I learned to defend myself and grew tall and lithe and skilled and strong. I won the respect of my peers, at first grudging, but finally unreserved.

The monastery I was raised in is the home of the Temple of True History in Vudra and dedicated to Irori. Built on the idea that history is not what is written by the victorious but what actually and truly happened and dedicated to finding and preserving it in our records. For that is truth, and the truth is precious, for without it there is no justice and without justice there is no law.

After I completed my training I was summoned by the temple masters. A message had been received from one of the many hidden organizations toiling in the dangerous places of the world where history is not seen as a sacred trust but as something to be mutilated to serve the propaganda of the powerful. This one, the Sacred Order of Archivists in the Chelaxian city of Kintargo was requesting someone be sent who could act as a guardian and bodyguard to the Archivists. As one of the most accomplished of the new monks of the temple I was sent out on this most dangerous and worthy of tasks. It was an honour to accept the charge.

As a part of my preparation for my posting I was taught the langauge of the devils and also counselled on how to treat with people. It is not a skill that comes easy for me and in the end my tutelage in it was ended when I was deemed 'adequate'. My failure to excel in this rankles me still.

The travel from the temple to Kintargo was an adventure in and of itself and when I arrived I found a city much different from the one the masters described. The stink of oppression lies everywhere and the contact who was supposed to meet me is nowhere to be found.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Stricia.

She is wearing simple yellow robes and has a Vudrani sword strapped to her back. She might stand out in most other parts of Cheliax

Description: Beorn is a strapping young man with a thick head of black hair and,(to his dismay) a still sparse mustache and beard. His
orc heritage is displayed by somewhat pointed ears and teeth and ruddy complexion. He attempts to dress well but quite often has to
be satisfied with common clothing.

Background:Beorn(he insists on adding THE DIVINE as his stage name.) was an abandoned child who was fathered by an orcish mercenary on a prostitute while on leave. Cared for until he was old enough for the orphanage, he was selected as part of a 'New futures for disadvantaged
children' project by a noblewoman's group and given an education. Taking a liking to the arts, Beorn took every chance he could to learn singing and became a talented amateur who longed for the chance to stand on a grand stage. However, with the occupation by Thrune forces and the closing of the opera, Beorn found his hopes dashed and his resentment at the ridiculous laws by the new order grew until he found himself
actually thinking of commiting treasonous acts.

Personality, people he knows and loves.

1.Beorn loves to sing and shout, he often practices for relaxation and wants to start a school for youngsters. Beorn focuses on the little things, the laws against tea and dogs need to be targeted because every little thing counts. Beorn is not humble and will loudly proclaim his goals unless someone interrupts. Beorn will not engage in any mass destruction of property, broken doors and windows are no doubt expected but burning a place down will have him arguing against it.
2. Beorn will strive to get around the laws restricting tea and dogs by starting 'underground tea railroads' and homes for dogs. He is considering trying to train pigs to carry tea.
3. Lady Elizabeth Du'Arequette(mentor) a grand dame of Kintargo's social scene who sponsered Beorn's education by being the head of her social group. Has a liking for mini-pigs that she dresses in fancy frocks. Cullen D'Amberville(Mentor) Beorn's teacher in singing and acting, a rather stuffy and nervous man
who seems to be ashamed of his far off family and really doesn't want to be involved with them anymore. Gil Wulfenbach(rival) part class member of Beorn's a less talented but wealthier student who resents Beorn advancing past him and has sworn revenge!(They will all pay!)
4. OPERA! Beorn's first time standing on the stage of the grand opera reinforced his love of the art and he has pledged to restore it.SADNESS!
Beorn wept when Thrune's lack took over the opera and enacted his ridiculous laws, he fears for Kintargo's future. JUSTICE! Beorn will restore Kintargo to greatness and trample his foes under a stampede of pigs!
5. Beorn fears failing during his first live performance and keeps a bag of lemon drops with him at all times to make sure his throat stays primed. To fail and be forced to flee during his debut? MADNESS!!!

Aria was found on the outskirts of town near the hinterlands when she was but a young child hardly able to walk. By a cleric of Shelyn who had been wandering the countryside for inspiration. When she was found, she amazingly wasn't malnourished, and already had raven black hair to her shoulders. Her piercing red eyes were seen for the wonder they were. The cleric sought about her family, but found none, and so decided to take her in at the church. What other reason would he have found her for, for surely the child was blessed by Shelyn due to such beauty at a young age. The cleric, by name of Daren, would care for her like a father would his own child. Teaching her the values of Shelyn, and, against the will of some of the clergy, taught her the art of combat, particularly that of the glaive, his deity's favored weapon. As of now, Aria still believes herself to be a human, completely unaware yet of her divine heritage

As the years past, it became obvious that the child had indeed been blessed by Shelyn, for when she was a teenager, her beauty was unmatched by any within the church, and possibly within the city (though this was quite debatable depending on who did the talking). Not only was she beautiful however, but she had been blessed with a wondrous singing voice and she grew into a very humble attitude that has been tempered lately by a growing pride.

