Character Creation Chain

Manourian Becheladze was a virologist who spent his entire like working for the American government. At the age of 84, when he was no longer considered "an asset", the government forced him to sign an agreement of non-disclosure, and then they sacked him. He dedicated his remaining life -- all six years of it -- trying to bring down those he worked so hard for, whilst also battle his impending doom: His wife threatened to kill him since he was not the breadwinner of the relationship anymore. She even hired an assassin to do the job. Six years later his wife got her wish and was the proud owner of his life possessions -- only to find they were his beloved collection of bottled germs and viruses.

Chippety Chip of Chipville
 
Lacewing Buttercup is a sweet girl. She wears flowers in her hair and skips along the country lane to visit her sick grandpa, Mr Wolf. She has the deepest affection for all plants and animals, and when she isn't visiting her ill grandpa, who's always telling her she needs to "fatten up", she spends her summers out in the fields petting the horses. Lately, however, she's begun to notice her grandpa looking at her very oddly, and he would drool out of the corners of his mouth. When she asked, "Are you okay, grandpappy? Have you got mad cow disease from Farmer Bill's cows?", he merely told her not to worry. But as she'd gotten older, she had started to worry; how many other men had a tail, a snout, sharp teeth, paws, and carried a knife and fork with them always? Then again, she'd often thought, perhaps she just worries too much. Grandpappy certainly looked eager to see her -- and to see her "fatten up".



Barmy Berty Botswold of Bottlingham
 
Barmy Berty Botswold of Bottlingham

Every town has a resident eccentric, and Bottlingham is no exception. Except that Berty isn't really eccentric. Bottlingham boasts a plethora of eccentric characters, including a man who collects jars of air, a woman who sings to her lawn and a man who believes that he can walk up the side of buildings, but Berty is as normal as they come, and the residents call him the mad one for his normalcy.

Marcus Strange
 
Marcus Strange

Must always correct people for pronouncing his name strange when it is strawnge. He was teased as a boy for the spelling of his last name. Bullied and picked on by his classmates he was ready to exact his revenge by building a machine that would enslave the minds of todays youth, (through the help of the television of course.) He began this venture with the help of his friend Arthur Oddity.
 
Arthur Oddity barely tolerated Marcus Strange. He humoured the little boy and had him believe that he was helping him in his "dastardly" plan to enslave the minds of today's youth. But really Arthur had his own far grander plan. At the age of eight he had constructed a portal to heaven and now he intended to usurp God from his throne. Marcus Strange didn't know it, but he had a crucial part in Arthur's plan...

Katrina Watson
 
Katrina Watson

Brought up in a small town, Katrina sought freedom from the narrow minded people that populated her little corner of the world. They all believed that things should stay the same - that change was anathema - and this stifled her to the point that she left when she was young. Given the choice of following her predecessors into the family business or running away to do as she pleased, she chose to run, and she didn't even hesitate in choosing.

Tiny
 
A the smallest of his litter, it was almost inevitable that Tiny would be called Tiny. Dwarfed by his seven brothers and thirteen sisters, Tiny stands only a smidgen over thirty yards at the shoulders. If he widens his jaws to their absolute limit, he can just squeeze a full mammoth in there, but he gets a dreadful ache afterwards. Besides, his siblings only laugh to see him with such a mouthful, chewing and chewing and chewing, when with only one or two bites they'd have it down.

Halfiron
 
Halifron was the first generation inter-planetary starship computer. The problem was that Halifron took up so much space that there wasn't much left for the crew. Halifron also had ideas of grandeur and a glitch in his boards sent him mad and resulted in the death of the crew. Work continued on a second generation computer that culminated in a much smaller, stabler system. As the core of the system for this second generation computer was similar to Halifron, its name was derived from its predecessor and it became known as HAL. At least it won't go nuts...

Chan Hochoi
 
Chan Hochoi helped to install HAL and after a hard days work retired to the local pub for a quiet drink with his friends. Chan was secretly in love (or was it lust) with the owner of the pub, a tall attractive blonde woman named Laurel. But having been spurned in love previously was unprepared to admit his feelings to her. However he was about to meet someone who could change all that.

Felicity Mountbatten-Smythe
 
Corbin Kings

Reknowned as the most accomplished aeronaut in Uncadia. Kings led the Council's Aeronautical Corps in the legendary Battle of Stormsway where a vastly outnumbered cadre of CAC's fought off an entire garrison of Lerenhawk aerostats.

Despite taking horrific casualties, the surviving CAC's limped home to a hero's welcome at Uncoff Haven. Corbin himself was attributed with no less than two dozen confirmed kills.

Five days later, Kings' ship 'Lyrebird' was mysteriously shot down by a lone Lerenhawk scout. Kings' body was recovered and interred at Erone's Field. There was no ceremony as the Council feared that it might lower morale, thus damaging the war effort.

Errinol Greystone
 
Errinol Greystone

People speak of a rather tragic tale when they speak of Errinol Greystone. Shunned by his family, a noble and haughty lineage (that was obsessed with "keeping the bloodline pure"), for falling in love with the daughter of a baker, Errinol chose to flee with her. That wasn't the end of his woes, though. Errinol eventually discovered that his lover had been unfaithful, and had tried to kill him to get his family's wealth. He left her and set out alone, vowing never to trust another person again.

Firiel Key
 
Firiel Key was an agitator. In an age when 'human rights' hadn't even been conceived she was trying to improve the lot of the poor man. She had access to one of very few printing presses and she had spent a whole year outside normal working hours printing off her posters. She had a room full of them and each night she took to the streets and nailed them to doors and posts. Each day the city watch tore them down, but each night she was out again, dodging the patrols and getting the posters up. She vowed she would keep it up until someone took notice.

Egbert Thrumplewaite the Third
 
Egbert Thrumplewaite the Third

This was the final instruction given to Egbert by his father, Hambert, as the latter slipped inexorably into the Abyss of Sullen Martyrs, never to be seen again. Egbert never carried out the instruction as he never could work out what it meant. He knew how to wait, he knew what a weight was, but the verb thrumplewaite was a new one on him. Nevertheless, he manfully examined a third of everything he encountered from that day forward in hope of discovering some clue as to how its waite might be thrumpled.
