I don't mind that, though that should probably be Arnannel's ancestor? Maybe his father. I don't know if it's specified in the core rulebook, but my interpretation is elves mature the same rate as human, they just live longer, so Arnannel is still young given the timeframe of the war.
The book does say that they live up to 350 years. I think the having Arnannel’s father be the one to give the Brevil family the book makes sense. ^_^
@Guardian Angel Haruki let me know if any of the colors get hard to read. I'm trying to check them before posting but want to make sure it's legible to you as well.
@Guardian Angel Haruki Dimple once came to Pepper's college during her time there and gave a guest lecture on Clank augmentations and the effects they have on organic beings. Did Pepper attend his lecture? If so, what lessons did she learn from it that she still finds useful to this day?
You’re kidding, right? …Of course she would attend! XD
She would have learned a lot from that lecture. One lesson and a conclusion she drew from the lectures after thinking them over have been stuck in her mind.
Firstly, the use of Clank augmentations could be used in the medical field. She realized that Clank augmentations can do wonders for an amputee and improve their quality of life.
(Second point she learned) However, she also learned how the Clank augmentations extended Dimple’s life span to the point that he’s all alone. Mulling over that fact further, she ended up realizing that there is a Theseus’s Ship problem to the aspect of using Clank Augmentations on patients.
To what extent should augmentations should be used, and would that patient still be themselves after the augmentations? When should a patient receive the augmentations and at what point should they just…pass? If taken too far, the augmentations could become like growth corruption in the Fanewick.
I have an idea for a connection between Pepper and anyone from Fanewick if either of you are interested (and if the DM is okay with this. ^^")
I was thinking that the Book in Pepper's inventory "The Book you're trying to translate", is a family heirloom. She was given this book before she left to find the cure, and was told to take great care of it. Naturally, she would be curious about the book and work to try and translate it on her own time.
She doesn't know the contents and the history behind the book: Pepper's wizard ancestors received this book after somehow saving the life of a Fanewick resident. Perhaps the Fanewick resident was Arnannel himself, or a relative of his, or somebody else he knows.
Dimple could have seen this happen, if not know the Brevil ancestor himself, and maybe recognize Pepper as their descendant?
Pepper was born to a small family. Both of her parents are very knowledgable wizards in their own right, but they are not Archmaguses themselves. Her father studied magic itself and how it works, while her mother studied astronomy. The both of them simply wanted to live a peaceful life and have a family while they contributed to Haven through their research into their respective fields of study.
Pepper originally had a twin sister, Daisy. Unfortunately, when the both of them were toddlers, they contracted the Serpent's Sickness. Pepper was able to recover, while Daisy succumbed to the petrification. The loss struck Pepper and her parents hard.
Ever since then, Pepper took her studies seriously. She was able to get into a prestigious wizard college, and graduate! The events in the school were uneventful, as her days were filled with grueling study sessions. After graduation, many wizards were expected to enter an apprenticeship before they become wizards of her own.
Pepper, unfortunately, ended up being the apprentice to Archmagus Lapin. The man was well-renowned for numerous discoveries, most of them lead to the medical advancements of Haven. What nobody knows about him is that none of those discoveries are truly his. Archmagus Lapin takes the discoveries of his apprentices and calls them his own. Despite his acts of fraud, his knowledge of magic, his ability to practically apply magic, and his charisma allows him to keep his Archmagus status, and he is able to sabotage his apprentices.
Pepper was also one such target. Her naivety, optimism, and curiosity blinded her to the Archmagus's demeanor and actions towards her. She simply followed his instructions, and as part of the natural progression, the Archmagus complained and stuck her with ordinary chores. As a result, Pepper studied more about healing magic on her own time outside of the apprenticeship. She didn't mind though, that was what she wanted to do.
Her time in the apprenticeship comes to an end, when Archmagus was asked to cure a person afflicted with the Serpent's Sickness. Pepper recognized a mistake that the Archmagus was going to make, but when she tried to speak up, he silenced her and continued the medical procedure. She didn't disobey, and as a result, the victim's petrification sped up and the victim now stands as a statue.
After that, Archmagus laid the blame of his mistake onto Pepper, and she was kicked out of the apprenticeship program. Naturally, Pepper was distraught, as that would mean the end of her wizarding career. But after a while of shock and mourning, she realizes something:
She is free to find the cure on her own!
So, with that, she resolves herself to go out to the world and find the cure to Serpent's Sickness, no matter what it takes. Her parents were concerned upon hearing this, but there was clearly no changing Pepper's mind.
Her father didn't want her to go alone. He was able to speak with a family friend and hire a Guardian to protect her on her journeys.

Class Questions What responsibilities did your community once count on you for? How did you let them down? I just graduated, and got into an apprenticeship with Archmagus Lapin! He was quite strict, but he knew much about healing! Unfortunately, I am a bit of klutz and he always got angry at me for bringing the wrong items to him. It’s confusing…I know I brought him and did everything he asked…
Still! I was ready to learn and meet patients! But…he decided it was best I stayed and did chores instead…to improve my motor control skills, he said…
Oh! My failure? …Right…Master Lupin documented that it was my fault that his medicine for the Serpent’s Sickness didn’t work. In fact, his medicine only made the rate of petrification increase. …I knew I should have brought him the Kakiori Herb and not the Wolfsbane he asked for…
You’ve spent your life searching for a book or object of great significance. What is it, and why is it so important to you? Well, since I got booted from the Apprenticeship with Archmagus Lapin, I might as well figure out another cure for Serpent’s Sickness on my own then! I’ve been studying on my own, so this is another perfect opportunity!
Curing the sickness is important to me, because my sister succumbed to it…while she and I were toddlers. I don’t want anyone to suffer like that. That’s why I studied and worked so hard to be a Wizard expert in healing! I’m going to do my best!
You have a powerful rival. Who are they, and why are you so determined to defeat them? ....I have a rival? …I can’t think of anyone…
Huh? Archmagus Lapin? You think he acted out of line? Sure, he’s strict, but…
…You think he was sabotaging me during my apprenticeship? Why would he do that? I’m nowhere near Archmagus yet…
Seems good for me now. Which is good, 'cause I can get back to fleshing out the setting information.
<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>
Well immediately I want to point out have linked the character sheet with the mechanical information or mention what her wizard subclass is. Other than that, though, it looks good.
Oh shoot! Sorry!
I just added in her Wizard Subclass: School of Knowledge.
I have the mechanical sheet ready, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to upload the mechanical sheet up yet. Again, sorry about that. I'll try and figure something out.
