I am also interested but I have been utterly incapacitated with COVID for the past 5 days. Thursday I slept from 4am till 8am friday. I got up long enough to drink some soup and use the bathroom.

Let me drop a quick character concept before my lungs betray me once more. FYI I’ll be about, prolly to sick to work tomorrow and I have a memorial to plan for my dad on Wednesday, I have yet to coalesce a thought about that either.
Magdalene Vogt
Witch - Sorceress - Descendant of Verðandi the Norn of the present, the weaver of that which is happening right now.
Either a Noble or a Ritter but on the edges of the family, the strange cousin people snicker and tell jokes about behind her back.
Who would play her? Carole Lombard of course, or maybe Marlene Dietrich.
Flintlock - Doubtful but in a pinch a flash and a bang are an excellent distraction. (You could make a matchlock with a delayed action to make a fuss where you’re not.)
Why? - As the daughter of the fate / Norn who weaves the present she can can feel the threads of the world being rewoven in ways they were not meant to and she needs to undo that.
Oh Scheiße … Except I now see we have a Witch. Allow me to reponder tonight as I’ll likely have issues sleeping again.

Okie dokie ... how about a bard?
Magdalene (Lene) Vogt d'Amberville
Bard from the College of Blades
Background - Faceless
Being who you are, you could never be a hero. Whether due to your class, your people, your family, or your sins, something about you prevents you from effectively pursuing the path you’ve chosen. Even so, that doesn’t stop you. You’ve left your old face behind, taking on a new persona, becoming something more.
Characters with the faceless background don a disguise — literally or otherwise — as they adventure. This persona might be dramatic or subtle. In a way, though, many characters have such larger than life personalities. Therefore, this background largely focuses on detailing the hero behind the mask.
Lene moves around a lot, she works as a pit fighter mostly to excise her anger but she's mostly trying to avoid her past. There is something unsavoury behind her and she has cultivated a life to hide it.
Flintlocks - Almost certainly though she despises the noise at the smoke.
Who would play her? Carole Lombard or Marlene Dietrich still.
Why - Lene is trying to keep hidden but a terrible thing happened to her family a long time ago and she seeks revenge.
