    Well for Ooze Jumper I modeled him after Gollum in Lord of the Rings, the young Boba Fett of SW-Clone Wars, and my old PC Teabeeyea. I really wanted to go for the “creepy”, so I took “I’m not going to eat that”. My figure is an Lord of the Rings copy of Gollum I added his characteristic head to. As for the name, he follows in Teabeeyea’s foot steps in that Ooze Jumper isn’t his real name. True that is what in the certs…. but not his TRUE name in the paranoid about possession sense. Nelson actually named Ooze Jumper in his first adventure. Funny story there. At the Battle of Tannin Oozy unknowingly jumped into a fountain filled with necromantic ooze and went for a swim. Thus the nick name ooze jumper.

    Oh while I’m at it I might as well tell you about Teabeeyea’s real identity. His True Name was Ahronel. Which means Exalted of God to go hand in hand with his delusions of gradure. Mike Hebert was the GM in Ahronel’s first adventure. But I created the PC on the fly, and it was half way through the first encounter before I had a name. Mike couldn’t pronounce it. So he kept calling me TBA. I ran with it.

    Alright, I’ll play.

    Vaize.
    A Kelekene Monk killed at the Fall of Arkhosia, Vaize spent most her early life wandering Onara hating humans and Val (and occasionally rescuing them). This continued until the Battle of Grand Coryan brought her the realization of her most bleak, spiteful demand: to taste the blood and tears of a Valinor in repayment for her own perceived disgrace.
    Well, it happened.
    Vaize recanted, genuflected before the Lifewarden Anaphylaxia, and the two of them spent the next decades slowly remolding Vaize out of her life of bitter rage into a proper servant of Belisarda.
    With Anaphylaxia sitting this round of carnage and terror out to recover from the last one, her disciple took up the banner of the Laerestri once again and hit the road to the 5th Crusade.
    The rest is history.
    Anaphylaxia was notably a proponent of the Lifewarden’s code and strove to be an exemplar of Belisarda as the Mother of Life (“remember: Belisarda loves you”). Vaize, being a very different kind of soul, walks the in the way of War, emulating Belisarda’s facet of revenge, the humbling of the mighty and the wrath of a Mother avenging her children.

    Vaize was originally modeled after the character “Vice” from the King of Fighters series, of all things. She was a grappling specialist with Bone Breaker, and perhaps the most noteworthy thing she did in L.A. was be awarded an invitation to the Knights of St. Armond when she spent her entire stake paying for the Raise Dead of a member of theirs killed in a duel by a Coryani agitator. That act of charity (for a Dark Kin, not a human -no cognitive dissonance in Vaize’s mind) made her an honorary member of the otherwise Milandese-only knighthood.
    She took it because she didn’t believe they had the courage of conviction to honor it, but they did to her amazement, and she has maintained ties since.

    D’serrat Val’Mordane is the eldest daughter of a now-deceased family of Cancerese weaponsmiths who fled into Milandir to settle in Nevanne. Though mistrusted because of their family name, they adopted the proper Milandesian attitude: they went to work and persisted until their presence was as utterly unremarkable as their plain but durable weapons.
    D’serrat herself was raised with a clear goal in mind: to be squired to a Knight, to win her own title, and to elevate her family’s fortunes out of the lot of the commoner. A small fortune was spent wooing various knights until a Dirkeld Val’Holryn consented, and D’serrat followed him as his squire along on his pilgrimage.
    To the Fourth Crusade of Light.
    Now in her late 40’s, hard-eyed and grim, half her face muddled by monstrous burns, D’serrat Val’Mordane is half-sand, half-scars, and all possessed of a will to fight the Infernal Hordes to death and beyond if possible.
    Having never married she has become entirely a creature of the Crusades. When the 4th Crusade withdrew, she stayed. When the first surveyors began plotting the layout of Mil Takara she rode in their vanguard. When the keystones of the Mil Takaran Keep were being laid she was standing guard, and she was one of the first of Count Felix’s Irregulars; She pledged her oath of victory or death before him. Dirkeld had been slain on the field late in the 4th Crusade, along with his armor she took his oaths and his honor as her own.

    With Ubraxicit dead D’serrat Val’Mordane is a Crusader without a Crusade. Never believing she would survive the Second Battle of Hope’s End D’serrat is now freed from her oaths, legally separated from Count Felix’s command, and even won the title “Dame” as a newly forged Knight Errant!
    Things are looking up, and though somewhat dazed by her success she has traveled south reacquainting herself with the politics of the world outside of the Hinterlands. She now bears a skull emblem half-mask in the fashion of a Hurrianite (but as a tribute to Neroth) to conceal her scars, and however else the Gods may see fit to test her mettle with she knows that as long as she never has to pick sand out of her everything ever again, she’ll be grateful!

    D’serrat is a rough duplicate of a Living Spycraft character I played for years -dedicated and relentless, but chivalrous and compassionate as well. That Agent was similarly afflicted to be an eternal bachelorette, and though entirely resilient in their pursuits (Counter-Terrorism and Infernal Hunting) both would really, really love to be swept of their feet by a person of their dreams and out of the grind of travel, waiting, violence and injury recovery.
