The cellar where we all hid during the disaster that claimed the lives of everyone else....
Where was it? What was it? Why were we the only ones bundled into there? And what did we know about what was going on outside, before we were bundled into there?

I would suggest that perhaps something in the Town Hall or similar official building, and that basically we all lived close to there, and hence managed to get there before disaster overtook us all.

Why were there no adults? Logically, at least one, and probably at least one fighter type, would have been left to protect us, and be in charge of us. Clearly this didn't happen.

It makes sense that there would be a fighter type to protect us, but he could easily be outside of the cellar so that he could keep an eye out as well. Imagine opening the cellar door to find your loyal guardian entombed in ice...
I like the town hall cellar plan: parents rush the kids to the safest place nearby and then go back out to help with Stalwart the Hero by the cellar door to keep watch. Of course there's nothing special about a town hall cellar so there's the possibility that others found other cellars and escaped but we don't know about them.
On the issue of others from Tekal, here are three interesting characters I thought up:
Reggin Tolee, a tall teenager at the time of the disaster, was five years older than our group of friends. His dad was a bigshot in town and Reggin enjoyed bullying smaller kids, especially Allan whose good-natured losing he always found highly amusing.
Morallo, a strange elven wanderer, had lived in town for a decade by the time of the disaster. His stories and jokes delighted the children, though the adults considered him a harmless barmy although he had an uncanny knack for solving riddles and recalling legends.
Reina Springluster, an elderly halfling woman who owned a bakery in town. She was a shrewd business woman but goodnatured and always had an "extra" piece of sweetbread for the children.

No elves. Hmmm.

This means we might have to rework the history for the two half elves in the party. Single parent family, for one thing.

I'm here and in. Aemyon's character sheet is http://www.3eprofiler.net/3ep/view.php?id=14450. She gets on with Cox but was a pretty quiet girl and didn't gather a lot of other friends. When Cox and Allan were competing she would usually come along and seemed to be cheering silently. Calcarab and Eiliara were also friends, but she is easily cowed by their enthusiasm and doesn't seem comfortable talking to them. Hachumel also seemed friendly and was one of the few people that Amy would play with without Cox, though she wasn't any less shy around him. OK, I'm psyched, this'll be fun.

I'm here. Allan's character sheet

I already put this in, but I'll put it in again so it can be viewed with greater ease, and I'll add some info on the interaction with other characters. I was wondering about another thing...those descriptions of the characters' personalities on the last few pages...does that apply to before the disaster or after? And btw. I'm still looking for a sibling

As a child Allan loved competing, which is not suprising since he was one of the strongest children in the village. He would challenge anyone to a footrace, or contest of strength. He never bullied anyone, but would often tease those who refused to compete with him. He didn't have any close friends, but because of his easygoing manner, and jokes he was on friendly terms with everyone he knew. You can't remember him ever being in a bad mood. Even when he lost a competition he was a good sport and challenged his opponent to a rematch. More often than not, he won that rematch. Allan never refused a dare, even when it was obvious that sucess was impossible. When he failed, he suffered the consequences of that failiure stoically.

He considered Cox to be a good friend, not to mention a worthy opponent. He admired Cox's wit and agility. Allan noticed that Aemyon often hung around when he was with Cox, and made several attemps at befriending her, but was unable to do so due to her shyness.
The last you saw of Allan was when he was taken from the orphanage by a large, greyhaired man clad in armor, with a large, glowing warhammer at his side. You recieved a message or two from him, learning that he's currently living on Ysgard, and doing well. Any messages that were sent to him were not replied to, and later messages from him didn't give any sign as to whether he had recieved any of your messages. The condition of the messages you recieved bore many signs that described his lifestyle. The parchment was often stained with ale, grease, and from time to time...blood.

Calcarab, Emporer of Elsyium is here for your perusal. Not quite finished.. and no flavor text, but it'll do pig, it'll do.

I've adjusted Eiliara's character sheet, including taking her third belief out of the list. I'm not sure I can make it fit the requirements for a core belief, although I'll still be keeping it as a belief for her.
