The Colonel

Colonel Reginald P. Livingstone is a human ranger and a main member of The Door Kickers party who was first introduced in *The Island*

## Appearance

The Colonel is a medium to short human male, he often wears khaki pants with many pockets and a beige buttoned shirt with many pockets reinforced with leather to act as armor. He wears a pith cap that is very well worn and the faint outline of a colonel rank insignia can be seen on the front.

## Personality

The colonel is noticeably insane, after being left in a dungeon for what is assumed to be a year he does not remember much of his previous life other than a general sense of "the war" and hunting for "the beast", occasionally he will remember snippets of information from his life but the accuracy of these statements is questionable at best. Often he will pretend to know more than he really does, referring to "seagull mammoths" and more, but the accuracy of these statements too is questionable. He is also a very blunt person, often not recognizing the emotions of others and regards death as natural and common, living in the same room as two corpses for a year is the probable cause for this. Recently he has begun noticing the gaps and contradictions in his memory and he has realized his own insanity.

## Backstory

Not much is known about the Colonel's backstory, the only concrete facts are that he was a colonel in an army and fought in a war. Afterwards he set out on a hunt for "the beast" which lead him to the Island where he spent approximately one year trapped in a dungeon after his comrades Johan and Francis died. He has mentioned in the war he witnessed the "flying goblins" and that while hunting he slayed many beasts, however much of this information is not proven.

### Early Life

Nothing is known of the Colonel's childhood

## The Campaign

The Colonel was found by The Door Kickers in a small room with two corpses, he had apparently been there for a year surviving off of rats and playing 52 card pickup by himself. He joined the party as the exited the dungeon and helped them fight the skeletons that guarded the shadow orb. After this The Colonel joined the party in sailing off of the island. Upon reaching the next island he became convinced "the beast" lived in the jungle after hearing locals tell tales of the dangers it held. He convinced the party to escort a researcher to the tower in the center of the island in the hopes of finding "the beast" along the way. After trekking through the jungle the party reached the tower in the center, only to find out that the researcher that had given them the quest was in actuality, the so called Shrike that had once terrorized the island. Upon learning this the party fled from the Shrike, yet they tracked it through the forest as it rushed to destroy the town of Cristallo. While tracking the Shrike they came across fellow Door Kicker Cordithos about to be executed by the grung. The Colonel threatened the grung to release him, and when they did not he opened a bag of mandrake and fell unconscious, along with everyone else. When he awoke the party spoke to the moonstone dragon of the island and were flown back to Cristallo to defeat the Shrike before it destroyed the town. After a many skirmishes the Colonel sacrificed himself to kill the Shrike, blowing up himself and the Shrike with his gunpowder reserves. However, after mysteriously resurrecting and delivering the final stab on the Shrike, the Colonel survived yet lost his left arm and leg. The party then joined the pirate Capitan Drangleic's crew and set out to sea.
