[Sings-With-Purpose]

Name: Sings-With-Purpose
Race: Aasimar
Origin: Sigil
Faction: Believers of the Source
Rank: Factotum
Age: Mid Twenties
Height: 5'6

Theme Music: Empyrean Harmonies • Rockstar Vibe

"Sure, any berk that really thinks on it all's likely to get as barmy as a bleaker. First time around, t'least. It's all too big, yeah? Too weird. So the second time around, a berk might get to be a cutter, and thinks on it some more. Maybe he learns a bit of the dark of it, and maybe he gets even barmier. Third time though? Well, if you haven't figured out where you stand by then, maybe you never will. But maybe that's alright too. Hey, nobody said there's just one way up." - Sings-With-Purpose

Description:

Though her hair's black and wild, rather than the golden perfection that most people associate with the Aasimar, the spark of something Divine is hard to miss when looking at Sings-With-Purpose. Her alabaster skin and face seem more perfectly sculpted than the features of the finest statues in the planes; and a slight glow tends to surround her at all times. On occasion, faint celestial harmonies can be heard in her presence, seemingly without a source. Her eyes are a deeper black than seems physically possible; yet at the same time, when one looks into them up close they appear to reflect a brilliant night-sky full of stars, regardless of what her surroundings might be.

Public Knowledge:

Sings-With-Purpose is pretty famous in some circles. She is considered by some to be a prodigy of performing Empyrean Harmonies; the music of the multiverse said to be able to tell its listeners whether they are moving up or down the ladder to godhood. It was once all the rage in Sigil, though its popularity sparked conflict between the Godsmen and the Hardheads as the latter thought it threatened their ideals of peace through conformity. In recent times the harmonies have come back in favor somewhat, in part due to the efforts of Factol Ambar Vergrove.

Aside from that, Sings-With-Purpose, is talented in many different styles of music. Talent she's brought to many bars and establishments in the various wards of Sigil. She's also toured a variety of gate-towns.

In contrast to many natives or residents of the Cage, she's got a friendly attitude and a general willingness to listen to and help people.

Hooks:

• Interested in Empyrean Harmonies or what they might represent? She's a prodigy! Alternatively, if you're just into surf rock (or you know, regular bard music), she's great at that too!
• Interested in adventuring? Sings-With-Purpose is known to occasionally throw herself into that sort of thing. Fits with the whole trying to move up through the ladder of existence the Godsmen are all about.
• Are you a native of the Clerk's Ward? Consult me for hooks! Or are you involved with the Fated? Consult a GM for hooks!

[Hanya]

Hanya Khatri


The Sage of Black Paws, Follower of the Words, Poet of the Dusk Court

Name: Hanya Khatri
Race: Rakasta
Origin: Sindh (Mystara)
Faction: The Fated (Rank: Factotum)
Occupation: Scribe, poet, mage for hire, speaker to the dead
Age: Early 30s
Height: 4'7"
Build: Lanky
Fur: Short and grey with black socks and dark grey stripes
Eyes: Intense blue

"A grey head does not make an elder,
Not by years, not by grey hairs, not by riches nor by relations did the seers make the Law,
He who is great to us, is one who has learning." So say the poets
- Hanya Khatri

Description
The short cat-person seems an oddity, which means that in the streets of Sigil they fit right in. Her grey fur grade into an almost unnatural deep black at the paws, and the intensely colored eyes stand out against the grey fur framing them. Hanya prefers to dress in loose clothing, mostly robes in the colors of deep purples, deep blues, grey, and black, preferrably with hoods or enough spare fabric to cover her head. Always on her person is a variety of shiny-dangly things, some of it probably valuable and some of it probably cheap jewelry, and some of it she sometimes uses to power her magic.

Public Knowledge
Hanya is not a native to Sigil, but has been around long enough that it hardly matters. 18 years in fact. She hails from a world she calls Mystara, from a kingdom called Sindh. There she says she was a part of the Dusk Court; guardians and caretakers of the dead. While much has changed about her since she came to Sigil, she still holds much to her cultural roots there.
She is a skilled member of the Fated, and is more known to those outside the Heartless Faction that she is an ameniable person to work with, if a little callous in her behaviour. She knows she isn't as powerful as she wishes to be yet, and cooperating with those who can lead her closer to more power is acceptable for now.


Hooks

• In need of a mage? Hanya is a skilled and versatile wizard, willing to work with others despite Factions.
• A native of Mystara? Hanya would be interested to share stories of the Poets and Immortals.
• Scholarly or just need answers? Hanya is a scholar and a scribe, and is always interested in learning more. Or giving answers where needed.

