BY ERAN "SABRE RUNNER" ARBEL .UTB)TEKAR (Doc PERSON) "rll tell you what | told the Watch officers who interviewed me after. We were al intrigued with this stranger that came into the inn. Honestly, he looked like rman mixed with a dog. He sniffed the air as if ee knew what was coming, Later that night, some idiot spilled his drink on the table's candle on the drapes of the window. The whole place went up in flames so fast we could barely react, Everyone rushed out. The stranger? He rushed in. While | was waiting outside, | saw him gin and out at least six times caring or elbing to evacuate one or two people at atime. When it was all over, he was covered in soot, his, eyes ere bulging and his tongue was sticking ‘out. But about a dozen people are alive today because of hirn.” — Anonymous Waterdhavian -_-eeeYQO|Ql|!™!_|_|l ‘Coming from the far reaches of Luiren where they used to have a flourishing society near the hallling settlements there. The rising water level caused by the Spellplague has forced them out and some of them decided to not return and continue journeying onwards, exploring the world, FAMILY FRIENDLY ‘The Tekar are very family oriented, usually considering tribes and villages as just one big extended family. They take care of each other and are often welcoming and very hospitable, But, as their lowlier kin, they are also cursed with the occasional wanderlust and at times, a Tekar will just decide to start walking in one direction and keep going, only returning home when they get bored or homesick. FIERCELY LoyAL ‘The stories that abound speak about a legend that the ‘Tekar were created by an ancient experiment to uplift 3 race of dogs. Ifany written history ofthis ever existed none of ithas yet to be found andl asking the Tekar themselves provides mostly resignations as they care not forthe past or future, only the now. However, if this is true, it explains the Tekar's unfailing loyalty to any creature unless they were hurt by it. And so, Tekar out and about lend a helping hand wherever one is needed, they are charitable and helpful never go back on a promise, and tend to stick, around where they feel they are needed. They are ‘comforting, warm, and stick around wherever they think they are needed. “Tekar don't care much for material wealth, preferring the ‘wealth of companionship, company and connection, ‘TRUE FRIENDS you make a good impression on a Tekas, especially ifyou have secured their friendship, good luck getting ri of them. (Over a long time, their caring could get overbearing. They ‘would stick with you, help you with whatever they think they could, try to accompany you wherever you go and, overall be very clingy. But, in a jam, you could probably find no better ally. A ‘Tekar friend will never abandon you, follow you to the ends of the earth, and might even protect you with their own body. GUARDIANS AND CONFESSIONERS ‘Tekar are equally as comfortable on the road as they are in the city. Only some of wandering Tekar are adventurers and some are storytellers, bards, hitchhikers and as such. Ifyou find them outside their home it will usually be in a security position on a caravan, as a confessioner of people's troubles or a general assistant, They don't tend to converge towards religion or magic as they prefer the simple things But itis not surprising to find them in priestlike capacity comforting people and helping them with what ails them. Handling a Tekaris also quite simple. Ifyou share with them, treat them kindly and don't betray them, you could have a friend for life, Repaying them for deeds done is as easy as paying for their expenses and a kind word of thanks, ‘TEKAR NAMES faking a cue from their supposed ancestors, Tekar names are usually happy, positive, active and energetic ones. They typically don't have a family name. For them, anyone can be family and the family unit could contain even hundreds of individuals at a time, Some Teker, trying to take inspirations from other races to fit in more, tend to copy ‘naming conventions to give themselves an air of similarity. ‘Though, doing so, the result is usually more comical than elegant. ‘Tekar Names: Rex, Max, Hopper, Lager, Thumper, Boxer, Schnappy Omnomnomus Mozart IIT ‘TEKAR PERSONALITY While personality traits, bonds and flaws available through the background part of character creation, feel free to use the following tables to further customise your specific TTekar character.‘The Tekar Motivation table can be used to explain your place in the group or your reason for this life of adventure. ‘TEKAR MOTIVATIONS 148 Motivation | 1 Afellow adventurer saved my life once. | owe them, 2.
