Description: Phineas T. Codswallop is a little person, but there’s nothing small about him. Giant dreams! Huge spirits! Big talk! His attire is dramatic, expensive and formal, and has clearly seen better days. His manner of speaking is likewise over the top; voluble, embroidered with orotund, baroque locutions of hyperbole and exaggeration. And his mighty mustache is worthy of the name.

Background: An ambitious circus performer who clawed his way up to ringmaster, Phineas T. Codswallop is an entrepreneurial impresario who has been a con man, grifter, sleight of hand artist, escapologist, gentleman rake, bartender, huckster, snake oil salesman and riverboat gambler.
Narrowly avoiding arrest when his circus caravan was apprehended by local authorities, Phineas is now in the market for a promising new venture with which to make a fresh, larcenous start... preferably far from here.

Friends and Contacts: 'Unique, eccentric and amazing entertainers' like bearded ladies, strong men, acrobats, conjoined twins, stone eaters, tattooed women, mind readers, poison resisters, and sundry freaks and daredevils.

Nationality: Separatist, but has spent much of his adult life in New Britannia.

Wealth: 155,000 Cr

Gear: 4500 Cr worth, including:

• Gentleman's suit of formal attire, won off the back of a drunken nobleman in a card game played completely on the up-and-up! (Cr 86)
• A double barrel Derringer pistol that never misses, 'borrowed' from a dead-eyed trickshooter! (Cr 60)
• Primitive hunting knife wrested from the deadly grip of a murderous savage in deepest darkest Zambulia! (Cr 25)
• Two decks of marked cards, apprehended from a scurrilous, swindling card cheat! (Cr 10?)
• Little green bottle of Mister C.K. Pickering's Wonderous Elixir of Vitality, sure to cure what ails you! (Cr 5?)
• A bag of marbles, won off a Chinese emperor in a game of checkers! (Cr 5?)
• Astonishing tinderbox of everlighting matches! Really! (Cr 5?)
• Set of picklocks and tools, once employed by a death-defying escape artist until his untimely passing. (Cr 10?)
• Another double barrel Derringer pistol, awarded by the crowned heads of Aquitaine for exemplary services rendered! (Cr 60)

Samuel grew up as the 7th child of a family of hardscrabble farmers and fishermen living among several log cabins on a small island in the Orkney Islands of New Britannia, somewhere a little south of Bayern and NW of the Spine of the World (A small bit of local trivia, Vinland once laid claim to the Orkneys until the territory was ceded to Britannia ... local boats still have a strong Vinland (Scandinavian) influence). With little prospects at home, he spent a lot of time on the beach. When he was 14, a sailing ship put in to replenish their fresh water supply. The ship's doctor spent some time looking over the local plant life to find some plants useful to replenish his supplies. Samuel followed the doctor about, asking questions and seeming to have a quick grasp despite little book learning. As the ship prepared to depart, the doctor having had many conversations with Samuel about his prospects suggested he come along. At first, Samuel ran errands for the doctor and learned cloth and leather craft. Scrambling about a ship, Samuel's sea legs developed nicely (+1 DEX). After several years, the doctor took him on as an apprentice where Samuel was a quick study (Medical-2). Getting some free time in port, he soon learned his way around the docks (Streetwise-1). After several more years, Samuel had learned enough to become a doctor and surgeon himself (Medical-3), he also had to defend the infirmary during a boarding action and showed quite some skill with a blade (Blade-1). His doctor mentor continued to encourage Samuel, and he had learned to read and write, and started reading the doctors publications, and eventually started correspondence with other doctors and published some articles in his own name (Scholar-2). When the ship changed ownership, Samuel decided to take leave and seek his own future. Through all his hard work, he improved his education (EDU +1) and his former captain presented him with a Premium Large Frame Revolver. His savings amounted to 30,000 cr, quite a tidy sum.

Diana wears traditional lower status Hidalgo clothing for comfort and utility. However, her outfits are quality made and tailored. She also wears a flat topped cowboy hat, two revolvers, and carries a rifle. She habitually crosses social strata as she travels far and wide. Her kit is fairly simple, rifle, pistols, ammo, cleaning gear, a change of clothes, toiletries, and some cash. Most of her money is in investments or some larger places with wealthy friends. It would take a little bit of time to liquidate. Diana enjoys social events to a degree and is on friendly terms with many single noblemen. Like many who wander, she has her secrets. Unlike some, she keeps them to herself.

[Monsieur Rose]

(Marquis) "Black" Jacques Bonnet [M] 3A4A8D Age: 46
7 Terms Noble
Administration-2, Blade Combat-0, Brawling-0, Bribery-1, Engineering-0, Hunting-0, Jack-o-Trades-1, Leader-2, Medical-0, Navigation-0, Pilot (Steam)-2, Pistol Combat-0, Rifle Combat-1, Scholar-0, Ship’s Boat (Sail)-0, Streetwise-1, Vehicle (Rowboat)-0

Description: A short man with a great presence. His dark features are lightened only by the brightness of his eyes. Quick to smile, and even quicker to dress you down, "Black" Jacques Bonnet wears all black since the attempt on his life, vowing to never again show that he has been bloodied. His clothes and manner are exquisite, but he seems to enjoy the rougher element, being seen recently in lower class areas.

Background: Born well off, Jacques has experienced the finer things in life. He was made a Baron in his twenties, allowing for plenty of wild oats and privileged hi-jinks. A nobles' life is full of surprises and intrigue, as a jealous rival showed one day. He was shot in the hip, surviving but with a lingering injury. Getting married helped raise his status, which just presented new challenges. Twenty years after being made nobility, Jacques yearns for freedom and what could have been.

Friends and Contacts: A veritable cornucopia of nobles, servants, staff, companions, and rivals. Jacques makes friends easily and is known to be quite generous in person.

Background

Origin [1d6]=2, modified to 4 (Village)

Arthur Benjamin Grayling is the fourth, and youngest, son of Jacob Grayling, a respected civil servant. His father retired early due to illness and so Arthur spent his formative years growing up in a small village until his father sent him to a private school in the city at the age of 12. As the youngest son he was given a little leeway in his career and while his brothers also entered the civil service he joined the navy. Initially he worked as a pilot and engineer, but it was in his second term that he was noticed and commissioned when his quick thinking restored the ships engines and enabled the vessel to win a battle with pirates. He was transferred to the Navies special research group and spent the rest of his career there. Being more interested in the engineering than his career he never got promoted, but he did get assigned to more and more important research, resulting in him being knighted (+2 SOC rolled on mustering out). His previous successes resulted in him being assigned as the chief engineer on an extremely important new high-pressure boiler system . Unfortunately there was an accident, resulting in a boiler exploding, causing severe damage to the ship and one death. Arthur himself was injured (which is why his dex is low). Needing to recuperate he left the navy in disgrace and decided to leave Brittania until the situation had cooled and to bring no further hurt to his families reputation.
