Join us for NerdsGiving 2019!

This year, NerdsGiving is joining Heifer International in fighting hunger and poverty while caring for the Earth! Each donation helps to transport food and income-producing animals, as well as provide intensive training for how to create sustainable businesses. Our NerdsGiving teams are raising money to help Heifer to gift animals, fruit and nut trees, and technology for safe water and food preparation. Families who work with Heifer International also agree to "Pass on the Gift" and share the training they've received as well as the offspring of their gifted animal, helping their communities grow along with them.

Adelaide Chaucer

Human Fighter (Arcane Archer)

“Skill holds far more weight in this world than luck or good intentions.”

Adelaide is a native to the city of Ashport. As a child, she tore into any book she could get her hands on: stories of adventure and heroes, histories, tomes of science and arcane magic. She absorbed as many as she could, wanted to master it all and one day find her own name within their pages. As a young woman, every hour was spent tirelessly working to be the best archer and scholar she could be. Determined to reach greatness in something. Her family drilled into her that the world was not a fair place, and that one could only rely on one’s own strengths to get by.

Which is why, against her family’s wishes, Adelaide leapt at the opportunity to become one of the Proctors, a private arcane police force run by the Birchfield Institute. Proctors were just about the closest thing to adventurers there was to be found in Ashport anymore, and they earned respect and fame while protecting the people of the city. A perfect fit, she thought. But Adelaide’s audition did not go as planned. Rejected from entry into the ranks of the Proctors, this proud and talented young woman was forced, for the first time in her life, to contend with absolute failure and shattered dreams.

A ray of hope appeared in the form of a recruiter, Roben, who offered her a job as a ‘Fetcher,’ a mercenary hired to do the Institute’s less savory work. These bounty hunters didn’t get paid as well, didn’t have the Institute’s resources, and didn’t get the prestige of hunting down magical artifacts or monsters. But Roben promised she could apply to the Proctors after a few years if she proved their talent. And Adelaide was ready to do just that. Though, she didn’t plan to take that long…

“Keep your guard up and always keep them guessing.“~ Dallas

Dallas has been moved all over the world with her father, the Major Frank McGee. Despite her outward appearance of a punk army brat, Dallas has a soft spot for animals and a thirst to prove herself as a female kickboxing champion. Never one to turn down a good party, she found herself in the woods on the eve of Walpurgisnacht, ready to begin her new life as a university student, finally ready to “grow up.”

Join us NOVEMBER 1st through 15th to support LGBTQ+ Youth and the Trevor Project!

We at Nerdsmith feel that it is incredibly important to support future generations. This is especially true for those who are part of marginalized groups, such as LGBTQ+ youth. Now more than ever, LGBTQ+ youth are dealing with bullying, prejudice, ignorance, and sometimes hate. While we are actively working to create a supportive and inclusive environment in our Nerdsmith community, we need your help to make our efforts go even further!

Our annual fundraiser ‘Nerds Giving’ runs from November 1 to November 15 each year. For our first year we have chosen to support The Trevor Project. As the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning youth, The Trevor Project supports thousands of youth every year and lobbies against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.

Your support will go toward The Trevor Project’s programs. This includes multiple resources for suicide prevention and crisis intervention support. It also includes The Trevor Support Center, a place where LGBTQ youth and allies can find answers to frequently asked questions, and explore resources related to sexual orientation, gender identity and more!
