Hell's Rebels

Game Master bigrig107

Standing at 5'7", Llewela has a solid build from years of hard work. Her grey eyes reflect a steely resolve, while her chestnut brown hair is usually tied back in a braid or tucked under a scarf. She wears practical, sturdy clothing—thick linen tunic and pants, and leather shoes. When expecting trouble, she dons simple leather armor. Various cooper tools hang from her belt, cleverly balanced to serve as weapons if needed.

Llewela is determined and resilient, driven by her faith in Milani and a burning desire for justice. She is cautious around those whose loyalties she does not trust, but fiercely protective of her friends. Her righteousness ignites when confronting enemies of freedom, and she does not shy away from combat when necessary.

Llewela Oakfield was born and raised in Kintargo, a city under the shadow of Cheliax's oppressive regime. Her father, Haldir, a skilled half-elven cooper, and her mother, Elaria, an elven herbalist, instilled in her a strong work ethic and an appreciation for nature's healing arts. Despite their modest livelihoods, they ensured Llewela grew up understanding the importance of resilience and self-sufficiency.

From a young age, Llewela felt a sense of dissatisfaction with the world around her. This dissatisfaction grew as she witnessed the injustices perpetrated by House Thrune. She found solace and purpose in her father's workshop, learning the cooper's trade and discovering her own strength.

As a young adult, Llewela's path took a pivotal turn when she met Garren, an elderly priest of Milani, the goddess of hope, devotion, and uprisings. Garren recognized a kindred spirit in Llewela and began secretly training her in the ways of Milani. Under the guise of making deliveries for her father's business, Llewela learned combat, divine magic, the history of rebellions and tales of the Silver Ravens from Garren.

When the new Lord Mayor imposed martial law, Llewela's world grew even darker. Garren disappeared suddenly, and with no knowledge of any other worshippers of Milani in the city, she's been left feeling isolated and vulnerable. But she has just received a mysterious letter telling her to go to the protests, so she is holding on to hope.

Eliza is... attractive. Extremely so. And looks like you would expect a tiefling with more then a bit of Succubus heritage to look. Growing up in Mialari Dolors boarding school, with her tuition paid in full by an unknown benefactor, Eliza was just having her first major performance! A sizeable role in the Huntress of heroes opera! And she got to play no other then Nocticula, who has a role! (altough not as major as Desna and Aolar).

The custome was pretty hard to research and made, as was the rigging for the wings, the three tails also actually normal cow tails, but are animated by 3 overworked helpers constantly casting magehand!

And just before the big performance, BARZILLAI F$@*ING THRUNE JOINKED THE OPERA HOUSE!!!
This demands vengeance, blood, fire, cease and desist letters!

Funnily enough, she is an angelkin aasimar, its just that she, and everyone who sees her, thinks she is a Succubus-spawn-tiefling.
Her abilites, alter self once per day, innate ability with languages via truespeaker alternative racial trait? And being really good at lying and b~@&%%+$ting? She absolutely thinks she is a tiefling as well, its a bit weird that her resistances are different, but tieflings are quite varied arent they?

Since would either be a fated champion skald, or an oracle, depending on party needs. By various antics and shenanigians, she would be a decent enough secondary fighter, primary face and buffer. Just dont expect her to duke it out with hellknights mano a tieflingo.

Her role as Nocticula in the opera may have... gotten her some unwise, or perhaps just overly optimistic, assumptions on the redeemer queen being a thing.
She would likely have a polytheistic approach, and also give plenty of credence to Callistria, Desna and Shelyn.

Eliza will plot to:
--Make a fake over the top pro Thrune newspaper, that is so over the top it makes them a laughing stock
--Insert steamy fanfiction by one "Tharzillai Brune" regarding the empress, the empresses Erinye advisor and Queen Galfrey of Mendev, in order to get Barzilai into as much trouble as possible
--Use a heavy wooden shield with a scantily clad empress lounging on a divan as a weapon, and be like "YOU DARE POUND OUR EMPRESS! VILLAIN!" whenever a thrunie hits the shield.

