The Player Characters

This Quickstart Adventure is designed to be played with a Director and 4-6 players.

Generally speaking, if you are less experienced with tabletop role-playing games, you may wish to play with more players, and to play more slowly. This way, everyone can learn the rules together at a comfortable pace, and you will likely be at an advantage due to your numbers. If you are a more experienced group looking to try Mythmaster for the first time, you may wish to play with fewer characters so that you can explore the nuances of the systems and the player abilities more carefully. Very likely, however, you will ‘go to war with the army you have’; however many you are will dictate the size of your group, regardless of experience level. This is fine.

Because Character Creation is a rich and unique system offering a range of approaches and strategies, many players will prefer to explore the rules of play before engaging with the richness of Character Creation. To this end, this Quickstart Adventure includes six pre-generated characters. These characters are custom-tailored to fit the adventure and its context. Certainly, if you already have Mythmaster characters, and you would like to play this adventure, you can — though the Director may need to customize the initial conditions to get the adventure off on the right track.

The six characters included in this adventure are linked below, and are downloadable as prinatbale PDF files for you to use. Ideally, players will choose their characters from the top of the list, proceeding downward, as the characters most critical to the completion of the objectives of the adventure are higher in the list.

Valer Dumalc Creek

Is a spriggan priest, affiliated with the Church of the Blessed Union. An accomplished healer, and a more than adequate warrior, they will provide a sturdy foundation for the group, and a decisive focus on the goals of the adventure.

The Honorable Ignaciu Mauro Zgeseanu III

Heir to his family’s titles and lands in Zgesi, Mauro is a high-born human, who still needs to prove himself. Acting on behalf of the Grain Bank of Bulostioi, this will be his opportunity to show he can handle the complex challenges he will face when he is named Visconte Zgesi.

Irina Vulpu

A canis officer with the Order of the Flaming Sword. Quick and capable, but cautious, she is results-oriented and ready to do whatever is necessary to ensure she survives getting the job done.

Kimetz "Cosmin" Terezeta-Mirenezeta-Liliz

A gnomish professor with the Colegiu Dileniu of the Eastern College. Clever and whimsical, though sometimes easily distracted, his capability in destruction and illusion magics is well known.

Mariara Stoica

A dwarven warrior affiliated with the Order of Golmongarion. A formidable combatant, she is fiercely determined to support the party’s mission and will stop at nothing to see it through.

Vivienne-Eve Innoviva

An avian traveling scholar from the Ministry of Music in Poglia, Senecia, Vivienne-Eve has a special passion for art, nature, and ancient societies. Invited on a 'Tuloszian adventure' by her friend, Cosmin Terezeta, she is excited to leave behind the dusty halls of the university for some real field work.

Additional Character Files

While the PDF files linked above are all you need to begin playing the Quickstart Adventure immediately, for those interested in their backstories, how they were created using the Character Generator, or for those who wish to spend earned experience and continue to evolve these characters through play, perhaps beyond the completion of the Quickstart Adventure, there are other other files that may be of interest or use.

Included below, for each of the Quickstart characters, are links to the following:

Backstory & Life Events: a PDF file detailing the character's backstory, as expanded from the Life Events they rolled during Character Creation, including information about any benefactors, allies or enemies, and information about their faction.
Character Generator JSON: the JSON (save file) for the character, which can be loaded into the Character Generator if you wish to continue the character's progression with earned experience.
