Rusteen
[Rogue 11/Ranger 1, played by Robb Pratt]
After a year or two on the planes, this "woodsman" (a.k.a. thug) has adapted very well.
If you consider being pursued by the Harmonium across several planes as doing very well. Due to his failure to
recover a stolen holy avenger, Rusteen is forced to stay away from his bar in Sigil and keep hopping the planes.
Although this Fated namer doesn't really care about the Harmonium's pursuit, he does lament the fact that it causes
him to be unable to return home and visit his younger siblings. And recently, it seems he's finally done something
about the little problem he has with being in the dark.

Shazarr Moon Blade
[Rogue 3/Sorcerer 3/Medusa 6, played by Neil Clennan]
Although a declared factotum of the Athar, this supposed art dealer seems to be doing a good job of embodying the
tenets of the Godsmen. Over the course of his adventures with the party, he has undertaken a mystic ritual to cleanse
the non-medusa blood from his body and is in the process of becoming a full medusa. Despite being scaly and having
snakes for hair, Shazarr is still managing to maintain his role as chief negotiator and con artist. Having abandoned
his quest for art once the party's dealings with the Sensates ended, this charismatic negotiator now spends his time
making sure the party gets properly compensated for their adventures as well as continuing to poke holes in the deeds
of the gods.

Jack van Burace
[Battle Sorcerer 9/Exalted Arcanist 3, played by Josh Rintamaki]
Jack is one of the few fully-functioning holy hypocrites on the planes. Originally a small-time gambler and gigolo
from Rusteen's home world, this half-elf is still a small-time gambler and gigolo - but now he's got a full range of
destructive and holy power at his fingertips. Jack is a dedicated evangelist for Good, and seeks to ingriate himself
with any number of Upper Planar creatures - regardless of the fact that his definition of Good doesn't match too many
of theirs. Of course, as a factotum of the Fated, he's not content to merely wait for good things to come to him;
he's planning to be able to manipulate Fate as well as he can manipulate cards.

Buttercup
[Barbarian 12, played by Sarah Rintamaki]
This nordic amazon somehow manages to be two opposing things at once - a tall, strong, and scary raging berserker, yet
still a pretty and rather feminine woman. It might have something to do with the fact that her heavily spiked full
plate armor is hot pink. Buttercup belongs to the Ciphers, and uses her finely honed instincts to remove all traces
of Evil from the planes. This dedication to Good is what drew her to Jack, and thus the rest of the party. (Well,
that and the fact she worked as a bouncer in Jack's favorite strip club.) Since joining the party, she's added the
task of convincing Jack that she's the only woman for him and they're meant to be together for the rest of time to
her personal quests. (Jack's in trouble as he recognizes the danger in telling a six-foot tall woman in spiked full
plate armor that she might be wrong.)

Ozriel (Oz)
[Wizard x/Incantarix y, played by Ron Hay]
Oz is an archon that has fallen hard and fast - and is considering digging once he hits bottom. Although personally
no more pure than an aasimar, Oz maintains a firm understanding of the underpinnings of magic and uses that knowledge
to great effect to support the party as a spellcaster. Recognizing a wizard's weakness is his spellbook, this planar
has gone to the effort of tattooing every spell he knows on his body. It keeps his spells safe, and is useful as a
pick-up line when dealing with female arcanists ("Hey, baby. Want to swap spells?") Although his magic is useful, his
personal hygene, personality, and bad attitude tends to make the party reconsider his presence every other day or so.

Twig
[Monk x/ Cleric y/Divine Fist z, played by Linda Hudson]
As befits a dedicated Signer, Twig has turned her love of hedonistic fun into a religion - literally. All of her
drinking and carousing only serves to fuel her faith that the multiverse is only as fun as she believes it to be,
and this has granted her divine spellcasting power. (Which is fortunate, as Shazarr is able to accept her ministrations
and thus stay alive.) Although this wood genasi is nearly as chaotic as a Xaositect, Twig does have a small thread
of decency running through her actions - mainly because evil acts tend to spoil her fun and mess up her multiverse.

