Now as always, Luci shall speak in Magenta. Before I lay claim to my place in their group, I want to make sure that the "Shared Backstory" group is cool with my hook to get me traveling with them, as spoilered below:
Spoiler
Ever since finding Sentry, Kade and his wizard friend had teamed up with the warforged to find the band of adventurers who had gotten the drop on them and raided the tomb. However, their search led them down a never-ending trail of rabbit holes and red herrings; it seemed as though they would never find the ones responsible. Every time they found a name, it would take them in a different direction, almost as if it had all been a carefully constructed shell game to keep them from ever finding the truth. Still, they kept searching.
Eventually, their attempts led them to a loose-lipped dock worker who had been hired to haul full sacks from the crypt. He gave them a name: Luci Talbot. Chasing down the name led them to a fledgling conwoman with the ability to change her story as fast as she changed her face. When the three heroes cornered her, she admitted to robbing the tomb singlehandedly, with the assistance of some hired muscle and various ne'er-do-wells paid to serve as decoys for any who might come after her. Unfortunately, she had already spent her spoils and had nothing to show for her work or repay for her crime. By way of payment, she offered to travel with them and help them find an even bigger payday. However, the three of them are leery of her offer and continue to wonder whether or not the shapeshifting grifter can be trusted at all.
Also, darkstone, a humble request: I'm rereading Master of Masks, and I kind of have a crush on it...especially for Luci. However, since most of its features are very limited use, I was wondering if we'd be open to increasing its caster advancement to every level. This way, Luci would be able to keep up her eldritch blast and invocations (which aren't overwhelmingly powerful to begin with) while also getting a few cool abilities that follow with her acting motif instead of the typical warlock goodies. I figure that the limited uses per day nicely reflect her ability to truly embody her characters for only a limited time. What do you think?
@ OMG PONIES - Sounds pretty cool to me. My character is slow to trust others but the lure of gold is more than enough to make him tolerate Luci for a while.

I can agree to this, I think. The prestige class itself is not overpowered, if I remember correctly.

Navy Shall be the color for Shade. Again as said I don't mind where I am placed, considering my back story was designed to go where I am needed to be via being one of a rare few emissaries of the guild.
I shall claim Dark Red, with which to colour coordinate with Larice.
Backstory of my character, uncomplicated as it is.
He was a thug and knee-breaker for Alfonso Granitebeard, a dwarven loanshark in the lower city.
A chance encounter with a paladin one day gave growth to a most amazing idea, that Aelitae didn't have to sully himself with crime and violence. However, the Archpaladin code didn't sit well with him when he read it, and so he took up the billet, star and chapeau of the Cudgel (St. Cuthbert).
He is currently the Cuthbertian liason to the Order of the Shining Sword, a position insisted upon by the Cuthbertians, but not very much loved by the order.
(Assuming Larice was taught by someone, I'd like the paladin who set Aelitae on the course of good to be her mentor, would that be okay?)

I guess...I dunno, at the start of the campaign, Ghost will either be wandering the slums trying to do the good guy thing or else we could have the Order of the Shining Sword having already found him? I dunno. Or maybe, they run into him if they for some reason have business in the slums?
Also, I didn't put it into the back story, but I originally planned for Ghost to have a hide out of sorts, which was basically a hidden chamber accessed from an abandoned well in the older part of town where he found the Seals for vestiges other than his first, which was from a book he stole. And I was thinking he could kind of use the chamber as a hideout, since it's sort of hard to get to, anyway.

Arus was born to humble parents outside of the city, both of them working with the Temple of the Martyred Heart. His mother and father were simple religious people: his mother, a priest evangelizing with a small village after leaving the city, his father the town's healer that converted to Heironeous.
Both parents felt that Arus would do well to belong to the church, and the boy took a shine to the more reflective and philosophical parts of the religion, and so had him trained as a Monk, where he trained as hard as he thought, inadvertently damaging his own health over the years. Now, he returns to the city his mother came from, to "give back" to the community by spreading order by aiding the Order of the Shining Sword with his martial ability, despite not being a member of the Order himself.
However, the zeal that he had originally thrown himself into his religion with is slowly fading. He is no longer quite sure if Heironeous is strictly right--Arus still believes in doing the right thing, and obeying the law, but now no longer does so immediately and unquestioningly.
The groups shall be as follows unless otherwise stated by myself:
The Good characters gain Bez Nadejny, since I want to see how that plays out.
The other characters are all in Team Evil. Or, rather, Team Neutral and Some Evil.
The "Good group" will be based out of the Interior of the City of Perios.
The second group will be based out of the Outer District of the City of Perios.

Zsiss, born of the marsh, to the Greyscale tribe, has austricized himself from his kind to follow a greater calling. He has ventured into the world of man with the noblest of ideals, but has found himself working as little more than a mercenary. As he grows, he'll discover the power within his blood which drives him to do right. Having trouble adapting to his new surroundings, Zsiss has found himself under the room of the church with little choice.
I'm placing him in the custody of the church, maybe under guard of the paladins for an unconventional approach to right and wrong. Sound good? Anyone want to tie me in.
A note: The honorable Swordgeo will be playing some of the NPCs of the world I am creating, to aid me in my DMing.

He'll be playing a myriad of NPCs, both villainous and helpful. So, you'll be seeing quite a bit of him.

Here is the thread for the Outer Regioners. This is the "Evil Group". (even though it is more neutral)
EDIT: I'm a little late, but I got them up, now. Sorry for the wait.
