Senesse  |  The Red Dragon Inn  |  Dramatis Personae  |  Maps  |  Menu

Senesse is a busy city, and you're bound to run into people other than those directly controlled by other players.  While quite a few of the characters listed on this page ARE created and often played by those creators, you can be sure that even when they aren't being played, the characters are still busy doing their jobs, and it is fair to assume that you may have casual encounters with those characters.

For example, Unais, Arala and Pest are the three cooks at the Red Dragon, and they will still cook your food for you even when their players are absent or busy.  You should -not- play out any scenes that would require more than a basic knowledge of a character without consulting that characters player. 

Government | The Inn | Townsfolk | Guardsmen

Government

Naldesh, Governor of Senesse
Swarthy-skinned and tall, the current Governor of Senesse plays no favorites. Even to citizens that have parlayed favors with previous administrations or even Naldesh's superiors, much to the vexation of some of the more lawful vigilantes of the area. His administration heralded in new tight-fisted and no-nonsense reforms of government as well as an influx of camel-riding, hooka-smoking, turban-topped, caftan-wearing immigrants. Senesse just got a whole lot weirder.

Cabinet

Intisar Nagib, Personal Secretary to the Governor
Incorruptible and conservatively dressed, this strikingly exotic woman fulfills a very important task for her King and Country: Making sure that no one, absolutely NO ONE, sees the Governor without an appointment scheduled in triplicate, complete with receipt. Please take a seat. Thank you.

Khaled Berioui, Secretary of Taxation and Finance
Tax time, traditionally, has been ignored by much of the populous of Senesse. The more freewheeling residents seem to feel themselves above such rudimentary tributes to government, preferring instead to give gifts whose financial value cannot be exactly quantified-- such as keeping the Guard on it's toes. This will no longer be the case. Taxes are due, and taxes will be paid. The pudgy and generally pleasant demeanor of Khaled belies a frightening passion for collecting what's due.

Yidir Matoub, Secretary of the Interior
Yidir's primary duty is monitoring and handling the finer aspects of city maintenance, planning, and administration. Domestic licensing, business oversight, and small-claims disputes all fall under his jurisdiction.

Muhend Saidi-Sief, Secretary of the Exterior
Muhend is in charge of all aspects of governance that are associated with outside commerce and law, be it communication with other provinces or other kingdoms.

The Inn

Owners

Tobias Fel
The Fel name in Axtya is renown far and wide as a very powerful and wealthy merchant family. Tobias is the sole heir to the family fortunes and business. The slight young man made Senesse his home a short time after graduating from his studies at University, where he was something of a prodigy in the realm of illusion. He bought the Red Dragon as an investment, turning the business from a hellhole dive to a respectable commercial venture.

Young Master Fel is no longer a frequent visitor to the area since his father's health began to fail, despite his fondness for the area and how very much the burdens of family and fortune annoy him.

Brammimonde Gurthinmoch-Fel
When you ask to see the management of the Red Dragon, this is likely who you'll be confronted with. The gnome stands just over three feet tall and sports a headful of candy-apple red dreadlocks and a rather prim mode of businesswoman's dress. She isn't one to take shit from people, though most of the town sees her as a downright decent woman with a big heart and sympathy aplenty-- especially for anyone who's down on their luck, or struggling members of the less kindly-looked-upon races.

Ask around about her past and her habits and stories abound, each more unbelievable than the next. Either this little entrepreneur is a public relations spin doctor extraordinaire, or the once-Governor of Senesse is caught up in things way over her head.

Staff, NPC

Gisela, Day shift Waitstaff
Gisela is exactly the opposite of the barmaid you've imagined. She is flat as a board, shy, and keeps her mousy brown hair tucked into a loose bun at the back of her head. Only about 17, she is dedicated to her work as simple as it may be, and doesn't want to make any money on the side-- keep it in your pants, please.

She seems to live only to work and to care for her sick mother at home. In the absence of other management, it is she that keeps the insanity of the Inn to a dull roar.  As a waitress, she is efficient and quietly polite. Your food will arrive promptly and she’ll check in on you often to make sure you’re taken care of.

Lorelei, Night shift Waitstaff
Buxom, blonde and flirtatious, Lorelei is everything that a barmaid should be. It was really too bad then that she lost her job as a waitress at the old Inn not so much for turning tricks on the side, but rather for drumming up business for her night job during her day job. When she turned up pregnant, however, big-hearted Brammimonde could not bear to let the unwed mother-to-be go without a roof over her head and jobless, she was hired back as the night shift waitress.

