Stak Finegirl is a kobold rogue and member of the Like-Minded Individuals.
Appearance
In 1672 ADW, Stak is a 2 ft 3 in kobold with purple-ish scales and horns. His eyes are a reflective, solid silver color. He wears a pirate frock coat and matching hat (which is actually a moon-elven Helm of Teleportation), sized for a kobold. He keeps a Bag of Holding with straps as a backpack, full of an assortment of items and lots of candy. He wields daggers, usually throwing them, and a shield with the Chak family crest. Stak is usually wide-eyed and excitedly running around looking at everything.
Biography
When Stak was very, very young, a tribe of kobolds was attacked by The Collective, and the survivors were forcibly experimented on with alchemical mixtures including Hunter's Bane. Subject ST-4K, also known as Stak, was the only one to survive this. Richard Silverpoint, leader of the Silver Blade, was the one behind this experimentation, as he wanted to create a super soldier "Ghostslayer". However, Silverpoint in front of Stak acted fatherly and began to raise Stak like a son. One day when Silverpoint wasn't around he managed to escape and ran to a nearby city. There he lived as an urchin on the streets for a while, before being adopted by Brandy Finegirl after attempting to steal from her bar.
Stak left with Brandy, Malvera, and Roscoe for the upper hemisphere, and was shipwrecked on Kasiri Cay with them. They would meet Catalina, Runa, and Balthazar on this island, and form the Like-Minded Individuals.
Stak would continue to adventure with the Like-Minded Individuals for a long while until when on an alien planet after exploring a precursor lore vault a portal to the vile dimension opened and the corrupted Malvera attempted to go into it. Stak and Brandy both tried to save Malvera in any way they could, including Brandy sacrificing herself and Stak following Malvera into the portal. Stak followed Malvera through the vile dimension for a long time before he was teleported onto the ship going to Osiris.
After the Battle of Osiris, Stak was left adrift in space with Brandy, Omlorn (who died shortly into the stranding), and the moon elf pilot. They would remain lost in space until they were found and rescued by the Eclipse. On 24 I'selith 1766 ADW, Stak and Brandy were running a food truck / mobile inn called "Fine Vibes" and went to a food truck festival in Valenor where they met Autumn, Burger King, Mishandr, Sunrise, and Ygor Vectress.
Clones
Stak was used as the basis for many clones, created by The Collective under the direction of the Court of Wolves. While adventuring with the Like-Minded Individuals, Stak encountered ST4K-B. Later in 1762 ADW, the village of Grubville in Duzgredar was visited by Meat Squad. Here they met many clones of Stak. These clones and others based on other adventurers, were left here after experiments done by the Thenalion Empire created them. One of these clones, then known as King Stak, was adopted by Autumn and renamed Ballpark Frank Frankenfurter (and later Burger King).
