Mojosilver:
  Victor Craftwell is a Mountain Dwarf and a level 3 Arch Fey sworn warlock of the tome. Victor's background is sage(wizard apprentice) and his alignment is lawful neutral. Victor's stats are Str 14 Dex 14 Con 14 Int 12 Wis 12 and Cha 12. He has a Proficiency bonus of 2 and his Skills are Arcana, History, Intimidation, and Investigation. As a Mountain dwarf Victor is able to see in the dark 60 feet. Has advantage(roll twice use best roll) vs poison and Resistance vs poison. He is proficient with mason's tools. Knowledgeable (Double proficiency) on History stonework checks, and has training with Battle axes, hand axes, warhammers, throwing hammers, light, and medium armor. Victor's patron has show him how to cast spells, how to Detect magic at will, and to project a charming or frightening presence on each creature(wis save vs victor's spell DC 11) in a 10 foot cube centered on Victor. She has also given him a shadow tome of ancient secrets that let's him use 3 more cantrips, two rituals (Comprehend language and Identify) and Victor can add more ritual spells to the tome. Victor's cantrips are Eldritch Blast, Mending, Resistance, Prestidigitation, and Thaumaturgy. The spells Victor knows are Hellish Rebuke, Hex, Witch Bolt, and Misty Step. Victor can cast two spells per short rest as 2 level spells.

In combat Victor shoots his enemy with eldritch blast and keeps shooting until there dead. Saving his spells for a emergence. DPS pure and simple.
 
Victor never really fit in. He was always clam, polite, efficient, and prepared for anything. But something was missing. The closes thing to a friend and a steady job he had was the wizard he was apprentice to and after a decade it was obvious even that was going no ware. Then he meet her. An Arch Fey. She changed his life and strangely Victor felt better for it. For the first time Victor felt truly alive. Learning the secrets of the world, of magic. But still Victor is no fool. He know she was using him. Nothing is free. There is always price. But for now for the first time. He is happy.

Totally got that!

Nia, FWIW, was never a "slave".  She chose to move from Africa to Haiti, probably because she saw the slavers as "stronger" that the local culture, and wanted to go study / steal from / conquer their strength.

She likely made thralls of the raiders who came to her village... or even sought them out and inserted herself amongst the captives.  Then made thralls of the captain & crew of the ship transporting her, then the auctioneers in Haiti.  She chose which plantation would "buy" her.  Sliding through the slave subculture essentially unnoted by the mortal "masters" and by any wizards who happened by...

As a minor point, that's "Haitian" plantation... not that there was such a big difference at the time, vs. an American plantation.

Mojosilver:
Wild Cat or Kate is a half-orc (feral) Druid of the Moon. Her background is outlander and her alignment is True Neutral. Her stats are Str 12 Dex 14 Con 16 Int 10 Wis 13 and Cha 10. Her Skills are Athletics, Insight, Perception, and Survival. As a half-orc Kate can see in the dark 60 feet, can once per long rest drop to one hit point instead of dying, and she can roll one extra weapon die when she scores a critical melee hit. As a druid of the moon she can cast spells and is a expert at wild shape. (wild shape as bonus action and can change in to animal CR one half her level.) Additionally she can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain hit points. 1d8 per spell level. Kate's has the Cantrips Produce fire and Shillelagh. She can cast 4 first level spell and 2 second level spells per long rest.

In combat Kate mainly tanks. She use produce flame until the enemy closes with her then using claw and fang to hold the line. Kate typically use her spell for out of combat utility or in combat healing. Out of combat she is the scout.

Kate grew up in the wild. Just anther wild beast. That is until uncle fond her. He taught her many things. But he never tamed her wild spirit. She is still a predator. But now she hunts for more then food. She hunts for new thing to experience. New challenges to over come. Uncle taught her about the world. Now she will see it herself.

Sir Stuart and a wizard cop, coming right up.

Aliyah Saab (Submerged)

The White Council is kind of an awful organization in a lot of ways. It's an unelected shadow government which claims the right to execute anyone, no matter their age or nationality, who breaks rules which it doesn't tell the public about. That's why Aliyah isn't a Warden.

But although she can't in good conscience be a Warden, she still wants to do Warden-esque things. So she's working as a crime scene investigator for her local police department. She seems very good at her job, and her co-workers love her...but the truth is, she knows jack-all about crime scene investigation. She's faking it with divination spells. Most of her equipment is broken, since she's a notable hexer even for a wizard, and she wouldn't know how to use it even if it was functional.

So far, she's been able to save lives and solve crimes without revealing herself. She's even taken care of some magical problems for the city, without anybody noticing. But she's not sure how much longer she can keep this up.

Sir Stuart Winchester (Submerged)

We don't seem to know much about this guy. So he's only getting a very basic Aspect sketch, and his skill/stunt spread is a bit generic. No idea if it's accurate at all...I don't even know whether the guy was clued-in during his lifetime.

That does make it a bit better. The way your post is phrased gives me the impression that I don't have the whole story here, though.

If there's a post or something explaining this person, can you shoot me a link? I can't find anything with Google.

Anyway, I've given this some more thought and here's my revised list of characters to make:

-Arlen Bales
-Victor Craftwell
-Romeo Lovegood
-Kate/Wild Cat
-Goku
-Aang
-Father
-The Dragon (from the Paranet Papers)
-Maybe Nia Ofumbe

Anyway, can I get a bit more information about Arlen? A quick googling reveals that he's some kind of messenger and that he's stronger at night, but I don't know much about his personality or skills.
