Other suggestions for characters (though they don't have to be exact) are:
Village children (tend to get into trouble and need rescuing)
Lost Dungeoneers (got lost in the village and are now stuck there, wandering and seeking their quest to escape)
Witches (of course - white witches and/or mean old hags that like to curse people)
Poltergeists (great for people who don't have much time to post - just turn up once every so often, cause havoc and go away again)
Farmers ("get orf moy larnd!")
Secret guilds (if a group of you join or a pair of you, a secret guild of assassins may be of interest)
...and anything else you can think of! Things are going great atm. Come join in the fun!
