Skyler Johnston

Traits: Music Lover, Creative, Outgoing

Background: Skylar was a wandering minstrel. Due to circumstances beyond his control (something about offending somebody rich and powerful), he was traveling near Windenburg during the winter when he suffered an accident. The Beast (or his servants) found him and nursed him back to health. Once he recovered, he decided (or was encouraged) to stay for awhile…

Xaine Exipelh (The Beast)

Traits: Hot-headed, Loves outdoors, Vegetarian

Aspiration: Freelance Botanist

Skills: Gardening 7, Herbalism 5, Rocket Science 2

Background: Xaine was a crew member on a scout ship which crashed near Windenburg. The only survivor, Xaine tried to seek help from the nearby village. The superstitious villagers, fearing him to be a demon due to his alien appearance and unfamiliar language, chased him out. Xaine found shelter in a nearby ruin. He used his meager engineering abilities (he is a xenobotanist) to rig an illusion to deter the locals from entering the ruin. He found an injured human and nursed him back to health. Lacking anywhere else to go, the human agreed to stay and act as a liaison, eventually hiring other misfits to take care of more mundane chores while Xaine worked in his greenhouse creating hybrids and developing herbal medicines to sell to the locals…
