Wilkes

An unimportant Halfling who worked, the same as his father, in a Gnomish factory for the first several years of his adult life... until a dragon burned it down. However, among a traveling group of entertainers and wrestlers, he found a second career.

  • Born Lucky: True in mechanical practice, but Wilkes might claim that this is Gameplay and Story Segregation, especially compared to most Halflings. Why else would his workplace get hit by a random spray of dragon fire?
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Not among Halflings - as a Stout Halfling, he is actually exceptionally tall among his people - but obviously a three-and-a-half-foot-tall wrestler fits this trope among most of the other races.

Zenlie

A Halfling Monk who leads a group of traveling entertainers and wrestlers who have elements of assassins and gangsters among them who act in opposition of those who once trained her as a killer.

  • Byronic Hero:
  • Domino Mask: A masquerade-type one that she wears as the troupe leader/a performer to maintain an air of sultry mystery and ensure she is not too easily recognized lest someone is looking for her.
  • Femme Fatale:
  • Recruited from the Gutter: How she ended up working as a Femme Fatale assassin for a Yakuza-like organization. She was an orphan essentially free to be scooped up by whatever entity showed any interest.
  • She-Fu: A graceful whirlwind of flips and spins when she fights, but those graceful and attractive strikes hit so hard.
  • Yakuza: How the organization that claimed and trained her operated. As a beautiful Halfling - a people who typically love partying, dancing, and drinking more than fighting - it was easy for her to approach her handlers' rivals in the guise of a charming dancer and eliminate them.
