The Dreams of the Old Ones
Even now I can hear them, crying out in their sleep… we can make it all right again… We will break these Nightmarish chains, and bring everything back to the sweet Dreams of lives once lived… Awake! Rise and remember! Before it’s too late… remember it all…
Come to me, fading remnants, Oblivion awaits us!
Defiant Spark
STR 13 VIT 15 AGL 8 INT 13 AWR 10 ATN 13
A talented smithy, you wear dark, steely armor and wield the magic of a very old flame as well as your heavy, two-handed hammer… Yet you can’t seem to remember any of your life before the forge. You must have been a child once, and surely you were an apprentice before you became a true smith. You can’t remember a time you weren’t wearing your armor, but… what need does a smith have to wear such equipment? You forged it… you remember that much, but to protect yourself from what?
Starting Equipment: Ember (Left Hand), Smith’s Hammer (Right Hand), Darksteel Helmet (Head), Darksteel Armor (Torso), Darksteel Gauntlets (Arms), Darksteel Greaves (Feet), Ring of Ceremony, Soot-Stained Rag, Throwing Daggers (x10), Black Powder Bombs (x3), Smith’s Tools
The Hunter
STR 15 VIT 14 AGL 13 INT 8 AWR 10 ATN 12
You come from a noble lineage of heroes and slayers of evil and you’re it’s latest proud descendant. And yet… no one you encounter seems to know you or your family. To make matters worse you cannot even recall the name of the evil your family was long forsworn to destroy. Surely whatever is causing these lapses of memory is the foul horror you’re meant to defeat… But would you even recognize the evil thing if you saw it? How can you slay a monster you don’t even know?
Starting Equipment: Death’s Head (Left Hand), Scourge/Returning Axe (Right Hand), Leather Circlet (Head), Leather Armor (Torso), Leather Bracers (Arms), Leather Boots (Legs), Silver Cross, Throwing Daggers (x10), Holy Waters (x7), Oak Stake (x1)
The Runner
STR 10 VIT 12 AGL 15 INT 10 AWR 14 ATN 8
Fleeing from the destruction of your world, you’ve been on the run from its destroyers for years, and you’ve become quite good at it, quite fast, agile, and athletic. Nothing slows you down, not even the scraps of food and materials you pick up from world to world. Nothing except your memories. The further you run, the less of your past you seem to remember. What happens when you forget why you’re running in the first place?
Starting Equipment: Rusted Revolver (Left Hand), Scavenger’s Spear (Right Hand), Taxan AR-3020 Visor (Head), Wanderer’s Garb (Torso), Battered Bracers (Arms), Jump Shoes (Legs), Standard Rounds (x20), Electro-Mag Shots (x9), Jump Tank (x1), Star Dust (x300)
Star Seeker
STR 12 VIT 12 AGL 12 INT 15 AWR 13 ATN 10
You bear the uniform of a federation of some sort, you were an explorer, of that you are sure, with a passion for discovery and a great thirst for knowledge. But you hadn’t worked alone… you can’t remember names or faces, but… you’re sure you were a member of a something much greater. A force that searched… the heavens? Searched for what? To what end? And what happened that separated you from them? It all feels so important… What’s out there among the stars? Answers?
Starting Equipment: Nothing (Left Hand), “Sword of Light” (Right Hand), Nothing (Head), Federation Uniform (Torso), “Hands of God” (Arms), Federation Boots (Legs), Insignia of Stars, Magnifying Glass, Apple Gummies (x3), Mint Gummy (x1), Smelling Salts (x1)
The Watcher
STR 8 VIT 8 AGL 14 INT 13 AWR 15 ATN 13
Your senses are finely tuned and you perceive the world around you differently from others. You know something is wrong. Something… maybe everything… is broken. And yet… there are threads… perhaps these could tie it back together? Naked and alone… you were never important in the life before… better to forget. Easier. All that matters is who you become now… now that you can see. Now that you can feel the tension, the slight tug on the string. Where are you being pulled to, and for what purpose?
Starting Equipment: Nothing (Left Hand), Discarded Knife (Right Hand), Plague Shroud (Head), Nothing (Torso), Nothing (Arms), Nothing (Legs), Broken Brass Timepiece, Silver Strand (x1)
Dream Master
STR 10 VIT 10 AGL 12 INT 13 AWR 13 ATN 15
With a ring of keys and a grasp of otherworldly magics, you awake in the middle of a busy, city street, crowded with cars that have all crashed or skidded to a stop. A semi-truck’s front end rests inches away from your face, its trailer turned on its side, but you can’t for the life of you recall how any of this happened or why you would be here. You only remember the woman in your dream and the Keys to Oblivion she had asked you to collect for her… Who was she? Are these the keys she wanted?
Starting Equipment: Nothing (Left Hand), Nothing (Right Hand), Nothing (Head), Pajamas (Torso), Nothing (Arms), Bunny Slippers (Legs), Cloak of Stars, Amulet of Lucidity, Key Ring, Keys of Passage (x3)
