It looks like again we've got a CMON game with a rich back story
There's a lot of info at http://arcadiaquest.com/ about the base heroes and monsters. But nothing on the KS exclusive figures/expansion.
So I'll try to keep it all straight.
Heroes
Sonja
“Go ahead and look. Sure, just stand still. Riiiight there. Ignore the sword. Watch the girl.”
CHOP! WHACK! HACK!
As a young Guildswoman, Sonja heard about the renowned Armor of Invulnerable Offense. It was said to convey superior protection to its wearers, and had helped more than one warrior woman to achieve fame and glory. Sonja relentlessly sought this legendary suit of armor, and eventually tracked it to a dungeon not far from Arcadia. But, when she found it, she couldn’t believe her eyes! It was little more than a golden chainmail bikini!
Incensed and annoyed, she figured she might as well try it on. Alas, the Armor of Invulnerable Offense proved all too true to its name. The cursed armor could not be removed! Thus, Sonja discovered the true secret: The worst defense requires the perfect offense. Many years later, she has proven the truth of these words. … Though she’d still really like to get rid of that armor.
Montoya
"You killed my rabbit. Prepare to die!"
Montoya descends from a long family line of almost magical blacksmiths. The family secret was the golden Hare, a mystic creature that granted its owner superior skill with the forge. Commissioned by Lord Fang (in disguise) to craft him a peerless weapon, Montoya was betrayed at delivery (of course), the Hare accidentally slain during the scuffle. Whether or not Fang dealt the fatal, crunchy stomp is irrelevant to Montoya - he lives now only for vengeance! And loot, of course.
Koba
“These mysteries will be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine.”
Insatiably curious since an early age, Koba demonstrated an obsession for anything and everything related to adventure. Swords, spells, sneaking… you name it, she wanted to master it. When adventurers would stay at her grandparents’ tavern, she’d virtually appear next to them wherever they went, and hound them for tales of adventure and monster-slaying techniques. Some indulged her precociousness. Others did not, and she has an intense dislike for anyone that she suspects is hiding something from her. When she was of age, she shouldered her swords, staff, and daggers (quite a trick) and marched off for a life of adventure and excitement in the distant land called Arcadia.
Hitch
“Everybody lies.”
Hitch’s origins are a mystery, but he’s a rare breed of Mento-Mancer, known for their piercing gazes and minty-fresh breath. Such mind magicians are both feared and respected, as they’re notoriously perceptive and infamously truthful. Asking a Mento-Mancer if they’re having a good day is to open oneself up for an hours-long dissertation. Hitch himself has managed to curb his absolute dedication to truth and accuracy in the midst of battle, although his cutting critiques of orcish swordsmanship has caused more than one opponent to break down in tears. In his private life, Hitch prefers quiet solitude to that of the local scene, although this is likely due to his blanket ban from all local ale-houses and, most notably, the ‘Fizzy Flagons’ franchise ever since the explosion.
Nibbles
"MUST! FEED!”
Nibbles is an experiment gone either horribly wrong or horribly right. No one from the University has claimed responsibility for this giant, mutant rabbit (although Bob’s is the prime suspect), but he does seem to be at least tame, so long as he’s fed regularly. When unleashed, Nibbles exhibits the disturbingly trollish tendency to devour his enemies whole and regenerate any battle wounds in seconds. Fortunately, the new effort to re-take Arcadia has come at just the right time! It wouldn’t do to let Nibbles run out of food.
Viktor
“Of course I hate eternal night! It makes the hunting too easy.”
Viktor is the ultimate monster hunter. There is practically no species he hasn’t stalked, and the rarer the better. It began as simple hunting for food and game, but, by his teens, mere animals posed no challenge. He sought far smarter game… but settled for orcs and trolls at the time. As his skills and reputation grew, he sought greater and grander challenges. Mythological creatures, tyrannical warlords, and he’s even said to have hunted a god once (though he only smirks when asked about that). But now, with the bounty out for Arcadia, he believes he’s found his biggest challenge: To hunt an entire CITY!
