History Characters / PATHCO

* ArcherArchetype: Unusually he’s a stout, grumpy male dwarf but he is definitely still an archer.

* DropTheHammer: She’s a cleric of Thor, of course this was going to feature.

* AnAxeToGrind: Her weapon of choice is an enormous double-headed battleaxe, as is typical of a Tide Knight (they're even on the official crest).

* NiceShoes: Acquired a pair of swamp-resistant high heels after an encounter in a haunted cobbler's mill. While Dave also got some spats, Thyra's are undeniably nicer (see BootsOfToughness).

* InfantImmortality: Averted in Sigmund’s backstory as he has mentioned two of the children he was training at Arbello Castle dying as a result of the troglodyte invasion.

* BiTheWay: Revealed to be the case for Sigmund in [=RtA=], where a previously undiscussed relationship with another Arbello employee named Michaeol was revealed.

* BootsOfToughness: Thanks to Barry, necromantic shoemaker, Thyra gains some badass heels of swamp-striding during Return to Arbello. Heels, yet practical thanks to their enchantment, remarkably useful during RTA, the core of which involves some pretty lengthy swamp shenanigans.

* NiceShoes: Acquired a pair of swamp-resistant high heels after an encounter in a haunted cobbler's mill. While Dave also got some spats, Thyra's are undeniably nicer.

* SirSwearsALot: She spends a lot of her time swearing about one thing or another.

* PetMonstrosity: He’s half pig, half fish, with the helmet of a mercenary instead of a face, [[ItMakesSenseInContext armoured internal organs]] and the heart of a dead elf. His skin is vile to the touch and he makes some pretty weird noises. But he’s the TeamPet anyway.

The youngest daughter of a wealthy trading family, Delta studied literature and embroidery as befetting a lady of her status - until she joined the Tide Knights as a teenager, learning how to battle monsters and villains with her great-axe. She joined the Pathfinder Society looking for greater opportunitues to do Good, and might learn that Good is somewhat more nuanced than she first thought.

* BitheWay: Revealed to be the case for Sigmund through the course of Welcome to Ossenheim (flirting with an upper-class elven lady), and Return to Arbello (Where his relationship with Michael was revealed, prior to the latter's DeathByOriginStory ).

* DespairEventHorizon: Judging from NPC chatter, Sigmund was slipping closer and closer to it over the course of Return to Arbello. Whether he falls over the edge completely depends on if the party gets to him in time.

* InfantImmortality: Averted in Sigmund’s backstory as he has mentioned two of the children he was training at Arbello Castle dying as a result of the troglodyte invasion, something he appears to feel guilt over.

* SurvivorGuilt: Sigmund was the only known survivor of the troglodyte invasion of Arbello castle. It doesn’t come up often due to his generally jovial and rakish demeanor but sometimes after a few drinks Sigmund displays certain signs of this. [[spoiler: Something he's working on, following the revelation in Return to Arbello that this was not his failing, rather due to a sneaky sleep-draught from Vlad]]

Born and raised on the Halfling isle of Scir, Dave was told many incredible stories by his retired Barbarian Great Aunt Tilda. Seeing the same passion for adventure Tilda saw in herself she encouraged him to pursue his love of music and become a bard. When he turned eighteen, he set out into the world armed with a handful of plundered dragon gold from his aunt's hoard, his lute and a cute green scarf, looking for something more.

* BadassAdorable: While not capable of physically kicking as much ass as the rest of the party, he can still cast some pretty strong spells to do the job for him. And he looks super cute while doing it.

* AlcoholInducedStupidity: Sometimes. He makes a bit of a fool of himself the evening Cassandra turns up and has told the occasional tale implying it’s happened frequently in the past. The worst (and currently unspecified) incident apparently necessitated him having to leave home and join the army as a young man.

* GeniusBruiser: Fits the trope to a T. She’s over six feet tall and built like a tank, easily hefting a two-handed great axe and charging around in a suit of scale mail. However, she also greatly enjoys reading and the study of literature, spending most of her free time either with a book or discussing them with like-minded people.

* TagalongKid: Not technically a kid but he fills the same role as one.

* IntellectualAnimal: Myra chose to spend her first downtime between sessions teaching Mimi, her horse, maths. [[spoiler: This was originally deemed to be her clopping her hoof in response to maths questions, but then revealed by a cunning Perception check from Bea to '''actually''' be her noting when people would be most surprised by her answering, and stopping clopping then]]