She loves all art, and is a prominent promoter of the idea that anything can be made an art, even the dreadful business of war and battle. And that should times demand such horrible actions, to do them as elegantly as possible. Though, her personal taste is favored more towards that of music and practical art. She finds the greatest joy in both hearing, and making music. To her, music is the most powerful form of art, able to evoke a plethora of emotions in people, even ones they try to hide or do away with, and even can affect some animals. She also sees music as the truest, if perhaps, simplest form of expression of ones soul. At least, when ones creates music that is influenced by their feelings at the moment. Even bad music can move a persons heart, as she has seen with many couples. Her second preferred art is making the mundane and practical beautiful. Such as embroidery on armor and weapons. It does not lessen the quality of the item, but gives it even more value for beauty it adds to it. Though, she does understand the beauty of simplicity as well.

She also goes to great lengths to master combat, treating it as both an art, and a way to defend the ideals and beautiful things shes holds dear in the world. Her favored weapon is the glaive, though she easily make use of a sword and shield as well. Every morning she spends time practicing with her glaive in a ritualistic way, more to ingrain the movements in her muscles, and to help her clear her head for the day, than anything else. Much how a monk may meditate while practicing their movements.

While Aria was deemed blessed by Shelyn, she is still young and even by her admission has much to learn in some respects. She holds some sway in the decisions of the church of Shelyn in Kintargo, particularly those involving her adoptive father Daren, but holds no real place power as of yet within its clergy.

Recently, her few feats have been that of deflating a dangerous situation involving two hellknights and a civilian, managing to convince the knights to spare the man death and torture. She also created a painting of minor renown within the art community depicting a beautiful rose that bled blood, symbolizing the beautiful city of Kintargo that is being drained of its life and beauty by the oppressive rule of Thrune. She has also, away from prying eyes, urged the church of Shelyn to consider doing something, making points that, at the present state hardly any true art could be created, and even less could seek to create. She even made the outrageous claim that the rule of this Barzillia was suspect, if not outright unjust in so doing. The clergy of Shelyn were not even allowed to express themselves with their clothes due to all fine clothing being outlawed for any save a select few, or those that pay exorbitant sums of gold. The clergy, particularly Daren, have warned her to keep such thoughts to herself and close members of the clergy. However she is finding it ever harder to do so, not only in respect for the arts, but for the people of the town. She feels a rebellion may be close, their is a stiffness to the air and a hanging sense of dread. The thought of so many lives lost troubles her, she hopes a peaceful solution can be found before that happens that both keeps blood from being shed, and brings life and beauty back into the city. Though, if there is nothing that can be done to stop bloodshed, Aria has already made up her mind which side of that battle she would stand on.

Personality: Aria is contemplative most of the time, however this doesn't stop her bubbly nature from overflowing often. She is kind and caring to most everyone, always trying to bring cheer to folk. She has a tendency to easily get lost in thought, even at very inappropriate times. She can come off cold at first due to this and her piercing red eyes, however, any conversation with her quickly removes any thoughts of that sort as her friendly nature comes out quickly. She always looks for the best in people, sometimes to her own detriment (often times overlooking obvious flaws, particularly in those that seek her affections). Though, she does sometimes indulge in a bit of fun due to the cool demeanor that many seem to get from her. Acting the part of a cold, if almost abrasive, woman. Over time, this too, has turned into a sort of Art for her.

Appearance: Aria is of athletic build, and much more muscled and toned than an average woman. She isn't particularly tall, but she is mildly taller than the average human female. She has pitch black hair, a soft, pale complexion, and the only thing that would even hint at an angelic ancestry would be her red eyes, and sheer beauty.

additional-
1. She lives within the temple of Shelyn. It was they who took her in after she was discovered as a child on the outskirts of town.

2. She guards and helps with the temple of Shelyn, aids in their gatherings and proceedings, and frequently sings when possible. She also paints when she finds the time, however due to the martial law and utter oppression she has been unable to do either for awhile. She also has tried her hand at smiting, or, more aptly, etching and embroidering of armor.

3. She is closely tied to the church of Shelyn, and is well acquainted with many folk of the Opera and enjoyed their shows, or did. Until Barzillia all but closed it down and so was known within the Opera society.

4. Aria often can become lost in her thoughts, even walking around town, many times she has wandered past her destination due to becoming so lost in her own thoughts that she all but stops paying attention to things. While she isn't always lost in "sentimental" thoughts, I felt it was the best option to take to represent this. If you have a better fitting one, I'd be happy to look over it though!

