Rex
Archetype: Ork Dog
Shaman
Rex does,
indeed, talk like Scooby Doo, in addition to having hair growing out and
over every possible body surface. When not tending shop, he’s usually off
in some sparsely populated suburban park, casting low level mana spells at
squirrels and yelling at cats to fuck off. Overly friendly to all
patrons, he aims to please, and loves free jerky. His store, Trinkets, is
small but elaborate, the staff capable of producing everything from simple
talismans to high level foci. Known to no one but his staff, there is a
small safe hidden in the basement, warded and trapped, that contains
several millions dollars’ worth of orichalcum, although on the surface it
appears only a pittance is available for alchemic endeavors
Mythic
Archetype: Elf Street
Mage
While Rex
handles the negotiations and sales, Mythic is in charge of the day to day
operation of Trinkets, and he is damn serious about his job. Since Rex
has banned any computer systems more complicated than an abacus, Mythic
must constantly monitor the sales books, as well as which materials and
items have gone into the creation of Trinkets’ customer products. He then
must personally call in the orders for what the store needs and
occasionally make payment in person for these items. To keep himself from
going completely insane, he does use his magic abilities to cast scribe
spells and summon assistant spirits to help him along.
Autumn
Archetype: Human
Enchanter
A master’s
degree graduate of Georgetown’s Thaumetic Studies program, Autumn
ultimately shyed away from lucrative positions of eager megacorporations,
instead answering a help wanted ad posted by Trinkets and settling in to
her sedentary position as an enchantress. Autumn’s work is top grade and
custom orders from high paying customers usually go through her. While
quiet and reserved at work, she is a hard core frequenter of the city’s
underground magical club scene, occasionally showing up late for work with
a mystical hangover, but quick to snap back into good form and work late
to fulfill the needs of the store.
Lokena
Archetype: Human
Enchanter
Lokena’s
primary function is to ready the materials, potions, circles and so on
that Autumn uses to enchant her items. Often relegated to a ritual room
in the basement, she takes her lower position in stride and tries to glean
every bit of knowledge she can from Autumn as she performs her feats.
Soft spoken and kind, Lokena often appears to be nearing exhaustion as she
not only tries to keep up with Autumn’s requests, but also works on the
lower priority projects assigned to her by Rex. She does occasionally
engage in ‘side projects’ designed to boost her energy, a practice Rex
tolerates, though on more than a few occasions it has resulted in her
being sent home to get some real rest.
Park
Archetype: Troll
Alchemist
Master of the
other half of the basement, Park can make just about anything turn into
just about anything else. Getting up in his years, Park’s work area is
equipped with a bathroom and a hammock (a BIG hammock) and the only time
anybody really sees him is when he goes out for food. One look into his
sunken, piercing green eyes gives the impression that he has been through
a lot in his life and few realize they’re looking at the reconstructed
face of a man whose old profession generated magical weapons that killed
thousands. |
