This time, its Personal! No, wait, just another tryptich of pregen DnD character portraits. This time a bit more Tessiel related.
Left to Right:
Nau Sectis, Acolyte of the Twelve (Jackal Cleric) - Praying for the guideance of the Twelve. Signs and omens his higher ups in Glowmed have been receiving have been ... troubling. They opted to hide the readings from the leity and even their own clergy beneath the rank of bishop, only ... Nau Sectis overheard everything.
A troubled youth, Nau turned to religion to find solace, purpose, and the glimmering hints of divine power that could better life for all within Tessiel. He dislikes keeping secrets, but even more, he distrusts his own superiors for keeping such important portents from those that that keep their trust. It hasn't tested his faith, yet, but it has led him to rely solely upon the callings of his personal faith, the trust of his friends, and the spiritual guidance of his own heart.
Chaykirch, Mercenary (Blue Jay Fighter) - As a young volunteer within the gladiatorial arenas of Hilvex, Chaykirch, and everyone who bet against the 'hollow boned birdbrain', discovered he was a natural at physical combat. He took his winnings, then fled before a mob of irate bookies, betters, and pit lords decided to end his career before it really got off the ground.
Full of sass, impertinance, lust, and a horrible sensation junkie, Chaykirch nonetheless secretly keeps, and constantly adjusts, his own personal code of honor. Though hard to make friends with, once accomplished, Chaykirch is loyal for life, and viciously protective of those he cares for. He personally dreams of returning one day to Hilvex, insanely rich, leading an army of skilled and loyal followers, and overthrowing the Senate, ousting President, and declaring himself Caeser of Hilvex. Delusions of grandeur notwithstanding, he considers this particular fantasy merely a 'good start'.
Sela, aka Dusk, aka, Brithtess, aka Moness (Rat Rogue) - Born in Karakhul, a city full of felines, Sela has a constantly spinning moral compas, with the only consistant indicator being 'don't harm children'. Everything else shifts constantly day to day, whim to whim as she struggles with enough multiple personalities to fill out a full game of bridge.
Being beneath the law, working as a prostitute, a thief, gambler and assassin, these are as often as not, passed off merely as aliases when convenient, and part of her allure as a 'go to girl' for shadier jobs. Indeed, it all started as just that - aliases for hiding in plain sight, but as time wore on, each developed its own history, preferences, belief structures, although as yet, none are at odds with each other, and she's clever enough to hide whichever one is 'in charge' from those that work around her, not being a woman of unnecessary words.
Recently Sela has been looking to leave Kharakul on the auspices of escaping such a high population of feline races that all look down on her kind, though a quest for outside fortune, as well as the original, Sela's, attempts to reign in her alternate personalities, have also been leveraged against staying in the old familiar haunts.

Just a peek into the non-insectile lives of Tessiel, from the perspective of a few disparate city dwellers.
Adventuring gear/garb is indicative of 1st through 5th level again.

*grins* Thankies - I know they're tiny, but they're a blast to do. And messing up the first few dozen times on form, shapes, etc, isn't like a major disaster either - These are the first things I've felt happy with doing entirely digitally via tablet. Hoping that I can start magnifying outwards, gradually working bigger and bigger scale without the semi 'handicapped' feeling I normally get from tablet vs. pencil + paper.
