I do think two characters (or at least the option) would be a good idea considering the likely fatality rate. And the opportunity to bring more in later.

[@JaceBeleren] Turns out our characters are in the same profession. (I hadn’t fully read your CS until I was halfway through making mine.) The world is a big place, of course, but they might be acquainted as a result.

My take on it - [color=black][sub]ah damn hes going off again, run[/sub][/color]
In a warlike world, a mercenary knowing another mercenary is likely as a member of one army meeting a specific random member of another army in real life, which could well be someone from the national guard of Brazil vs. some soldier from Israel.

It seems to me that you'd be about as likely to meet the dragon girl as you would that particular fellow mercenary. I'd imagine they would be quite common in such a chaotic place.
