Heroes: Seppo, Foliage

Below are two more heroes which joined the madness and mayhem in Poori:

Seppo The Protagonist

At only fifteen, Seppo was the youngest and slightest of Gurgrock and unfortunate Nikko, three best friends from the docks of Poori whose lives turned out just as fate and fortune would dictate but differently than their mothers had hoped.

Seppo's small frame and naivete to the wider world is tempered by his good heart, nimble hands, and creative mind. A compulsive fast-talker and easily distracted, he has served many jobs, including as a fletcher, apprentice carpenter, and cutpurse. He prides himself on his handiwork, including a crossbow he uses for hunting, trick-shooting for coin, and sometimes to less legal (but never dishonorable) ends.

After he learned of the violent death of Nikko, Seppo set himself to joining with Gurgrock's trustworthy-enough gang of heroes to track down his friend's killer, while at the same time seeing the world for the first time.

Motivations: Be the local boy done good in the wide world; find Nikko's killer

Heroic Flaws: Naivete; focus

Foliage The Warped

Foliage is a Druid from the wilds north of Poori, long ago driven mad from a scourge of evil humanoids who burned down his sacred grove. Now without a home to bind him, he has been thrust into a wandering life of vengeance, vigilantism, and prolonged alcoholism. Often he sees himself as an aggravated foster uncle of sorts to his young and often-wayward traveling companions.

With the appearance of an unkempt wild man, Foliage wears untanned furs; a wide-brimmed hat; a brace of liquors, moonshines, and narcotic roots; and bears a giant beard which is home to a host of critters and plants. At his waist is the Branch Cutter, a giant bronze knife often bloodied in joyless revenge against the enemies of nature. Around his neck is the feather-and-bone Amulet of the Three Sylvan Brothers, a relic of his faith and more peaceful times, which allows him to channel his inner spirit by transforming into the form of fox, deer, or hawk, although at the cost of quickly draining his human nature.

Motivations: Vengeance against those who ravaged his sacred grove and groves all over

Heroic Flaw: Aggression, hotheadedness
