Finn Schaaf

Born and raised in the heart of Minnesota, Finn was that one guy who was content to spend his time in the library. Perusing knowledge led him to the top of his class with dreams of changing the world, but instead wound up with a soul-crushing job with a mega-corporation.

Once there, Finn worked as an electrical engineer specializing in wireless communications systems. Finn always kept his head down to avoid unwanted attention, but that never worked and was always being pulled in on whatever new project needed his expertise. As a result, Finn was constantly overworked. With no time for a social life, Finn’s only friend is Rufus, a co-worker in another department.

Now, in this new mystical land, Finn struggles to make sense of things and find a place for himself. Maybe even find a way home.

Kuroraki

The youngest of his family of scavengers (a more polite term for thief) from the island nation of Utaiesto in the West. He spent his childhood rummaging through the ruins of the numerous town destroyed in the war with Nodshadan, looking for anything of value to sustain his family through the famine that followed the war.

During one of his many scavenges thru the burnt out shells of homes, he discovered Carmine Mage of Rasrak’s enchanted armor. Having no way to carry the armor home, Kuroraki opted to wear it for the long walk home.

Unbeknownst to him, someone had reforged the armor to fit a more average stature and damaged the enchantment, cursing it. The enchantment prevented harm to the armor and the wearer. The malfunction of this enchantment that would repair the armor instead fused the armor together and sealed him in.

Kuroraki had spent six years searching for the Carmine Mage of Rasrak, and now that he’s found him, and he can not help, Kuroraki is unsure what to do.
