Warlock 1 | Warforged | Lawful Neutral | Urban Bounty Hunter

Personality Traits
Stoic - Not a man of many words or feelings. While he understands emotions, Yoh often needs to verbally express them as he lacks the ability to emote.
Autonomous - Capable of self determination and independent action, enabling him to be able to both act by himself and choose to act alongside others.
Analytical - Not much occupies this simple machine's mind but his own thoughts. Thoughts about the situation, thoughts about the possibilities of the future, thoughts about secrets from the past. Just a lot of thinking.
Ideals
Cooperation - Alone Yoh needs to be careful, but with a team he can do so much more efficiently. And he likes efficiency.
Proactive - Yoh is not the type of person who waits for disaster to come to him. He will seek out the darkness before it can harm him or others.
Vigilante - Unable to rest both physically and mentally, Yoh will constantly seek out new threats even during moments of peace, always waiting and watching for danger in ever shadow.
Bonds
Friends - Family is what you make of it. With no knowledge of his creators or origins, Yoh stays with those who treat him well.
Peace - Though built for war, Yoh prefers a peaceful life and will do what he can to maintain peace around him, whether it is bickering neighbors or an army.
Community - Yoh knows through experience that the most powerful force in the universe is the cooperative power of a community, and he wishes to maintain said community, even if only for his own benefit.
Flaws
Selfish - Though Yoh is capable of caring about others, ultimately he only cares because of how others may inconvenience him. When confronted by the plight of strangers, cowards, or weaklings, he would need sufficient motivation to assist them beyond pity.
Disagreeable - Though Yoh wishes to cooperate with others, he is no slave or servant and will often speak out his thoughts, criticisms, and concerns with no regard to subtle or secrecy. He demands logical and reliable answers to his concerns, and a lack of either will earn his ire.
Violent - Yoh was built for war, and often his methods will reflect it. Though certainly capable of nonviolence, Yoh's presence in any situation means that at any moment he is entirely able and willing to kill or murder for no particular reason.
History
Yoh awaken in the sewers one day. He had no idea who he was, where he was at, or why he was here. For the longest time he had simply wandered around the sewers until eventually he was found by a gang of bounty hunters. They surprisingly were quite kind to him and integrated him into their gang, giving him a name and purpose. They taught him various skills to assist them and utilized his natural agility to aid them in hunts. This gang had no desire to bring about the destruction of the evil or chaos, they were simply men who had little skills beyond violence and are trying to survive by what means they could. They gave Yoh a basic lesson in morality, to not harm the innocent but at the same time avoid the ire of the powerful, but many of these things Yoh did not feel was right. For a long while he learned and stayed with this gang, slowly developing a sense of self before one day he felt a higher calling. Magic powers filled Yoh for reasons he could not adequately explain, but he knew that his destiny did not lay here. He bid farewell to his fellows, many who had moved on up in the world, and sought out the city of Waterdeep, feeling an explainable urge to simply look for work there.

Lvl 1 Wizard | Changeling | Chaotic Neutral | Charlattan

Personality Traits
Boot-Licker- I will sing praises, I will worship whatever you desire, I will eat grass if you serve it to me on a plate and call it gourmet cuisine, all to earn your favor. The only thing I will not do is harm others, as that would make it harder to get their favor in turn.
Dedicated- If I commit to doing something, I will do it without a fault. I shall persist in the face of failure, but of course will try to adapt and learn from my mistakes. If there is no way to fix my failure, then I shall find a way to atone.
Trickster- Trickery and subterfuge is my go-to solution to conflict. I don't mind playing dirty, and especially when confronted I will hide in a web of lies, hoping that if I just make it dense enough I can keep the danger away. Until then, keep a smile on your face, remain invisible, unless your role requires you do otherwise.
Collector- Albeit not excessively or compulsively, Nei likes to collect many different things, including scraps from magical research, torn book pages, old toys and various other things. She especially likes things that remind her of herself, or the opposite, which are adaptable to different roles she might come to wear.

