A mature knight errant or ronin styled paladin. - Not your stereotypical cartoonish naïve judgmental douche.
One that is wise, reserved, and careful in their judgment of others. They have a philosophical depth to them. A stoic nuanced paladin perhaps seeking redemption to an oath sworn not to a god but a lost lover or mentor. They are rarely snarky and would retort to humorous jabs at them or the situation with wise stoic one-liners imparting lessons of wisdom and honor. This character could be any race or sex but I think they would be most interesting as a female dwarf.

A struggling adventuring Sorcerer who is introverted, self-loathing, mostly sad, rarely brave but is incredibly powerful. They could get their powers from a cursed bloodline and prefer solitude so they don’t hurt others when they lose control of their wild magic; perhaps they too are seeking a powerful healer or magic-user to help them control or get rid of their powers/curse.


Man, these are great, love the idea.
