Appearance
Kayleigh is a pretty if not striking young woman with pale skin and short blonde hair. She has a kindness that is reflected in her eyes and her face projects an element of naivety.
Personality
Kayleigh’s a friendly person, if not particularly outgoing with strangers. Once someone’s earned her loyalty, however, she’s a friend for life. Kayleigh’s something of a bleeding heart, often caring more for the poor and downtrodden than she does for herself. She currently dwells in a small apartment in the Bridgefront area of Old Korvosa, spending much of her time ministering to the poor and downtrodden.

Kayleigh’s Backstory
It was two years after Kayleigh’s parents had perished in a fire. She’d been taken in by a friend and neighbor of her mother’s, an unmarried woman poor in looks but rich in kindness. One day that winter, her new guardian didn’t wake up one cold morning, and Kayleigh was alone in the world. She was taken in by a man named Ghaedren Lamm. This mean tyrant had a pack of kidnapped and ‘rescued’ orphans who worked for him in exchange for meager food rations and a roof over their heads at night. Ghaedren was a lowly crime lord, the children his pickpockets and thieves.

Well, Kayleigh’d been an awkward, somewhat uncoordinated child at the time. She was a terrible pickpocket, a hopeless thief or lookout, and an even worse liar. She was destined for a short-lived apprenticeship under the merciless Lamm, but things escalated when the girl found a wondrous silver amulet attached to a fine silver chain wedged in a crack between the street and a damaged curbstone. She recognized the piece of jewelry to be a holy symbol of some kind: The pendant featured a delicate rose growing out of a crack in a cobblestoned street. Kayleigh traveled all the way to the Pantheon of Many in South Shore to learn more about the holy symbol and the faith it represented, and to return it to the priest or priestess who’d lost it, if she must.

Her inquiries were met with blank stares from many priests at the multidenominational shrine, but when she showed the silver rose to the priest of the god Iomedae, he recognized it as the holy symbol of the goddess Milani. He told the waif what he knew of Milani’s faith before asking where her parents were. Kayleigh stammered something unintelligible and was preparing to flee when the priest smiled and said, “You keep that necklace, little girl. May it protect you and give you courage….”

…and that was all the priest managed to say before Kayleigh fled, running most of the way back to Midland and Lamm’s headquarters. Certain the cruel man would steal her treasure if she brought it into his hideout, Kayleigh held the holy symbol in her hand, thinking hard of a safe place where she could stash it. That’s when Ghaedren Lamm’s bony fingers closed hard on her shoulder.

The crime lord broke the holy symbol before the girl’s eyes before beating her to within an inch of her life and tossing her body in an alley just off Harborview Boulevard. Kayleigh would have died if the Iomedaean priest she’d met hadn’t decided to follow the obvious orphan street urchin when she fled north. The girl had lost him shortly after entering Midland, but luckily he’d found her again before she’d breathed her last. The cleric took the child back to the Pantheon of Many, healed her wounds, and offered her a job cleaning the temple and helping out with other odd jobs and errands. Kayleigh remained in South Shore at the temple for roughly a third of her life, until Milani heard her fervent prayers and granted her the powers of a Merciful Healer. Kayleigh then moved to Bridgefront in Old Korvosa—one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods—to better care for Korvosa’s most needy: the sick, poor, and underprivileged.

Backstory
Davin was abandoned in the Midland as a small child, it is still unknown who left him there. He was found by a passing merchant and brought to an elderly dwarven couple who lived above the city forge. They raised him until he grew old enough to take care of himself, teaching him the ways of dwarven culture and blacksmithing. When he turned fifteen, still quite young by dwarven standards, they asked that he leave them, to make his own way in the world and find success without it being handed to him. Although harsh, they left Davin with a firm belief in the value of his own work, and a conviction that if he tried hard that he would be rewarded by Abadar’s grace.
He left the Midland and wandered through the city into the Shingles, with no real plan as to what he would do. As he walked through the streets, he saw a man surrounded by children and teenagers of all races, talking to them and accepting coins from each one. He approached the group, asking Is there work to be found here? The man smiled, walking closer to him and nodding, Indeed there is, would you be looking for a job?
At the beginning, the old man, whose name was later revealed to be Gaedren, was a tolerant employer. Davin was running errands and delivering messages, and received a reasonable share of coins for it. However, as time went on, the number of coins he was given steadily decreased, with many being taken back by Gaedren or the other boys. After a few months, Davin was approached with an offer to increase his earnings, he could begin to break into houses and closed shops, and Gaedren would sell the items for him so that he would not be associated with them. Davin refused, Abadar would never condone theft, he said. Gaedren nodded, seemingly respectful of Davin’s choice, and the topic was not brought up again.
About four months later, Davin was cornered by one of the older boys, who forced him to serve as a lookout while he robbed a nearby merchant. No guard came near, and the older boy disappeared into the crowd without trouble afterwards. When Davin came to Gaedren, telling him about the incident, Gaedren seemed sympathetic and promised to ensure that it wouldn’t happen again. The next night, the boy and a few of his friends found Davin’s sleeping place and dragged him into an alley. Gaedren watched as they beat him mercilessly, then left him for dead.
When Davin woke, he was in a bed, being treated by a cleric of the Korvosan Guard. They asked him who had hurt him, but when he told them, they did not answer. Upon pressing the nearby guards, they stated that because it was not Gaedren who had physically assaulted him, they would not go after him, and it was not worth it to track down the boys. Davin was released onto the streets the next day, with no plans other than to avoid the Shingles and make his living in a way that would receive Abadar’s praise.

Ranger 1

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).

Favored Enemy (Ex)

Humanoid (Human)

At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.

At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2.

If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. (Note that there are other types of humanoid to choose from—those called out specifically on the table below are merely the most common.) If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger's bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.

Track (Ex)

A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.

Wild Empathy (Ex)

A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.

Backstory
--------------------

Age: 23
Hair: Auburn
Eyes: Brown
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 120 lbs.

Backstory: Ceril was born in the city of Korvoso, and was raised follow the rules and keep his nose clean. He worked hard, studied hard, and was well on his way to the elite Sable Company. It was his dream to ride with one of those magnificent beasts, the proud gryphons.

But now, because of Gaedran Lamm, he'd probably never get the chance. An accusation of murder doesn't leave you untarnished.

It was a case of being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, but spending a week in custody was enough to ward of Sable Company's recruiters as his folks ran around collecting bail money. Even now, with his name clear, his blemished reputation is smeared all over the dirty boot of the real murderer, Gaedan Lamm.

And Ceril is going to get some payback, even if he has to track him past the city limits.

Personality: Ceril is undergoing a personal crisis. Before his life was sent spiraling, he actually was a very law focused citizen. But now, a personal vendetta has driven him to question if the law's of his home are truly all they were built up to be.
Often, you'll find him looking skyward, still a shred of hope that one day he'll be flying with a bestial friend someday.

Ceril is a Ranger that focuses primarily on Ranged attacks and a variety of trick arrows for special circumstances. While normally very lawful, a recent event (his framing for a murder) has caused him an internal conflict of deciding if staying true to the law is really worth it. He is planning (and I am hoping) to get a gryphon animal companion at some point so he can protect his comrades from the sky.
