Background and Concept Elements

[SHOW]

1. Korram was born into the hardworking culture of Garrund, his mother being a medic at the clinic, his father being one of the throne-guards. From early on, he knew his role was to be a productive member of the dwarven society, and he took up metalwork in his teenage years. Korram was eager to prove his parents proud, as dwarven smithing is one of the most honorable and famous of dwarven crafts.

2. Korram's parents rubbed off on him, and as soon as he was a working member of society, he could clean, sew, and dress wounds with ease and knew the ins and outs of armor and weaponcraft. He was apprenticed under one of the greatsmiths of Garrund, whose names are etched in the archives of history. During his apprenticeship, he learned to forge the finest of tools, weapons, and armor, complete with intricate dwarven designs in the hilts, blades, etc.

3. When he was in his late 20s, Korram became a full-fledged smith, and his skills were tiers above his peers. Within a decade, he was formally recognized by Breios' League, a religious sect that follows Breios, the God of the Craft. Growing up as a dwarf who was respectful and fearful of the dwarven Gods, Korram pledged his service to Breios' League, promising to upkeep certain vows. He worshiped his God through his masterwork smithing abilities.

4. Korram later became one of the greatsmiths, an honor that only 5 dwarves could have. His former mentor had passed on, leaving an open spot that the other smiths thought only Korram could fill. Although he was only 57, quite young for a greatsmith, he proved himself to be quite the asset and was able to make a few pieces for the throneguards, and even the king himself.

5. Although Breios' League has no explicit rules on marriage, Korram never married and likely has no plans to.

6. Now 85, Korram is quite experienced and sagacious, with still enough youthful vigor to make the trek to the south.

Goals

[SHOW]

1.) Korram would like to establish the greatsmith society for the new dwarven fortress, should their mission be successful.

2.) I want Korram to develop strong relationships with the strangers that he will undertake the journey with.

Secrets

[SHOW]

1.) Korram fell in love with a dwarven woman named Jiarra, a miner, during his first years as a greatsmith. She was victim to a terrible mining accident that claimed her life, and since then, in the last few decades, his relationship with the Gods have become increasingly strained.

2.) Korram doesn't know that Jiarra's death was accidentally (or purposefully) caused by Groain.

People Tied to Korram

[SHOW]

1.) Korram's parents - On their last legs of life, Korram's father and mother are proud for all that their son has accomplished in his life.

2.) Jiarra - Korram's lover for a few years, she was killed in an unfortunate smelting accident. He blames the Gods for her death, feeling chafed that they would reward his good work and diligence with punishment.

3.) Grandsmith Grasgol - Now deceased, this man paved the way for Korram's potential to be reached, and is always in the thoughts of the man.

4.) Jirgek - A fellow member of Breios' League who has been on Korram's tail for a few years now about his falling out with the Gods. Actively trying to get Korram expelled from the League because of jealousy.

Memories, Mannerisms, and Quirks

[SHOW]

1.) Korram has lost two of the most influential people in his life, in the last few decades. Even many years past, he thinks about them a lot and does not feel like he needs to move on. He feels that his thoughts of them are his way of paying respect to them after death.

2.) Korram is an older dwarf, and is prone to asserting his increased experience to younger dwarfs. He isn't a hard-heart, but his biting humor and smug toughness may rub other dwarves the wrong way.

3.) Korram loves his smithworking, and is the type to ensure that his allies have the best stock of tools, weapons, etc.

Background - Family/Class/Profession/Institutions

[SHOW]

Family: Raised by a throne-guard and a medic, Korram was a working-class member of society, something that is honorable and has a decent standard of living.

Class: Starting off in the working-class, Korram was elevated to a slightly higher standard of living, being a great-smith. However, he has no interest in lavishness as dwarven nobles do.

Profession: Great-smith. Korram is the crafter of some of Garrund's finest armor, tools, and weapons. Alongside his colleagues, their artisan steel is known to many civilizations.

Institutions: Part of Garrund's 5 Great-smiths, and part of Breios' League.

Drives - Primary/Secondary/Tertiary

[SHOW]

Primary: Korram has a duty to do, and that is to provide his dwarven brethren with the finest weapons, armor, and other crafts that are possible. Because of this, he feels convicted to be part of the group that establishes a new province, to do his duty as a supplier.