1. What is your character’s name?
Seannon Starfall (pronounced "SHAN-nun")

2. How old is your character?
Like many halflings, Seannon might appear to be a young human at first glance, but her graying hair and wrinkles around her eyes suggest she is much older. (I figure she's at least 50, but with her aasimar heritage she could still be on the cusp of middle-aged.)

3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)?
She appears to be an older halfling woman, about half the size of a typical human, with warm-colored skin and ruddy cheeks. Her hair is dark brown mixed with silvery-gray, and her brilliant eyes have bright purple irises. She wears medium armor, carries a shield, and wields a distinctive starknife. She has a butterfly pendant at her neck.

4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)?
She has a strong Varisian accent, like she did not grow up in Cheliax, and an otherworldly quality that suggests she has a celestial heritage. She struggles to hide her adherence to Desna, and obviously does not like subterfuge, even in a dangerous place like Kintargo. Like many halflings, her voice is musical and lilting, and it often rings like she is singing even when she is speaking normally.

5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who?
Seannon was born and raised in Varisia, though she is not sure exactly where. She and her mother led a nomadic life, traveling with a traditional Varisian caravan that ranged all over western Avistan.

6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living?
Seannon's mother died a few years ago, which ultimately prompted her move to Cheliax. She knows absolutely nothing about her father, and her mother absolutely refused to speak of him, claiming she did not know who he was. She once joked that Seannon had been born by sheer force of will. Seannon has not investigated too closely to honor her mother's wishes, and has privately decided that her birth was a lucky miracle.

7. Do you have any other family or friends?
Seannon's mother was part of a large family of halflings living in Cheliax, and had managed to escape enslavement when she was very young. She had two brothers that Seannon believes work for the Bellflower network, and several of their children still live in Kintargo. She has met one of her uncles and her cousin Laria, but they have not fully embraced her into their circles as of yet.

8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids?
Seannon is not married, and probably never will be. She has two children in Varisia who both remained with the caravan when she left, and though she loves them both, she respected their decision to stay. She often worried that her strangeness would isolate them from their peers, so she allowed the community to help raise them, in the Varisian tradition. She would dearly like to see them again once her work in Cheliax is done.

9. What is your character’s alignment?
Seannon is neutral good, which represents how she is somewhat conflicted between lawful and chaotic. Her goddess is very chaotic, and her mother was also, and that has led Seannon to crave order and structure even while she rebels against oppression and enslavement. She doesn't like to lie, and she would never break a promise. But she is not against disguises, pranks, or thievery (as long as it's not from her friends and family), though she isn't very good at it.

10. What is your character’s moral code?
Seannon thinks of herself like a paladin of Desna, and she does her best to follow the rules that feel right to her. Over time, these have developed into the following tenets (Originally written by Margherita Tramontano).
• I trust dreams, feelings, and premonitions. Through them, Lady Luck speaks. I trust my own forebodings above external warnings.
• I will travel in search of adventures and wrongs to fix. There are many more creatures needing my help than I could find if I stay in one place. I will sleep under the cover of stars whenever I can.
• I defend everyone's right to have and fulfill their dreams. Unjust impositions will find me ready to fight, with my words or my blade.
• When I have no specific destination in my travels, I entrust myself to the guide of Fate. Luck will guide my path and bring me where I am needed.
• I am relentless in hunting and destroying evil creatures. I will prevent fiends and aberrations from crushing the hopes and invading the dreams of innocents. I will purify the beauty of the night from unrighteous menace.
• I protect beautiful flying creatures. Their grace inspires dreams of good and glory.
• I benefit the poor and needy in every way I can. I am the hand of Luck sent to change their lives. If the rich won't share their luck with others, I will take it upon myself to restore the balance.

