character profile + thread sample
Character Summary
Born in Mossflower, Varanus is an old monitor lizard and a herbalist by trade, with knowledge on nearly every kind of herb and plant there is in the forest -- especially those that are poison. He's an old hand at wandering, and has been all over the place in his earlier days.Location
He's willing to sell and trade his knowledge. Don't trust him too easily, though; he's dismissive, capricious at best, and about as easy to control as a herd of cats. He can spin a good story and cook a good stew, but it's in your best interest to be wary of whatever he offers because it always feels like there's something attached. Often something deadly.
Varanus has long stopped traveling. He keeps to Mossflower woods, and is most often found along the River Moss or on the fringes of the Marshlands with his barn owl companion Dirge.
Character Summary
Keta owes his entire life to the condition he was born with, the indifference to pain that kept him from making a sound when the band he was born into put him to the knife. It shouldn't be a surprise, then, that practically his entire life revolves around pain, and compensating for the absence thereof.Location
He's a curious wanderer who's beat a path around most of Mossflower, but he's also deeply unsettling, manipulative and profoundly amoral. He's looking for a way to feel, whether that means fighting, killing, hunting, or being the victim of any in turn, and he's also out to take apart anything he can find to try to solve the problem of just what essential piece he's missing.
Aside from Redwall and Salamandastron for obvious reasons, Keta can be encountered just about anywhere on the mainland his feet take him, from Mossflower Woods to the Canyonlands to the Western Shore.
Character Summary
Salvinia was a circus performer with Claude's Collective until she and her best friend Vicky were chosen by a powerful witch to carry on her legacy. She's new to life in Mossflower without her family around, but she's got Vicky, and the two are practically glued to the hip.Location
Salvinia's decidedly laid-back and mellow, with a bit of a morbid sense of humor, a competitive streak a mile wide, and a tendency to get flustered when things don't go her way. She enjoys playing pranks and can't talk about emotions to save her life, which is the source of her current predicament, and you should never, ever, threaten Vicky in front of her, because she's got a mean slinging arm.
Salvinia is always found with her best friend Vicky, and the duo are usually found roaming around Mossflower or inside Redwall Abbey.

character profile + thread sample
Character Summary
Cináed's a mountain hare from the Northlands and a member of the Fraser clan. The middle child of five siblings and the only one without a twin, he's been off on his own for most of his life and seems to be expecting to stay that way, despite the strong family link to the Long Patrol.Location
He's gruff and tactless, usually useless at small talk or being patient. Don't expect any good arguments out of him, though, because while he might be judgmental, defensive, and have something of a short temper he's quick to apologize when he knows he's screwed up. His moral compass and strong sense of justice have led him hunting vermin all across the land, despite his interest in weaponforging.
Cináed tends not to stay in one place too long, and his hunts take him all the way across the countryside, though he does occasionally stop off in Redwall Abbey or Salamandastron.
Character Summary
Orphaned at a young age, Asil grew up learning the arts of pickpocketing to survive. He kept himself and a group of other kids alive in his little port town for years until it was set upon by raiders and burned to the ground, and lived in the ruins for weeks until he was picked up by traders that he promptly robbed blind.Location
That's set the stage for Asil, an expert liar and thief who shuns any sort of emotional connection but nonetheless seems to be everyone's best friend. His particular brand of casual cruelty is a hobby, finding some sort of sadistic amusement out of others' discomfort when he's not frustrated instead. His friendly air and casual way of speaking make him seem like a bit of an idiot, at least until you turn around and he's robbed you blind.
Asil thrives wherever there's travelers to rob, most often along the unguarded paths through Mossflower Woods, but he's not above visits to any city that will let him in for pickpocketing purposes.
Character Summary
A former corsair, Hafi was born into raiding on the Blackfish; as it turned out, that life didn't quite mesh with his particular personality, much as his parents might have wished otherwise. The slave mutiny he led eliminated the crew to the last beast, and with the ship he took himself and several others to Redwall.Location
Hafi's friendly, cheerful, and a loyal friend and a fierce protector of those who can't protect themselves, despite his reluctance to kill. He has a strong sense of right and wrong and he's perhaps a bit foolhardy, with a tendency to charge into situations without thinking, but he has the skills to back himself up. He's loud and excited and boisterous, but patient enough to enjoy his hobbies, including woodcarving and making the perfect cup of tea.
Hafi lives at Redwall Abbey, leaving only to patrol the nearby edges of Mossflower on occasion; he's never far from home.
