About Characters
The Characters
The Seafolk are an alliance of humans and elves who control a few safer settlements
dotted along the coast. In the High Ridges the mysterious Ninja practice their martial skills and
strange religion, aloof from all. On the islands and upon the ocean itself bands of pirates use their seafaring
skills to prey on those who come too close to where they lurk. Underwater squid-humanoids called the Zeld
live in submerged cities and follow a strange culture all their own.
Characters can be chosen from a limited available range. Any of the Berenian human classes are allowed,
except Crusaders and Glacier Barbarians (neither of which have made it as far as The Golden Coast.)
The only other Berenian classes which are allowed are Lesser Vampires. Midnight Elves are
allowed from the Frontier setting and from Kyr the following classes are allowed:-
Escaped Slaves, Kyrian Warriors, Zoroastrians and Tourdalan.
The Golden Coast also has its own unique classes to choose from; Male Human Ninja,
Female Human Ninja, Male Human Pirate, Female Human Pirate, Male Zeld, Female Zeld, DuZeld.
(There are three sexes in the Zeld race, all of which are required to procreate),
Male Human SeaFolk, Female Human SeaFolk, Male Sea Elf, Female Sea Elf.
Ninja
These elusive and mysterious martial artists live in the High Ridges and more remote areas
of the Golden Coast. Usually they are happy to be left alone, but there are some instances where
this is not the case. The most common is that the Ninja is on a Life Journey, a part of their training which
requires them to go out into the world and experience camaraderie and combat. They may also be on a
mission, hired to complete a dark task. This is because Ninja are specialised thieves and assassins
in some cases. Finally, the Ninja may be hunting Pirates. Ninjas just hate Pirates. Hate them. Ninja use the
Monk skill set and have some skills of their own too.
Pirates
In general Pirates have a bad name and sometimes this is deserved. But Pirate communities can be quite
large and not all Pirates actually practice traditional piracy, preying on the other races. Pirates do mix
with other communities and can be productive and valuable additions to any venture. Or they might just steal
everything and run. Pirates will go out of their way to fight Ninja. Something about those black pajamas bugs the
hell out of a pirate. Pirates use the Human Fighter skill set and have some skills of their own too.
Zeld
These Squid Humanoids have a very alien culture and because of this they have seldom mixed with the other races.
But slowly and surely they have begun to integrate, showing that despite their horrific appearance they are not
actually evil. They are very literal and somewhat cold in their manner, but they have still managed to form alliances
and friendships with humans and their allies. Zeld only have access to generic skills. But they can grow pretty huge as they
get older - their bodies never stop growing until the day they die.
Human SeaFolk
These are just Humans who live by the sea. They use the Human Rogue skill set and have some skills of their own too.
All Human SeaFolk begin the game with the skills Swimming, Sea Fishing and Sailing.
Sea Elves
This race of elves is able to live both above and under the waves. For years they were the go-between for
Humans and Zeld, until the Zeld themselves came out of the water. Unlike Berenian Elves, the males of this race are strong
and virile. They use the Elven Warrior Maiden skill set.
