Spoiler: A rather Stark combination (click to show/hide)

Name: Sif and Ulf Stonehearth

Age: 18 and 28

Description: Despite the misleading name at the top, the two aren't married. Sif is adopted and Ulf is her companion. Ulf is the one who leads, having been a leader in the army on his own planet. Sif is one of the monster people, a direwolf according to... pretty much anyone who knows her. Ulf is the only one who gets away with not referring to her correct species. Sif stands at six feet and two inches tall and her legs up to her mid-thigh and her arms up to her elbows are covered in gray and black fur, like what she has on her head, and her ears, and her tail. Her eyes are a piercing red that could strip the white off marble if she glares hard enough. Somehow Ulf is even taller, he stands at six feet and six inches tall, his body tanned like Sif's. His eyes are a cold blue, like the ice of his homeland. He's muscled, extremely so, even compared to his muscular companion. It must be from hefting around that sword that's the size of his friend. They already know all the jokes about doggy style, you're just going to embarrass your self if you try.

About the rolling overhaul: probably would be a good idea to define what each increment (+1, +2, +3) corresponds to in terms of qualitative description - such as what exactly a +1 indicates in terms of ability - I'm guessing somebody adept at using a skill? From there, describe a +2, a +3, a +4, a -1 and a -2, hopefully in simple terms.

In any case, probably would be good to put up a chart of examples of things or general principles behind what you can do at particular skill levels.
