Sure thing! Send it to me when you're ready, and if you make it good and detailed enough, the Beast might just win.

Name: Aunt Hetty
Appearance: A kindly old woman. Aunt Hetty looks very unassuming and sweet with a warm smile and large, frameless spectacles. More wrinkled than an elephant's trousers, Aunt Hetty is plump and round with an air of softness around her. Standing shy of five feet, Aunt Hetty wears her silver hair in a tight bun and what appears to be the same woolly tartan jumper (three sizes too big for her) all day, every day. On her neck is a butterfly tattoo.
Why your character is/became the role she is: Aunt Hetty is the village elder. Although nobody actually knows how old she is, what is known is that she's older than everyone else in the village - possibly combined. Aunt Hetty also knows pretty much everything that has ever went on in the village - who's boffing who, who's grandfather did what, who's mom owes who a goat. Aunt Hetty knows so much in fact that people almost always go to her for sage advice and to sort of issues.
Personality: Cheerful and kind, Aunt Hetty always has time for a friendly chat with friends. Treating everyone as though they are part of her family, Aunt Hetty is always up to fix you up a meal or chastise you for not wearing your coat when its raining. She has it in her to even make the toughest hearts melt when she bakes them brownies and tells them to tuck their shirts in. Never one to turn anyone down, Aunt Hetty is polite and wee bit mad. Although she seems airheaded and slightly cuckoo, this is all but an act. Aunt Hetty is actually very astute and aware of everything that goes around her, just choosing not to respond or react to it. She might seem forgetful but Aunt Hetty remembers almost everything that has happened to her and knows the village inside out. Eerily she seems to know and recall everybody's ancestors and their ancestors, telling stories about their deeds or how proud they made her - she's a rocking chair history book! Warm and happy, Aunt Hetty is always somebody you can rely on.
Backstory: Let's get this out of the way; the reason Aunt Hetty seems to know so much about the past? She's a necromancer. She first got into necromancy because she wanted to have a jolly old chat with some of the greats from history, to hear the old stories first hand. Loveably, it was only after the third or fourth resurrection that she discovered undead souls from the past can't really wear the jumpers you knit for them. However, although it was fine and dandy talking to the legendary Arsunius the Conqueror and how he destroyed the Mongrel Horde or whatever, there was a lot of difficulties involved in raising the dead (detailed below) so she now sticks to reviving dead members of her family or the village community to keep her company in these lonely times.
Qualities: Aunt Hetty is a necromancer, and a pretty darn experienced one at that. However, despite being able to raise the dead, Aunt Hetty doesn't care so much for all the sinister grimdark baggage such an ability normally entails. You see, Aunt Hetty never raises an unwilling soul. Forcing a soul back into their body after death is a huge violation which Aunt Hetty sees as worse than murder. Raising a soulless body is less of a problem but Aunt Hetty still always asks the permission of family members and imparts a bit of her own soul into it before she attempts. It isn't hard to find willing souls however as who could refuse such a kindly old lady?
As imagined, necromancy takes an awful lot of work. To raise a body Aunt Hetty has to dance around the grave, pour a number of strange chemicals over it, recite a whole magical passage out of a dusty book and spill a few drops of living blood onto the body (Aunt Hetty always uses her own). Bringing back a soul and joining it with a body is an even harder task. To help her, Aunt Hetty uses a soul whistle which calls a soul back to Earth. Aunt Hetty must then carefully decide whether its the right soul for the body she resurrected - putting the wrong soul into a body would be disastrous - and only then can she enjoy the full benefits of bringing back the dead.
Calling the soul of someone from a very long time ago is much harder than raising the body of someone who died recently. The connection is fainter the greater the number of time miles between the necromancer and the necromancee, there's neural compatability involved and a great deal of bloody chance. Not to mention, Aunt Hetty had to walk continents in her youth to the graves of some old heroes and found they didn't want to come back after all! Ah well, nowadays Aunt Hetty does a lot less travelling and raising the dead is tiring business in and of itself. Still, if you're a lucky villager you may catch a glimpse of Aunt Hetty putting the kettle on and sharing a joke with your Great Great Grandfather Fozzy.
Defects/Faults: Seeing as she's an old lady, Aunt Hetty is rather frail and slow. Definitely not a fighter, Aunt Hetty takes very long naps to recharge her energy after a tiring necromancy session. There's also her unflippant kindness. Aunt Hetty doesn't care if you're the most wanted murderer in the world, she'll still offer you a warm bed and biscuit out of the goodness of her heart. Oh Aunt Hetty!

Name: Random Hobo
Appearance: Grimy looking dude in his late 50s with a long black beard (with hints of gray). Looks like he's been wearing the same clothes for 2 weeks straight.
Why your character is/became the role he is: Random Hobo used to be an accomplished biologist with a focus on birds, but he eventually got fired and resorted to alcoholism to compensate. He blew off so money on alcohol that he lost his house, his wife, his kids, most of his money, pretty much everything. Now he's here.
Personality: Pretty much the dude from your earlier RPGs, incredibly paranoid, rants about completely random incoherent shit. Has a strange obsession with finches. Has no idea what the fuck sanitation even means. Is thoroughly convinced that the dolphins will soon organize an uprising against mankind and kill everybody. Although he is VERY weird and pretty fucking crazy, he's not stupid. Probably the most educated person in the entire village. It's just that his intelligence manifests itself in weird ways. For example he'll perform really detailed experiments on completely pointless things. It's worth noting that his alcoholism is a coping mechanism for depression. Also he can be surprisingly noble when the occasion calls for it.
Backstory: The "how he got there" part sums it up pretty much. His real name was Jonathan Byrd btw.
Qualities: Can survive a door falling on top of him. Has extensive knowledge in bird biology (particularly finches). He is so efficient at fighting with a broken bottle it's scary. He also has a tendency to think outside of the box to say the least... meaning he can come up with some of the most batshit crazy ideas, but some of them are so batshit crazy they just might work. The proud inventor of the crab cannon. It's a gun that shoots crabs, don't ask why he thought that was a good idea.
Defects/Faults: well, being drunk almost all the time can be a flaw in and of itself, as is his paranoia, pretty old so he's not particularly athletic (he's still reasonably strong however), batshit crazy ideas can be really good sometimes, but other times they're just well, batshit crazy.
