I would die for my warband, especially ______ my sparring partner

Maverick: Maveric is the best single-combat fighter I've ever met. Unfortunately, he has a wild streak and an ego the size of the Black Citadel. He may be a loose cannon, but he knows how to make things epic!

Euryale: Euryale, our elementalist, is the most loyal soldier in the warband. She's also stubborn, bad-tempered and protective - but at least she is honest. She stands by me and I trust her with my life.

Clawspur: Clawspur lets his blades do the talking, He's extremely calm and quiet, even for a thief. While others are making threats, Clawspur is silently positioning himself to make a quick kill. Good thing he's on my side.

Dinky: Dinky was the smallest cub in our Fahrar, so he had to be twice as tough just to break even. He gets picked on because he's a guardian and not so smart, but I stand by him. He's always been a good friend.

Reeva: Reeva fights hard and plays hard. Nothing gets her down. She always jokes that her best weapons are her engineering tools and a sharp sense of humor. To Reeva, life isn't worth much if it isn't fun.

HUMAN


I was raised __________

In the streets - Street Rat: I grew up poor, on the streets, living hand to mouth. Every day was a challenge, but like I tell my old buddy Quinn, "If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger." I've worked hard to change my luck, but I've still got a long way to go.

By common folk - Commoner: I was raised among the common folk of Divinity's Reach. We're the working class, the cogs that keep the city running. I help out at a tavern owned by my friends, Andrew and his daughter Petra.
