1. This is a character that Darby Pak randomly generated with my tables.
2. What is this character’s name? - Arlie
3. What is their ancestry (i.e. human, elf, dwarf, halfling, etc)? - Hobgoblin who is a wereboar
4. What is your job or role (i.e. farmer, hierling/mercenary, shopowner, bandit, etc)? - Storyteller for this conclave of lycanthropes
5. How old are you? - Young Adult
6. Describe your physical appearance. - Stocky, coarse brown hair, scaring around the body from being in this community. His hobgoblin nose has changed to be more hog-like. He has developed small tusks that look on par with an orc or half-orc. His ears are also subtly boar shaped as well. Small shifts in his appearance over time, but not a Shifter.
7. Describe yourself with 3 adjectives. - Thoughtful, Kind, Gruff/Blunt
8. What is a valuable item/piece of lore/secret that this character possesses? Or do they value an ideal/concept or particular person (i.e. family member, guild member, honor, justice, love etc.) - Arlie knows the receipe for Elderflower mead.
9. What is a particular quest you would be willing to recruit or hire the player characters to go do? - Retrieve a rare cookbook. It was originally written by Arlie's old mentor, but the mentor was unable to bring the cookbook with him and he passed away. This cookbook contains a number of oddball receipes, one of which was on Elderflower mead. Finding this book has more of a sentimental reasoning in relation to history and storytelling.
10. What would be their reward for succeeding? - Arlie and the group of lycanthropes are willing to transform the heroes into a lycanthrope of their choosing and be adopted into the group. Other gains would also be weapons, armor, and money in addition to the transformation or in place of.
11. What would be the consequence of failure or refusing the call? - If the cookbook is bought by someone else, ends up in another dimension, lost, etc. and the players cannot retrieve it, then Arlie will just be disappointed and will just have to figure out another way to get it. If the cookbook is destroyed, this is a major sore spot, since it was a point of connection in history and story to the old mentor (since it might have been the only one in existence!); the next time the party meets Arlie and this group, they will be cold and not very friendly to the group. Repeated visits or escalations will result in the entire group of lycanthropes to turn on and attack the party. If the players are unable to accept the sidequest for some reason, that's fine. If the players express disinterest or say something along the lines of "we don't care" or "this is stupid", then Arlie will launch into a Ted Talk, berating the party for their ignorance and cold-heartedness.

Optional Questions - not required

• What impact have you made on the world? How have you shaped the local area? - Arlie is invaluable in helping this group to be able to navigate to a particular island that can only be accessed at a certain time of the year where the moon affects the ocean tides to create a land bridge for them to be able to cross. They are then able to commune, bond, reconnect, and celebrate their lycanthropy as a community during this time before they disperse. It's a dedicated time to be able to rejoin the group or catch them if you can't find the group.
• Do you have any current problems that prevent you from being a bigger player on the stage? - He is dedicated to the group, and his role as storyteller bears a lot of weight and responsibility. He feels obligated to remain with the group (and he's not free to leave he feels) until another storyteller can be trained up. He wants to find the right person to be able to run in tandem with him or be able to succeed him one day.
