Name: Ludolf Van der Zee
Race: Human
Career: Vampire Hunter
Main Attribute: Int
Description: A veteran Vampire Hunter from the Drakwald, after hearing rumors of the so-called Vampire Coast, he decided to embark for the New World to continue his mission. Many consider him paranoid or crazy, but he prefers to define himself as well prepared, afterall it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.
Here is my idea, he is basicaly a Vampire Hunter with the Paranoid Trait i created earlier in the thread. He should be both useful and amusing to read abaout. Especialy how he sees enemies and spies everywere and booby traps everything he can.

"You think you'll find a Vampire in the ruins of Zlinti, house of Sunstones?"
"AHA! SEE?! You think I won't find any! That's why it's a perfect hiding place, because nobody would ever expect it! It's ridiculous! That means they're probably there, giggling at us."

Is more than one allowed? Are wizards permitted?
I'd say post up to ten if you'd like, always nice to have variety in the selection (And rotation through the tavern).
Wizards should be Early Journeymen. Lacking real battle-spells, reliant on petty magic and cantrips plus a handful of lesser coloured spells, hungry for experiences and fresh enough off their apprenticeships that they haven't the time, finances nor stability to settle in for any deep research.
"Ludolf, stop booby trapping your quarters! Its the third time a servant had to go to the hospital this week!"
"If they didn't want to get hurt, they shouldn't have been they shouldn't have searched through my luggage! Why were they snooping araound my room?! That is quite SUSPECT!"
"They were in your room because they were CLEANING you crazy maniac!"
"That is what THEY want you to think!"
Name: thyriol tollendor of saphery
Race:Asur
Career: journey man celestial wizard
Main Attribute: learning
Description: A young man for an elf with big ambitions and being the youngest of his siblings wishes to rise himself and his house position that often clouds his mind. He wishes to go lustria and train with the astromancers of tlaxtlan like his ancestors And return to ulthuan with all knowledge and prestige that would definitely come under tutelage of such masters of the art magic and bring to his family name.
Brash and arrogant in his power he will become an apprentice to the great masters of tlaxtlan and prove to his detractors that he is powerful and that he will bring glory to his name and house.
First time making a character and i wanted to have a brash young elf wizard wishing to train under the slann to be one of the characters and it would be funny that he wants to grow strong fast but his master takes decades long naps that frustrates him so much but there's still thing of if they accept him.

Race: Vampire
Career: Scout
Main Attribute: Martial
Description: A scion of Aborash's bloodline, he escaped the Witch-Hunters of the Empire. He wants to test his strength against the beasts of Lustria and taste their blood. He's one of the few vampires who can resist sunlight.
Name: Miguel De Luca
Race: Human
Career: Estalian Diestro/Highwayman
Main Attribute: (Dip/Mar/Int/Lea): Mar
Description: One might reasonably assume there are places closer to home to hide from the long arm of the law, but never let is be said that Miguel De Luca was one for common sense when adventure called. After all he had learned that when you rob a coach at gunpoint on Imerial roads that is called 'a hanging crime', but when you rob a band of Norscans returning to their ships with loot that's called 'honest spoils'. Norsca though is a mite cold for his blood, so Lustria it is
Name: Jorl One Eye
Race: Dwarf
Career: Burgher/Shieldbreaker
Main Attribute: (Dip/Mar/Int/Lea): Mar
Description: Born far from the deep holds of the Karaz Ankor Jorl might have lived a long and peaceful life as a tailor and cobbler if it had not been for the plague that swept though Nuln three years past. As such things go it was far from the worst, but the hand of the plague god is as fickle as it is merciless, killing two of his borhters and the kyvin he had hoped to wed. Swron to slay the servants of Nurgle wherever he may find them more by chance than by intent he found himself on the shores of Lustria
Name: Dera the Deft
Race: Halfling
Career: Bone Picker/ Cat Burgler
Main Attribute: (Dip/Mar/Int/Lea): Int
Description: Being an halfling in Stirland is dangerous enough, being a halfling orphan worse. Dera learned from a very young age that the Big Folk had no love for her and that they best she could expect of them was to be used and cast away,m but she refused to be worn down or killed. She dragged himself from the muck of Wurtbad to the roofs and balconies of the well off It was little more than a whim that sent her on a ship to Lustria of all places, or so at least she told herself, though he only made his bags when she heard that a large contingent of other halfligs had also made their way to the colony. Perhaps that's her chance to start anew.
Name: Professor Wilhelm Ziegenhirte
Race: Human
Career: Scholar
Main Attribute: (Dip/Mar/Int/Lea): Lea
Description: Many a promising career have been ruined by strange theories. One of those that will not die is the existence of a race of subterranean beastmen under the cities of the Empire. Driven from his teaching position, even his home city of Nuln the professor plans to find one of the ratmen along with proof of their foul technology even if it kills him. It will probably kill him

Name: Ernst Schicklgruber
Race: Human
Career: Merchant
Main Attribute: Lea
Description: The third son of a minor merchant family in Marienburg, Ernst was shipped off on this expedition by his father in the vague hope that he could make something of himself in a mercantile manner, rather than the scholar he would much rather be. All of his long hours in the library studying Imperial heraldry and farflung languages as a child don't seem as if they'll help Ernst start a business of any sort in the hellhole of Lustria, but he's willing to at least try rather than mope around until he dies of some plague or other—he's always been an optimist, he says…

Race:Middenlander
Career:journey man priest of ulric
Main Attribute: Mar
Description: Young handsome ferociously headstrong Stephen wishes to make a name for himself in the colony and establish his God ulric as a prominent God in the New settlement but he's not as dogmatic as the many in his faith and respects Sigmarites if they respect him as well and would work with as brothers in arms if they truly say that ulric and sigmar are equals.

