IK Game background (will post updates later as needed)

Okay before I post too much on the IK game, I want to get a brief background post out of the way, building the backstory. First off our cast (apologies for anybody whose name I didn't spell correctly):

Prelate Sebastian Redgrave - A battle chaplain of Morrow who is known for being a very capable witch hunter. When he was 5 years old, his family was killed and his house burned by necrotechs. He barely escaped, and through sheer luck found his way to a nearby temple where the church of Morrow nursed him back to health and raised him as a ward for the next five years, when he entered into the priesthood in order to help others avoid the same fate he suffered. He has spent his entire life seeking out and destroying necromancers, witches, infernalists and undead. He is a stubborn optimist, but staring into the shadows for so long has had an effect on him, and he is more quick to overstep some of the bounds of his office, even to kill, when he thinks it will protect others.

Sonja - Former bodyguard of the king, Sonja carries with her a past that forced her to retire early. She is trying to get back to Lhael, where she is a noble, in order to find her family and save them from the Khardic occupation.

Bork - Gobber thief, currently being held in Cygnar's prision block.

Alyssa - Iosian Wizardress, fleeing her country from the Retribution of Scyrah, who are trying to kill all wizards. She is currently hiding in Cygnar and petitioning the Fraternal Order of Wizardry for an audience.

Aleksia Ilyanova - Aleksia was the daughter of a Khardic immigrant to Cygnar who ran a carpentry shop. Three years ago she was orphaned by a fire that killed her father and burned her right arm beyond saving. Inexplicably, two precepts of Cyriss helped her survive her injuries, even replacing her arm with a mechanikal replacement, and then turning her over to a friend of her father's until she was back on her feet. Her interest in mechanika grew, and by the time she was 17, she had become a true marvel at her work. She reopened her father's shop as an Arcane Mechanik and repair shop. After two years of work, she just received her membership in the Steam and Iron Worker's Union, and license to play her trade anywhere their business is accepted.

(Name to be gotten later) Ogrin Mercenary who has worked his way up through various merc groups in Cygnar in the hopes of being a professional soldier second to none.

Calys Menellyth - A Nyss druid who wandered too far away from home in his youth, he was taken by a Cryx slaver party and brought to Cryx to be turned into a Thrall. He had almost reached the city when the party was attacked and he was rescued by a Blackclad and his apprentice who had sensed his power. The price for his life was to learn from him, and he formed a frienship wtih him and his apprentice, a human girl not too far from her primal change. Four years passed with them and he returned home, the only Nyss ever to be inducted into their order, and rejoined his Shard. He has since defended the northern wastes from all who would attempt to do more than just survive there, and travelled the world, occasionally visiting his friend in her own travels. Currently he is en route to Caspia, after his shard was attacked and destroyed by the famous Caspian mercenary commander Garrick Carrde, who also took his claymore and one of the boys of his shard hostage.


Sebastian was ordered by church superiors into the Protectorate of Menoth in order to track down a secret complex they have been taking captured Arcane Mechaniks to in order to force them to serve as slave labor working on something. A previous mission sent by the church failed, and they hoped to avoid any infiltration by using non-church members for this mission. Sebastian was given a list of a group of people who were specialists in their field and desperate enough to do anything for a price. Sebastian gathered them all, promising something to everyone involved. Unfortunately they were already being followed, as protectorate assassins attempted to kill them all at different points and ended up framing Aleksia for the murder of her assistant and they were forced into helping Calys rescue the boy from Carrde's complex, which turned out to be a trap for them.