5. No family, at least not blood family. She considers many in the church close to her, and while she loves the idea of love, she has never truly taken with a suitor, be it male or female. Though she often will at least accept and spend time with those that pursue her. She hasn't yet found one she feels "right" for her.

6. Well, they would gain closer ties to the church of Shelyn for one. Aria also has a level-headed mind, usually, has proven to be a natural leader of others, and is well respected by many of the cultured folk in town. She is a great mediator and diplomat, as proven when she managed to convince a couple of hellknights to not torture, or possibly kill, a poor man in the streets. She brings a kind perspective to things, and is defiantly no slouch with her Glaive or blade.

Fleeing the capital, she journed by foot northwest until she came to the Barrowood. She wandered for days through the trackless forest until she collapsed from exhaustion. She awoke to find herself transported to a secluded glen, with food and water nearby and all of her wounds healed. To her amazement, her rescuer was unicorn, a guardian of the forest who took pity on the woman great with child. The unicorn allowed her to stay until she was ready to continue her journey, and blessed her with strength and swiftness. Adrian's mother was able to travel through the Barrowood, through a pass in the Menador Mountains, and finally found the Yolubilis River that took her to Kintargo.

Adrian was born in Kintargo and raised in the Redroof district. He never met the rest of his family, and it pained his mother to speak of them. His mother supported them as a seamstress, and he was able to secure an apprenticeship with a local physicker who recognized his natural affinity for healing. After several years, Adrian was able to rent a small office and move his mother to an apartment upstairs. He was happy and content, but recent political turmoil has made him angry and frustrated with the government. He is currently looking for ways to do something, anything, that would help the downtrodden citizens of Kintargo.

Bloodline Arcana: Every time you cast a spell, you can restore a number of hit points equal to double the level of the spell you cast to one target of your choice that you can see. A creature at its maximum hit points cannot be affected by this ability. Healing a dying creature with this ability does not automatically stabilize the creature unless its hit points are brought to 0 or above.

Bonus Spells: cure light wounds (3rd), cure moderate wounds (5th), cure serious wounds (7th), neutralize poison (9th), atonement (11th), heal (13th), greater restoration (15th), mass cure critical wounds (17th), mass heal (19th).

2. I plan on taking max ranks in Heal, producing alchemical creations for healing, and investing in magic items for healing.

Kintargo is his home, despite not being universally accepted by all due to his heritage. That’s why he looks up to Strea Vestori, and hopes for a day when tieflings can come out of the slums. While the arrival of Barzilai Thrune has changed the song of the city, with Gratnik’s encouragement, Vyrsktsky does not despair. He sees this clumsy despot as a catalyst for change, and believes with Milani’s guidance Kintargo can be the city it’s meant to be. He planned to approach the Rose of Kintargo, but not before Thrune arrived and now the organization has gone silent. He’s eager to find others to work with for the goal of a free Kintargo.

Appearance
Jessibel is a darkly-attractive young lady with the graceful arms and muscular legs of a dancer. Although she enjoys expensive clothes she’s not above dressing down for a fun night of ‘slumming.’
Personality
Jessibel is a confident, fun-loving, at times bratty child of privilege. She can be a maddening mix of actions and emotions, carefree and reckless one moment and deeply caring and responsible the next, selfish and self-centered followed by acts of pure selflessness. She needs and has grown accustomed to her creature comforts but feels for those who have little or nothing. She’s also a budding actress/dancer/singer/entertainer extraordinaire, certain that she’s destined to be Kintargo’s next big celebrity. Since Thrune’s ascension to power, Jessibel’s become a more responsible person…at least by her standards.

Backstory:
At first, the new lord-mayor’s Proclamations seemed but an inconvenience and annoyance to young Jessibel Aulamaxa, favorite granddaughter of Archbaroness Eldonna. The fact that Barzillai Thrune had claimed the world-famous Kintargo Opera House for his headquarters and shut down the iconic institution cost Jessibel a small role in the production of the infamous Huntress of Heroes. While that was hardly devastating to the young bard, when she was invited to join the now displaced Kintargo Opera House Society and actually had to help its members convert an abandoned warehouse into its new headquarters…well that got the young bard positively miffed! Also, the city's new curfew has curtailed opportunities for all the city's entertainers to perform, costing her coin and delaying her dreams of becoming a star.

To make matters worse, Archbaroness Eldonna Aulamaxa, frustrated with the alarmingly diminished role of the Court of Coin, is worried about the noble house's finances going forward in Lord-Mayor Thrune's new Kintargo. As a result, she cut back stipends to non-essential personnel, and Jessi’s mother suspended Jessi’s allowance indefinitely! Terrible timing, as it turned out, for Jessibel had just sunk much of her savings into a masterwork set of studded leather armor with a matching backpack. Forced to sing for her supper (and all the goodies a young noblewoman has a right to expect!), Jessibel decided to perform at the fateful Aria Park Protest to earn some coin by entertaining the crowd. Although the protest ended in a riot, Jessibel made some friends by helping an overwhelmed group of student protesters beat back the attack of a gang of rowdy Chelish Citizens’ Group thugs with her inspirational battle songs and blade of her rapier.