Dash the Tressym


Hanya is usually accompanied by her familiar, an owl-like tressym she calls Dash.

Dash enjoys soothing music, shady hunting grounds, fresh mice, and head-scratchies.

Otherwise, she's an airy individual with a somewhat vibrant energy about her.

Whatcha Might Know

[L'Orr-hui]

Name: Too complex for you but L'Orr-hui will suffice
Race: Illithid
Origin: Unknown
Faction: The Free League (Rank: Factotum)
Occupation: Researcher, Arcane/Psionic councilor
Age: unclear
Height: 6'
Build: narrow
Skin: purple with light mucus
Eyes: white most of the time

''Trust me when I say you cannot understand me''

Description

L'Orr-hui is the Grand Bazaar's resident mindflayer which is surprising to most...particularly amongst the more recent free league joiners who are informed that they are also a factotum of the faction. To say that the illithid is an oddity is an understatement but the people who do business or encounter them daily make no effort to convince them to fit the mold. L'Orr-hui keeps to themselves except when they do not, advocates for freedom despite being a greatly ordered individual and...no one is sure what their motivations or goals are despite them being reliable when needed.

They are likely are a four dimensional chess player

Public Knowledge:

L'Orr-hui has been residing in the Grand Bazaar for a few years now and provides magical and psionic services to the residents of sigil with an appointment. The most valued service provided are the long lasting shielding of thoughts, the establishment of private sanctums and their ability to impart the gift of temporal precognition. Besides this they also provide identification and evaluation of magical items.

L'Orr-hui's is also know to act as a investigator for those who value the mind flayer's psionic talents and as psychanalyst for the brave ones who want solid results.

Their familiar: Ratswell

[Valeria Brightheart]

Name: Valeria Brightheart
Race: Human
Origin: Sigil!
Faction: Believers of the Source
Age: Mid-twenties
Height: 5'6"
Build: Slender
Eyes: Blue

Description: Blonde, bright, and cheerful, Valeria is a young woman who seems to be overflowing with enthusiasm and energy. Sometimes literally overflowing; she tends to sparkle a bit in the right light, or when she's performing her magic. She tends to be similarly dressed in bright colors, as though her life is spent constantly walking through a parade. There's about an 85% chance of her smiling at any moment.

Knowledge: Formerly a rich scion, Valeria now works in a clinic in the slums, providing healing to those who need it. Those who can't pay are given charity work instead. She wields magical power, and energy blasts that manifest as beams of light with accompanying musical chimes.

Hooks:

• Do you want to help people? Valeria wants to help people!
• Do you need help? Valeria wants to help! Just remember, donations or charity work are required.
• Do you want to want to help people? Valeria wants you to want to help people! That is, talk to her about being a better person. Or whatever sort of being you are.
• She may be a social worker, but Valeria still does enjoy a good fancy dress party.

[Alynne Valaris]

Name: Alynne Valaris
Race: Celadrin
Origin: Oerth
Faction: Society of Sensation
Occupation: Diva Singer
Age: Probably older than you! Early 20-ish by looks.
Height: 6'1''/185 cm
Other Features: Amber golden hair, deep purple shiny eyes, carries a necklace with a holy symbol of Wee Jas


Description
Alynne was born in the material plane of Oerth. She is a planetouched primer, a celadrin, or the equivalent of an aasimar for an elf, having Celestial Eladrin and Faerie Grey elven blood. This celadrin though moves around with almost regal attitude, which might imply that she comes from a noble heritage.

She has amber golden hair and golden skin. Her most prominent physical feature are her eyes, which shine like two deep intense purple stars. She, always, wears the best clothing, and she tends to reveal a bit more skin than most primer societies would deem 'appropiate'. Some other times she can be seen wearing a beautiful set of leather armor. This celadrin knows how to fight, so it seems.


Public Knowledge

Alynne is a diva singer. In the prime material plane of Oerth she sang in the respectable organization known as the Guild of Performing Artists of the city of Greyhawk. She sang for the Royal Opera and acted in the Grand Theater of that city, earning some fame and popularity among the mortal primers in there.

She has recently arrived at the city of Sigil. She joined the Society of Sensation since it was somewhat natural for her to join an organization that deals with art and entertainment and with creating and seeking new feelings and emotions.

