Reg

  1. This is a character that Brady Effler rolled up randomly with dice.
  2. What is this character’s name? - Reg
  3. What is their ancestry (i.e. human, elf, dwarf, halfling, etc)? - Appears to be a Tortle, but is secrelty a Changeling
  4. What is your job or role (i.e. farmer, hierling/mercenary, shopowner, bandit, etc)? - Forager in a swamp
  5. How old are you? - At least 20 in Tortle years in appearance, an adult.
  6. Describe your physical appearance. - As a Tortle, he appears to be a walking backpack. He has pots, bells, coins that clank and make noise that hang off the spikes and the natural rack that is made from his shell. He is covered in various furs. He moves slowly, but has a steady gait. His skin is a healthy blue-green hue, not many wrinkles. If he were to stand up straight, he would be 5'8", but he is constantly hunched over to only appear to be 5 feet tall.
  7. Describe yourself with 3 adjectives. - Poignant, Cautious, Romantic
  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.) - Reg is secretly a Changeling in disguise. The current social and political climate that he lives in is not favorable for Changelings, but he remains in the area because he is love with a dark elf barmaid in the local tavern.
  9. What is a particular quest you would be willing to recruit or hire the player characters to go do? - Follow the clues in a series of notes. There are a series of love letters that Reg has written to the dark elf barmaid, and a local authority figure/parent/scorned lover spins a tale in the town about these notes, saying that there are hidden messages from a Changeling assassin that is waiting to strike in the town. Really, Reg is trying to stay in touch with the person he loves, and he ultimately wants to run away with his love and live together happily everafter.
  10. What would be their reward for succeeding? - For helping to unravel the mystery and unite him with his love (the dark elf barmaid), Reg will award the players with an item to help them in the main questline or an object that will help make their journeys through the swamps easier.
  11. What would be the consequence of failure or refusing the call? - It's possible that the main questline is made more difficult due to the players not taking advantage of helping Reg for an item to help them in their quest. It's possible that an innocent and/or important NPC is killed in town because of the paranoia and hysteria generated by these false rumors; an authority figure could use this for political gain. It's possible that Reg can be found at the gallows to be hanged in the town; he will then be discovered to be a Changeling if the players don't intervene, and this will only further the goals of the local authority figure or satisfy the revenge of the scorned lover. Perhaps they will find the distraught lover devestated by this violent outcome.