Her efforts that day changed her fortunes considerably. In addition to making a tidy profit, the budding performer came to the attention of Giveni Henge, a bard himself and the proprietor of the Three-Legged Devil dance hall in Old Kintargo. Something of a revolutionary at heart, Henge not only hired the pretty young lady to work the crowd in his establishment as a “front-room girl” (as opposed to the lasses-for-hire who work its back rooms and upstairs), he put in a good word with her with the remnants of the Kintargo Opera House Society. When that (once) prestigious institution sent Jessibel an invitation to join, Lady Eldonna gifted her granddaughter with a generous stipend (100 gp per week, as per the Noble Stipend feat) and lent her the hefty admission fee. Under the alias of Amanda Juliarc, a visiting student from Corentyn, Jessibel has been instrumental in fomenting anti-Thrune sentiment in both the Society and wider city: She contributed the song “We Be Thrunies” to the successful socio-political play “Night of Asses,” distributed cartoonish literature meant to mock both Lord-Mayor Thrune and his Proclamation the Second, and is spreading the word among Kintargo’s student population on a new use of the prestidigitation spell she calls the Silver Bird: a silver circle drawn on a public surface with a middle finger raised at an angle (to make it look a little bit like a soaring avian) to show Thrune what they think of his short reign thus far.

In her spare time, Jessibel also adventured with some of the folks she’d helped battle the Chelish Citizens Group during the Aria Park Protest. The party’s leader, a dwarf approaching middle age named Turl, had been a young adult during the tumultuous years of the Chelish Civil War. He’d had interactions with members of the original Silver Ravens organization, and one of these lesser Ravens, a half-elf bard who went by the stage name of Silverbelle, caught Jessibel’s interest. Silverbelle had been a specialist bard known as a silver balladeer, with powers that augmented items made from steel and its marvelous cousin mithral.

Though Jessibel became obsessed with learning about Silverbelle, silver balladeers, and the old Silver Ravens organization, she, Turl, and two other novice adventurers (a brother and sister from the Albaster Academy) spent most of their time and effort thwarting the plans of the Chelish Citizens Group in the city’s Redroof and Old Kintargo districts. Still, Jessi pressed Turl on his memories of Silverbelle and the Silver Ravens, and the dwarf’s recollections led the adventurers to the Fair Fortune Livery and the safe house beneath it. Though it had already been ransacked (by the new Silver Raven PCs), Turl was struck by a sudden epiphany. Suspecting that Silverbelle had perished shortly before the Silver Ravens disbanded, he wondered aloud where the rebels had buried their honored dead, commenting that there was a little-used cemetery called the Tears of Aroden located just a block north of the old livery. There the adventurers discovered a family crypt belonging to the Argent family. The crypt door’s lock was broken, so the heroes crept inside to investigate.

Sure enough, this was where the Silver Ravens had interred their fallen associates, and Silverbelle’s marked sarcophagus was indeed present. Unfortunately, the place had become the lair of a pack of ghouls, and the undead ambushed the intruders. Jessibel was paralyzed during the battle, but she regained her senses near its end, finding in herself the courage and skill to somehow put down the last two badly-wounded ghouls. It was a hollow victory, however: Turl and the male sibling had been slain, and her brother’s death caused his sister to quit the adventuring life for good, leaving Jessibel with only her Opera House Society friends.

Unknown to Jessibel, during her moments of paralysis at the claws of a ghoul, her body was possessed by the lingering spirit of Silverbelle. Silverbelle subtly guided her young host since, offering hinted insights in her dreams and leading the promising young noblewoman to her journal, secreted away in a secret cubbyhole in the Fair Fortune Livery’s safehouse. The weak but benevolent and helpful spirit still offers her knowledge when Jessibel needs it but is most powerful when Jessibel is asleep or unconscious. It is during such times that Silverbelle’s spirit can actually briefly take control over her host’s body.

Since that fateful day, Jessibel has been training herself as a silver balladeer, all the while working against the illegitimate rule of Lord-Mayor Thrune. In addition to seditious work with the Kintargo Opera House Society, she’s also undertaken side missions for her many allies and trainers: her grandmother; Giveni Henge; a boisterous acquaintance of Henge’s named Setrona Sabinus, who runs a tavern in Old Kintargo called the Tooth and Nail; and allied agents from Songbird Hall. Most recently, Archbaroness Eldonna has suggested a test alliance with Baron Canton Jhaltero, suggesting that together they mold Jessibel into someone capable of both gathering useful information (a Jhaltero specialty) and spinning that info to sway public opinion (an Aulamaxa trademark).
