====== Samuel Skye ======
===== Background/Bio =====
The son of a pair of shoemakers, Samuel Skye had a relatively comfortable upbringing. He worked for a time as an assistant in his parents’ shop and did a stint in the Acryn Cadets but neither were particularly for him. He had a philosophy that people were inherently good and only did bad things because of a lack of understanding of other people. Hence, he founded the Postal Corps as a way to help people communicate with each other, no matter how far apart they were.

Currently, he holds the titles of Councillor, Postmaster General, Headmaster and Mushroom King.

===== Resources, Contacts and Connections =====

==== Council Contractor: Postal Corps ====
Founded as a small courier service consisting of only one man with dreams above his station, the Postal Corps has grown to have offices in six cities over two continents. While many of the local Post Officers are basic couriers, those tasked with carrying messages between settlements are highly trained in combat for protection from bandits and the danger of encroaching flux. The Corps has a quasi-military hierarchy and is recognisable by their blue and white uniforms and the symbol of a Pegasus. 

Due to a number of early legal misunderstandings, the Postal Corps have the lawyer Lucius Smythe-Beechley on retainer. More positively, the Corps is notable for their involvement in the rediscovery of Strossborg and Valydd, the resistance against the rule of the Leader Incarnate and the recent founding of the Acryn Free School. 


==== College: Acryn Free School ====
With illiteracy rampant among the lower classes of the city, Samuel Skye has built the Acryn Free School, a charitable educational institution which offers free education to the children of Acryn. The emphasis is on teaching literacy and numeracy but advanced classes are available for subjects including history, geography and science. In the evenings, limited adult classes are offered for literacy and numeracy.

In front of the building is a statue of Mark Carter holding in one hand a shepherd’s crook and in the other an open book.

==== Corvette: The Pegasus ====
Plans for the //Pegasus// were laid down early on in the history of the Postal Corps but it wasn't completed until recently. It is currently moored a short distance out from the dock.

==== Contacts and Connections ====
  * The Council
  * The True Council
  * The City Watch
  * The Nobility of Acryn
  * The Spicer's Guild
  * The People's College of Acryn
  * The College of the Stars

=====Specials=====

==== A Thousand Faces ====
  * Richard "Big Rick" Brown - Enforcer for the Spicer's Guild
  * Serjeant Jeremy Chase - Nightwatchman (RUMBLED)
  * Eustace Terrec - A noble
  * Jarred - Member of the People's College opposed to the Leader

==== Council Member ====
You are one of the 30 members of Acryn's council. This can either be an elected or appointed position, depending on how you got it. This gives you considerable influence with the city's elite, and comes with some additional tangible benefits:

  * You have a magical identifying seal, produced using the rite of scribing. This is exceedingly difficult to forge (without access to high-level scribing rituals). Your face is also likely to be known, and this may colour how some people react to you.
  * You have access to up to date information on the city's overall status, and some secrets not known to the common man (i.e. the wages of foreign espionage, levels in the stockpiles, etc.). Ask a GM if you feel it would be appropriate for you to be able to gain access to a certain piece of information.
  * You have a 1/4 discount on upgrading or purchasing resources.



==== Other Things of Note ====
  * One encounter per adventure immunity to ENRAGE
  * Unable to see in colour
