Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The Order of the Scribble

Shojo: Their final adventures together led them to seal all five of the rifts, trapping the Snarl once again in its timeless prison.

The adventuring precursors to the Order of the Stick. Responsible for sealing the Rifts and creating the Gates.

Soon Kim

"Only the honor of a paladin is unbreakable -- even by death itself."

Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class: Paladin
Alignment: Lawful Good

Paladin and founder of the Sapphire Guard. The first to encounter the Rifts. His wife Mijung was killed by the Snarl, which is his motivation for sealing them. Guarded the Gate in Azure City with the Sapphire Guard.

Dorukan

"You have not earned your magic, it came to you in your blood."

Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class: Wizard
Alignment: Unknown (probably Lawful Good)

Powerful human wizard, helped to build the gates. Guarded the Gate in the Redmountain Hills with a huge dungeon and powerful magical wards. Xykon defeated him in a mages' duel and took over his dungeon.


Lirian

"Perhaps you will begin to appreciate how interconnected everything is during your long stay... though I doubt it."

Race: Elf
Gender: Female
Class: Druid
Alignment: Neutral Good

Powerful elf druid, met Soon shortly after his wife was killed. Helped Dorukan to build the gates. Guarded the Gate in the Elven Lands with nature's might and a magic-destroying virus.


Girard Draketooth

"I've never trusted authority figures, be they kings, presidents, or party leaders. Give a man enough power, and he's bound to abuse it, no matter how noble he thinks he is."

Race: Dragonblood Human
Gender: Male
Class: Ranger/Wizard (illusionist)
Alignment: Chaotic Good (probably)

Ranger/illusionist of the party. Guards the gate in the middle of the desert on the Western Continent with powerful illusions, and lying about its location.

  • Badass Beard: Goatee variant.
  • The Clan: Due to sheer paranoia, Girard doesn't trust anyone outside of his family and Serini with defense of the gate. And the Draketooths' definition of family doesn't even count inlaws, as Penelope would contest.
  • Chaotic Cannot Comprehend Lawful: One of his problems with Soon.
  • Dual-Wielding: He favors two scimitars.
  • Facial Markings: Has a purple dragon tattooed on the cheek.
  • Family Business: Outsiders, including spouses, need not apply.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Descendant of union between a black dragon and a human. Said black dragon is part of a certain family tree....
  • Ineffectual Loner: Taught his clan not to trust outsiders, especially paladins. Though they were able to hide the gate effectively for a time, their distrust of inlaws nearly lead the Linear Guild right to them. And even worse, their distrust of lawful characters is so strong that they would rather remain dead than accept help from a Lawful Good cleric, even one that doesn't subscribe to the same gods as the guy Girard's pissed off at.
  • The Lancer
  • Master of Illusion
  • Meaningful Name: Descendant of a black dragon.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Girard's hatred of Soon Kim and his paranoia that Kim would break his word to "check in" on the gates led Girard to give a completely random set of coordinates for his gate instead of the real ones. Unfortunately, since finding the gates has become a matter of life-and-death, this has made the good guys' job much, much harder, since they have to comb the largest desert in the world -- all the while dealing with the illusions, distractions and traps that Draketooth set up to obscure it, just making things easier -- to find it, a process that could take months or years. And to make matters worse, the only other person he told the true coordinates to was Serini, whose diary is in the possession of Xykon and his allies. So essentially, the bad guys have the coordinates for the gate and could easily reach it within seconds while the heroes were still looking. Nice going, Draketooth.
  • Not So Different: His complaints about Soon doing questionable deeds for the greater good notwithstanding, the Draketooth clan itself is quite willing to do the same. Such as by seducing random strangers, abducting the resulting children, and stealing a "dowry" from their coffers.
  • Posthumous Character: He's been dead for at least twenty years.
  • You Should Have Died Instead: He has a lot of bitter feelings against Soon about Kraagor's death.


Serini Toormuck

"Hey, whoever kills the least goblins has to buy drinks tonight!"

Race: Halfling
Gender: Female
Class: Rogue
Alignment: Unknown (probably Lawful Good as she was considering multiclassing into Paladin)

Halfling rogue of the party. Proposed the pact of noninterference. Created a dungeon with powerful creatures guarding Kraagor's Gate near the Dwarven lands, yet opted to continue a life of adventuring. Her diary has provided Xykon with the co-ordinates of all the gates.


Kraagor

"Raging makes Kraagor a thirsty boy."

Race: Dwarf
Gender: Male
Class: Barbarian
Alignment: Unknown (as a barbarian, non-lawful, probably Chaotic Neutral)

Dwarf barbarian of the party. Killed when sealing the last rift.
