*****EDIT 2015/04/05*****

I ran the one-shot last night, and it went extremely well! The players had fun, I had to riffle through my notes for a bit too long sometimes, but otherwise had no problems. This bodes well for me hosting an actual campaign of whatever in the future! I added three NPCs to the end of the picture (and the list) for you to enjoy.

*****EDIT 2015/04/05*****

I've been a D&D player for a while now, but what I really want to do is DM.
I guess. Maybe. I guess I'll get a better idea after I run this one-shot soon.
In the interest of speeding things up and making things easier for people not familiar with the rules, I pre-genned some characters for them to choose from! I tried to cover a broad range of classes, races, personalities, play styles, etc. So that everyone has a good chance of being able to pick someone they'll enjoy playing.

And since I am me, I had to draw them.

ASH: Neutral Half-orc Ranger (Hunter)
She was a soldier most of her life, mostly fighting in wars against orcs and goblins. Being a half-orc herself, she had to be double-zealous in battle to convince the higher-ups of her loyalty. Now that we're in times of relative peace, she has took up adventuring to keep kicking asses.

Dominic: Chaotic Good Half-Elf Fighter (Battle Master)
He used to be a star tamer in the circus... but he left to pursue greater challenges - or possibly because no one could stand his self-important attitude. Depends on who you ask.

Lien: Neutral Good Wood Elf Warlock (Archfey patron, Pact of the Chain)
She doesn't talk much, but it seems she saved her home village from an orcish invasion by forging a pact with fairies. Now she enjoys exploring, discovering new dangers and treasures.

Pardi: Neutral Forest Gnome Wizard (School of Illusion)
Up until somewhat recently, she was a student at magic school... but she was more concerned with having fun with friends (playing roleplaying games, maybe?) than studying. She cheated a lot to pass her exams. She still prefers to trick her way past problems than face them head-on.

Pwyll: Chaotic Neutral Human Druid (Circle of the Moon)
Nobody quite remembers when he joined the party, nor who invited him in the first place. His constant nonsensical mumbling and poor hygiene are tolerated because of his occasional usefulness.

Rando: Chaotic Good Mountain Dwarf Sorcerer (Wild Magic)
He used to train to be a warrior, but his alchemist dad recruited him as a lab assistant instead. He wasn't very good, and caused a freak accident which, luckily, granted him magic powers. After that, he quit and decided to become living artillery instead!

Sam: Lawful Evil Lightfoot Halfling Rogue (Thief)
Living in the halfling ghetto of a big human city, he noticed that the big folk paid no attention to them and their poverty. So he took up stealing... a lot. Still the tall ones never suspected a lowly halfling of all these crimes.

Vador: Lawful Neutral Tiefling Paladin (Oath of Vengeance)
He was raised by the temple of Nemesis, after his entire family was condemned as devil worshippers. He grew up with the conviction that evil should be brutally punished, and left to enforce that belief.

**added 2015/04/05**
Zenda: The cleric of the group, she was kidnapped from her room at the inn and taken to a spooky mansion. She's a healing machine and everyone's metaphorical big sister. The quest was to rescue her - cause a party without its healer isn't a proper party!

Fredegar: The owner of the mansion and kidnapper of Zenda. He's not evil, just totally insane. The voices in his head tell him to do things... may or may not be a vampire.

Gratteux: Fredegar's long-suffering butler. Doesn't actually object to his boss's doings, as long as he gets paid.
