■ Characters
Dustin Binsley
Class: Garbage Knight (In-Training)
Weapon: His scrappy old sword, “Can-Opener”
Skill: Scrapbinding
Hometown: Tin Alley
Dustin is a young cannister from Tin Alley, who was recently granted with the honor as serving as the King’s personal squire at the 115th Annual KingsCon. However, Dustin stayed up all night drinking curdled milk and overslept the feast. And oh yeah, the King got kidnapped. So now it’s up to Dustin to take on a dangerous mission, where he must prove to everyone-and himself- that he is truly worthy of the title of Garbage Knight.
Ratavia
Class: Rogue
Weapon: Daggers
Skill: Way of the Street
Hometown: Ratlanta
Dustin’s best friend and older-sister figure. She moved to Tin Alley after leaving her home kingdom of Mammalon a few years ago. She wanted to live a simple life in a quiet place… too bad keeping Dustin out of trouble is a full time job.
Walker Jacket
Class: Gunman / Librarian
Weapon: His trusty revolver, “Bookshot”
Skill: Trickshots
Hometown: Needlepoint
A member of the Order of Book’s End and probably the most feared librarian in all of the Lands of Fill. He spent years chasing down overdue books and lost library cards but now must lend his service to a greater cause…
Cerulean
Class: Laundromancer
Weapon: Bubble Wind
Skill: Laundromancy
Hometown: Laundry Forest
This young laundromancer was often known as “shy” “quiet” and “nothing special.” That all changed on his Print-Day, when he received the sacred Star Pattern, not seen for over a century. With his sudden rise to notoriety he found himself ostracized by his fellow Wizards of the Wash. They were probably just jealous. Now he spends most of his time in seclusion working on his bubble arts.
Musk
Class: Stink-Bug
Weapon: Stinklances
Skill: Fumeshaping
Hometown: ???
Little is known about Musk. He has been working for the crime lord Big Daddy Longlegs for the last ten years, but before that no one has been able to find any trace of him. As greedy as he is grumpy, Musk isn’t all bad as he pretends to be. He possesses an exotic skill known as Fumeshaping, where he can memorize the scents of his enemies and create a stink cloud around himself in their image.
Lute
Class: Bard / Student
Weapon: None
Skill: Arguably none
Hometown: Tabletop
Lute is the disowned son of House Stringmire. He didn’t show much promise in his music studies and and often skipped his lessons to go read instead. He became an embarrassment to his family of accomplished musical instruments, and was sent off to join the Book Keeper’s Order and has become the understudy of Walker Jacket.