Basically Steve Trevor but german and believes In big grandpa ulric that definitely only wants strictly cordial relations with Amazon's. Wink

Career: Wizard
Main Attribute: Learning
Description: An amber wizard who recently completed her apprenticeship under the highborn Eusapia Balacañon and now seeks fame, power, and wealth in Ghur-rich Lustria. A noble herself, Ghur only emphasises her assertive personality, but she's uncommonly supportive of the lower classes so long as she receives the respect and privileges she believes she's owed.
Name: Bullo Brambledown
Race: Halfling
Career: Knight
Main Attribute: Martial
Description: One of the Mootland's famed ram riders, he rides the ferocious battle ram King Baron and ventures to Lustria to sate the wanderlust for which his clan is known. Long of eyebrow (waxed and styled) and adequately able to hold his drink, he gets along with dwarfs pretty well.

Name: Johann Klinger
Race: Human
Career: Dung Collector / Sewer Jack
Main Attribute: (Dip/Mar/Int/Lea): Mar
Description: A poor peasant from Middenland, he has made his living, if you can call it that, by gathering heaps of crap wherever he could find them and selling them as fuel, fertilizer or even alchemical ingredients. His rather inglorious career was interrupted one day by a bunch of misfits, that wanted to shake him for the few coins he had to his name. Using his trusty shovel and immense endurance, the perks of his job, he made quick work of them. Thinking, that he could put these skills to better use, he managed to get a job as a sewer jack in Middenheim. There, he became something of a local legend, due to his fearlessness, immunity to all diseases and great skill at using his shovel (which he never abandoned) in pacifying any hoodlums, smugglers or beasts found under the streets of the city. He took jobs no other man was willing to take and went to the darkest and most infested places in the sewers, always emerging with the putrid stench of victory. Known jokingly as the "Shovel Knight", he had to make a quick getaway from his stable life after smiting some large (ok, very large) rodents and taking their tails as proof. His report was met with a visit by a local Witch Hunter, who had the bright idea of threatening a man, that knew no fear. Naturally, he ended up with his face caved in from a well-placed shovel swing. Now, Klinger has assumed, that a change of scenery would be a sound career choice. Preferably somewhere in Lustria, where his immunity to disease, lack of fear and masterful use of a shovel, both as a tool and a fighting appliance, can come in handy.
By far my favourite character, that I rolled out some time ago to create a few NPCs. A ludicrous profession, very high combat stats, resistance to disease and a lack of fear. He proved to be one of the best warriors created that day.

I LOVE this one. I will absolutely vote to get him. He fits very well with our other plans.
Anyway, another my idea.
Name: Leofric Bauer
Race: Human
Career: Marksman
Main Attribute: Martial
Description: A jovial Hochlander sharpshooter famous in his home province for his great skill as a Beastmen hunter and his prodigious mustache. Leofric has traveled to the New World in search of adventure and determined to protect his fellow citizens from the dangers of the jungle.
Another great character i will absolutely vote for.
Lots of fun ideas in the thread today.
Name: 'Louis' of Parravon
Race: Human
Career: Hedge Wizard
Main Attribute: (Dip/Mar/Int/Lea): Lea
Description: While certainly not common tales of women earning a knight's spurs in secret are oft on a bard's lips. Stranger by far would be talk of one born in Bretonia with the gift of magic yet not wishing to take on the mantle of a Damsel. Many a peasant girl had vanished from her bed in the dead of night only to return years later, a Damsel of the Lady, saying nothing of how they came into their power. But when the fey slipped into Louisa's bedroom some five years past her magic lashed out with the the power they most feared, fire. The fey cursed her as it burned to never know peace and rest in the borders of the Lady's land. Whether those words held arcane truth arcane or just the terror of their telling the girl fled that night into the wilds. She was fortunate enough to be taken in by a caravan of Strigany before her power could consume her, though the old seer little time to teach her before her passing. Deciding to set off in search of a teacher on her own Louisa chose to do so in a boy's guise, reasoning that she would be safer that way traveling alone. She is still weary of the strange goddless wizards of the Colleges, but a journey over the sea to Lustria where she heard the elves lived seemed to her the best chance to undo the curse the fey had laid upon her.
Note: It's up to you @Pillowsperky if she has actually been cursed. Hedge-wizard is a basic carier in the RPG so she has even less magic than one of those early Journeymen would have, though she makes up for it by being more experienced at the actual journeying part from her time with the Strigany. Most of that Learning is not magic, it is stffl like herbcraft and animal-doctoring.

Keep in mind guys that the descriptions ought to be concise.
Unlike the other characters I've submitted, I haven't played this one in a game of WFRP, just thought up her name and career while proofreading Lustria.
Name: Pandora the Pioneer
Race: Human
Career: Trailblazer
Main Attribute: Diplomacy
Description: An experienced explorer who's already had some measure of success in Lustria and now seeks to return for more. Confident, charismatic, and multilingual, she's well-practised in enlisting fellow adventurers into her group and securing sponsors for her expeditions.

Can y'all summarise and shorten these two's descriptions? Down to 1 or two sentences, or near enough. Gotta fit these into a list with others.
Bretonian peasant girl who killed a fey as she was being 'recruited' as a potential damsel. Fearing she was cursed she ran away and joined a Strigany caravan where she was taught the basics of magic. After her teacher died she adopted a male personal and headed to Lustria on the vague notion that she can find elves to help with her 'curse'.
