Merry Lang

Merry Lang is a young human girl who has a rebellious streak. She wanted to go and become an adventurer under the wrongly pronounced named 'Tazlith.' Stealing away from her parents and relatively comfortable upbringing, she outfitted herself as an adventurer (based on chap book impressions) and headed to Last Rock. After getting caught up in a scheme and trouble between Jeremiah Shook, Principia Locke, Elias 'Long Shot' McGraw, she ran afoul the law in Last Rock.

Following her arrest by Sheriff Sanders, the Imperial magistrate gave her the option of a 6 month jail sentence or military service. Lang opted for military service in the Silver Legion. She was dismayed when, after graduating basic training (boot camp) she was assigned to Squad 391 with the instigator of her legal troubles, Principia Locke.

She has provided loyal service to the Silver Legion. She was award the Dawn Crescent (an analog to the Purple Heart) for bravery and being wounded in combat under fire on a classified mission involving eserite apprentices and Svennish dwarves.

She is well-meaning and good natured. She is an easy target for teasing, such as jokes about her appearance and bearing during her short-lived adventuring career in Last Rock. She is stubborn and not particularly bright, but very loyal. She is not particularly discreet, but her loyalty does enable her to keep her friend's secrets.

Principia has remarked that despite being rough around the edges all of her squad, including Lang, have talent and potential. However the whole of the squad, Lang included, expressed no desire for a career in the Legions, intending to serve out their hitch and then return to civilian life.
