Race/species: Human, though with strange armored implants on his arms that allow him to equip certain modified weapons (specified below).
Jobs/skills: A mercenary with a mysterious past, Karl is trained in stealth, hand-to-hand combat, and swordsmanship. He has a dueling broadsword that he wears at all times, and is capable of repairing his equipment, though his skills at metalwork and fine repairs can be sketchy at times.
Appearance: Tall, about 5’ 6” in height. Slightly thinner than most people of his stature, though athletic in build. Prefers to wear muted colors, a mix of brown, gray, and green. Sometimes wears a hooded cloak to hide his face, though usually for the drama rather than the actual utility. He has a slight amount of stubble on his face, and looks a little older than his age of 37 years. His hair is a dark brown, close to black.
Weapons: The aforementioned dueling sword, a knife, and a small dart launcher of expensive design that can be mounted to his arm. It has a capacity to hold four shots at a time. He also has a total of twenty of the darts stored in a pouch on his belt. The darts are made of small sharpened wood pieces, so they are easy to replace.
The trip so far has been an arduous one, filled with many hours of begging and pleading as participants vanish into the ether, only to reappear at odd hours to ask someone to respond.
