Kulyok:
1) Nella.
Gender: female
Race: human
Alignment: true neutral
Class: fighter (possible dual-class: cleric or druid; alternate class: fighter/cleric, fighter/druid)
Biography: Born in Bryn Shander to the family of travelling merchants, Nella was shaping up to be a caravan guard, until one day, her parents brought her to Kuldahar. There, she says, her real life started: Arundel, the Archdruid, recognized her healing skills. With permission of her parents, which, she recalls, involved a hefty sum of gold, he took her away and started to train her in the druidic rites and spiritual traditions. More often than not, however, she was sent off to various fighting missions. The last one took her to Easthaven.
2) Korin.
Gender: male
Race: elf
Alignment: chaotic good
Class: ranger (alternate class: ranger/cleric)
Biography: Though he has spent several years in the vicinity of Easthaven, Korin originally hails from Evereska, an elven stronghold in the northern Faerun. He does not look especially suited for the harsh, demanding trade of the ranger, and when asked about it directly, he confirms it, saying he hoped to dedicate himself to the finer arts. There is a brittle edge to his words, soon to be replaced by a genuine smile: as he spent several years in exile, he is grateful for any company. He speaks about helpful, unobtrusive folk of the Dale with much warmth in his voice, and is seemingly reluctant to leave the shores of Lac Dinneshere.
3) Teriel(Teri).
Gender: female
Race: half-elf
Alignment: chaotic neutral
Class: fighter/thief (alternate class: fighter/mage/thief, mage/thief, thief)
Biography: When asked about her past, Teri's eyes immediately sparkle, and she launches into a multitude of stories a careless listener may emerge from hours later, with a feeling that his head is about to burst. A child of a happy union of two adventurers, she never imagined another career for herself, though the circumstances under which she arrived to Icewind Dale have probably been rough; she looks pale and thin. Quickly irritated and quickly distracted, she seems happy to find herself in Easthaven: the corners of her lips go up at the mention of glory and gold, though her eyes narrow as she accesses the risks.
4) Severn.
Gender: male
Race: human
Alignment: neutral good
Class: bard (alternate class: fighter/mage, mage)
Biography: Severn comes from the vast farmsteads stretching along the Sword Coast. Always ready to drop in an unexpected joke or to whistle a long-forgotten tune, he ruefully admits his lack of talents, and adds that as many before him, he came to the Spine of the World to seek inspiration. He left Baldur's Gate a few months ago due to an embarrassing performance he promises to tell about some time. Judging by the state of his attire, his money is running out, and Severn confirms this, saying he vowed to join the first adventuring company that would take him. A wooden flute is his only worldly possession, but he looks to the future with optimism.
5) Holvir
Gender: male
Race: human
Alignment: lawful good
Class: paladin
Biography: A quiet, fair-spoken young man, he speaks little unless addressed directly. When asked about his past, Holvir explains that he comes from the City of Splendors, having been summoned by his superior's old friend, Hrothgar. A knight of the Order of the Knights of Holy Judgement, he has dedicated his whole life to Tyr at an early age, and has been made a full paladin a little more than a year ago. He remains alert and looks ready to provide aid at all times, though his general conduct is a little aloof.
jastey:
"Karin" is a woman's name in German.
Other than that, very promosing. Who are the romantic otpions?? :)
Kulyok:
Heh. You're not expecting me to tell you that right away, do you?
And, yes, that's a difficulty. Minsc and Erevain took time for me to adjust to; some other mod-introduced names have an unpleasant ring to them in Russian. But since Kelsey is a girl's name, as well, looks like Karin is in a good company! :)

It's sort of PPG tradition to have gender-bending names. Particularly in the K portion of the alphabet.
jastey:
Long live tradition, then! I will silently pronounce it Kari'n, then it sounds male.
