Okay, here are three OCs I put together, all drawing off of the stuff I started for Arbet's background.
Fritsche Josef
Age: 20
Hair color/style: brown/cropped.
Eye color: Blue
Height: 5’6.
Build: Wiry.
Status: Immune
Languages: German, some Italian
Distinguishing features: Generally has 'fresh out of boot camp’ appearance. Brand of eagle on right shoulder.
Background: Conscripted by the Band of the Red Falcon (a professional mercenary group given privilege to operate by the Empire in a manner close to an actual military) at 19. Deserted with Albrecht because he was on sentry duty that day and begged to come along. A fair shot and good with bayonet, but actively hates hurting people. Somewhat pious.
Equipment: A bolt-action rifle (think Kar98k) with spike bayonet (trench spike with a lug for mounting it over the grip). A short sword, and a couple of incendiary grenades. A golden cross on a steel chain.
Clothes: Wears a grey greatcoat with dark clothing underneath. Has a heavy pack w/bedroll, also dark.
Albrecht Salier
Age: 36
Hair color/style: Red-brown, cut short.
Eye color: Black
Height: 6’0
Build: Heavy.
Status: Immune
Languages: German, Italian, some Latin
Distinguishing features: Brand of eagle on right shoulder. Tattoo of red falcon on right forearm. Burn scars on left cheek and eye, blind on left side.
Background: Mercenary and sociopath. Got in an argument with a superior officer over a woman, which ended with the officer dead and Albrecht in the brig. Escaped, killed most of the Band of the Red Falcon’s command staff, and stole a great deal of their payroll on his way out. Allowed Fritsche to accompany him as a Morality Pet.
Recognizes he is sociopathic, relies on others to provide moral guidance. Naythiest (believes in God, doesn't think he's worth worshipping).
Very good at killing, not so much anything else.
Equipment: A bolt-action rifle identical to Fritsche’s, though considerably more battered. Bayonet in similar condition. A few fragmentation and incendiary grenades. A hand axe.
Clothes: Similarly to Fritsche, but pack and bedroll are smaller.
Kerecse ‘Farman’ Buzad
Age: Indeterminate, mid-forties?
Hair color/style: Black, dyed dark green, wild & unkempt
Eye color: Light brown, edging on yellow
Height: 6’3
Build: Thin.
Status: Immune?
Languages: Hungarian, German, Greek, Italian, some Arabic, Serbian.
Distinguishing features: Massive unkempt beard. Moss growing in and dying hair. Missing first knuckle of ring finger on left hand, and pinky finger on right hand.
Background: Is either completely batshit insane or the greatest traveler of his age. Has claimed to have traveled as far as Constantinople. Has claimed to have eaten 'fresh troll’.
Regardless, is an extremely powerful biomancer. As in, stays in the Wastes among a grove of fruit trees and growing greenery, and nothing dares approach kind of powerful.
Rather unhinged, in a harmless way. Makes frequent odd references. Refers to Fritsche as 'Morality Pet’. Refuses to teach Conrad magic on the grounds of 'not becoming the Obi-Wan of the group’.
On the list of actual feats, hit a giant with a tree. Then used said tree to launch said giant at a demonically-empowered cultist.
Currently accompanying the group because 'I want to see that cat fellow up north’.
Equipment: A long wooden staff, and a curved knife.
Clothes: Tattered camouflage-pattern robes, no shoes. A really nice tricorn hat.
