Khiansa Bladesong
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Peninsula)
Age: 27
Alignment: Neutral Good
Class: Cleric/Bard (Wacky eh?)
Description: Thanks to me for the avatar.
A youngish dark skinned man with brown eyes and dark brown hair, verging on black. He typically wears an elephant leather chestplate with a tunic on top, and fold over pants. He also has leather vambraces and an elephant leather shoulder pad on his right shoulder. His holy symbol, a gold coin inset with the sigil of Tyche, a goddess from his realm, hangs from a golden chain around his neck.
Equipment and Abilities: Khiansa's weapon of choice is a magic Qiang, taller than he is, with a smooth handle made of elephant ivory and a long silver blade inset with a holy emerald, shaped roughly like a willow leaf. The weapon is good aligned, and is enchanted specially by Tyche, the goddess of fortune to strike true no matter what (plus to attack, increased critical chance and no range penalty, will fly forever.) and to always return to the hand of the bearer if lost.
The Qiang can be thrown or used in melee as a slashing weapon. A Cleric of Mercedes, Khiansa is gifted with great fortune, and he has honed his abilities as both a cleric and bard, to the point where he can use his music to deliver spells.
Backstory: Khiansa is a traveler from a dimension known as 'The Heart' complete with it's own planes and gods. He came to the town through a rift, which has since closed. He seeks a way to eventually get back to his own world, but is willing to spend his time here if need be.
Common Knowledge:
Khiansa isn't native to this world.
Khiansa seems to be extremely lucky, to the point where he strikes true with ridiculous ease and is very difficult to hit if caught in combat.
More knowledgeable types will know he comes from a dimension known as 'The Heart', and arrived through a dimensional rift that opened up near the town.
Even more knowledgeable types will know that his great fortune comes from being a devotee of Tyche, The Heart's goddess of fortune. (Chaotic Good by the way.)
On a bus.

KR-15 (various)
Age: Robot
Race: Robot
Gender: Masculine Programming
Class: Combat Droid 20
Appearance: A circular head with a cycloptic eye and a permanent scowl painted on it atop a robotic body with a Compartment of holding on it. The head can detach and float of it's own accord, and has concealed weapon panels all over it.
Equipment: Many Concealed weapon panels all over the head section. A slim jump pack. Automatic Blaster rifle. Blaster Pistol. Compartment of Holding in chest. Rocket launcher. Several other (small) concealed weapon panels in main chassis. Also has several other bodies ranging from tanks to giant mecha (Gundam, armored core or battletech style) that the head can clip onto and control.
Backstory: Previously PR-Drone Unit-1, KR-15 spent an unfufilling life talking to people at the GLoG visitor's center. Until the day Darkcomet of AMEN came to visit. Wanting a drone of his own, DC stole the drone, and reprogrammed to be eeeeevil. To bad that he wasn't genre savvy enough to know that evil droids always break their obedience programming. After a bout of confusion and trying to kill as many of his successor drones in creative ways, KR-15 now has new meaning, and is now a mercenary for the ACRONYM ORGANIZATIONS, serving as a way for KR-15's player to take part in PLOTs with little story justification other than 'I wanna help too.'
Common Knowledge: Not really. He's too recent for that.
Deceased?

Appearance:
Equipment: A variety of guns, swords, lightsabers and other weapons.
Backstory: Previously the main copy of the deadly assassin droid known as KR-15, this unit was transformed into an organic construct by Kaela. After a few events that I can't be bothered recounting, KR managed to 'acquire' a soul, and shot himself, getting someone else to Reincarnate him with a spell. The new body was female. It's all very interesting, and all on the various threads, so why not see for yourself?
Common Knowledge:
Uncommon Knowledge: KR is in actuality, the mastermind behind K-Corp.

Thinking death too light a punishment, the Sorceror bound him to the words and books he scorned, thinking it ironic the puny wizard would spend eternity dwelling in the books he had loved so much. But in the end, the wizard won.
Common Knowledge: Most people believe upon meeting him is that Lore is an omnipresent entity, one who has been around since the first word was written. This is only half true.
Uncommon Knowledge: Lore is not his real name. Lore was once human.