Secondary: Part of his drive to go to the south is to have a higher position of power. He isn't the youngest great-smith at Garrund, but he does not hold the highest honors and there are 3 that outrank him. In the south, he will be the first of the new line of great-smiths.

Tertiary: Feeling slightly jaded by his loss of Jiarra and the waning lives of his parents, Korram feels the urge to experience the world as he has not before, and seek out a new life.

[SHOW]

Short-Term: Become friendly with those who travel with him. He will be with them a while, and it'd be nice to be allies in spirit and not just contract.

BACKGROUND AND CONCEPT ELEMENTS

[SHOW]

Personality: Skittish and twitchy due to conditioned reflexes, but when he is needed he mellows out. He can come up with effective plans on the fly, and gets very excited when things explode. Sometimes too excited.

Appearance: Contrary to the stereotypical dwarven frame Duneyrr is very slender, almost fragile looking. This is good because it allows him to quickly remove himself from the potentially dangerous vicinity of alchemical accidents. His hair's color has been leeched away by the various fumes and chemicals he is often surrounded by, so Duneyrr looks older than his actual age. He has some mild scarring from chemical burns on his hands and arms.

Early Life: Born into a relatively wealthy family, Duneyrr never had to do hard labor like some of the lower-class dwarves. His family, though relatively obscure, held stock in one of the largest mining organizations in the kingdom. With the funds provided by this, the family maintained a menagerie of sorts, filled with all manner of surface animals.

The Hobby: As Duneyrr grew, he took a liking to the chemicals and poultices of the family's doctor-figure. Learning from the dwarf, he began to experiment with chemicals, brewing odd concoctions and occasionally exploding things.

GOALS

[SHOW]

1.) Duneyrr wants to get a new start in a place where his family cannot look at him.

2.) I would like Duneyrr to eventually become something of an aristocrat anyway. Oh, the irony.

SECRETS

[SHOW]

1.)
2.) Duneyrr's father has been searching for him in recent times. The poor guy wants to apologize and reinstate Duneyrr to the the family

PEOPLE TIED TO DUNEYRR

[SHOW]

MEMORIES, MANNERISMS AND QUIRKS

[SHOW]

1.) Loud noises will make Duneyrr jump, especially if they aren't expected.

2.) Duneyrr's hair is forever bleached white due to the harsh chemical she comes in contact with.

3.) When he thinks back on the day he was cast out of his home, Duneyrr is grateful that he didn't accidentally blow up his family. His only regret is that ho couldn't make them proud then.

Background and Concept Elements

[SHOW]

Personality: Derrak is a very excitable young man and grows especially excited upon discovering and learning new things. He is an explorer at heart and loves adventuring. Despite this, Derrak is very intelligent and enjoys trivial subjects like history and other academics, which aid him in cartography. Although he's capable of communicating with others just as any other is, he prefers his own company. As he is quite intelligent, especially given his age, Derrak thinks he's always right, a trait that has gotten him in trouble more than a few times. As he is young compared to the other dwarves around, he is often underestimated. When this occurs, he grows angry and tries with every ounce of his being to prove said other dwarves wrong.

Appearance: Unlike many other dwarves, and unlike the dwarf stereotype, Derrak is not thickset. He is much more slender than the others, but this has allowed him to reach even tighter spots while exploring caves and mines. His height, on the other hand, is fairly average for members of his race, standing at 4'5" tall. He has medium-length brown hair, and a goatee of the same color. He has lackluster hazel eyes as well.

Early Life: Derrak was born to a loving family enjoying middle-class life in Garrund. His parents were both highly intelligent scholars and his grandfather Herund was an explorer on the brink of achieving fame. Growing up, both of these forces influenced Derrak. His parents saw great academic potential in him and encouraged intellectual growth. His grandfather, on the other hand, noticed something else: a spark in Derrak's eye from finding new places. Herund began telling stories of his many adventures and Derrak fell in love with exploration. After Derrak grew older, he showed great interest in going exploring, so his grandfather Herund arranged a small expedition for the two. The two climbed, trekked, and walked for hours until they came upon a magnificent crystalline cavern that shimmered in the light of the lanterns. Derrak knew he wanted to explore for the rest of his life like his grandfather.

