Each character has at least 1 way of knowing the others from before the campaign starts. Fill in your character’s connections from left to right (as an example, I put in Nortle’s information). If you can’t think of something but like what someone else used already, put that in at the appropriate place (like with Basil and Nortle’s connection being the same).
| Xeros | Nortle | TBD | J. Kins | Foulclaw | Basil | |
| Xeros | Xeros know Xeros - everybody knows Xeros The head man of the band YEAR XEROS! | Signed Nortle’s shell at a meet and greet after the Battle of the Bands with TBD | Xeros played with his group at festivals that TBD was at. They also played against each other in two epic battle of the bands - one was sponsored by iBard, the other had a hidden benefactor, many believe it was sponsored by the Lashing Underground or the Ityites… it was the first appearance of Harpy’s Lament - the all female band that Samwell took after dissolving Year Xeros. | Xeros hired J. Kins at one point to look into the rumors that his group manager Sa Muhell, was going to dissolve the group, and replace them with an all female lineup. J. Kins “may” have embezzled money from Xeros, to pay a debt. Or just to keep up with her brothel addiction. (Secretly a groupie of Xeros but to avoid detection concocted the idea of the female line up and embezzlement) | After his group was dissolved Xeros took on Foul Claw as an apprentice and went on a dark adventure to find out who Xeros father was. Xeros took foulclaw under his “wing” you might say. Xeros spent most of his fortune during this adventure, and now is looking to replenish his coffers to pay foulclaw is due, and continue the mystery YAAAAS!!!! | Got punched in the face after hitting on Basil He may or may not remember the encounter. - Rolled a nat 1 on charisma. He had a little too much to drink the day his band was dissolved. Xeros is a sucker for [[The Forbidden Fruits Orchard |
| Nortle | Huge fan | - | Spent time as a roadie for TBD’s early career | Used to play cards together | Went to animal-people school together | Siblings (we share a tortle mother); I’m older. Mom got wasted and met up with a harengon and everyone in the litter died except Basil. I kind of acted like the dad, since real dad is out of the picture. Mom doesn’t much care about/for Basil because of the shame. Basil left when she was younger |
| TBD | Xeros and I played against each other in two different epic Battle of the Bands. It was glorious! Sadly I lost, both times. I don’t think I’ll ever understand that emo music, at least Xeros told me I wouldn’t understand. Kept putting his hands through his hair every time he said it. But I’m pretty sure the second one was rigged. Kinda fishy when you don’t know who’s sponsoring the battle. Makes for another great conspiracy! I gotta write this down, where’s my book of Top Secrets! | Oh, Nortle? He was a Roadie in my early career. I was a little concerned he was going to be too slow because of his, you know, appearance. But then I heard he was a ninja. Chevynova! Best Roadie I ever had. Snif. | - I know myself, I think. I’m the giant wizard with sick licks and phat riffs! I’m the guitarist and singer for the band, Killasaurus. My hobbies include Rocking on, getting swole, blowing stuff up, and the latest most breaking news from Weekly Kouréas Tabloids. Where the truth is found. I’m also allergic to animal hair. We should probably fix that if we are going to hang out. | Gypsy J. Kin’s was my first and only guitar student. Yeah, I got frustrated that she didn’t just get it after I explained it the first time. So I hung up my teaching cap and went back to my most excellent life of rocking on and conspiracy fan theories. Gypsy does share my love for conspiracy theories, and told me about this great one about the Swollen Waste Swamp Wolf. Something to do with skin joggers? I don’t remember—but I went to go check it out and I must’ve rocked so hard with the Swamp Wolf cause I blacked out and don’t remember anything. That’s the only thing that makes sense. Anyways, check out these guns! | Oh yeah, I remember now! I always saw him hanging with Xeros. Aren’t they like BFFs? Or is he his DJ? Dunno. We did run into each other in the bathroom between sessions at the 2nd battle of the bands. I think he wished me luck or something, but I won’t look a man in the eyes in a bathroom. Heck no! | Basil is the best! She is Nortle’s sister and would help out once in a while on stage with me and the band. Great tambourinist. I’m pretty sure we almost won the second Battle of the Bands cause she totally distracted Xeros with her moves. Hahaha, you should’ve seen how hard he choked when he tried to talk to her in the green room! |
| J. Kins | Xeros hired J. Kins at one point to look into the rumors that his group manager Samwell, was going to dissolve the group, and replace them with an all female lineup. J. Kins “may” have embezzled money from Xeros, to pay a debt. Or just to keep up with her brothel addiction. (Secretly a groupie of Xeros but to avoid detection concocted the idea of the female line up and embezzlement) | Used to play cards together at animal-people school. | Parents signed me up for guitar lessons with TBD but I did not have a talent for it. Came to realize however that we both enjoy talking about the conspiracy theory that there are “skin walkers” around us that come from the Swollen Waste. | - | Went to animal-people school together. Stood up to bullies who bullied fowlclaw. | Met at a “grooming spa”. Turns out it was really a brothel. Ended up becoming good friends after a few drinks. Bonded over their pretend hate for brothels, and stupid men. |
| Foulclaw | apprenticed by Xeros. Did Foul claw need anything from our adventure… was he looking for anything while he was an apprentice? Can you still be my apprentice? Oh my! very sith… Trust me I will not be evil for the campaign… my story is a story of redemption!!! Oh yes… foreboding. | |||||
| Basil | After losing in a race against Tortle, Basil immediately went to the nearest tavern to get ridiculously drunk. An intoxicated Xeros made the mistake of approaching her, and running his fingers through her adorable fluffy tail. If her blood wasn’t already boiling with rage she may have pretended to not be flattered. Basil had no choice, but to kick his ass. And kick his ass, she did. After smashing his face with her fist; She instantly recognized him from her days volunteering at the Battle of the Bands. She’s not sure she can ever admit that she’s a huge fan due to the embarrassment. | Siblings, half brother At the naive age of 19, Nortle and Basil got into an argument about the speed of different races/species. After hours of discussing the matter; they decided to settle it with a race. Long stupid story short Basil lost the race. It will not be discussed any further. Word got round about her embarrassing loss, some claiming it would become a parabled legend. She packed her bags, and moved out after that. She tries to forget about it every morning when she wakes up. Despite this, Basil is quite fond of Nortle/Tortles in general. | Basil absolutely loves music, and dancing. She volunteered as backstage staff in her teens for multiple Battle of the Bands events. Hoping one day she could be part of a band herself. She met TBD backstage while carrying his ridiculously large equipment on stage with ease. He told her he was impressed with her strength. Since that comment, she started enjoying his music more. | Met at a “grooming spa”. Turns out it was really a brothel. Ended up becoming good friends after a few drinks. Bonded over their pretend hate for brothels, and stupid men. | After converting to Buddhism, Basil wanted to learn more techniques for meditating due to her quick temper. She snuck into a library at some school where she ran into Foulclaw. They ended up talking for hours. During Foulclaws 78 attempts to convert Basil to the Church of Idiots (She forgot the actual name). She discovered the secret to meditation; unlocking her ability to tune out all things. Her faith in Buddhism is now stronger than ever thanks Foulclaw. | - |