Ideals
Reliability- It is those you can count on who are really worth keeping around you. Nomatter what you do, if you can't at least live up to the expectations of those you deal with, then what's the point of you? And if you betray those you owe, then certainly you are the lowest kind of scum.
Lawless- The law is a trade and breaking it is an investment. You give up freedom for security, and you incur a risk to earn something when you lose that security. Neither one is more valid, but neither gets to complain about their choices either.
Affection- Bliss is to have people who truly care for you, who will be there for you nomatter what. If you want that happiness, you need to work for it, and if others give you a bit of it, you better show gratitude for such an act.

Bonds
Lord- The only friend I ever had for long ever since I was a child, who stuck with me throughout my childhood. It seems other people can't hear him though, which is kind of weird, but he doesn't mind, he's a cool guy. He even casts spells for me!
Dain Fireforge- This kindly wizard is the dwarf that took me in after I was chased out of my hometown and even aided me in getting my own occupation. He also was my first real introduction to magic, and Lord's too. I really miss him, but I also understand I was such a bother to him back then that he probably doesn't want to see me again. Still, I'll show him what gratitude I can by at least taking the job he managed to find for me with all my heart!
The Little Hut- My own little home, earned by my own means (albeit with a little help), one of the few places where I feel safely being myself...if I even know who "I" am anymore.

Flaws
Naiveté- My knowledge and understanding of other people is very limited and thus I’m easily tricked and have trouble understanding people truly, despite my efforts at researching the matter.
Shameless- For my ultimate goal of attaining affection for myself, no depth is too low. Whether it be committing crimes for someone or resorting to brainwashing, I will do whatever it takes to get people to like me. Because of my obsession, I can lose sight of where the boundaries are normally supposed to be around other people, and my sense of shame is next to non-existent.
Low Self-Esteem- I hold myself in very low regard, and thus don’t believe I am truly capable of doing great things on my own. Each failure only furthers how mentally dependent I am of others.

History
Even disregarding Nei's pale appearance, the trauma was too much for Nei's mother embrace motherhood. She was a fickle, noble woman who fell for the charms of the first soft-spoken guy weighing less than their horse who put moves on her. She had, after all, been pampered all her life, how was this any different? But pregnancy was an arduous process, and birthing more painful than anything she could conceive of. Just the thought of keeping around the creature that caused her so much pain was beyond her. With some coins to hire a nanny, Nei and her father were kicked out, lucky enough that their true species was not outted.

Nei's father, however, while willing to raise the child out of a sense of guilt was never one for commitment. He left Nei to a competent nanny who was too well-known, and thus often times too busy looking after a herd of children to give special attention to any single one. Changelings age fast though, and as such Nei's father would soon come to stop leaving her in the care of a nanny, or anyone's for that matter.

Despite his nature, her father was an honest and honorable person. He repaid favors, refused to outright lie and more often than not attempted to keep to the spirit of things. The person he was the most honest to was himself, thus he lived a life of hedonism as he pleased, but the second person he was most honest to was without a doubt Nei. Never once did he bother sugarcoating things for her, albeit he never attempted to be harsh either. He brought her food, he answered her questions, he tried teaching her a few things even. Always straight, always direct, always so distant. She didn't even know how to express it. Sometimes her father came back and was a she, and Nei was confused, but she didn't really know how to tell him, what was wrong exactly?

During this time, her only friend was Lord, a stuffed dragon she received from her father, as even her trips out only resulted in her finding out how much her normal appearance weirded people out. One day, however, her father asked her to come with him after he came home. He had her infiltrate a birthday party, telling Nei strictly that nomatter what, they couldn’t find out she was a changeling while she was there. Albeit just barely, Nei was able to do as told, and her father congratulated her on proving she could be independent.

Nei was so happy for the praise that she never realized what it actually meant, until she noticed her father was gone the next day.

