Damage is used to determine the physical destruction that may be caused by a single
use of a character's attribute, ability, skill, or equipment.
Distance is a measurement of range that an ability, equipment, or skill can span with a
single use. Note that some movement abilities rank under distance rather than speed.
Duration is the measurement of time that a character's ability, skill, or equipment may
continue to function without further action.
Rate is the range of time that determines how often an ability, skill, or equipment may
operate before being available again.
This attribute is used to determine the rate of physical movement as a result of a
power, equipment, and even a skill, if appropriate. This is separate from distance.

Duty:
Abraham works and lives his life with a clear sense of purpose.
He takes pride in his work and enjoys and honest sweat.
Abraham keeps his ego in check and knows his place in social situations.
He feels that life is to be enjoyed and cherishes his time with others.
Abraham is a big man with a voice to match with only one volume level.
He startles easily and suffers nightmares from the many battles he's endured.
Abraham has a tender spot in his right torso where bullet lead is still lodged.
He is bound to his many duties in life and will not neglect them.
BACKGROUND
When Abraham was a young teen of 13, he was already taller than his father and stronger than
every boy of his age. Since his family had come upon hard time, he took any kind of work he could find,
regardless of how physically intensive it was. Eventually, he came upon an apprenticeship at a local
printing press and would work there until nightfall. He eventually married and built their home with the
meager earning he could bring in. It was quaint, but it was enough to start a nice life together. However,
war broke out and without hesitation, Abraham volunteered. He was an encourager to his brothers in
arm and would never give up. He fought for the same reasons everyone else did and wasn't one to be
persuaded to forget what he left back home. Unfortunately, war is ugly and doesn't leave a man when
the man leaves war. Although Abraham has returned home to his wife and adequate job, he will be the
first to rally the militia when trouble turns its ugly head.
HIS SECRET: Abraham's printing press secretly prints coded messages to aid in times of war.
“It is the utmost evil to do NOTHING. ”

He is constantly watching out for cops and others who might ambush him.
BACKGROUND
Greez used to patrol the open streets and skies, as a police bot. Of all the units in the automated
police force, he was the most respected and well-liked. To the program's operators, it seemed as if
Officer Drillbit was a perfectly coded machine. However, that didn't last. On a routine patrol around the
city, Officer Drillbit noticed something flashing on his radar. Upon further inspection, he discovered a
few punks trying to hustle some citizens with junk and drugs. Greez attempted to intervene as he called
for backup. Unaware of two large junk droids in the shadows, Greez was ambushed, beaten, and
dismantled. One of the junkies, a former robotics engineer, pieced what remained of Greez back
together. Unfortunately, he is now just a shell of the bot he once was. No longer fit duty, he has turned
to the lifestyle that ruined his.
HIS SECRET: Greez still retains connection the police lines of communication and passcodes.

farm with meager earnings. They were never starving, but they came close every few winters. But their
lives were peaceful, until slavers came and took them all away. She was seperated from them, and was
to be sold to a rich, wealthy merchant. Somehow, thanks to luck, tenacity, and a very heavy slab of
stone, she overpowered one of her captors, and took his clothes and mask as her own. By the time her
escape had registered, she was already fleeing out of town, trying to head back to where she had last
seen her family. Now, using the slavers reputation, she traverses the world, trying to pick up the trail for
her family, all the while having to hide who she really is.

Darendor always has another project or goal in mind that he is working towards.
He always displays respect towards his elders and revered objects.
Darendor has subjected himself to a vow of honesty and refuses to deceive.
He hates being late and will always arrive very early to avoid tardiness.
Darendor has a fear of snakes and will avoid any possibility of encountering them.
His brother still serves as a mercenary and still loves him dearly.
When Darendor abandoned serving riches, he made many enemies.
He serves for free and relies entirely on the benevolence of others.
BACKGROUND
When they were younger dwarves, Darendor and his brother, Grimblade dreamed of being
valiant warriors and adventurers. Every morning they would get up to train and spar with each other.
The two became some of the fiercest warriors their village had ever known. The pair had a reputation
of fighting for the good in the world. They were the two that anybody could turn to for assistance if there
was trouble afoot. All they asked in return was provisions of some sort to pay for their time. However,
not all good things last. Eventually jobs with higher pay took priority and slowly, the two found
themselves working for the riches instead of what was right. Darendor finally had enough and split ways
with his brother who wouldn't relinquish the allure of gold and gemstones. To right his wrongs, Darendor
began a guild of adventurers who lived off the generosity of locals and vowed to never again accept a
bribe from those who claimed need of his services.
HIS SECRET: Darendor loves elves and finds them to be the most beautiful creatures.

This is Parbub's first venture into civilisation
the Axe is his life. Should he lose it, he can never go home.
BACKGROUND
Warriors of the Tan'uk Orc Tribe are the few not known for their ferocity in battle, but rather their
smart, tactical ways when it comes to all matters of War. This is because, the Tan'uk rever their
weapons as holy symbols, and combine them with the spirit of their previous owners by attaching their
head to a part of it. Parbub, having finally passed his coming of age test, was granted the Axe of Sarow,
the previous orc chieftain from two generations ago, in hopes that he will learn from her and her ways to
become their next ruler. He has been told to travel the world with her in tow, and learn much from other
tribes of the region, so as to understand those who may soon be enemies.
HIS SECRET: Darendor loves elves and finds them to be the most beautiful creatures.
“Neither me, nor my Axe, are letting you leave. ”
