#26 – Revenant
The term “revenant†is actually a fairly generic term for any shambling corpse that reanimates itself after death. Stories of the walking dead — and there are many — are the genesis of creature people in later years have come to know as vampires. Though the modern age may have granted it an air of power, at heart the vampire is just another rotting corpse that wants to eat people.

#23 Joseph Webb – the living zombie
When bitten by the overpowering horde of the undead Accountant Joseph Webb thought he was done for. Â Several hours later he awoke in Baron Karsa’s secret laboratory where the mad scientist was perfecting a cure to zombification. As with most of Karsa’s experiments the method got a little garbled and he was able to restore Webb’s mind and more importantly his self control over the desire to needlessly tear into the flesh of the living (zombies have no digestive system). Â After the zombie outbreak was wiped out Joseph returned to his previous career as a top accountant.

He is a strong ruler with powerful magic. Few would oppose him openly but there are a few who are working in secret to have him removed. He’s not a bad person, it’s just that some of his policies are causing problems for some of the nobles. He knows someone is working against him but so far he hasn’t found out who it is.
#25 Dracon
Draco is like a dog, loyal, obedient and loves games. His favorite game is fetch and all the variations with the game such as fetch the hero’s skull or fetch the entrails of the next passerby. Sometimes the unfortunate souls don’t even know they’ve wandered into Dracon’s play time area before it is too late. Once they’ve set foot in his vicinity they’re automatically agreed to play, the other unfortunate part is that the games never end until the traveler has expired…
His sharp claws allow him to open most armor and if it doesn’t rip open, they’re thin and long enough to dig into most openings in the armor. His dome cowl provides him with protection from mental and magical disruptions from playing the game he’s currently enjoying with his current playmate. The perfect playmate for anyone.
#24 Flyt
There is nothing Flyt loves more than the giggle and laughter of babies. Like all fairies and fantasy creatures, this little feather creature brings joyous laughter into the world. He prances around floating from anything that has a tickle bone. For some strange reason, he also enjoys tickling beneath your nose like a scratch you can’t itch and eventually you just have to sneeze.
#23 Papa Norf
Papa Norf is currently on vacation from his life as town’s sorcerer. He wants to catch some sun and lay out next to the beach.

#22 Old Man Tremble
A once peaceful and protectorate society, the Ranjorc Behemoths made up the various mountain ranges providing shelter to the creatures that were insignificant beneath them. After a few thousand years, Old Man Tremble is the last of his kind. His brethren destroyed by envious gods and sadistic warlocks. He has gone into a deep slumber to hide in plain sight and as you pass near him, the ground trembles slightly as he sleeps. No longer a protector and no longer wishing to be involved in the squabbles of men or gods alike.

#25 – The Strange Schoolgirl
Nobody knows exactly who she is, or where she came from, but the only real clue to her identity is that she takes on the appearance of a first or second grader wearing a bandana and frequently carrying a backpack. Â Many say she’s a ghost. Â Others think she’s a monster disguised as a sweet little girl to eat the other kids at school. Â And few claim she has superpowers and could save (or ruin) lives.

Day 24: Dream Catcher
The Grey often attack people, young and old, by driving them mad through their dreams. The mysterious man known only as the Dream Catcher has discovered a way to combat this insidious threat. Just like the Grey, he hunts at night, leaping across roof tops and clambering fire escapes. As he stands guard over the sleeping, he can exorcise nightmares, conjure them into real, physical monstrosities, and then he battles them. His fights are brutal, and he finds himself frequently in great peril, but he will not rest, and he will not quit.
In the world of New Gaius, creatures from the Grey have invaded, and humans are a dwindling species. Beings of magic and myth have manifested to protect and integrate with the last survivors. But still, the fate of humanity is uncertain in this strange, beautiful new world.
Day 23: The Recruiter
If we are going to have a chance against the Grey, we need to build an army. And who better to wield our weapons of destruction, massive and small, than the energetic young? The teens who, before the Grey invasion, showed such promise in their electronic games and computerized simulations? And what of the boys… no, young men… just barely elbow high? Such energy, such will to do what they’re told. You don’t even know how to read yet? No problem son, I’ll just tell you where to point that gun.

Day 22: The Stone King
The Stone King rose with his ancient ken to protect humanity from the forces of the Grey. He is as devoted to the cause as any of his brethren, but he opposes many of their radical plans. Tradition, centuries old, will sustain our people. Compromise, the King says, is the the true danger. Compromise and change, that leads us into the unknown, untested, and inevitably ruin. The Stone King will bring his power to humanity’s aid, but only if we promise to cling, as he does, to old tradition and ancient law.