Exploration and Discovery: Derrak began periodically going on excursions to undiscovered areas, and this worried his parents. They feared not only that he would get lost, but that he didn't care for academics anymore. To mend this problem, they taught him cartography, and he quickly began showing interest and expertise in this field. Derrak soon joined the Garrund Explorers Coalition and the Cartographer's Guild to put his skills to good use. He discovered enormous caverns and mapped out newly constructed mine shafts. After years of the same landscape with dwindling places to explore, Derrak grew tired.

The Expedition: Derrak had heard news of a planned expedition to new lands farther south than any had gone before. To Derrak, this sounded like a dream come true. Excited for exploring a new land, Derrak made sure he would get hired, demonstrating the best he could do in cartography, a skill that would most certainly prove useful. And he did get hired. Although leaving his homeland behind was a sad thought, Derrak knew there were better opportunities elsewhere.

Goals

[SHOW]

1.) Derrak wants to discover new lands and particularly new cave systems and caverns to explore and map out.

2.) I would like Derrak to discover and learn more, as well as make new friendships.

Secrets

[SHOW]

1.) Derrak gives fake maps to those he doesn't like or trust with the intention of getting them lost. This has led to a handful of people dying, although no one has every suspected Derrak of anything.

2.) His grandfather is terminally ill and may not have very much time left, despite his strong will and stubbornness.

People Tied to Derrak

[SHOW]

1.) Derrak's grandfather Herund, a famed explorer, has been the most influential person in Derrak's life. He was the one who sparked the love for exploration and discovery that Derrak now possesses, created and built up with a multitude of stories and even exploration excursions. He achieved fame when he began exploring some of the southern lands and suggested settlement there.

2.) His parents, both of the scholarly sort, have not only raised and encouraged Derrak, but they are also the source of his love of learning. They enabled his academic growth and success and even suggested cartography as a way to combine his two greatest interests.

3.) Derrak loathes his neighbor, an unattractive and plump woman named Garfla. She is madly and obsessively in love with Derrak despite his protests. She often stalks him while he's exploring and as a result, Derrak cannot stand her.

4.) Garfla's brother, also crazy, hates Derrak due to his resistance to Garfla's romantic endeavors. He often tries to hurt Derrak, although he is easily outsmarted. Like his sister, he also stalks Derrak, in an attempt to get him alone to beat him senseless.

Memories, Mannerisms, and Quirks

[SHOW]

1.) Derrak fondly remembers the first exploration excursion he went on with his grandfather, which involved the discovery of a magnificent crystal cavern.

2.) Derrak has a large love of reading and will often spend his off-time with a book in hand. Because he has read so much, he has an extraordinary wealth of knowledge.

3.) No matter what Derrak eats, he doesn't gain any weight. He continues to exist have his much more slender form that other dwarves do not possess.

[SHOW]

Primary: Discovery is what motivates Derrak most. Whether it's learning about something new from a book or coming across a new place, he strive to discover new things.

Secondary: Accuracy and doing things right the first time push Derrak to making decisions. As a cartographer, a mistake in a map could lead to people getting lost, especially in dark caves. As such, he strives for correctness.

Background

[SHOW]

1: Birth: Groain's parents were not very wealthy, but they were kind. When they passed on, he was honored to be the one to put them into the great forge of their kingdom so they could become part of the ground as many before them and join their ancestors. That's all that can really be said about his parents. Beyond that, his family history has been one of mediocrity, mostly of miners and a few smiths spattered here and there. He's been living in the shadows for most of his life because of this, and he feels most at him building the new tunnels of their vast underground kingdom.

2: Early Life: As a child, Groain was pretty much invisible. The other children paid him no mind, and he they in return. He was focused on digging small holes in the dirt, and often times the grounds outside the classrooms would be filled with small holes where he dug. Some of the kids gossiped about how they mirrored the tunnels of the kingdom perfectly. Even back then he was a master at finding his way about tunnels and down the larger shafts.

3: Before the Journey: Once he was able, Groain immediately signed up to be a miner like his family. He wasn't very well known outside the tunnels, but inside the tunnels, he was the one you wanted guiding you to the ores and making new supporting shafts. He was picked for his bravery during a cave-in, where, with his great navigational skills underground, he dug his way into the tunnel next to theirs, then proceeded to expand the air-tunnel that had been made for just such an occasion, leading over 20 miners out to safety. The incident go anywhere beyond that unfortunately. Knowledge of it stuck with the bosses and the lord in charge of the operation, Lord Andor.