11. Does your character have goals?
Seannon wants to prove herself to her cousin Laria, so she can become a member of the Bellflower network. Her family's good opinion is very important to her, but more than that she desperately wants to be part of the force that brings great social change to the people of Kintargo. With Desna's aid, she wants to free other halflings from servitude, free other citizens from imprisonment, and to free the city as a whole from the tyranny of House Thrune.

12. Is your character religious?
She is a devout follower of Desna.

13. What are your character’s personal beliefs?
She is very Good with a capital G, in that she believes that anyone can change for the better so long as they are willing to focus on their community and perform selfless rather than selfish acts. She believes in might for right rather than might makes right. She doesn't think anyone is inherently more suited to government leadership over anyone else, and so she doesn't generally support feudalism or the aristocracy. She is fervently opposed to authoritarian rule, but she would rather her city not descend into anarchy.

14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)?
Seannon is both rebellious and legalistic, which is often confusing. She stands up to bullies and chafes under restrictions imposed by others, but she is cursed to constantly set up rules for herself that she cannot break without consequences. She makes a lot of promises and then struggles to keep them. She prefers to sleep where she can see the sky, and she doesn't like to sleep in the same place two nights in a row. She cares a lot about her dreams-- she shares them with anyone who will listen. She is anxious to prove herself, despite her age, and that makes her slightly belligerent. She has also been known to smoke. She likes good food and good drink and eats more than her share as "padding" for when she must go without, but she usually tries to finish quickly so she can sing-- she believes music during meals helps the digestion and heightens the flavor. She loves bright lights and sounds, and is particularly drawn to unusual patterns, musical or otherwise. She likes syncopation, though she doesn't like to dance. She will often hum along when other people are singing or when she hears sounds like the bells on top of the Temple of Asmodeus, and feels almost compulsively obliged to stop whatever she is doing to listen.

15. Why does your character adventure? Why would you join the rebellion?
She wants to enact social change for the glory of Desna on a grand scale! She delights in the challenge of fighting unequivocally evil systemic oppression. Guided by her dreams, she believes that adventuring is the best way to grow powerful enough (in allies, resources, and abilities) that she can meaningfully threaten the status quo.

16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer?
Seannon is an oracle that acts like a very unconventional cleric. Her magic is mostly defensive support spells like shield of faith and protection from evil, with a few aggressive control spells like color spray and obscuring mist. She will take it upon herself to heal everyone after a fight and to buff herself and her allies before known encounters. Like many clerics, she is not afraid of combat, and will likely rush in to attack enemies with her starknife. She is also eager to participate in negotiations to influence others and gather information, being well-trained in Diplomacy and Sense Motive.

17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)?
Seannon believes tattoos are a cultural symbol of great life achievements, and she has two small ones on her right ankle: a wildflower and a horse. Her cheeks are lightly freckled, though faint enough that they make her look cheery rather than burnt.

18. How does your character get along with others?
Seannon gets along very well with others, her halfling family notwithstanding. She grew up with humans, and she currently shares a house with a human family, so she knows how to interact positively with members of different races and backgrounds. She makes a special effort with other halflings, but for some reason has yet to make any lasting friends. She suspects it is because they can tell she wasn't born in Kintargo, and thus hasn't had to deal with the pervasive racism that they have endured for centuries. Many halflings will listen to her preach about Desna, but few remain to speak with her afterward. She also goes out of her way to accommodate and defer to other nonhumans when she encounters them, as she believes that Cheliaxian privilege must have similarly oppressed them. However, she does not obsequiously bow and scrape to humans like many of them expect her to do, which can often start her off on the wrong footing with them.

19. Is there anything that your character hates?
Seannon doesn't like to use the word 'hate', but she definitely hates devils, and she also hates how Cheliaxian culture invokes devils for everything. Most bad people she can at least understand their motivations and try to convince them to mend their ways, but she believes that the denizens of Hell are inherently evil and unable to change. She generally hates oppression and bullying, but it might be fairer to say that she loves underdogs and wants to help them against their opponents.