[Ore]

Race: Warforged
Origin: The Feywild
Faction: Believers of the Source (aka Godsman)
Rank Factotum
Occupation: Justice
Age: 3...ish? What is age, really?
Height: 5'10
Weight:: A query? I thought it was impolite to ask that. *Looks down* Heavy
Other Features: Mercury Colored eyes, "skin" of metal, ceramic and wood

""Is it even alive?"" You ask, as if I were truly made of stone, and could not hear you. I have heard the philosophical debate, and have found it...lacking. True, I could simply be a creation with implanted memories and opinions, made by my creator to serve their whims and desire, made to strive for what they believed important. Yet, I do not hear you dispute your own sentience when your own creators have done just the same. The details are left to pedants. In the end, I am Ore: that which must be refined to its truest form. And unlike you, I intend to do so. - Ore

Description
Ore is a heavy and squat being of living metal, wood and ceramic, typically eschewing clothes. Ore finds the concept at his state of undress to be silly, and will remark that clothes other than armor do a poor job of protecting flesh and blood beings internal components. They are typically followed around by "Boy", a dog shaped construct that serves as a bodyguard that appears to be just as alive as it's master (which is to say it's open to debate). Ore is typically analytical and blunt, tending to not have a full understanding of social graces. He seems rather difficult to sneak up on, and there is an active debate upon whether he is a real being at all, or a really, really, really independent magical construct.

Common Knowledge
Ore showed up out of a door from the Feywild a year or two ago, and immediately began searching for the Godsmen, claiming that he had come to seek godhood for himself. Based off of the ability to go without food or sleep and a willingness to spend days on end in the Forge, Ore quickly fit in with the higher ups and has risen to the rank of Factotum rather quickly. Ore appears to have some type of magical ability, as he is able to animate constructs that follow him around as protectors, and he is able to magically enhance a few items.

Ore seems to rather enjoy the creative process, and it often at hand to assist in various forms of crafting around the city, or with any particular requests that are made, and often is tapped as a bodyguard for squishier members of the organization. While he appears a massive hulk, Ore is surprisingly knowledgable in history and arcane lore.

Common Knowledge

• Up for debate over the meaning of it all? Be prepared for insightful (and extremely blunt and pragmatic) answers
• Interested in magical crafting and objects? Ore wants to uncover the secrets as well
• Are you a musician? Ore is ready to be background drummer
• Godsman: love it, hate it, hit him up over it

[Naila Drooten]

Elf detective.jpg (101.58 KiB) Viewed 1804 times

Name: Naila Drooten
Race: Elf
Origin: Sigil
Faction: Sign of One
Age: Her Thirties
Height: 5'9"
Build: Broader than usual for an elf
Eyes: Blue

Description: An outgoing elf with prominent (and often swivelling) ears, Naia dresses like a nobleman's gamekeeper and her eyes stare out intently from behind prominent spectacles. The Signer seems in a habit of talking to herself and will freely admit that if the entire universe is her story then it also requires some narration.

Knowledge: Naila is one of the few folks in Sigil who will work for free and many a lost cat owes its return to the detective taking pity on a neighbour of hers. This, combined with an outgoing (if ever so slightly arrogant personality) has left her well regarded and Drooten Detectives is often the place someone will go when they've got too much mystery and not enough coin.

Hooks:

• Do you need something investigated? That is Naila's reason for being
• The detective is looking for a half-orc, Mike Marlowe, have you seen him?
• Out to do good deeds? Naila can usually be convinced to come along if there's some intellectual stimulation
• Embrace your tropes, Naila Drooten lives hers.

[Krol]

Name: Krol (the Dream Catcher)
Race: Goblin
Origin: Chult (Faerun)
Faction: Believers of the Source
Rank: Factotum
Age: 12
Height:3'6"
Skin: Green
Eyes: Yellow

Description:
Krol rarely shows his skin, usually wearing 2 layers of clothing. His pristine armor covered by simple brown robes, his head covered helmet always, and upon first glance most would assume it is because goblins love to show off their goods and this would be all he has. However, this factotum rose through the ranks too fast for that to be the case. No, Krol hides his scars, a badge of honor from his time in the Kuro tribe. Other than that, Krol seems to be a typical goblin in appearace, flat face, pointy ears, and sharp teeth.

Public Knowledge:
Krol hails from Chult, so he is comfortable living in the wilds. As a former member of the Kuro tribe, he has experienced life both as a slave and a slaver. However, with the spirit of his god, one without name (for now), Krol is doing whatever he can to undermine the efforts of the servants of Maglubiyet and Khurgorbaeyag, constantly finding portals in Sigil to prime material planes he hasn't seen before.

Despite his rank, Krol has been a godsman for only 2 years. Through a combination of regularly taking risks, helping others, and 1 other factor (that Krol doesn't talk about with non-godsmen), he rises through the ranks in a way reminiscent of Rowan Darkwood (though certainly not as drastic).

Because of his past, Krol is quick to help those who wish to overthrow cruel leaders, help the powerless, and to take a break when he needs to.