4: In the Dark: Groain's mostly found in the darker places of society, expanding it in anonymity. He's not very well known outside of the tunnels, and what people do know isn't that much. He believes in the usual gods of dwarves, and his skill with a pickaxe is rumored to even carry over into combat, digging holes into enemy armor and flesh. That's only a rumor though. However, it was founded on some truth, as Groain had come back once with a bloody pickaxe. His partner for the day did not want to speak of why it was bloody, only that "he asked the gods for protection and vengeance, and they answered."

5: Personality: Groain's quiet, reserved, and often avoids groups, making this trip a difficult time for him as he tries to cope with being in a large group. He does have some personal beliefs, and a deep connection to the ancient gods of the Dwarves.

Personal Goals

[SHOW]

1) Gorain wants to earn something from this trip he can truly call his own. Whether it's his own tunnel or home or what have you, he wants to be able to build something and claim it as his own, doesn't matter what so long as he feels like he's earned it.

2) I want Gorain to become more open over time but still remain his own character. This is going to be a first for me, as I want to make Gorain a bit quieter, less brash, and a whole lot more different than me for practice so I can become better at playing different characters.

Secrets

[SHOW]

1) Gorain gains his combat prowess from prayer to the gods, their strength granting him the necessary skill and endurance to do what he does in combat.

2) A while back, when Gorain was just getting started as a miner, he had an affair with a young woman in charge of the tracking of ores and new tunnels mined. He didn't know until quite some time later that this woman was Lord Andor's daughter. He's hoping it doesn't come up.

People

[SHOW]

1) Lord Andor: As a worker of Lord Andor, Gorain has a good relationship with him. He respects him as his boss, but also views him as another person, Gorain not being much for social status when it comes to other people.

2) Miner foreman: Unlike other foremen, Gorain's foreman is not so much a whipcracker, but more of a sergeant. He'll yell at you, but you can trust that he's more than willing to do the work himself, and has earned the respect of those men under him for being up close with the work himself.

3) Dolvo: It's hard to make enemies as a Miner. What with the constant pressure of cave-ins, underground gas pockets, the chance of hitting an aquifer and drowning, and the monsters. But Dolvo has always blamed Gorain for everything. Random monster attacks, his picks breaking, his poor luck. It's hard for him not to hate Gorain given the small amount of fame Gorain's gotten from his seemingly natural talents. Dolvo will always hate Gorain, no matter what he tries to do to make things better between them. To Dolvo, Gorain is just a nasty thorn he can't get out of his side.

Memories

[SHOW]

1) While escaping the cave in with the rest of his team, Gorain accidentally caused a cave in, causing damage to the surrounding tunnels, causing them to collapse entirely. He did not hear about this until a few days after, hearing that the cave ins harmed multiple bystanders, killing some and injuring others. This fact has colored his view of his own heroism, turning it from a moment of pride into one of guilt, hating that his actions caused harm to others.

2) Often times during conversations, Gorain will clutch the symbol of his faith, a small necklace his mother gave to him of the smiths hammer and miners pick, offering a prayer to the gods for direction in what to say as he is often very inept with conversation.

3) Gorain is often quiet and humble in his own speech, not wanting to step on any toes or draw attention to himself. A lifetime of communication with the gods has brought this about.

Family and Profession

[SHOW]

Family: Although Groain doesn't have a last name for his family, he does have a long line of ancestors, most of which were miners.

Profession: An expert miner, Groain is very rarely seen without a pick close by to use. He's most comfortable underground, where he can use the tunnels to hide himself away for a few moments if he has to.

Class: He's a commoner, although an excellent one if such a thing could be said.

Institution: Miner's guild. He has to be part of one in order to get any good work. Otherwise he's forced to work in very poor conditions with poorer tools.

Drives

[SHOW]

Primary: To do good by his family name. To honor his parents and their kindness.

Secondary: To be left alone, he hopes that once all is said and done he can find a nice quiet place in the tunnels to settle down in and relax alone, and live in obscurity.

Tertiary: To explore and create new tunnels. There's plenty underground to find, if you know where to look for it.

Goals

[SHOW]

Short-Term: Make it to the new location for the Dwarven kingdom. Pretty simple.

Medium-Term: Ensure that the Kingdom is both well defended and expansive enough to be considered a possible home, this includes building maze tunnels and secondary tunnels for air and escape if necessary.

Long-Term: Earn himself a place of his own where he can relax and live out his days. That's all he really wants, and that's all he really needs. Maybe he'll dig out some tunnels for himself, maybe make a storage room and live close by there. Something.