20. Is there anything that your character fears?
Seannon has lots of nebulous fears (fear of monsters, fear of rejection, fear of losing what is important to her), but as a tangible fear she is afraid of dogs. She's never been around them for any significant length of time and has heard lots of scary stories about them. The idea that they are beasts who are fanatically loyal to their master and will commit horrific violence without questioning the rightness of their actions terrifies her.

Taldo is a proud son of the Silver City of Kintargo and Cheliax. His family has been in Kintargo for generations. As long as his family can remember they have been craftsmen, operating in the tanning business. Their original location was on the riverbank in the Redroof District, as the city expanded they moved the tannery to the outskirts of town on the north-west bank, near the Night road to take advantage of the herds coming in from Nidal.

Taldo’s father is a shrewd business man named Toridan the Tanner, who started his business career inheriting his father’s tanner shop but in time he purchased the nearby slaughter house, meatpacking plant, soap making facility leather works and eventually a large upscale butcher shop. Toridan had several children with his first wife who passed away from a lingering disease. A few years later, seeing a business opportunity, he married the much younger Shaela, the only daughter of the well-to-do butcher, Festidious. As Festidious’ only child Shaela and Toridan became not only husband and wife but business partners as well.

Taldo’s older siblings ran the other aspects of Toridan’s businesses and Shaela ran the butcher shop with her father, Festidious and mother Cecile. When Taldo was little he spent a lot of time with his Grandmother Cecile. It was she who, when he was throwing a temper tantrum, learned he was a bloodrager. She taught him how to recognize when he was losing his temper and how to control it. Being a sorceress herself she taught him about hiding the heritage they shared and how to understand spell casting. During the time they spent together she told him about the different groups that had resisted the thrice-damned House Thrune, focusing on Kintargo history. She also introduced him to her goddess Milanite. They spent many mornings in grandma Cecile’s rose garden talking about all of these things. Of course if anyone asked why she kept roses the answer was simple, they used rose petals in the wash water and soap to remove the smells from the butcher shop and tannery.

As Taldo became a teenager he spent a lot of time working and learning the crafts of many of the other business, but always made time for his grandmother. He learned she was not the only family member who served gods other than Abadar, who his father claimed to serve, using their facilities for banking. Most of his siblings worshiped Desna or Cayden Cailean. He became a worshiper of Milanite, but publically claimed Abadar, like his family members. He learned that his grandmother was one of the priestess.

When Taldo was a young man his maternal grandfather, Festidious died, and he began to spend most of his time at the butcher shop, helping his mother and grandmother. He moved from his father’s house and lived upstairs over the shop. Around the same time he volunteered for the “outer-city” watch that many of his family were part of, putting to use the simple weapons skills he had learned from his grandfather and other family members. It was after he moved to the shop that he learned just how involved his grandmother was in other activities; coming home late in the evening or spending the entire night in Kintargo. When he would ask her about it she would tell him that the less he knew the better.

Everything changed after Thrune’s representative, Paracount Barzillai, arrived. That morning of the seventh of Abadius, Taldo awoke before dawn as was his habit, noting that grandma had not returned from the city, as had become her habit more and more. He noticed the odd smell of sulfur, brimstone and smoke in the usual smell of brine and seaweed as the fog settled, but thought nothing of it. By the time his mother arrived to open the shop Taldo became concerned with his grandmother’s absence. Hearing the Devils Bells ringing off in the distance, His mother, also concerned, agreed that Taldo should go into the city to inquire of grandma’s friends to see what was going on. DM Crustypeanut you can provide me with an appropriate name to place here later.

Taldo arrived near the Opera House a few moments after 7:00, just in time to hear the declarations implemented by the new Lord-Mayor: Paracount Barzillai Thrune. As the city guard and the Dottari began to force the crowd’s dispersal, Taldo was not able to find his Grandmothers friend. He returned home with the oppressive news. Since that morning Taldo has spent the last week carefully asking questions concerning his grandmother and for general news about what is happening. Speaking to each trusted customer he knows at the shop, and in the evenings going into the city to different establishments to hear word of what is going on in the city.

