Day 28, 29, 30: Summoner Jay and his Elementals

Jay was most talented summoner in the academy. While his peers struggled to call on basic globs of water and floating flames, he was creating wurms and drakes from bizarre combinations of material. For him, the skill is almost automatic, his mood flooding into these strangely intelligent creatures.

Jay’s Pitchfire Lurker is a creepy little character. It comes from the black ashes and smoldering goo at the bottom of flames recently died. It sulks around angrily, then flares up into fiery anger at unexpected moments.

Jay’s Bramblethorn Guardian is a bizzare creature. It bulges with entangled stones and scratchy thorns, and does not respond to beck or call. But when Jay or his friends are in trouble, it becomes frighteningly protective and charges into danger without hesitation.

Day 27: Genius Schnazz

In New Gaius, goblins run in great packs. Usually they pester everyone, looting human refugee camps, setting fires, pouncing on bands of grey wanderers, starting wars for fun. They don’t have much reason or order to their mischief making. One lone goblin, Schnazz, is both blessed and cursed. He can speak magical words to put the light of the sun in a single stone, or slow time to give himself a moment to think. Other goblins look to him to put some method to their madness, humans have learned to trust him to lend words of wisdom. Either way, he is tired of being smarter than everyone around him, and tired of no one taking his advice as he wishes they would.

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.

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.

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 will bring his power to humanity’s aid, but only if we promise to cling, as he does, to old tradition and ancient law.

Day 21: The Necralyst

She has seen the other side. There is peace, there is rest, there is soft embrace. Just give up this life and follow her. She won’t force us, she won’t get angry, she just wants us to experience the tranquility she knows awaits. When we’re ready, she’ll lead us beyond the veil, where we belong.