Augustus
A human approaching late middle-age; walks with a pronounced limp. This Sensate is the party's sponsor. He is
building his own private Sensorium, and he wishes to gather experiences that are tailored to his exact tastes.
Additionally, he believes that his library will be the best, since he plans on recording the sensations as they
happen, thereby ensuring a true first-hand feeling. Augustus' first assigment is actually a test of the party's
abilities: how well they follow explicit instructions; how well they can make their own instructions; and how well they
experience emotion in the first place.

Nymphia
This voluptuous wood elf occasionally accompanies the party. Or, more accurately, she shows up from time to time to
willingly submit to Rusteen's wood elf fetish. On first glance, she appears to be nothing more than a bubble-headed
sex bunny. However, Nymphia has shown a rather disturbing depth of character (more or less). She has a self-proclaimed
love of the hunt, and is quite brutal about it; she's been known to kill animals with her hands and teeth. In a recent
altercation, Nymphia showed that rather than being a vicious ranger, she is instead a hard-hitting, violence-loving
berserker. Needless to say, there's no way Rusteen is letting her get away.

Terrazin (Zin)
[Psion 7/Psionic Oracle 5, played by Rick Coen]
Terrazin is the poster child for both the githerzai race and those possessed of clairivoyant powers. This psion
is a strong champion of traditional gith values and firmly believes that his prophetic visions are always right.
Because he is so certain that his vision will provide for everything he needs, Zin has taken upon himself a very
powerful Vow of Poverty, which further helps to fuel his powers as well as make him stronger and more capable than
he looks. However, the fact that he's not supposed to be out walking the planes and should instead be "protected"
inside a monastery somewhere in deepest Limbo does help keep him humble and enforces keeping a low profile.

Dr. Fever
[Played by Ron Hay]
Dr. Fever is a former modron quadrone (designation 31337-5R) that has gone rogue and gained self-awareness
(and a quite nice fu-manchu beard on each of his four faces). Not quite two years old, the character now seeks to
understand exactly what it means to be an individual and just what 'life' is. To that end, 5R has decided to become a
"doctor" (i.e. cleric) in order to better study all of the other beings he now finds himself surrounded by. Dr. Fever
is highly inquisitive and tends to ask a large number of questions of those he encounters. (Some would say an
obsessively large number.) As part of his quest to understand what it means to exist, the rogue modron has joined the
Believers of the Source. As a Godsman (Godsmodron, as he prefers), Dr. Fever eagerly antcipates
finding and passing his particular tests in life, in order that he might ascend to a new form in the next. (One can only
hope that his new form isn't quite as clumsy as the current one.)

Greymankle
[Played by Joe Convery]
One of the planetouched, Greymankle is proud of his elemental heritage. In fact, this earth genasi is looking to
become even more of an elemental than he already is - which might be a difficult task. His skin is very much a flesh
of granite, and it would seem that liquid metal flows in his veins. Despite the apparent perfection already present
in his body, this monk strives to hone his body and its abilities even more. Although he joined the group as a hired
bodyguard for Shazarr, Greymankle now accompanies the others willingly - seeing Augustus' missions as a way to perfect
himself and achieve union with the Elemental Plane of Earth.

Pandalos Que (Que)
[Played by Alan Wasserman]
Que, as he prefers to be addressed, is a very self-composed gnome. This wizard has the outlook and style of a martial
artist, which is fitting since he is a very dedicated member of the Transcendent Order. Que has dedicated his life to
the pursuit of Perfection, which this Cipher believes lies in shards scattered across the multiverse. If he can find and
experience each shard (such as the Perfect Pain or the Perfect Peace), he comes that much closer to becoming one with
the multiverse. Naturally, he believes in acting - even doing the wrong thing is preferable to doing nothing.

Ginaea
[Played by Valerie Pratt]
Ginaea is a female githzerai that is most likely one of a kind. Unlike the rest of her race, she is friendly, outgoing,
and likes to dress in as many bright colors as she can find (and wear all at the same time). The character has proven
to be a skilled Psion, specializing in the discipline of Pschyokinesis. Ginaea appears to have the 'inside track', as it
were, regarding Augustus' project as she is also a member of the Society of Sensation. However, this particular Sensate
has a particular interest in experiencing as many things as possible - it seems she has no memories older than two years
ago. Ginaea is very eager to try and discover exactly who she is. (Of course, one must wonder that even if she does
find out will she remember doing so? It seems Ginaea has some issues with her short term memory as well as her long
term one.)
