BG2 for PF Core - Pregen List

[Zyraen]

Edit: Note that adventure actually takes place in the Forgotten Realms, centred around the city of Athkatla.
For easy reference, we shall refer to Golarion Deities, except the deceased deity shall have to remain the same.
The following is the background not just for Abdel but for the main course of the Baldur's Gate 2 saga. Hence his portrait is deliberately placed below.

==========

BACKGROUND

Abdel and Imoen were two orphans raised together in Candlekeep under their foster father Gorion, who also happened to be a retired adventurer and Harper. Gorion was a scholarly old man who did his best to educate both children in the rather extensive library of the keep, and also taught them about the teachings of Iomedae. Both the children found the rigid academics boring and went about their own interests.

Abdel found himself interested in martial matters and took up training under the guidance of the local swordmaster, and also grew into a muscular towering lion of a man. Not one to scowl at the change in inclination of his charges, on his "graduation" Gorion took the opportunity to present him with a magical weapon. Thereafter, Abdel picked up practical experience as a mercenary and returning to Candlekeep between stints.

Gorion would some time later travel with Abdel and Imoen away from Candlekeep, after discreetly disposing of two assassins targeting his foster children. Along the way, they were ambushed by a powerful warrior named Sarevok and his band of elite mercenaries. Gorion sacrificed himself to hold them off long enough for Abdel and Imoen to flee. They two then met up with Khalid and Jaheira, who were friends of Gorion, and gathered a few others to them. Eventually the party would foil Sarevok's plan to manuever his organisation into rulership of the lands, and avenge Gorion by defeating the villain himself, and tales of their heroics became known.

Some time after, the party was captured by a powerful wizard called Irenicus and brought to his underground dungeon. Through tortures and tests, Irenicus focused his attention on Abdel, claiming that he has much untapped power. However, his subterranean complex came under attack, and during the tumult Imoen freed herself and then Abdel, before moving on to free others, including Jaheira and Yoshimo, but Khalid had already perished some time ago and was beyond raising. Along the way they recovered some of their gear while battling Irenicus' creatures and also what seemed to be invading thieves.

They managed to escape the complex only to find their way blocked by a magical battle between Irenicus and many cowled spellcasters. Clearly superior, Irenicus felled some of them and Imoen cast some spells to help, but Irenicus subdued her and then suddenly decided to surrender to the wizards while suggesting they take Imoen also, since she also had been involved in the "unsanctioned use of magical energy." The cowled spellcasters then spirited Irenicus and Imoen away.

Abdel and his remaining companions soon learn they are in Athkatla, standing by a collapsed section of a promenade in the heart of the city. Apparently the dungeon had been built under the city, and Abdel vows to rescue his "sister" Imoen and avenge his fallen friends by destroying Irenicus. He sets about gathering more companions and trying to find information about where Imoen and Irenicus could be.

Abdel today is a morose and serious man, choosing to speak only when he sees a need to. He tends to brood over what life could have been and though he does not initiate the topic much, once started he describes his childhood in Candlekeep with Gorion and Imoen in great detail, as well as reminisce about friends long dead. Thus far, he views most of his heroics as "incidental", since it just so happens that the foes he would destroy are notable evils. Abdel is also prone to bursts of anger, and is especially single minded in the pursuit of vengeance for the fallen, maybe because deep down he regrets not having stayed to protect Gorion. Along the way, Abdel enjoys the thrill of battle, the feeling of his foes' blood being spilt, and being up close to see their countenance as they breathe their last. Perhaps a bit too much.

CUSTOMISATION NOTES

Abdel is the main character of the Baldur's Gate saga, but is himself only one of the possible main characters. His gender, alignment, race, stats, class and personality can be completely changed with little or no impact to the story, but some character must take the role of the de facto leader and driver of the story.

[Zyraen]

ANOMEN DELRYN

Lawful Neutral Human, Fighter Cleric of Iomedae

BRIEF BACKGROUND

Anomen Delryn is a member of a noble family in Athkatla, although he joined the Most Noble of the Radiant Heart (a Paladin-led Order) without the permission of his father nor patronage. He has had to climb his way up the ranks, serving as squire and then as priest to Iomedae. It is Anomen's most fervent desire to prove himself through his adventures and one day pass his Test to become a full Knight of the Order... but if anything, his own judgmental attitudes and puritan arrogance are what hold him back.

DETAILED INFORMATION

Anomen comes from a family with a constantly abusive and drunk father Cor, who became this way after his mother passed away when Anomen was young. He has no recollection of her, so possibly when giving birth to him. Growing up, Anomen was very close to his older sister Moira, who would help protect and shield the young boy from savage whipping by his father, even if it meant that she herself became the target.

