This thread will eventually be a suggestion game that takes place in my You are the head of a hydra game.  However, at the current point, one more 'day' needs to pass in that thread before this one is able to start.  The reason?  The main character is going to be the scout that recently fought the hydra, and cut off 5 heads, but was wounded.

If you are wondering why I am creating this thread now, it is in order to write up turn 14 of the you are the head of a hydra thread, with what the players of this thread would want.  There are some things that are required due to the thread, but I tried to leave it as open as I could.  Notes are in [].

I think we need a bunch more rolls to work with- Can't make her an important figure in, or even specifically relate to the world without a lot more knowledge of it. Tried to write a vague outline, but couldn't avoid building assumptions- needs rolls on the other civs equal to what we have for the dwarves.

Name: Anoth-m (God-hand..)
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Primary Profession: Master Scout; Personal servant/bodyguard of a noble & (her!) family
Secondary Profession: Trainer/teacher
Bio: Parents are still around. Some brothers and sisters. Got her position due to her skill and pious nature. She was sent to a: deliver a message to the dwarves, looking for peace due to elven aggression or b: find information on her employer's son, who managed to slip into the last battle without permission. She's horrified to discover the hydra. In her younger days she was a dedicated student, having won a lottery for a charter school. Later on she took up training and after a time was hired for her general services to a family. Somewhat educated, but not much interaction with other civs. She's pretty gifted, on the border of being a prodigy, but her schooling is very much responsible for her current abilities.
Injuries: [Do not add anything or remove anything from here] Distinctive facial scar from a rival or injustice, bonus points if she's pretty
Many shallow bite-based wounds across abdomen.

Inventory:  [Add anything that would be reasonable.  Below has already been mentioned in thread, so cannot be removed.]
Leather Armor with 50% invisibility enchantment.
Father's Mother's Iron shortsword
Longbow (broken)
Rope reed fiber clothing
moderate amount of currency, well off
letter to dwarves/son

Roll for her appearance/age? (no older than 30 I vote)
Trying to keep her somewhat normal, since she might be able to die.

...I am obviously going to need to have this start be a distance away from where the events of you are the head of a hydra is taking place at.  I don't think the dwarves could conquer these people.

But yep, more rolls, elfies & gobbos too. Detailed bios of how you percieve the civs to be, like you had for the dwarves,

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mamgozugog is a influentual city-state in the 3rd Dwarven Empire, which has the technology of the late Iron Age (which I think is the area between Pax Romana-the End of the Roman Empire).  It is a militaristic state that has over 1/2 of its population in the military, with the other half supplying the military with food, weapons, armor, and other supplies.  It tamed the bears of its original location long ago, but was forced away from there durring the fall of the 2nd Dwarven Empire.  It settled in this area durring the chaos afterwards, and fought for its survival against the elves and the humans that had settled here at an earlier time.  It gained an extreme amount of wealth from raids durring that time, and through conquering and taxation durring the past years.  However, it has some major problems with theivery.  They have not taken care of this, due to its conquered enemies begining to rise up against their rule.  They know a large amount about hydras, due to being in conflict with them in their previous location.

would also be most appreciated. WORK, SLAVE! Please?
