## Characters

### Carbon Sox

(2019)

A changeling of the Wizard class. Carbon was once held captive in an underground prison to test his latent powers, which turned his skin to slime. The torturous nature of his captor's tests caused him to erupt with rage, unleashing magic that annihilated everything around him. He would adopt a new identity after fleeing the prison, joining a band of adventurers on a journey across faraway lands. Carbon's journey ended when he and his party encountered witches in a windmill, who swiftly put the adventurers to rest.

### Cressidus Equillekrew

(2019-2020)

An aasimar of the Bard class. He hailed from Irian, the Plane of Eternal Day, of which he was to be crowned its ruler. However, he fled to the Material Plane upon learning of his father's plans to militarize the nation. While on the Material Plane, he befriended a handful of eccentric people, who set out on a journey to prevent the world's core from collapsing. The party went on several journeys though the realms of Eberron, even returning to Irian at one point to confront Cressidus's father. On that particular adventure, Cressidus was forced to kill his father in battle, causing him to feel immense guilt and retreat to the Astral Plane. In the end, he came to his senses and ventured to the world's core with the party, where they killed a creature that would have spelled doom for Eberron.

### Cain Torigoth

(2020-2022)

A tiefling of the Artificer class. Cain was a 40-year-old loner living in the gritty streets of San Francisco. He made a living off of selling drugs to corporate entities, though this backfired following a small misunderstanding with his customers. He was also accompanied by a robotic dog named Abel and a homunculus mouse named Rock. After breaking out of prison with a handful of other inmates, they explored California to unravel its dark conspiracies, even winding up in a Shadowfell counterpart of San Francisco. Their journey ended by confronting a cyborg Steve Jobs, the late CEO of Apple, who planned on covertly taking over the world using a cybernetic hivemind.

### Cointreau Chard

(2022)

A dhampir of the Cleric class. Once a high priest at a church bordering Barovia, Cointreau's goal was to spread the word of Bhaal, whose second coming was guaranteed with enough sacrifice. As loyal as Cointreau was to Bhaal, a part of him hated the idea of sacrificing living things, especially humanoids. To remedy this disgust, Cointreau and his congregation offered small woodland animals and insects in place of humanoids, though to Bhaal, this was insulting. As punishment for Cointreau's incompetence, Bhaal cursed his body and turned him into a dhampir. More panicked than ever to please his deity, Cointreau set out to find Strahd von Zarovich, whom he believed could make things right again. Unfortunately, Cointreau died under mysterious circumstances and could not redeem himself.

### Krov "Crow" Khudozhnyk

(2022, hiatus)

A bugbear of the Barbarian class. Crow came from an impoverished tribe facing erasure, until he encountered a passerby merchant who, from a blood reading, said the bugbears could thrive if Crow found an unknown artifact. This artifact would allow the tribe to collectively ascend to a heavenly realm, where they no longer had to fight for their survival. However, the merchant said that in order to find the artifact, the lives of at least five hundred people had to be taken. Following the merchant's guidance, Crow left the tribe in search of small communities, pillaging them of their goods and killing everyone in sight.

### Casparas

(2023, unfinished campaign)

A firbolg of the Wizard class, and the Heavenly Virtue of Sloth. He went to Benthos once with the six other Virtues, but got bored out of his mind fighting demons that dodged his every move.

### Kinsei-no-Bunchou

(2023, unfinished campaign)

A half-elf of the Monk class. Many years ago, Kinsei was banished to the underground hell of Benthos. He returned to the surface world by sacrificing all of his memories and having a thorn planted in his head. This thorn soon became a wing, symbolizing Kinsei's escape from Benthos as he wandered the surface world an amnesiac.

### Kylin Torigoth

(2023, hiatus)

The father of Cain Torigoth, and a tiefling of the Druid class. During the early 70s, he worked alongside a journalist troupe who specialized in propagating conspiracy theories across the southwestern United States. While his companions did the dirty work, Kylin killed time by doing and smuggling drugs, and hooking up in cruising spots around rural Nevada and SoCal.
