Thats me. Gosh I dont know what to say. Um. Im a Physicians Assistant. I wanted to be a doctor, but couldnt afford medical school. I never had many friends in school because I couldnt stand how nobody wanted to get to know me as anything more than the hot girl on the chess team. Im glad thats changing, but Im too used to a small circle of friends. Relationships are more meaningful that way. All that notwithstanding, its my blood to help people. People tell me I overwork myself as if its a problem. All I need time for is video games with my foster brother, chess, yoga, and making people smile. And Im good.

in my 27 centuries being on this earth, I have seen many changes in human culture. the only constant being change. I am a dragon born in china who was a student of kong fu-tze while he was alive. once buddhism arrived in my homeland, I became a practitioner. As is normal with my kind, I can change form and am often seen as an old chinese gentleman. (picture a person about 6' wearing a yellow robe as well as a yin/yang pendant encircled by a winged gold dragon)

abilities in both forms: magic, shapeshift, weather control, size shift
as human: add martial arts

flaw: very cynical
philosopher, historian

"Hey there, cutter, it's your deal. Who am I? Well, besides the guy who relieved you of that pot last hand, call me Ante. Just a debonair ne'er-do-well taking advantage of what Sigil has to offer. Bah, I'll fold this hand, 7-2 off-suit. My job? My my, at least buy me dinner first... a bit of this, a bit of that. Enough to make more at tables like this. However, I think I need to call it here for the day...

"Oh. You followed me outside. Well then. Yeah, I know what you're really after. Got a tip on you well ahead of time, and I'll be direct -- stay out of this deal. If you're talking to me, you're talking to a Trade Prince's direct representative, and no, I won't tell you which one. If you pursue this further, well... you won't find me, but I'll find you. See, berk, I can be anyone. I can be anywhere. I could be the man smiling as he delivers your newspaper, the woman selling flowers on the street, your uncle you haven't seen in years. All the while I'll be watching, waiting, and when the time is right, you won't even see me strike. Don't take you for a mage, so like most Primes, you'll just be clueless. Stand down, and go home.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a rabble on another world that I need to babysit. And a scrumptious little blonde elf whose heart I've yet to break..."

Highlights:
-Age 96 (due to Sigil's strange temporal situation, he's effectively about 21 both physically and culturally).
-Class: Wild Mage Sorcerer 14 / Rogue 1
-Alignment: Neutral Evil
-Profession: Corporate espionage on behalf of the interplanar trade empire O.R.T. Recently reassigned to an adventuring party on the prime material plane.
-Specialties: Infiltration, illusions, disguises, diplomacy, probability manipulation
-Hobbies: Gambling, clothes shopping, hustling, absorbing other mages' spells, seducing women and taking pleasure in breaking their hearts afterward.
-The latter bit him in the ass, as the "scrumptious blonde elf" was actually a level 15 former adventurer -- and a yandere who just found her darling~. A kid is on the way, and he was forced to put a ring on it.
-Has a ready wardrobe of nine different shirt, vest, and tie combinations, plus four sets of cuff links and six pairs of shoes. His suit jackets and pants are made from illusory material so he can change their color to match his outfit.
-Kind of a bitch in a physical altercation.
-Ideal: "Only three things matter in life: Get paid; get laid; and lemonade."

"What am I doing with a surfboard? Please. Just because I'm pretty and popular, it doesn't mean I can't surf. It's not just for lazy stoners, you know. I happen to be the sixth ranked female surfer in the world under 21, and I won't stop until I'm the best on Earth, period. Surfing helps me relax, which I need, since there's a lot of things in life that stress me out. My parents tried the whole 'tiger mom' thing with me until I got to high school and they realized it was driving me crazy... then they started pushing me too far in the other direction, always trying to get me to slow down and have fun, which is sometimes just as bad! And don't get me started on my friends... I mean, I love them, but sometimes it gets frustrating when they're not as focused on winning as I am! I guess that's on me though, and I really am working on it. Yoga helps, and there's nothing like going out to the beach and finding a nice quiet spot to sit down, close my eyes, and listen to the waves. Maybe I'll hop on my board and catch one... there's always time to practice for my next competition."

Basics:
-Age 18, 5' 7''
-Born in San Francisco, California, to Japanese parents who immigrated to America when they were young
-She's currently studying business at Stanford University
-Learned to surf when she was nine, and continued doing it ever since, mostly as a hobby to relieve stress, but also because she was good at it and enjoys being good at things. She's also skilled in other extreme sports which she regularly competes in with her friends. She's very athletic, probably the best pure athlete in her group, though her best friend (who she loves dearly but argues with all the time) is still a better skateboarder than her.
-Was the "queen bee" of her middle school and quite popular in high school. She's still a bit stuck up, but is working on improving herself, and meditates to help with this.
-She's a perfectionist who tends to fixate on certain flaws, sometimes in others, but especially in herself. This can lead to bouts of deep regret over people she's hurt in the past during some of her meaner episodes, and episodes of intense self-loathing. She's the kind of person who tends to avoid apologizing when she should, and then over-apologizes later on.

John "Spirit" Davison
https://imgur.com/a/2EDcTrA

Hi! You wanted me to introduce myself right? Well um... My name is Spirit, and I'm almost 10 years old! I'm working with my friends, the Justice League of No Man's Land, to help save Gotham after that big earthquake destroyed it and those jerks in the government decided to trap everyone here. Lots of people think I'm too young to be a superhero, but I can help so I'm going to anyway!

Additional notes:
- Real name: John Davison.
- His parents died early in his life, leaving him to be raised by his brother, Jack.
- Was captured by cannibals and nearly dead by the time Jack found him. Jack gave his life in order to save Spirit's.
- Jack's ghost is now bound to Spirit and can possess him temporarily
- His powers are invisibility and healing, so he believes it's his job to keep the rest of the team alive
- Is easily frustrated when people look down on him because of his age.
- Has a tendency to enter into conversations uninvited
