INTRO
Ariana Jade formed the adventuring company known as the Jade Archaeological, Geographic and Submarine Society. Although the avowed purpose was to find adventure and treasure, there was always an underlying sense of mystery about it. No one is quite sure when it was started, though tales variously claim 10, 20 and 50 years ago. It’s only been officially recognized by the Court of Absalom for the past 3 years. It’s anyone’s guess what its status is in other countries, but it is known to have ‘branch’ offices in most major cities.

In any case, it does two things quite well. It gathers information from adventurers, bards and sages—from books, relics, rumors, scrolls, songs and tall tales. Then it sends out expeditions to explore and investigate that information. Most of the time it fills the expeditions with members and Jade Agents, but it also hires freelancers to pursue leads that it simply doesn’t have the manpower to do.

You are currently in the town of Diobel, on the island of Kortos, in the city-state nation of Absalom. Diobel represents the underside of Absalom... at least, that’s what the citizens of Diobel think. Not that there isn’t something similar within the confines of the city of Absalom, but somehow it all seems to be shinier than it should be.

Whether the JAGSS office in Diobel is here because of the somewhat lax law enforcement or because that same lack of law promotes information gathering is hard to say. It’s probably a bit of both.

To start with, I need a name for the character, race, and class; plus just a short sentence about personality, motivation or quirks. I just need to make sure that your concept is reasonable and/or workable. That's not to say you can't include a full character if you are so motivated.

Example: Raxxo Hoogenboomer, Dwarf, Gladiator; master of net and gladius; drinks lots of ale and smokes stogies.
