Thanks Rob Conley!
We haven't been travelling together long, because we're all first level. But let's say something like "we met recently, by chance, during a storm. We all end up sharing the same overhanging ledge as shelter from the rain."
Or something like that.
Alternately the overhanging ledge can be a shallow cave, and we can start with an encounter? Or perhaps we have been travelling together since that time after hearing something large crashing around in the undergrowth, and deciding to band otgether for mutual protection.
Someone else please make a suggestion if that's a problemo or you have an alternate idea. Whatever anyone else suggests will be cool as well.
Here's me:
Orlok has pale skin with strange tints of blue (that marks him as an Avalonian, although of the lesser variety). His thinning white-blonde hair and icy grey eyes give him a slightly hardened look, and he seems to always have a slight smirk on his face. He wears a set of new-looking scale mail. His forearms (which are bare) are covered with twisting arcane-looking tattoos in the forms of lightning bolts and twisted tribal runes worked in blue ink. Over his shoulder he wears a grey and white fur cloak. When it rains he leaves it open, and he doesn't seem uncomfortable for being wet.
He also wears a simple cone-shaped helmet and carries both a shield (usually slung) and a morningstar.
