Tokata of the Mask

News has spread through the Arena of a quaint little artisan shop, in the form of a very long, wide tent, resting at the top of a lightly wooded hill. While the shop does sometimes move, it is never far from a village, and always easy for its customers to find. Outside is a sign labeled “Mysterious Masks: Open,” and inside are shelves upon shelves covered in masks of various colors, shapes, and sizes; all manner of amulets and charms, as well as some other woodwork. Stories also mention the young artist, eager to share tales of far-off lands.

Originally a warrior from the Mardu clan of Tarkir, Atlani was skilled in many forms of combat even before beginning her trek across the Multiverse, where she's garnered a small reputation for slaying the biggest beast she can find. She carries two swords at her hip, one with a curved blade, in a well-fitted sheath, and one with a jagged blade. Her other weapons are a bow sticking out from behind a shield on her back, and several daggers.
Important Note: Atlani is not a planeswalker, but can understand all languages as if she was.
Atlani can be found with her snow leopard, wandering the snowy forests of the Arena, looking for Selem.

Dieule, Agonized Prototype
"This procedure can be done pleasantly, or painfully..."
(b7d9df, c97979)
Dieule can be found infecting local wildlife or artifice, or testing his powers of oil-kinesis
Somewhere out in the multiverse lies a plane with many names, and a dark history. Some call it Mirrodin, others call it New Phyrexia. After the planeswalkers Karn and Ajani left the plane, the Phyrexians found it much easier to assimilate the rest. This left their war engines quiet, and many impatient. Some of Jin Gitaxias's followers had the idea to begin work on a project to bring their conquest to an interplanar scale. Using as many theories of interplanar travel as they could get their hands on, mostly Memnarch's ideas, they developed a number of prototypes. It wasn't until their thirteenth, named Dieule, that they succeeded. Upon the creation of its spark, Dieule was flung into the Multiverse, landing in the Arena. Lost, broken, and low on oil, this machine will have to figure out how to survive on this new and different plane.

Xander's Backstory
Originally from the plane of Cathmin, Xander was born to the noble House Dirigo.
Sparing the details for those who don't care for the plane, House Dirigo ruled over an area containing a few large cities.
Xander was taught the many Magics that involve keeping the peace, and keeping the money flowing. (WU, UB, WB) Xander, however, had no interest in maintaining his nobility, and left. He was thought kidnapped, then a traitor, and was hunted for a couple years, before being cornered by a team of knights, led by his father.
His spark ignited, and his last view of Cathmin was his father's turned back as a knight tried to execute him.
The next second, he was near a shrine on Kamigawa. He was sure he had died, until clerics explained the concept of planeswalkers. He spent a long time there, focusing on enchantments, and how to combine them with the magic he learned back home. (I would've started with Enchanter, but... only so many points to start.)
After deciding it was time to move on from Kamigawa, he wandered a bit, visiting Ravnica, Innistrad, and a few lesser-known planes, before finding the Arena.
Xander's History on the Arena
Xander entered the Arena, finding himself in a small ruined colosseum. Here, he found an ice sculpture, an exact copy of himself, which spoke in another's voice, and directed Xander towards a distant city. Following the ice's direction, Xander found the man whose voice had spoken to him earlier: Bell, a wizard with a small drake, and a hatred for telepaths. Before long, he found Doer, a skilled feline hunter. Nearly interrupting the duel was a cloud of vampire sirens, who flew to attack Xander. Trying his best to ensure everyone's safety, he assisted in the battle against the planeswalker Lindri. After this battle, he went to go check on Bell and Doer, and found Bell gathering a rage. After trying to calm him, and taking uncountable lightning strikes, he fled.
A short time after that scene, he finds a strange planeswalker named Vern, skilled in a kind of mana that Xander has no experience in.
Some time later, he was approached by a small group of bugbears.
He currently resides in the ruins of a city.

Rumors spread quickly about a farm that's abandoned by day, but is full of people at night.
It's said that those people drink, dance, play, and engage in all sorts of filth and debauchery.
It's also said that the host of these parties does some... less than legal things in his spare time.
(Quick physical description because I don't like any of the art I've found. I may or may not try to draw him and then put it on here:
5'11" Tiefling, not counting his horns which go up another 4-5 inches. (180cm and 11cm respectively for you people who use the better system)
Wears black pants and a black vest with a white shirt underneath. It's long-sleeved, but the sleeves are rolled all the way up.
Wields a multitude of identical small knives.)