For most part, Moira became the de-facto woman of the house, directing servants and keeping the house in order, especially in the wake of the father's rampages. She also helped keep the books of the family business, though she rarely left their estate, nor was she open to the idea of suitors when she knows her family needs her. When he later came to know about the Order of the Radiant Heart, Anomen regarded her as having the true spirit of a "Paladin", which was to protect at all costs and amidst great self sacrifice. It was because of her encouragement - possibly due to her personal angst at being caged for the good of the family - that she encouraged Anomen to flee from the yoke of the father and pursue his dreams as a squire in the Order.

Although outwardly Anomen has only the deepest loathing for his father, on a very primal level he also deeply wishes to impress his father. Another part of him, out of love for Moira, wishes his father would drop dead of drinking so she could have a better life after her period of extended longsuffering, possibly with someone who she loves. But Anomen is himself in his 20s, and Moira is no longer young either. Part of him knows he should challenge his father for the right to run the family, but he has no real inclination, and deep down he is still very scared of the whippings he received as a boy. With all these pent up frustrations, he throws himself with a fanatical fervour into his adventuring pursuits.

Ironically, it is his fanatical desire to do what is "right and good" that has skewed Anomen's true alignment, though he is completely blind to the fact that he is not Lawful Good. He is judgmental and brash, and tends to see things in black and white while in pursuit of his "paladin" ideal. Like his father, he is prone to bouts of anger - albeit righteous, so he thinks. It does not help that his insecurity due to his inability or cowardice to help his sister and make his family better manifests in a need to compensate by presenting a strong front, constantly bragging and boasting about his achievements in the Order, shutting down other people and making more enemies than friends. Altogether, Anomen is a fragile personality speeding towards a tipping point, be it a possibly irreversible mistake involving innocents, or the outcome of whether he will pass his Test to become a Knight.

QUOTES

"Why do we pace about when there is evil to be fought?! There is no glory in watching the grass grow."
"The night hides evils that you can barely imagine. Good thing I stand ready against any who would dare to strike against us."
"Pfeh! A dank pool of base corruption, if ever there was one." <-- referring to the city
"I've bettered myself in every way so that I might someday be Judged worthy of knighthood."
"These pathetic skirmishes of ours aren't worth the time I spend cleaning my weapons after the battle."
"I am an instrument of justice, a redeemer of the weak, protector of the righteous and the fallen alike."

PLOT HOOKS

Anomen is eyeing the Copper Coronet, a seedy but huge tavern located in the slums, as a cesspool of vice that needs cleansing. It also just so happens to be one of his father's favourite drinking spots. Sure, there is plenty of night life going around there, but Anomen feels determined there must be something illegal about the whole set up.

NALIA DE'ARNISE

Chaotic Good Human, Rogue dualclass Wizard

BRIEF BACKGROUND

Nalia De'Arnise is a member of the privileged class. Her father is a Duke with wide lands that he rules from the family’s keep in the Amnish wildlands. Nalia identifies far more with the poor than with her own class, however, and has gone out of her way on many occasions to sneak away from home and find ways to help those less well-off than she. A bit naïve in the ways of the world, Nalia is an intelligent young woman who learns quickly and is a skilled mage. Rumours abound recently of trouble at the De’Arnise keep and Nalia has been seen at several Athkatlan taverns, seeking to employ mercenaries for her cause.

DETAILED INFORMATION

Nalia is the only child of the influential Lord De'Arnise, and as a result showered with much care. Most of her concern with the "lower class" started from Lord De'Arnise being regularly caught up in other matters and leaving her mostly in the care of servants. As expected, she was brought up in a suitably coddled and privileged manner reserved for the princess of the household, and hence while she likes and appreciates the "lower class" as people, to her it is an indisputable part of her whole life that she is one of "their betters" who are more important.

This was further accentuated as she grew older, when she noticed how her aunts and other nobles would often lord over the servants and make life difficult for them based on their whim. While she is annoyed by it, her attitude is more of not liking how other nobles are mean to "kick the dogs", and thinking that "dogs" should be treated better. It has never quite crossed her mind that these lower class people are not "dogs", and it is completely inconceivable that they could be considered her equals.

While Nalia proved adept at sneaking around from the coddled confines of the keep and nicking keys and what not from those around her, blending in with the "less well-off" is something quite beyond her. She would have no problem disguising herself (as one of "them"), but a few remarks would quickly set her aside as "one of your betters". While she has her own set of skills - adventuring ones - inevitably when it comes to help the poor, she only does so by making a big show of it and offering coin rather than anything else while delivering a suitable earful about how now they should appreciate those above their station.

