General NPCS:

Name: Mapogo
Age: 25
Race: Leonin
Class: Rogue/Fighter/Monk
Subclass: Swashbuckler
Background: Hermit
Mechanical Character Sheet
Backstory: Mapogo was once an ordinary leonin, but then he mysteriously developed a monstrous craving for murder and the consumption of humanoid flesh. After a particularly violent manifestation of these cravings, Mapogo retreated from society and fled into the wilderness to escape those who now wanted him dead and to keep himself from hurting anyone else. He discovered a strange and possibly magical key during his time in isolation, and would later go on to be drawn into the hunt with promises of a way to rid himself of his bloodthirst if he survived.

Background: Outlander

Name: Anemone "Annie" Stoneskipper

Age: 20

Race: Hexblood

Class: Warlock, Fathomless Patron, Pact of the Tome

Background: Feylost

Appearance: A scrawny young woman who stands at around 5'8, with pale bluish-grey skin, seaweed for hair, pale yellow eyes, and jagged shark-like teeth. Like all hexbloods, she has ears that split into forked points, and an eldercross around her head, hers resembling a crown of pale yellow coral. She is dressed in a dark, ragged dress that is decorated with bits of debris she found in the sea (e.g. fish hooks, an anchor, star fish etc)

Backstory: Annie was raised in the Feywild by her two sea hag 'aunts', Margot Minnowcatcher and Ivette Icebreaker, to replace the deceased member of their coven, Sadie Stoneskipper. Annie doesn't remember anything of her life before she was found, only that her aunts supposedly rescued her from a near-death situation and because of that, she should be grateful to them and do whatever she tells them. And for the longest time, Anenome was happy to do so: she trained with her aunts to do the same magic that they could, and believed all the things they told her about the Feywild and the realms beyond. Sure, they weren't always the nicest to her - Ivette in particular was quick to threaten her with violence the moment she did even the slightest thing wrong - but they were the only family she had and she did, in her own way, love and admire them.

It was only when she reached adulthood that things took a turn. Annie had already become a little more rebellious, her curiosity to experience the world away from her aunts' influence causing her to often sneak away and would often draw their ire, but the thing that finally pushed her away from them was when she overheard them talking about her. She would often hear them muttering about things when they thought she was out of earshot. Through these secret conversations, she discovered how they really felt about her and, more importantly, that they had not rescued her like they had said, but instead stole her away from her real family on the Material plane. Distraught, Annie decided to run away from her aunts, packing away any random objects she could find and leaving their cottage. Eventually, she managed to find her way out of the Feywild... only to find herself not in the Material Realm, but a strange demi-plane where she must fight for her own survival.
