Editing Merlin Township (section)

==The Heroes of Merlin Township==
Merlin Township is a picturesque place with picturesque people. Depending on what you're looking at, this picture could be a Monet, a Magritte, or an Escher. Regardless of how you look at it, Merlin Township is a charming small town that has more than its fair share of oddity, and a nearly ever-present relaxing atmosphere. But despite how charming Merlin Township is, it has its share of problems. Rowdy visitors, overzealous pranksters, plain old human error, and more are there to ruin the day of an otherwise happy citizen. A lot of people would rather turn a blind eye to these problems, and go on thinking Merlin Township is paradise on Earth. But there are at least a few people who understand the expression, "The brighter the light, the longer the shadow." These are the Heroes of Merlin Township.

The Heroes of Merlin Township are a set of premade PCs for the setting, to serve as either someone to play or an inspiration for character creation. They can easily be inserted into a story as NPCs, as well.
