkeye, Innkeeper</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Human, Elven heritage.<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Innkeeper<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 6<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 7<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 8<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 10<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 5<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 45<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 5"<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 137lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Small<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Sylvan, Terran, Greenskin, Draconic.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Samuel is the grandson of an elf, and visibly so. He's shorter than the average human, his face is sleeker, and with his long blond hair kept together in a ponytail, the small points on the top of his ears is quite prominent. There is no reflection of his heritage in the clothes he's wearing, usually consisting of a thick leather outfit, a reminiscent of his days as an adventurer. Samuel always appears cheerful, even during this dark period. His daughter Alice is his only real worry, and the plague seems to have affected neither of them.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Samuel used to be an adventurer. Due to his keen senses, Samuel managed to avoid many a peril during those days that would have outright killed him, would it have gone unnoticed. Near the end of that dangerous career, Samuel travelled in a group together with one lady that had stolen his heart, Diane Blueflower. The couple was close, and eventually Diane birthed him a daughter which they named Alice. As they decided to settle down and travelled to Lakeshire, the caravan they accompanied got ambushed by barbarians. While they managed to fight the barbarians off, Diane was slain in the process.<br/><br/>While regretting the loss of his beloved, Samuel continued his travel to Lakeshire, and used the treasures he gathered over the years to establish a small inn, called the Rain's Shelter, as he tried to raise Alice as best as he could. Lately, with the plague hitting the town and the monsters all around, the inn is nearly empty, and only the reserves of Samuel's treasure is what keeps things still going. The reserves won't last for more than a year or two, before Samuel will run into bigger problems.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(http://maskworld.scene7.com/is/image/maskworld/300260-heidi-kostuem-costume)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Alice Hawkeye, Innkeeper's daughter</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Human, Elven heritage.<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Female<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Innkeeper<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 9<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 3<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 7<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 3<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 21<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 2"<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 131lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Well-proportioned<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Sylvan.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: Alice has just enough elven blood in her veins to come across as slightly exotic, her eyes sharper than the common human, slight points at the top of her ears and slender fingers, without preventing her body from being curved in all the right places. She often sports a wide smile on her face, and her curly blond hair reaches just past her shoulders. Her style of dress, somewhat disliked by her father, but not forbidden, shows quite a bit of cleavage, and emphasizes her round bum.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Alice is the daughter of Samuel and Diane. Her mother died when she was still a baby, and Alice has no mental recollection of her. She doesn't know better than living with her father in the Rain's Shelter, one of Lakeshire's inns, and the only one still remaining since the plague hit the town. Her father always used to tell her tales of back when he was out adventuring, and Alice has always dreamed of going out there, on an adventure of her own, just like her father did. However, recent times changed her view on things. With the plague and the rumors of all those creatures, she was happy to live under the roof her father provided for them.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatright">(http://TO COME.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Hargan, son of Taurgan, Blacksmith</span><hr/><br/><strong>Race</strong>: Dwarf<br/><strong>Gender</strong>: Male<br/><strong>Type</strong>: Blacksmith<br/><br/><strong>Health</strong>: 9<br/><strong>Will</strong>: 7<br/><strong>Charm</strong>: 4<br/><strong>Strength</strong>: 9<br/><strong>Perception</strong>: 7<br/><strong>Agility</strong>: 4<br/><br/><strong>Age</strong>: 157<br/><strong>Height</strong>: 5' 2"<br/><strong>Weight</strong>: 242lb.<br/><strong>Figure</strong>: Muscular<br/><br/><strong>Languages</strong>: Common, Terran, Reptile.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance</strong>: A proud dwarf, Hargan does not stand very tall, but he's more than broad enough to make up for that. Hargan is usually clad in the hardened leather vestments that protect him as he works in the smithy. His long white beard is tied into three separate braids, and when he's at work, they're tugged into his vestments to prevent them from catching fire.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Hargan fell in love with a human lass called Elizabeth. He managed to win her heart and moved to live with her in Lakeshire. Making use of his finer knowledge of the craft of smithing, Hargan made good business by starting his own blacksmith. Business continued to go well, and he took in several apprentices that helped him on the business. Despite the plague, Hargan's business continues to florish, as more people request arms to be forged for them than ever before.<br/><br/>Hargan tries to spend as much time as he can with his wife Elizabeth, who is still sick from what seems to be the plague's effect, but he has no intent to let the people of Lakeshire down, and continues to work in the smithy, crafting various tools, weapons and armor, as the requests keep piling in.<br/><br/><hr/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><em>Player characters</em></span></span></div><hr/>
