Player Characters
The design of the campaign is plot-based, yet character driven, as the PCs might not be the most powerful entities in the land, but the story does revolve around their choices. At the outset of the campaign, each player will start with one character with the Dungeon Master encouraging the players to create characters with meaningful desires, goals, and values. Playable races are available in the Player's Handbook, but additional races must be verified if drawing from other resources. Experience points are awarded depending on level using the tools provided in the Dungeon Master's Guide. Levels are not listed below, but all characters are leveled to stay within at least two levels from the most experienced PC. Characters which have not participated for at least five episodes are not listed. Alignments are limited to any except Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, or Chaotic Evil. Alignments are posted as follows: Lawful Good LG, Neutral Good NG, Chaotic Good CG, Lawful Neutral LN, Neutral N, Chaotic Neutral CN.

His different views on law and good removed him from the process, and now he affiliates himself with the Silver Blades. Omega is usually the main point of attack during combat, putting himself in harm’s way to spare the rest of the party any damage. These tactics once led to his death at the hands of an athach, but he was later raised and returned to the group.
Tharin Overkill [Joe]
Human male neutral good duskblade 7/warlock 11
Tharin is a man without a country, let alone a heritage. Having memories of only a couple weeks before the campaign started, he has wandered throughout Valderin looking for information about where he comes from. His only clue is the unique inscription upon his back. Later events allowed him to come to realize he was not born, but created by a man named Adimarch Verbane.

Being recently resurrected, Tharin continues to seek Verbane to put the missing pieces together.