Background and Concept Elements

[SHOW]

Childhood: Falkrus was born into a long line of craftsmen and as such it was expected that he would follow suit. He spent much of his early childhood playing in his Father's workshop and later went on to apprentice for him in his teens and younger adult years.

Apprenticeship: His apprenticeship was a formative time in Falkrus' life. Working alongside his Father, he learned many masonry skills and realised that this was the life he wanted for himself. Due to this time and his later experience he is a extremely skilled stonemason and often employs techniques, unknown to others, that have been passed down through the generations of his family.

Father's Death: Falkrus' Father was killed when a hoist broke as he was overseeing a large statue being moved into position. Falkrus inherited his Father's workshop and his position in the Stone Cutter's Guild of Garrund. This was the time when Falkrus' talent first became clearly apparent and he quickly gained respect and influence within the guild. However due to the fact that this was only possible as a result of his Father's death, he remains very humble about his own work.

Marriage: Falkrus married a childhood friend and the two had four sons; Faric, Fildin, Falkic and Felg.

Beliefs: As a craftsman Falkrus does worship Breios however he is not a particularly godly man, preferring to believe in what he can see with his own eyes.

Goals

[SHOW]

1.) Falkrus would like to establish the Stonecutters' Guild for the new kingdom of Andor, should their mission be successful.

2.) I would like for Falkrus to prove himself to the expedition and become a valuable asset to their mission, going on to success as a mason in the new kingdom.

Secrets

[SHOW]

1.) Falkrus' really likes pie. A little too much. To the point where it's a bit weird. Not too weird, just a little. The point where it would probably kill a conversation if it came up but not to the point where he would be shunned by society.

2.) There has been a long running family feud between the Tholgil family and Falkrus' own, although he was never told about it. Due to this feud, Falkrus' Father's death was not an accident as he believes, Bavon Tholgil had a hand in the "accident" which killed him.

People Tied to Falkrus

[SHOW]

1.) Faric is Falkrus' oldest son and is currently his apprentice. Leaving on Lord Andor's expedition, Falkrus has left Faric in charge of his workshop.

2.) Rumila is Falkrus' childhood friend and now wife. They were originally neighbours and Rumila was taken with Falkrus from an early age, however as a young boy he thought in much more important to focus on his apprenticeship and rejected her often, only serving to drive her more. Eventually she won her prize and the two began a family together. The two live with their four sons in a respectable area of Garrund.

3.) Bavon Tholgil, the leader of the Stone Cutters' Guild of Garrund. Bavon has always been jealous of Falkrus' work and has often tried to discredit him and reduce his influence within the guild.

Memories, Mannerisms, and Quirks

[SHOW]

1.) Falkrus will always remember his Father's death. As his apprentice, Falkrus was there and witnessed everything. The sounds haunt him the most. The crack of leather as the hoist broke, followed by shouts as the giant stone warrior began to fall, ending with the sound of the colossal statue hitting the floor. His Father wasn't the only one killed in the accident but he was completely crushed.

2.) Falkrus' browny red hair always stands up and no matter what he does to it, it always finds it's way back to how it was. His beard too is very straight, however he has manage to rest control of it somewhat more than his unruly hair.

3.) Falkrus' is a very noisy eater, never failing to be heard, even with foods you would think it impossible to eat loudly.

Background - Family/Class/Profession/Institutions

[SHOW]

Family: Falkrus was born into a family of craftsmen and early in life he became an apprentice for his father who was also a mason. His only remaining family are his wife and his 4 sons; Faric, Fildin, Falkic and Felg.

Class: Born into a long line of craftsmen, Falkrus has always enjoyed the comforts of Artisan life and the relatively middle class status it affords, although more recently due to his own skills he has elevated his standing in Garrund society.

Profession: Falkrus comes from a long line of Stone Masons and is one himself, certainly the best in Garrund and arguably out of all the dwarven kingdoms, although he is very humble about the quality his work.

Institutions: Stone Cutter's Guild of Garrund, Lord Andor's Expedition.

Drives - Primary/Secondary/Tertiary

[SHOW]

Primary: Falkrus strives for perfection in most of what he does. Primarily his masonry.

Secondary: Family is important to Falkrus, valuing what his Father taught him, and many of his decisions will involve weighing up the effects they will have on his family.