Taldo’s physical appearance, like so many Chelaxian, is a subtle and attractive mixture of heritage. His height, light brown hair warn in a high ponytail and blue eyes reflect the Ulfen heritage that occurs here more in the north than in the south. While his pale skin, thick bone structure, prominent brows and high hairline receding into a widow's peak clearly points back to his ancient Azlanti heritage.

When Taldo is about town he dresses to suit a well-to-do craftsman, properly displaying a bit of the leather work his family does. His doublet expensive spit leather dyed in maroon, His broad leather tooled belt with matching riding boots, a fine linen shirt and lambskin breaches. When you approach close enough the only smell is the slight hint of rose .

When Taldo is at the shop or about shop business, the finery is put away. He wears a heavy leather apron over his heavy double lined hide jacket and kilt. Heavy work boots, sturdy cotton work pants and shirt, usually seen with cleaver or hammer in hand, depending on the job he's is doing. The smell is no longer roses but blood and offal.

Taldo is the perfect merchant’s son; a combination of hardworking, industrious, organized but also affable, outgoing and engaging. Because of his bloodline he has learned self-control and patience. Thinking before he acts and weighing every decision. He is proud of his cheliax heritage but desires, above all else, freedom.

On the Myers-Briggs scale Taldo would be:ENFP - The Inspirer

Enthusiastic, idealistic, and creative. Able to do almost anything that interests them. Great people skills. Need to live life in accordance with their inner values. Excited by new ideas, but bored with details. Open-minded and flexible, with a broad range of interests and abilities.

Born with a brand in the shape of Shelyn's holy symbol on her right hand, as well an otherworldly, angelic beauty, everyone always considered Louise had been blessed by Shelyn, and she was inducted into temple of Shelyn from a young age, with some expecting her to follow her mother's Sophia's career as singer at the Kintargo Opera House.

Her father's nable family, however, was renowned for its skill at arms, and Louise's father, a strict, disciplined, military man, and made sure each of their children were trained for combat from a young age, Louise included.

At first, Louise resented this imposition, thinking it was just to fuel his pride in the family tradition, when she'd much rather follow a more peaceful path, dedicated to the arts. But now that she's older, and more aware ofnthe country's political landscape, she's starting to think it came more out of concern for their safety than anything else - especially hers, since her dedication to Shelyn would be impossible to conceal.

With things getting worser by the day, with nonsensical laws being forced on everyone, the opera being closed down, certain faiths being persecuted and their temples destroyed, and even some nobles' houses being burned down, her father's words to train hard so she can be able to protect herself and those who can't from everyone who would do them harm ring closer than ever. While she has always prayed for a peaceful future for her city, she has started to have doubts if it could ever be achieved.

When a close friend of hers told her that he/she was going to a protest and asked her to tag along, her first impulse was to refuse - things could get out of hand and the consequences for her and her family could be serious. But the more she considered it, the more she felt she had to go - exactly so she could try to defuse any situation before it got out of hand, and protect her friend and others if things went wrong.

There are some aasimars whose language transcends all boundaries. They gain a +2 bonus on Linguistics and Sense Motive checks, and they learn two languages each time they gain a rank in Linguistics. This racial trait replaces skilled.

Scion of Humanity
Some aasimars’ heavenly ancestry is extremely distant. An aasimar with this racial trait counts as an outsider (native) and a humanoid (human) for any effect related to race, including feat prerequisites and spells that affect humanoids. She can pass for human without using the Disguise skill. This racial trait replaces the Celestial language and alters the native subtype.

- Tessa was born to the Sarini family about 20 years ago.

- Due to her obvious celestial heritage, she was kept locked away for most of her life.

- She spent most of her time in her room reading.

- Her family tried to sacrifice her, using her as bait for an erinyes they wished to subjugate and use as a family guardian.

