  •   personality   cunning, resourceful, and a great problem solver, hanorae is a thrill-seeker with a penchant for crime- in the name of the dragon queen, of course. beneath the religious fanatic surface, they are a vulnerable person who loves to help others, yearns for genuine human connections and wishes to feel like they’re part of something greater. this is what led them to the tiamat cult, and it’s what ultimately makes them turn to bahamut.

 CHILD OF CHAOS   hanorae was born and raised in the vyrasaadi clan, which worshipped bahamut. searching for a purpose in their life they had yet to find, they were led astray at a young age by tiamat cultist doctrine. they subsequently left home to live in a temple of tiamat with other followers, training to become a cleric at the service of the dragon queen. being now a fervent worshipper, hanorae aimed to rise to the top ranks of the clergy and make their goddess proud- but when they were on the verge of reaching that goal, they were abducted by a mindflayer ship.

  •   personality   asenath is cunning, power hungry and prideful, and has very little sense of preservation (which tends to spiral into self-destructive tendencies). her positive qualities have been buried deep within her heart for years, in favour of letting the urge take over. but since waking up on the nautiloid, her companions- and asenath herself- have gotten to know the caring, adventurous and loyal person she truly is.

  BLOOD AND THUNDER   asenath lived a happy childhood, having been adopted by a human couple: after her true nature manifested, however, they slaughtered their family and fleed their home. as head of the bhaalist cult, they were revered as both bhaal’s scion and a very powerful sorcerer. she was ruthless and extremely ambitious- a trait she shared with enver gortash, whom she would later find herself in a messy relationship with, as both partners in crime and lovers. aside from enver, they only truly cared for her sister orin, who however would put an end to their ambitions by usurping her throne.

  HAMMER OF TYR   rilune was the product of a loveless marriage, arranged to forge an alliance between two houses of menzoberranzan. her mother, heir of a lolth-sworn family but loyal to eilistraee, fled the underdark while pregnant to save her child from the influence of lolth and her followers, and found shelter in a temple of tyr. she later died during childbirth, leaving the newborn in the hands of the clergy. in the temple, rilune was educated and trained according to tyrran teachings: they were taught to value justice and punish the guilty, but also underwent a rigid training to become a soldier at the service of tyr.

  SILVER-TONGUED SCHOLAR   born to a middle class baldurian family in the lower city, ludo proved to be musically & academically talented from a young age. fuelled by their passion for song and magic, they decided to become a bard, devoting their youth to trying to achieve that dream. they spent the entirety of their teenage years as a recluse student, but made up for their lack of life experience by being great at acting like the complete opposite. mere weeks after graduating from bard college, they were abducted by the nautiloid, unexpectedly achieving their dream to live a great adventure- though in a much riskier, much higher stakes way than they’d ever have imagined.
