Alrighty, here's my character
Name/Alias: Saya
Species: Frost Sprite
Species Lore: Sprites are supernatural creatures that come in many different shapes and sizes, each attuned to a certain aspect of nature, though none as strong as Elementals and similar species. Sprites' behaviour varies greatly; some help mankind, while others try their best to make their lives miserable for example.
Appearance:
Saya is 18 (human) years old and has white hair and pale skin. She wears a simple, slightly damaged dress (it seen it's fair share of damage, though it's been patched up with some simple sowing) and simple sandals (she doesn't need to worry about the cold). Saya's hair is long and generally a bit of a mess, and she stands at around 5'0"/1.52M tall.
Faction: N/A
Biography:
From a young age, Saya has always been fascinated by Humans, especially those that lived in the small village near her home in the mountains - one of the few places with snow even in summer - and tried her best to fit in. While only really able to live in wintery conditions, Saya did her best to help the villagers near her home where she could, her abilities helping hunt food in winter and doing other things humans would have trouble doing in the cold. Over time, the villagers grew fond of Saya and got used to her presence, and she lived a happy life.
That, however, would not last forever. Word of Saya's presence spread to neighbouring villages, and eventually reached the ears of some unsavory people, who decided that Saya would be worth a lot of money if they got their hands on her, and hatched a plan. On a day of celebrations, when everybody was out having fun, the group of bandits attacked the town, taking everybody by surprise. Making short work of anybody who had a gun, and then decided to kill the others to avoid leaving witnesses while they took both Saya and all the money in the local bank, torching the town for good measure.
Saya, heartbroken by the loss, was demoralized, having lost everyone she cared for. She ate little as the criminals travelled further and further away, until winter started coming to an end. Knowing that she probably wouldn't survive the heat, she managed to escape one night (the criminals had their guard down because Saya didn't seem like she'd try to escape) and ran off into the mountains, far away from the criminals.
A few years have passed, and with the coming of the Weeping Winter, Saya has decided to take action. Having spent her time practing her hunting skills and acquiring a rifle, Saya has set out to find those that killed those she cared about, taking the occasional job as hunter, guard or even assasin as a source of money.
Personality: Friendly, Loyal, Shy
(Saya is, if you get to know her well enough, a friendly and loyal person, though she doesn't socialise a lot, so she's difficult to befriend.)
Melee Weapons: Saya carries a simple knife, both for skinning game, or stabbing people that get too close.
Projectile Weapons: As befits her jobs and abilities, Saya carries an accurate, scoped rifle (1 Shot) and a backup derringer (2 Shots)
Skills/Abilities:
Being a Frost Sprite, Saya has several abilities related to the cold and snow.
- Cold Resistance: Saya is immune to the cold (though she's not stupid enough to go out without clothes to prove it) due to her nature as a Frost Sprite, allowing her to spend the night out without needing to setup camp.
- Stealth: While not actually invisible, Saya is very difficult to detect in the snow. She doesn't leave footprints and can blend in easily, though she can't hide as well when she's running, and she can still be heard by those nearby
- Accuracy: Saya is an accurate sniper, able to hunt game and humans with equal ease
- Snow Regeneration: If Saya is buried under snow and left alone for a while, she can hibernate and heal wounds, (4 hours worth of rest heals simple wounds and might heal some broken bones, but won't heal anything very serious, that takes longer)
Other:
I'll just put in some weaknesses and such in here:
- Heat Weakness: While heat won't instantly kill her, the longer she spends in a warm place, the weaker she gets and the less energy she has. While spending some time in front of a hearth won't do her in, spending several days in a warm building without going in will leave her significantly weakned
- Carnivore: Non-Meat Food doesn't provide Saya with a lot of energy, forcing her to eat meat. (It can sate her hunger though)
- Can't ride Horses: Simple, Saya doesn't know how to ride a horse
- Uneducated: Saya never really got any formal education, she barely knows math (she can do simple calculations though) and is rather oblivious to most social etiquette