- During the ritual, she and an azata were bound and laid on the altar. Her panic unlocked a power she wasn't aware she had as the celestial was bleeding out. The magical energy released knocked out all of the house's members, guards, and servants, allowing her and Bendoc too escape.

- The azata was bound to Tessa as an eidolon.

- The erinyes was also bound to Tessa, but in her mind. The erinyes sometimes partially possesses Tessa, but is more of a voice in the back of her mind most of the time.

*************************
10-minute Background
*************************

Step 1: Background and Concept elements (at least 5) (history, description, personality) 

1. (Description) Bendoc, a Halfling, is small but well-muscled like a racehorse. The willowy halfling has an emotionless face that always looks like he is about to pass judgment on those around him. The most prominent feature is his large bulbous nose which sits above a thin lipped mouth set in a perpetual frown and recessed chin. His small, squinty, grey, eyes appear to miss little. Bendoc’s skin is pale from a lifetime spent indoors and stands in stark contrast to his styled dark colored hair. He is always freshly shaven, well groomed, and dresses impeccably, usually adorned in a red waist coat with dozens of pockets concealed in its lining. The diminutive halfling smells of roses and lavender.
2. (Personality) Bendoc comes across as officious and sardonic. The halfling is direct and to the point, not kind nor cruel, just blunt, but often condescending. He has a dry sense of humor which catches people by surprise. Bendoc is impeccably tidy and clean, and is meticulous about his gear keeping it organized and pristine. He often gives unwanted advice in a nasally monotone voice.
3. (Background) He was born a slave, property of House Delronge, in Egorian the imperial capital of Cheliax. His parents and brother were also bonded to the household. Life was hard but their owners were fair, if uncaring, and it was comforting that they were all together. That all changed when Bendoc turned nine and was sold to House Serini and carted off to their manor in Kintargo where he was secreted away as a slave, kept inside their estate, away from prying eyes.
4. (Background) The lord of House Serini was a harsh taskmaster and cruel for the sake of being cruel. Bendoc endured many beatings at his capricious hands. Overtime, he learned to feign obedience, and was given responsibility over the other slaves, acting as majordomo for the household. More importantly, to lord Serini, the officious halfling was found to possess a keen eye for detail, a quick wit, as well as steady nerves and became useful in helping his master cover up his indiscretions.
5. (Background) Bendoc learned the secretive halfling fighting arts from Jako, another slave a Serini Manor. This fighting style uses everyday items as weapon so slaves can train under the noses of their masters. He excelled at this training and after his escape started teaching it to other halflings in secret.
6.As unlikely as it sounds he formed a friendship with one of the Serini daughters, Tessa. She always offered Bendoc an extra measure of kindness, smuggled him books to read, and shared her hopes and dreams with him. Regardless, even after their escape, he refers to her as Mistress and never uses her first name.
7. One night, Bendoc was summoned by his master, who informed him that his skills would be needed. To his dismay he was taken to a room that had been prepared for a ritualistic sacrifice. Bendoc tensed prepared to fight as he thought he was the one to be sacrificed. However, he quickly realized, to his great dismay, that the evil Serini family were sacrificing one of their own, their daughter, Tessa.
All to soon the ritual began and Bendoc stood helpless as an ominous presence filled the room. In desperation the halfling rushed in and kicked over one of the candles encircling the alter, knocking it down, and disrupting the wicked ceremony. An insidious pulse of energy pushed its way through the room tossing people aside. This otherworldly force was being drawn into his friend and without thinking Bendoc ran towards the helpless woman and grabbed her. Unfortunately, he couldn’t stop the spirit from entering her and unwittingly became a conduit for another spirit to come into his body.
8.All who attended this ritual, except for Bendoc and Tessa, were incapacitated by the release of mystical energy allowing for the pair to escape. They didn’t go far, staying in Kintargo, finding a place to live in the Redroof district.

