The Dapper Brutes
The Dapper Brutes are a band of adventurers known as much for their flair as for their fearlessness. They travel the land dressed in fine coats, tailored armor, and stylish accessories, making just as strong an impression in the tavern as they do on the battlefield. For them, presentation is half the fight; they believe that when you look like champions, people will treat you like champions. Behind their polished appearance, however, lies a unit bound by loyalty and proven by countless trials.
Group Dynamic
The Dapper Brutes’ strength lies not only in their talents but in their contrasts: Alexander’s booming confidence, Eddie’s biting wit, and Kaede’s quiet wisdom. To outsiders, they look like an unlikely trio bound by vanity and ego, but in truth, their loyalty to one another runs deep. They fight in perfect sync: Alexander draws the front line, Eddie strikes from behind with arcane precision, and Kaede shifts the battlefield itself with nature’s fury. Despite their polish, they are not without flaws. Alexander’s pride can lead them into unnecessary risks, Eddie’s arrogance sometimes alienates allies, and Kaede’s reticence makes negotiations difficult. Yet together, they shine—a band of misfits dressed like nobility, feared by their enemies, admired (or envied) by fellow adventurers, and loved by crowds who always remember the name: The Dapper Brutes.Alexander Waterworth — Half-Orc Barbarian, Leader
Alexander commands attention the moment he enters a room. Towering and broad-shouldered, he tempers his raw barbarian strength with surprising refinement: a meticulously trimmed beard, tailored waistcoats built for his frame, and a silver-headed cane that doubles as a weapon. He claims the title of leader not by force, but by charisma and certainty—he speaks boldly, laughs loudly, and carries the kind of confidence that makes people want to follow. While his rage in battle is a terrifying sight, he prides himself on never losing control of his comrades’ trust. Style signature: Always wears a crimson silk cravat, no matter the battlefield. Personality: Boisterous, proud, a little vain, but deeply protective of his companions. Quirk: Keeps a notebook of inspiring speeches and one-liners he practices for dramatic moments.Current Power Level Relative to the Party:

Eddie Sanders — Human Wizard, The Mind of the Party
Where Alexander provides the brawn, Eddie provides the brains. A sharp-tongued, quick-witted wizard, Eddie is the kind who always has a spell prepared and a smug remark to go with it. His clothes are less flashy than Alexander’s but always immaculate: pressed coats, polished boots, and rings on every finger. He relishes being underestimated, often letting enemies assume he’s “just another scholar” before unleashing devastating precision magic. Eddie serves as the party’s tactician, balancing Alexander’s instinct-driven leadership with careful planning. Style signature: A wide-brimmed hat enchanted to never scuff or stain. Personality: Clever, sarcastic, loves to banter with Alexander but respects him deeply. Quirk: Collects pocket watches from every major city they travel to, though none of them keep proper time.
Kaede Lightfoot — Halfling Druid, The Quiet Heart
Kaede is the mystery of the group. A halfling druid with an affinity for flowing, natural fabrics and living adornments like flower crowns or leaf-woven cloaks, she rarely speaks about her past. Among strangers, she is guarded and watchful, but within the Dapper Brutes she is fiercely loyal, almost like the glue holding them together. Though she doesn’t share much history, her bond with nature is undeniable: animals follow her, plants grow brighter where she walks, and the party often jokes that she is the party’s luck. Style signature: A cloak stitched with fresh vines and blossoms that never wither. Personality: Reserved, observant, compassionate, but with flashes of wry humor. Quirk: When deep in thought, she hums in Sylvan—a language only druids and fey understand.
