Size: Medium
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 210 lbs
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Alignment: Neutral Good
Physical Description (short paragraph): Tall, muscled, but
surprisingly soft features for a half-orc. Actually pretty
disarming, really. He has short, sandy-colored hair atop his
head and green eyes that are really brought out by his
viridescent skin. The most alarming feature are his two lower
tusks which, while sharp, almost look a little goofy with the
smile that is that is usually on his face.

Other (Features/Traits):
Feature - By Popular Demand
You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or
tavern but possibly with a circus, at a theater, or even in a
noble’s court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and
food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the
quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each
night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a
local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you
have performed, they typically take a liking to you.
Tool/Musical Instrument Proficiencies
Disguise Kit, Horn
Darkvision
Thanks to your orc blood, you have superior vision in dark and
dim Conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in Darkness as if it were dim
light. You can’t discern color in Darkness, only shades of gray.
Menacing
You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
Relentless Endurance
When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright,
you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature
again until you finish a Long Rest.
Savage Attacks
When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon Attack, you
can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and
add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other
weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
Second Wind
At first level, on your turn, you can use a bonus action to
regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. Once you
use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before
you can use it again.
Equipment:
Weapons: Battleaxe, 2 handaxes

tinderbox, waterskin, 50 feet of hempen rope)
Backstory:
Background: Entertainer
Personality/History (short paragraph): As a child, he always
wanted to an actor - someone with all the eyes on him. He
worked hard, but in the end decided it wasn't him - not enough
natural charm. Now Apoc spends his days finding his place,
working where he can in bars and the like where his smiles and
quick jokes are appreciated. Looking for something more, but
not quite sure what.

with lawbreakers, gives you a feel for local laws and criminals.

new leader, ready to bring justice to the lands that surround
him. Straight to the point, cold, and hyper-focused on his
objective.

Feats:
Languages: Common, Infernal, Thieves Cant
Other (Features/Traits):
Darkvision:
Thanks to your infernal heritage, you have superior vision in
the dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60
feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it
was dimlight. You can't discern color in darkness, only shade of
grey
Hellish Resistance:
You have resistance to fire damage
Infernal Legacy:
You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you
can cast the hellish rebuke spell as a 2nd-level spell; you must
finish a long rest in order to cast the spell again using this
trait. Once you reach 5th level, you can also cast the darkness
spell; you must finish a long rest in order to cast the spell
again using this trait. Charisma is your spellcasting ability
for these spells.
False Identity
You have created a second identity that includes documentation,
established acquaintances, and disguises that allow you to
assume that persona. Additionally, you can forge documents
including official papers and personal letters, as long as you
have seen an example of the kind of document or the handwriting
you are trying to copy.
Rogue: Sneak Attack
Beginning at 1st level, you know how to strike subtly and
exploit a foe's distraction. Once per turn, you can deal an
extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you
have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must use a finesse
or a ranged weapon.
You don't need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of
the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn't
incapacitated, and you don't have disadvantage on the attack
roll.
Rogue: Expertise
At 1st level, choose two of your skill proficiencies, or one of
your skill proficiencies and your proficiency with thieves'
tools. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check
you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
At 6th level, you can choose two more of your proficiencies (in
skills or with thieves' tools) to gain this benefit.
Rogue: Thieves' Cant
During your rogue training you learned thieves' cant, a secret
mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide
messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature
that knows thieves' cant understands such messages. It takes
four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak
the same idea plainly.
In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols
used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area
is dangerous or the territory of a thieves' guild, whether loot
is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or
will provide a safe house for thieves on the run.
Rogue: Cunning Action
You can use a bonus action to take the dash, disengage or hide
action.
Tool Proficiencies:
Thieves' Tools, Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit

Weapons: Rapier, Shortbow(20 arrows), 2 Daggers

pitons, a hooded lantern, 2 flasks of oil, 5 days rations, a
tinderbox, a waterskin, 50 feet of hempen rope), a deck of
marked cards
Backstory:
Background: Charlatan
Personality/History (short paragraph): Growing up with a knack
for sneaking and general misdirection though his actions. Mel
spent most of his life a traveling conman running simple card
and shell games to gain money. After a while he became too bored
with the life of a con and decided to enlist and become a
treasure hunting adventurer
