Name: Logem Branchsyrup
Race: Wolverine Man (size 45; 240 points)

Logem works as a syrup wrangler far in the frosty north, harvesting sweet nectar from maple trees to sell to the humans of The Northern Confederacy.

One day he is knocked unconscious by a flying log. It was inevitable. He wakes with no memory of who he is or what his true purpose could be. He has strange dreams of a mysterious blue metal and has developed strange tics and habits, like smoking cigars and calling people "bub." He yearns to find this blue metal and put it to use, and he has heard the Gladiator Tournament is the best place to start.

Skills:
  • Talented Swordwolverine 105
  • Proficient Dodger 75
  • Adequate Discipline 9
  • Adequate Observer 9

Equipment:
  • Iron shortsword 40
  • Linen Shirt (with Maple Leaf logo) 0

Remaining: 2

Agea Velites su Theramachea
Champion of Lady Winter. 

Gremlin - 310

knife user - talented 105
Dodger - proficient 75
shield user - Skilled 40
Fighter - Adequate 9
Discipline - Adequate 9
Observer - Novice 3


Gear
Bronze Dagger - 32
feather wood buckler - 22.5

295

Who knows why the lady Maeve chose Agea Velites su Theramachea as her champion.  No one was even sure why she decided to send one to the dwarfs tournament at all.  Dwarfs masters of Iron and Steal, bane of all the fair folk.  She could be capricious and cruel, but she could also lay deep plans and subtle. 

But it was not for Agea to question the decisons of the Lady of Winter, so he took up his fathers sword and a new shield and headed up to the Dwarf fortress to fight and maybe die for the glory of winter and the honor of Theramachea.

Purahpapapa! Purahpapapa!
A squad of little creatures dressed in hides march in front of a litter led by a herald playing a horn instrument. The herald stops playing and says in a high-pitched voice,
"Step aside for the Great Mother, Queen Regina Formicarium! "
The soldier ant women on the side of the litter pull back the curtains on the front to reveal the magnificent insect inside. As big as a lion, the ant woman queen smiles out to the gathered people. Her chitin is glossy, her robes pristine and she wields a beautiful copper spear.

Adjusted, thanks!

Just a few more issues and you should be set
-Novice Wrestler is 4 points, not 5
-With Novice Wrestler factored in, your current points leave you with 10.5 points left over. Up to you if you want to spend those points now, or bank them for later. Otherwise, the rest looks good :>

Name: Nostrotortoise

Race: Desert tortoise (245 Points)

Skills:
Skilled Maceman - 50
Competent Shield User - 24
Novice Discipline - 3

Equipment:
Iron Mace - 52
Shield - 60
Mail shirt - 24
Chain Leggings - 16
Helm - 12
Spent: 241
Remaining: 4

Backstory: Nostrotortoise is an old, well-respected priest of the Burning Sun, a small religion from a faraway desert. One night, as he gazed upon the gentle slopes of the shifting sands that he called home, Nostrotortoise received a vision from his god. A great, fiery figure descended from the heavens, decrying the small amount of followers left of his once great religion. The Avatar of the Burning Sun tasked Nostrotortoise with taking part in a grand gladiatorial event, so as to spread the word and gain more believers. The Avatar warned him, however, that should he fail, the small desert village that Nostrotortoise called home would receive the burning judgement of a vengeful god. Taking up arms, Nostrotortoise leaves on his journey, for the sake of his people, and his very soul.

What material do you want your shield, mail shirt, chain leggings, and helm to be made from? Depending on the type, your build may exceed your point cost, or leave you with some extra points to play around with

Sorry I forgot about material. I would like the shield to be oak wood, and for the armor to be copper, which I believe would send me over my remaining points. If it does, I will ditch the leggings to free some points up.

Lets see how far this fella can go!
Lêrush Idar (wretched dog)

Wolf Man (230)

Proficient Striker (60)
Competent Fighter (18)
Novice Biter (4)
Novice Kicker (4)

Iron Mail Shirt (48)
Iron Helm (24)
Iron greaves (36)
Iron Gauntlets (16)
Iron High Boots (20)

Clad entirely in cold iron, little and less is known about this enigmatic warrior, other than his devotion to a quest in the service of his mistress.  What the goal of this quest is, none can say, but it has brought him back time and again to the arena, and each time, those he faces are destined for death.