Step 2: Goals (one character, one player)


1. (Player) To see Bendoc grow into a leadership role.
2. (Character) To earn enough coin to buy the freedom for the rest of his family from the bonds of slavery.

Step 3: Secrets (known & unknown)


1. (Known) He secretly teaches a handful of halfling students the halfling improvised weapon fighting arts.

2. (Known) His hand has become possessed by a spirit. He is still trying figure out a way to live with it.
3. (Unknown) One of his students is a traitor secretly serving Thrune (you decide who.. it’s a secret)

Step 4: People (at least two allies/friends and one adversary)


1. (Ally) Khonnir, Peck, Joi, Inego, and Willup - a group of halflings being taught the halfling improvised fighting arts by Bendoc.
2.(Ally) Mistress Tessa Serini - daughter of his slave master. She was unwillingly subjected to a diabolical ritual resulting in her having a strange symbiotic relationship to an otherworldly creature. After the ritual the two escaped together (PC of Adam Warnock).
3.(Ally) Jako - old and wizened halfling slave who taught Bendoc the halfling improvised weapon fighting.

1. (Adversary) Lord Serini - Lord and Master of House Serini in Kintargo. The cruel and heavy handed man wants to see his errant property recovered, intact or in pieces.

Step 5: Three Memories, Mannerisms, or Quirks 

1. (Memory) The tears seemed to burn the young halfling’s eyes as he was torn from his mother’s grasp. The whip repeatedly brought down upon his head and shoulders as he was separated from her and stuffed into the back of a wagon.
2. (Memory) Bendoc held the mop in his hands swinging it around his head like a tornado, faster and faster. Jako’s encouraging voice rang in his ears, ”Good… good… you found the mops balance. But don’t forget your balance, everything starts with the hips. In the end it’s all about balance.”
3. (Memory) From his place of concealment the halfling watched in horror as the dark ritual progressed, the chanting reached a crescendo, and the horror came for the girl. He watched frozen, feet rooted in place, unable to act. Somehow he managed to move toward the circle and kicked over one of the candles, disrupting the ritual, but unprepared for what he unleashed.

