Some work is just too dangerous and for those jobs there are the Daring Dynamos. Based in Pilien, on the continent of
Pathriam, the Daring Dynamos are a relatively small guild who have made a very large name for themselves. They hold no ties to any larger organizations, believing firmly in remaining independent.
Leaders
Chaotic Neutral, Male Dwarf
Tempo is a man stuck in the twilight between life and death. He carries the aura of a battle-hardened survivor, his refined attire contrasting starkly with a body scarred from time. A former miner of the
Darkstone Clan in
Kul' Karit, his life took an unexpected turn following his exile for stealing explosives.
His path, from a disgraced miner to a daring smuggler, eventually led him to his best friend
Dalton Shane. Together, they ventured into the world of explosives running, laying the foundations for the Daring Dynamos. The guild is now a legitimate enterprise, born from their shared expertise in incendiaries, seafaring, and trade.
While on an excursion off the coast of
Zan'deil, Tempo's ship was capsized and he drowned. Upon awakening on the beach nearby, he found himself
Tethered to his own corpse, his soul having left and rebounded to his body in the midst of decay. Now bound to the mortal plane after his vessel's demise, Tempo thrives in his peculiar state of existence.
Despite his rough exterior, Tempo harbors an artist's soul. Once proficient with his dominant hand, he now navigates the challenge of relearning his artistic touch. His speech, direct and incisive, speaks of a man who embraces life and seeks its thrills.
Neutral Good, Male Human
Dalton Shane, the pragmatic co-leader of the Daring Dynamos, has roots embedded in the merchant world of
Pilien. Raised in a family accustomed to traversing the countries of
Thorn and
Belwin, his youthful years were spent absorbing the intricacies of trade and commerce, particularly along the coast of the
Westlands. At the age of 20, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish Shane's Shipyard in the city of
Anchor, marking the beginning of his personal venture into the shipping industry. However, this venture met an abrupt end when treachery resulted in the destruction of his life's work.
This catastrophe ignited a new path for Dalton. Dedicating years to understanding explosives, he meticulously traced the components used in the sabotage of his shipyard. This quest for knowledge and retribution brought him to
Tempo, the man who would become his mentor and his closest friend. Their partnership flourished as they navigated the risky waters of smuggling along the coast of the
Sterling Ocean and the pirate isles of
Dendenwine.
His quest for vengeance eventually gave way, and Dalton went legit, founding the Daring Dynamos alongside Tempo. Dalton's role in the guild is pivotal; he is the mastermind behind every operation, orchestrating plans from their base in Pilien. While Tempo is the face in the field, Dalton's expertise ensures their operations run smoothly. His family life is as central to him as his guild duties, with his wife, Bertha, and daughter, Holly, playing key roles in the day-to-day management of most endeavors.
