These characters are an elite group who have worked together before. It's very likely they won't make it out of the rebellion alive. There should be camaraderie between the characters. They should work together very well. There will be other npcs in the group providing backup/whatever, but these are the lead three.
It should be noted that these characters can be played as NPCs, and their actions will be played out in other threads until or if players pick them up.
Feel free to change the names.
A tentative means of them knowing each other is that Chirp's family served Remmeke's family. When Remmeke's family fell from grace he and Chirp were picked up by Paragon five-ish years ago and that's when they met Gil. Please feel free to come up with something entirely different!

Purpose: The fighter of Awakened. Player must have been a member for 6 months with one character approved.
Name: Chirp (has not been called by her real name for years)
Gender: f
Age: late 20s-early 30s
Character details:
- Has mastered magical swordplay (how you make it work is up to you) that makes her very, very dangerous. Better at the sword then Remmeke.
- Spunky. Loves awful humor.
- Born into a family who served Remmeke's family.
Character ideas:
- Not afraid of death?
- Reckless?
- Unconsciously uses her magic through swordplay and has always done so? Was not aware of it until Gil told her? Perhaps it translates to hyper awareness and sorta an extra-sensory perception of people around her? Perhaps can latently sense magical ability but doesn't realize that's what she's sensing, instead feeling it as people she should be wary of?
- Gets on super well with Gil, feels sorta rivalry/sibling-like love/resentment for Remmeke?
- Good at following orders?
- Has a super hard time learning how to read/write/other scholarly pursuits?
- Has the most crooked/dirty mind out of the three, and is often chastised for it?
