Name: Pebble Wavereaver
Race: Halfling
Class: Monk (Way of the Open Hand)
Background: Sailor
Alignment: Neutral Good

Personal History/Personality/Motivations:

Pebble may be a monk as far as the rules are concerned, but she would in no way describe herself as such. She considers herself more of a "brawler of the brine." An extension of the sea's ability to ebb and flow. Both a ferocious crashing wave and a mysterious gentle tidepool, depending on the situation. She is a protector of her ship and its crew, whoever that may be.

She usually accepts mercenary work, you see. After her ship of origin (a merchant ship called The Bobbin) sank long ago, Pebble took odd jobs traveling the world. As her skills grew, she became a one-woman security force for smaller ships. Sure, she couldn't take on an entire fleet on her own, but she had certainly thwarted a ship or two of would-be pirates from time to time.

Recently, however, she learned of the threat to the biggest ship of them all: Her entire plane of existence. Thanks to Archmage Mordenkainen, Pebble was now aware of the threat to all of the souls in her realm. And what kind of sailor would she be if she allowed such a threat go unanswered? Pebble made her preparations and headed to the Obsidian Citadel to see how she could help.

Description:

Pebble is average in height and weight for a halfling. She has white hair, pale skin, and grey eyes wise beyond their years. On her back is a large skull-themed tattoo, but it is usually covered up by all of her typical sailor's attire. She carries with her a magical shortsword, a trusty harpoon, and a collection of other useful knickknacks. Pebble likes to have a good time, but even when she is relaxing she still gives off a vibe of eternal vigilance.