Background Questions
1. What is your character’s name? Bendoc, and he dislikes nicknames. His name is really the only thing he owns and he holds it dear.
2. How old is your character? Bendoc is 38 years old although he appears older.
3. What would somebody see at first glance (i.e. height, weight, skin color, eye color, hair color, physique, race, and visible equipment)? The first thing you notice about Bendoc is that he is small, very small, even for a halfling. Despite his straight and rigid posture he stands noticeably under three feet tall but is well-muscled with broad shoulders and a narrow waist weighing close to 3 stone (42lbs). Upon further inspection of the wiry halfling you would notice his, large, bulbous nose which dominates his face making his small squinty grey eyes look more squinty and his recessed chin appear sunken by comparison. Bendoc’s skin is pale from a lifetime spent indoors and stands in stark contrast to his styled raven colored hair. He is always freshly shaven, well groomed, and dresses impeccably, usually adorned in a red waist coat with dozens of pockets concealed in its lining. The diminutive halfling carries a walking stick but you notice that his limp comes and goes. If you get close enough you realize that he smells of roses and lavender.
4. What additional attributes would be noticed upon meeting the character (i.e. Speech, mannerisms)? The halfling is overly formal, officious, and polite. He can often be heard giving advice (at times unwanted) in a nasally voice.
5. Where was your character born? Where were you raised? By who? Bendoc was born into slavery and, like his parents, owned by the Delronge family. He was born and raised at their manor in Egorian until he was sold to the cruel House Serini at age 9. The young slave was moved to the Serini Manor House in Kintargo where he was kept secretly as a slave.
6. Who are your parents? Are they alive? What do they do for a living? His parents, Delgo and Lillac, are both still alive and are currently slaves in Egorian owned by House Delronge but he hasn’t seen them in almost 30 years. His father, Delgo, works in the kennels and has a way with hounds. While his mother, Lillac, works in the kitchens.
7. Do you have any other family or friends? Yes, he has a brother who is still a slave owned by the House Vashnarstill where he serves as a shipwright in Kintargo. He also considers Mistress Serini his friend (Adam Warnock’s PC). Khonnir, Peck, Joi, Inego, and Willup - a group of halflings being taught the halfling improvised fighting arts by Bendoc. Jako, the halfling who taught him improvised fighting is still a secret slave of House Serini.
8. What is your character’s marital status? Kids? Very single, when he was a slave he was not selected as a breeder. Since he escaped with Mistress Serini he hasn’t been in any major relationships.
9. What is your character’s alignment? Neutral, Bendoc has learned it’s best to stay flexible and go whatever way the wind blows to survive. (Although he has chaotic good tendencies).
10. What is your character’s moral code? Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself, but do what it takes to survive.
11. Does your character have goals? Prior to the current changes in Kintargo he was saving coin to buy his family’s freedom.
12. Is your character religious? Sort of, he is a Shelynite but not a fanatic. He makes an offering or a quick prayer every now and then to the goddess of protection and luck as it is only common sense.
13. What are your character’s personal beliefs? People should be free, kind, and treat others with respect. Halflings should look out for each other.
14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)? The former slave is impeccably tidy and clean, he is meticulous about his gear keeping it organized and pristine. He can be condescending especially towards humans.
15. Why does your character adventure? Why would you join the rebellion? He would view it as an opportunity to improve the lot for his fellow halflings and his upbringing as a slave has left him with little tolerance for bullies. He is going to the protest to meet a contact to who has information on Bendoc’s missing student Willup.
16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer? Bendoc views it as a calling and a responsibility to his fellow halflings.
17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)? Angry red welts crisscross Bendoc’s back, a testament to his time spent as a slave.
18. How does your character get along with others? He gets along well with others, he is helpful but wary.
19. Is there anything that your character hates? Slavey, large dogs, and bullies.
20. Is there anything that your character fears? Whips, large dogs, and people who wield whips.Snakes, clowns, snake-clowns…. Lego Batman reference.

This diminutive, peculiar looking, halfling is well dressed and watches those around him like a bird of prey.

Traits
* Replaced magic lineage for focused mind (while shocking grasp is a staple for a magus, I'm trying to build Lars to have more consistent damage and less explosive one-shot kills)

Build Progression: Damage

Levels 1-2
At level 1, the 'plan' is to cast magic weapon as a standard action and arcane pool as a swift action. Without it, he is only +6 to hit and 1d6+4 damage. That is...pitiful. But taken together? It goes to +6 to hit and 2d6+5 damage. That still isn't what a basic fighter would do at level 1, but it much more respectable. Yes, he gets spellstrike at lvl 2. But I think that the magic weapon + shocking combo is still the way to go for consistent damage throughout a combat. Especially as he only has 1 spellslot at lvl1 and 2 spellslots at lvl 2.

Levels 3-4
At level 3 he gets piercing damage and 19-20 crit range. The "spike" doesn't come from this, but instead from having a +1 enchantment weapon. Now, he can use his arcane pool to add +1d6 electricity damage without wasting a standard action and spell slot. Therefore, better action economy and his spell slots can be used for shocking grasp.

Level 5
This is when the build actually turns on. Flamboyant Arcana and Arcane Deed - Precise Strike. That lets him get +lvl to damage as precision damage, as his fist will do piercing damage. Hopefully by this point he can afford to get 'agile' enchantment for his fist. But that isn't something that can be countered on, and even with it, it is only +2 damage. But it is part of the plan. Without any magic items, and when out of arcane pool and spell slots, it would be +9 hit and 1d6+10 damage.

How is this a change?
Originally, I was going to have Lars be strength based with dragon style with magic lineage shocking grasp. Instead, he will be dex based with precise strike and possessed hand. All in all...it should about even out, even if it is less damage at lower levels. But the idea is to have more consistent damage and less one-shot nuking.