It is no surprise that when she delivers such offers of help, the recipients quickly note that she is offering high handed charity, and either resent her for her condescending attitudes, or take advantage accordingly and play up their need for coin, or both. There have been some close shaves, but so far she has yet to be taken captive or held for ransom, which in retrospect she passes off as "the poor have pride too you know" and that "the poor must do what they can to survive."

The current situation however is quite beyond her control, what with a veritable force of creatures attacking the keep in an organised manner, seemingly out of nowhere. She and a group of her caretakers were directed by her father to leave the De'Arnise keep at the behest of her father in case the keep should fall. Unwilling to leave the father in the lurch, Nalia quickly managed to escape her nannies but with her naivete and patronising manner, had relatively little luck recruiting anyone to help take on the menace at home. That is, up until she joined the party.

QUOTES

"I shall strive to help all those under me."
"I could sit around doing nothing back at the keep. Let's get going."
"My land is under siege, and none of this rabble will aid me! And after all I've done for their kind, too!"
"Some people are just more privileged than others. It is not my fault, but I do my part to help those beneath me. You'd think they would be grateful."
"I don't like cities much. They are built on the backs of the unfortunate."

PLOT HOOKS

As earlier mentioned, Nalia's home the De'Arnise Keep is under siege by various creatures. Assuming she survives her attempt to turn the tide, the aftermath of the attack will probably transform her life and change most of what she knows.

YOSHIMO

Neutral Human, Fighter/Rogue

BRIEF BACKGROUND

Yoshimo is a free-spirited thief from a small city in Tien. His ideals of honour and culture are unique to his land and he claims to often encounter barriers against his acclimatising to life in the West. Yoshimo is fairly adventurous, however, and has not allowed such a thing to deter him. Wandering from land to land, he has made a living for himself (as well as a fair reputation as a rapscallion) working for those with the coin to pay him.

DETAILED INFORMATION

Yoshimo seems a happy-go-lucky soul that is always cheerful and easy to get along with, but gets task-oriented when he is on the job, no matter how grim it might be. That said, he has learnt a well timed quip helps when things take a turn for the worse, even if no one is remotely amused. His average height and lean frame might mislead others into thinking he is more bravado than action, and he encourages this by joking about himself and praising or encouraging others.

His past according to Yoshimo, starts with a tutelage under his mentor/sensei, who trained him with weapons, and built his skill and strength, and taught him about a warrior's honor. Though he speaks of it with pride and makes his teacher sound like a reclusive monk or warrior hermit somewhere, one can't help getting the impression his master was probably of a shady profession and stealthy rather than reclusive. In any case, word somehow got out and he was cornered into a challenge to show how good his master's training was. Yoshimo made good the challenge but had to flee, for the challenger did not survive and his friends were present. At least that's how he puts it.

Though he never speaks of it, Yoshimo in fact had two masters. The first was an honorable warrior who he admired most, but was felled by assassins. Yoshimo infiltrated them and after being part of the group for years and learning from their leader, he finally got his revenge by challenging his 2nd master for leadership of the group. Since then he has been a rogue, a mercenary and also an assassin. His cheery self-deprecating attitude is not merely a way to get closer to targets - people tend not to feel threatened by fools - but also helps relieve his dissonance in having to steal and kill for a living, and certainly killing well pays better. Still, one has to be constantly be on the move lest his past catch up with him.

Since then, years have passed and Yoshimo has amassed enough wealth to have a comfortable life as a commoner. In his quiet moments of contemplation, Yoshimo is coming to grips that he no longer works simply to get by, but for the thrill of it, though he tells himself he does not enjoy killing and it is strictly business. For this reason he is considerably happier adventuring and performing heroics, and since joining the new party, his comrades are growing on him.

Regardless, Yoshimo is still literally a soldier of fortune, or perhaps a conscript. As a prosperous major city of trade, Athkatla boasts a very well informed Shadow Thief guild, and someone up there has made it known to Yoshimo that they are keeping an eye on him. Since arriving in the city, Yoshimo has been made more than one offer, offers that would probably bode ill for him should he not attend to them.

QUOTES
"Ah, yes...the city. With all its people and their accumulated wealth, yes?"
"Where shall I display my skill and expertise?"
"Pay attention... you will get no second chance."
"I can dance on the head of a pin, as well."
"Very well. Hai - yah."

PLOT HOOK

Yoshimo has been asked to bring his new companions to visit a Shadow Thief guild in the city. He is concerned what he or the party might be asked to do, if the party would agree to it, and if the party did not what would happen. Or worse, perhaps his party *is* the objective.
