Special Abilities
One With Water (Su) A sorrowspring completely submerged in water gains incorporeal quality and incorporeal subtype.
Red Streams (Su) A sorrowspring can animate strands of blood-tinged water using them to attack creatures within 30 feet, animating single strand as a standard action or up to four strands as a full-round action. Each animated strand makes a CMB check against its target CMD. If the maneuver succeeds the target becomes entangled for one round and suffers 2d6 points of nonlethal damage from intense thirst and loss of water. The sorrowspring gains temporary hit points equal to nonlethal damage inflicted by this ability, stacking with each other. These temporary hit points last for 1 hour unless depleted first. The sorrowspring can also move targets by 5 feet for every 5 points her CMB check exceeded the target's CMD, as long as the target isn't moved more than 35 feet away from the sorrowspring.
Vulnerable To Dryness A sorrowspring suffers damage and other negative effects from effects that drain moisture, destroy water, or control water like it was a water elemental. Effects that inflict damage by causing intense thirst inflict lethal damage on sorrowspring despite it being undead with no need to drink.
Sorrowsprings are nymphs, naiads, and nereids, throughly corrupted into undead monstrosities haunting their old springs and ponds. While most of them lack ability to create undead directly, their corrupted dwelling usually contain enough taint to rise their victims to unlife spontaneously.

Severed Ear is dour and broody for he lost his ear together with his family and friends, when corrupted warlord lead his army across the lands and village where he lived, third son to the highborn village overseer magistrate. He survived the initial attack by being absent, venturing for a hunt with a lowborn friend, though his friend perished when they hurriedly returned, alarmed by the rising column of smoke. Severed Ear himself almost died that night, earning many scars, including his name-sake one.
Saved by Anata, he joined the Seven Young Fists for vengeance and stayed to bring justice to the lands wrecked by corruption, bandits, and monsters.

Anata is, in a sense the heart of the Seven Young Fists. A simple peasant born in masterless village, who stood up against bandits, defied a warmongering lordling's attempt to conscript him, and fought monsters with nothing but a pitchfork, never losing hope for justice and fairness. Ever cheerful and full of vitality, he expect the best in others and never gives less from himself. For all his valor and fairness, however, he remains a rural bumpkin, with poor grasp of manners, and little subtlety, often making some of his better-born companions cringe in shock and disbelief...

Capricious Shadow is flamboyant, insolent, blaze, distant, and unpredictable, as fitting his nekomimi heritage. Of all the Seven Young Fists, he is the most likely to take unsavory actions if he deems such necessary. Before joining the group, he was a thief—stealing more for the thrill than gain, gambling with the fortune over his livelihood and life, often picking corrupted magistrates and cruel aristocrats as his marks, although as he claims himself, there was no virtue in that, as there is little profit in stealing from the poor.
While he claims to be a villain himself, occasionally mocks matters such as honor or courage, and would not admit it, he is loyal to his companions and has a sense of honor that leads him to aid weak and downtrodden, preferably without their knowledge.
