Name: Goshizaki The Pilgrim
Race: Octopus-man
Gender: Male
Profession: Travelling Morris Dancer
Bio: Goshizaki is a professional Travelling Morris Dancer, travelling from village to village performing his mostly traditional folk dances and gathering tales and legends as he passes. And occasionally other things. After being kicked out of his local Morris Dancer Union for embracing some... less traditional dances, he ended up at this generic medieval town by following a fairly generic medieval road, earning his living by performing his most generic morris dances and saving the good ones for more interesting places.
Appearance: Goshizaki is a typical octopus-man; he has more limbs than most people and is quite squishy, in a squeezing through things and generally being quite flexible kind of way. Which is good for a pro Travelling Morris Dancer. He dresses in purple, has white hair and white stubble and a sad glint in his eye.
Health:100/100
Inventory: Old purple rags, Cup o' grog, Bag (=100=)

Name: Timothy Samuels
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Profession: Priest
Bio: An absolute firebrand, Tim is very vocal about punishing monsters, infidels and threats to humanity and God.  On some level, he knows that he can be too harsh, even to friends sometimes, but his high moral standards often drive him to the extreme in certain situations.  Very spartan, he dislikes riches ( like any good priest ) and politics ( somewhat less like some priests ) and prefers direct action to beating around the bush. 
Appearance: Shaggy red hair, large red beard, standard brown cloak.
Health:100/100
Inventory: Old rags, Cup o' grog, Bag,

Name: Moocow
Race: Minotaur
Gender: Male
Profession: Cleric
Bio: Moocow was a cleric of Baphomet, god of pretty much everything minotaurs care about, back at his isolated minotaur home. Then one day it occurred to him that his home was rather small, and that he'd really rather live in a grand gilded palace like in some of the stories of old. To that end, he inducted one of his helper acolytes into a full-fledged cleric to take over for him and traveled off to a human town to begin his quest, which is about as far as he's thought this through. Minotaurs are not known for their careful planning.
Appearance: A big shaggy cow-man.
Health:100/100
Inventory: Old rags, Cup o' grog, Bag (=100=)

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Name: Athra Leafgaurder
Race: Elf (edge of corruption)
Gender: Male
Profession: Crafts Elf
Bio: Working all his life as a crafts elf, he was unhappy. Not because he was a crafts elf, mind you, but, because he never did any crafting. Crafts elves are the equivalent of singing farmers. instead of taking chisel to stone, or knife to wood, they sing. They sing and sing to the trees until they grow into the shape they want. He hated that. He hated the song's of "THIIIIS" he had to spew out of his mouth. So. . .  one day, he sold all he had that was wood, and left with nothing but a bag and assortment of items. And the cash he had left over.
Appearance: Tall for an Elf, but leaner than the average one too. Has Hazel hair, and red eyes. He clicks his tongue when aggravated.
Health:100/100
Inventory: Old rags, Cup o' grog, Bag (=100=)

Bio: (do I have to?)
No, but it may help other players understand your character.

Oh yes, now that we have enough players, we may start! Writing prologue later.

It is time to leave, You tell yourself. The sense of ADVENTURE is too strong. But then, just as you are about to leave, you see some other people in the bar, people who look like they want to go on an ADVENTURE too.

The first person you see is by far the most distinguishable. He looks like... Like some sort of octopus. But you can see by his eyes that he is no ordinary octopus. He looks extremely flexible, however(+1 to agility rolls),but looks extremely squishy(-10 to defence rolls). You can tell that he has done some sort of dancing in his life (+1 to agility rolls)You feel sorry for him, however, because you know that merchants sell for a higher price to entertainers(+=10= to every purchase).

The second person you see looks normal enough, except for his shaggy red hair, and large red beard. You can tell, however, that he is a priest. You realise that people respond well to priests(+1 to team actions), and you know that priests are renowned for their mental abilities, but not for their physical ones(-10 to attack rolls).

The third person you can tell is a Minotaur as soon as you look at him. Minotaur's are renowned for their great strength(+10 to attack rolls), but are also known for how big and bulky they are(-1 agility). You can tell he is a cleric from the way he holds himself(1+ to communicating with gods), but that just means that people may react angrily if they do not like his religion(-1 to  interacting with other species).

The fourth person is also Minotaur, but has some rather recent burns, unlike the other one(+10 to attack, -1 to agility). You can tell by the burns that he was the apprentice of some sort pyromancer/blacksmith(+1 to crafting), but you know that blacksmiths are very proud of their work, and prefers to get their own weapons rather then buying/finding them(-1/10 to using other's creations).

The fifth person is obviously a Minotaur as well, but is distinguished by a big patch of grey on its hide(+10 to attack, -1 agility). You can tell that he is a lumberjack, and you know that lumberjacks usually live in the forests, and as such know how to live without relying on the city(+1 to hunting/gathering), but are also not used to relying on the city, and do not know how to haggle(+=10= to every purchase).

The sixth and last person is, no doubt, a halfling. Halflings, you know, are notorious for the ability to slip into crowds easily(+1 to stealth/hiding), but as such are disliked greatly(-1 to social rolls). You can see in his eyes that he used to be a promising actor(+1 to acting), but you know that actors, as they are entertainers, also get a greater cost from merchants(+=10= to every purchase).

You hurriedly slip outside, to start on your ADVENTURE...

Search for a shop, if we have money (pref: weapons, then armour). If not, search for a street corner where I can display some traditional morris dancing, and dance for cash, unless warned that it is not legal.