After a suspiciously long pregnancy, Lorelei gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, who giggles and squirms on her hip as she attends to her waitressing duties. Tactful patrons will avoid making crass comments about the sturdy little tyke's silky blonde beard. The father is nowhere to be found, but Lorelei seems perfectly content.

As a non-player character, she is saucy and just a little lazy. She'll come and refill your coffee, but you'd better make sure she's looking right at you when you holler for her.

Rosamund, Swing shift Waitstaff
Rounding out the small army of unlikely waitresses is Rosamund. She looks like she was pretty when she was young, but hasn't quite succumbed to this 'aging gracefully' nonsense. Her frizzy hair has been dyed a slightly toxic shade of strawberry blonde and her eyeliner looks like it's ready to flake off like lead paint. In surprising contrast, her dresses are always high-collared and stiffly starched, coupled with grandmotherly shawls.

Any necking or swearing is met with a disapproving glare, but at least the service is good.

Staff, PC

Arala
Arala hails from Cardo, at least, that was the last place she set up shop. She left for Senesse under circumstances she would describe as ‘ just a bit strained.’ Rumor has it that her shop in Cardo is a charred black wreck. Arriving only a day after the Red Dragon Inn was rebuilt, she was quickly accepted into the position of the Red Dragon Inns cook.

Standing at a total of 3’4”, and proud of it, Arala wears her black hair tied back and braided. An expert cook, she delights in preparing bizarre dishes to suit her customers, and is always ready to try her hand at a new challenge. She often dispenses little bits of her wit along with her dishes, be it an interesting story or a practical joke.

Annoy her under threat of Soup-Nazi-style denial of service, which the ownership fully supports.

Unais
A slight young man with limp black hair and crisp features but a otherworldly moist feel about him, he is the Inn's Swing-Shift cook. He goes about his duties quietly and diligently, and any inconsistencies in wetness (be they unwelcome puddles or vases that have gone dry) are mysteriously resolved with barely a fuss when he is around.

Pest
Just under four feet tall, old and woolly, stands Pest. Normally, Gully Dwarves are indescribable aside from the incomparable filth that surrounds them in an aura of stink and muck. Pest harks from the same culture and species as the Aghar, but is remarkably clean. Cleaner than some humans, in fact.

His culinary skills are nearly unparalleled, cinching the Red Dragon's reputation as Senesse's premier eatery. More than succulent and savory enough to overlook his Aghar-Wizardry, which seems to rely on dead rats and dry bones for power.

Loud noises and fights worry him, as he became accustomed to cruel treatment and swift kicks during his long life; but abuse these days towards the Dwarf will be dealt with just as if he was any other Senessian. That is to say, it really isn't worth the wrath of both the Guard and the Government and any number of vigilantes to beat up on the simple little fellow.

Townsfolk

While you're not likely to meet everyone listed in this section, sometimes it's nice to run your character into an NPC who you didn't make up on the spot. You're free to detail your own townspeople and submit them to this list.

Faure Canbeus
Senesse's current undertaker stepped into the family business after his Uncle, Marcule, finally expired. And stopped working. In exactly that order. Nearly everyone was fine with a ghost working as the city's mortician; he worked cheap and never asked for a day off. Eventually, though, this perfect arrangement was foiled by politics and Marcule's successor stepped forward; as pale, tall, rail-thin and humorlessly demeanored as his departed predecessor. It's as if nothing had ever changed.

Solin
Solin, a very religious elderly halfling who lives on a small plot of land with her goats, operating a small but impressive herbalist and goat-milk business out of her tiny kitchen. Doing business with her demands a neighborly chat with her over a cup of gut-wrenchingly strong coffee, sweetened with blackstrap molasses and goat's cream. It's worth it.

Paesott the Fruitstand Goblin
Paesott the Fruitstand Goblin is a fine fellow. Even if he is, in fact, a goblin. He well understands that he's not easy to look at, and he's a stranger in a strange land, but he's always got the best produce in town and keeps himself and his stall immaculately well-scrubbed. He can often be found in front of his stall in the open market, cutting slices off of what ever has come in this morning with a diminutive paring knife, trying to drum up business by giving passersby a taste of his wares.

The Guardsmen

Like it or not, the city of Senesse is patrolled by a formidable force of guards, with the means to render almost all would be criminals dead or behind bars.  Expect to meet up with them if you disobey the law in any place where you might have witnesses.
