Dodger

Dodger

"Ya know that incredibly valuable necklace yer wearin'? I just nicked it. Lovely seein' ya!"

Background: Dodger began his life in extreme poverty. A week after his birth, Dodger was sold to the thieves guild by his single mother to pay off her debts. Although Dodger was technically a slave to the thieves guild, they never brought it up. This was mainly because Dodger loved being a thief too much to ever want to stop. As the years went by, Dodger took up a side job as a explorer for The Red Dragon Bone Guild. This was mainly because Dodger needed something to keep him occupied while he waited for the heat to die down in between his bigger heists.
Personality: Dodger is an impulsive amoral kleptomaniac. If he sees something valuable and/or interesting, he'll take it without a 2nd thought. He's also somewhat lecherous, and tends to unintentionally let his guard down around any woman with a pretty face and bared shoulders.
Frederic: Dodger shares a head with his stillborn twin brother. On his way out, Frederic's soul somehow got itself stuck inside Dodger's mind and From that point on, Frederic became a voice in Dodger's head. Frederic disapproves of Dodger's larcenous habits, and so he constantly attempts to talk Dodger out of stealing. Most of the time though, Frederic's attempts are an exercise in futility.

Background
Rapunzel's father was a member of the Red Dragon Bone Guild, so it was only natural the she follow his footsteps. Often on less dangerous trips she would accompany her father in his explorations. She was as normal as any child could expect to be, all limbs intact, vocal functions, not mutant hair. A little short though. Naturally that would change, well two of those three. When she was 17 she ventured into a place she'd proudly found on her own, and was determined to explore as well. Unfortunately she made the cardinal mistake.

Rapunzel grabbed the shiny object off of the pedestal. To her credit she did thoroughly check the room for traps of any sort. She hadn't accounted for magic though. The jewel encrusted comb she so proudly snatched away let out a burst of magic. The only thing that saved her wild hair from strangling her was a pendant she wore, a memento from her long dead mother. A few hours later Rapunzel woke up, with normally shoulder length hair laying at her ankles.

Very bewildered Rapunzel made her way out of the half-buried temple and home. She quickly found out she was unable to speak, but managed to make her way to a healer of sorts. He determined her condition was permanent, though was able to describe the specifics of it a bit more. What happened was the curse of the comb was fused with the protective magic of the amulet, resulting in a strange combination of the two. The muteness he couldn't explain other than the trauma that her body experienced as a result. Rapunzel's hair could now grow and retract at an abnormal rate, as well as being exceptionally tough, under her sort of mental control, and it could be used to preform physical tasks for more difficult than Rapunzel could do normal. From then on she's been using her new gifts to help her work, having an extra pair of hands, or ten, could really make things easier.

His tough nature also puts him as a prime subject of magical training that needs living subjects. He's gotten to know the guild's healers really well, after several magicians ended up accidentally launching him or burning him in their training. With Sebacia expanding it's borders to the edge of the wilderness, James has found himself dealing with a lot of strange beings.

[KingOfTager]

Character

Kalyum Regnazzar

Age: 22

Background: Kalyum was born the sole heir to the Regnazzar family of mages. In years past, the Regnazzar family had been at the forefront of magical research, but as years passed their heirs began to show low magical proficiency, and before long the Regnazzar family stood at the brink of collapse. In an attempt to redeem their family, Arevan Regnazzar, patriarch of the family, began to dive into new magical research involving parallel planes, namely the Astral Plane. He and his wife, Nalissa, dove headlong into this research together. After years of failures and deadends, Regnazzar finally began to see results. The method worked infrequently, but the power was there, and Regnazzar began to study the power day and night, even working in his own mansion.

Kalyum was only 8 years old when it happened. Though he remembers little of the incident, he could recall a flash of bright light and a strange sort of melting sensation coming from his arms and legs. Beside him lay his mother, unmoving, gazing at him with a cold stare. Above him was his father, tears streaming from his eyes as he gathered various reagents, muttering strange unknown words under his breath. Kalyum tried to raise his arm, but instead what he saw was a dark shadowy mass falling apart on himself.

Kalyum's body had become what his father called an Astral Mass. A body of pure magical energy. Uncontrolled, it would eventually pull itself apart and return to the Astral Plane, almost certainly killing him in the process. Arevan had managed to create a talisman that would help control the process, but his body was no longer his own. Even with the aid of the talisman, his body was not that of a human's. His legs could not even be called legs, rather, they were gelatinous pools of pure darkness. Not knowing what else to do, Arevan did his best to teach his son to control the power. First he learned to form a human hand, and then imitate human skin. It would be 3 years before Kalyum would be allowed to return outside again, but he wasn't done yet.

Kalyum wanted more than to appear human, he wanted to cure himself. Initially, Kalyum desperately tried to learn traditional magic from his father, but his body rejected the arcane arts. Instead, his father taught him what little he had developed in the realm of the Astral Plane, and together they forged a pair of swords not unlike Kalyum himself. Infused with energy originating from the Astral Plane, the blades were as formless as Kalyum was, and like him, he could change their shape at will. Christening the blades Nocturne and Requiem, Kalyum left home to travel the world, searching for a way to cure himself of his affliction. After many years, he came across the Red Dragon Bone Guild...