It seemed her outings had led to rumors spreading of a changeling being in town. As beings who can copy the appearance of others, changelings naturally cause suspicion and paranoia where they go, as anyone could be them. As a result of the tightening environment, her father had opted to leave as soon as he could have, for himself. some reassurance that Nei would be able to be on her own as a changeling.

As any child in her position would, she immediately proceeded to attempt to find her father, futile though she, deep down, knew it was. She didn’t forget to wear a form as a disguise, but (fearing it might appear too odd to see someone suddenly and without reason running around frantically) she opted to shift shape periodically. This backfired, leading people to realize she was a changeling and pursuing her. Although she managed to get away, Nei had been chased out of her hometown.

She was discovered by a kindly wizard dwarf, who sought her for her abilities as a changeling. The dwarf took Nei in, under the condition that she took the form of a certain child in a portrait he showed her. Times were happy for a while, but over time the wizard closed themselves off more and more in their own chambers, even as Nei became more increasingly clingy. After they had a fight in which she was called a ‘pest’, in which Nei realized she had been a bother to the dwarf (albeit she was unable to understand why), he proposed she find some form of job. Nei, however, knew very little of the ways of the world, and so the dwarf aided her in finding a profession with some of his connections.

What Nei sold was a dream, a lie, to those who wanted to deceive themselves or their families. She would take the role of an unfulfilled crush or of missing or even dead loved ones. She would stand-in for people who did menial work and on rare occasions go to a duel on someone’s behalf (and inevitably take a beating). While at such a job, she attempted to understand what could make people finally like having her around, but she soon learned not to reveal her true nature. She grew more and more desperate...

Eventually, she moved out of the dwarf’s home and onto a small hut of her own, partially subsidized by her former caretaker. Once alone, the shame and fear of repercussion for more extreme methods of finding ‘friends’ was greatly lowered, and little by little, she began exploring paths for it, from medicine to (most recently) magic. She's furnished with little bits of a collection she began piling up, including some old basic magic tomes. Learning the "Prestidigitation" cantrip allowed her to convince many of her clients she was simply a wizard under an illusion, thus thwarting more panic due to her being a changeling.

She was recently contacted by a local prodigal sorcerer who wished to hire her to go to a meeting at a certain tavern while taking her shape, and conducting whatever business the other party wanted in her stead.

During his travels he found many forests, meadows, and groves that could have been a good home, but inevitably, he always felt pulled away. Despite never finding what he was searching for, or even knowing what he was searching for, Baldrick continued to roam the land offering what aid he could to those he met. Eventually, he was found himself drawn to the city of Waterdeep, the first city he had very been to. Unsure why he was here, Baldrick was determined to find the reason why the city called to him.

History
Born as a devil child, Atone's parents did what they believed was the only sensible thing: leaving him on the front stoop of a church in the dead of night. When he was discovered the next morning the priest who found him took him in instead of eradicating him there and then for he could see the possibilities that were now open to him. Atone was raised in the church performing various tasks such as cleaning, assisting with certain ceremonies, and carrying out any other task that others thought to be below their station. The priest also made sure he was fully exposed to the teachings of the gods, especially how said gods felt about devils and demons.

As he was old enough the priest began having him trained by some of local paladins. He then explained to Atone that his devilish heritage was a sin and thought he must absolve himself of his very existence by performing great deeds in the name of the gods. In order to ensure that Atone continued his holy mission, the priest gave him a holy symbol in the form of a crucifix with a ruby embedded in the center of it to wear around his neck. Atone was told that once he had atoned for his existence as a spawn of Hell in the eyes of the gods, the ruby would turn blue. What the priest didn't tell him was that the ruby was completely mundane in nature and so would never actually turn blue. This would ensure that his perfectly indoctrinated little devil would continue doing the gods' worked until his inevitable demise. The devil would be exterminated and the gods' will carried out. Two birds with one stone.
