introductions would appear to be in order

We have new party members. (I've set aside character sheets in each of your journals, so please fill those out with your 4th level characters as best you can this week.) Everyone please briefly introduce yourself, including your current or proposed character. You too, Daniel.

Name is Josh, but you can just call me Sirkov to avoid confusion with our new addition. I live in Florida right now, and I'm working on starting my own furniture business. Shits hard though.  My character is Faeron, a former soldier. He is an elf, relatively serious, and cannot abide bandits. Recently he has a new respect for the Zentarum or however you spell it, because of their stabilizing presence in the region s that they operate in. Still not a fan of their business practices, but they might be necessary. 

Hi, im opscomm, senior majoring in economics and Global Affairs. My Character is Garrick, a Half-Elf Monk. He has somewhat of a live and let live attitude, unless it prevents others from doing the same. Thus, he dislikes bandits, Cultists, etc. He is currently hunting fire cultists for reasons which are a bit personal to him.

Hi, I'm Josh but you can call me whatever you want. I work full time for a VFX company and in my spare time I dabble in Machine learning, VR and AR experiences. My character is Bor Marsk, a human Barbarian that lived among the nearby barbarian tribes until he was cast out by his tribe folk and now he is seeking refuge in the monastery until he can find a path he can call his own

Hello, my name is Zyroes, but you can call me Zy. I'm not nearly as interesting as the rest of you. I just stay at home and take care of my elderly grandmother. My character is Derik Trebohe, a Human Sorcerer. His goal is to become a renowned entertainer and gain vast wealth. What better way to do this than to travel from place to place winning the hearts of the people?

I'm Daniel. My current job title is software developer, and I work for a telecommunications company whose operating policy was probably derived after closely examining a chicken with its head recently cut off. Viktor Shalburgen is the name of my D&D character. He is a pirate born swashbuckling halfling rogue who demands frontier justice be served to those who stole his precious loot and pride.
