More character background info

So I've received a bit more character background information from two players, along with some fun character art. Again, if players want to share more about their characters they should send me an e-mail and I'll post the info (you can view the first set here, as well as the full current breakdown on who is playing what here).

From Chris:

Chris is playing a rogue with a penchant for the ladies, and sent me this descriptor:

"Son of a longshoreman, Jax Sandstrom has always been a bit of wharf rat.  Forbidden to go to sea by his father, he knows most of the dockside workings of the maritime trades.  Jax has always shown some aptitude at whatever he has tried, but has led a fairly unambitious life thus far.  He is generally happy and easy going.  Since discovering the joys of the company of women, finding and enjoying such companionship has been his sole driving goal."

From Shannon: 

Shannon is playing an aquatic dwarven druid named Sadie, and sent me the following information:

"Sadie's parents fled their home because her grandfather disapproved of her father. (He is beardless dwarf due to a tragic accident with a scroll of fireball. And of course no dwarf would let his daughter marry a beardless dwarf.) Sadie was born at sea while they were escaping. They moved inland to be harder to track. [I haven't decided how much she knows about this.]

She grew up as a bit of an odd dwarf with her love of water and open expanses, she was living relatively happily with her folks in a mostly human settlement. Her parents died during an ambush by a giant-led orc squad somewhat recently which leads her to finally following the call of the sea. She ends up on Port Peril in hope of finding some place that feels like home.

She is good at talking her way out of trouble and loves to mislead people. [Which hopefully I won't totally botch while role playing.] She thinks she is following her own path, but Besmara probably has a hand in her destiny."

From Dan (and Kevin):

Also, Dan did another great illustration of his character and Kevin's character and I couldn't skip sharing it!

Sometimes Gilbert needs to leave town in a hurry

The streets of Port Peril are rough, and knowing the right spot where a sewerboat is waiting to scoot one out of town for a day or two (until certain ships leave port) is an essential skill.
