Skills

A listing of skills, such as horseback riding or cooking. Levels include novice (0.5 pt), apprentice (1 pt), journeyman (2 pt), expert (3 pt), master (4 pt), grand master (5 pt). Each character can spend 21 points & only two skills can be mastered and one grand mastered. If your character knows magic, it counts as a skill.

Nature magic: Apprentice (1)

Melee Fighting: master (4) From the ages 12-16, when she lived in the druid monastery, she wasn't very good with nature magic and desperately wanted to be useful to the druids she took up fighting. The druids education plan was based on thoroughly indulging yourself in your vocation, spending every waking hour you could harnessing your ability, so naturally, with it being her only real use to the druids, she got really into fighting.

Intimidation: Master (4) She has unintentionally tuned herself for aggression since she was little, between her life in the gypsy caravan, her time training with the druids and the years she spent in the harsh wilderness, the circumstances she was raised under makes it both hard to turn her aggression off and but makes it easy for her to flip the switch back when she needs to.

Ranged Fighting: Journeyman (2) She figured hunting was a very important part of hunting and something she should probably get good at but her arms aren't strong enough for it and sitting and aiming isn't exactly easy to do when you go into a blind rage everytime you have to fight something.

Stealth: Expert (3) She hunts a lot so she has a pretty good idea of how to stalk prey but her hunting style depends on her being intimidating and brutal so she doesn't retain her stealth for very long usually.

Perception: Grand Master (5) She can't read social cues very well, so she tries really hard to be as observant as possible she's good at retaining and recognizing information but isn't super great at inferring meaning from it. That combined with living in the woods and hunting demons has made her incredibly paranoid.

History

Myth / Legend:
Hex lived in a caravan full of demonic gypsies (think tieflings). As she spent her time travelling from place to place she learned to appreciate nature as it provided a respite from her life in the caravan. The gypsies eventually set up outside a monastery of human druids. The members of the monastery shut their doors as soon as they saw the group arrive. The druids did however send out small parties of people to greet and communicate with the group, one of which was a druid named Jinae who started a friendship with Hex with their mutual love of nature being the catalyst. He started visiting Hex pretty regularly and she was always happy to see him because he always had new things to show her and new subjects to teach. Eventually as she entered puberty, she began to develop feelings for him.

The caravan eventually decided to move on and Hex confronted her family saying that she was leaving to live with the druids. This escalated into a fiery argument that ended in Hex burning every single bridge she had with her family. She went up to the monastery where her membership was met with cautiousness considering what she was. Jinae vouched for her however and she started her training as a druid.

The druid way of living is very conservative, and the system of morality is simple, with sinfulness not only being a definable thing but a calculable numerical unit. They believe everyone is born with a certain amount of sinfulness with humans being naturally good and demons being naturally evil. You can effect this depending on what you do in your life but things like your race are incredibly significant. The initial demon score is so low that generally they don’t allow demons to join because the most holy of demons never have a positive score. Jinae allowed her in though because he thought the number was wrong and that a demon who strictly followed the druid code could have a score high enough to gain druid powers.

Much to the dismay of everyone the druidry lessons weren’t working. Jinae made the assumption that it was because she was just too sinful and nature just refused to connect with her. He started attempting methods to make her pure, after a while it was obvious that his attempts weren’t going anywhere. His attempts to make Hex not demonic became more desperate and dangerous using techniques like bleaching her skin and having her bathe in holy water using her obvious love for him as a motivator to go along with his more drastic attempts.
With time the experiments eventually stopped. At the end of it Hex finally got the courage to tell Jinae that she loved him. Both disgusted with what she was turned into and that she will always be a demon, he told her that he could never love something so impure.

Hex slowly got angrier and more into fighting so she could still be useful to the druids despite her terrible connection to nature as well as attempt to help her get over her feelings of insecurity and self-hatred towards the fact that she was a demon. The druids started slowly becoming afraid of how quiet she got and how aggressive she started to become. Out of fear of what this demon could do to them or was possibly planning she was asked to leave. She complied, she left without a fight. She ran off into the woods in an attempt to find a way to make herself pure, so she can come back and continue her studies as a druid and win Jinae’s heart. Taking a drum, some sickles, a helmet to help her control her demonic traits and some of Jinae’s clothes to smell. She then went traveling from town to town finding demons to kill.

Parents: Limara and Tibar were the ones that raised her, but it's questionable if Tibar is actually her father or not.
Siblings:She has 8 but had no real connection with any of them
Childhood:Hex was born to a group of
gypsies. Her life inside of the caravan was difficult. With resources constantly low, competition for things like toys and proper food servings only belonged to the most aggressive children. However it's not like Hex wasn't an aggressive child, but Hex was small and as a result of her malnourishment still is.
Adulthood: She's spent her entire adult life in the wilderness, slowly becoming more feral and letting her emotions stew, with her only real therapeutic thing in her life being killing demons and whatever poor forest creature crosses her path when she's hungry.
Special Moments: The time she met a prostitute and fell in love with her. The moment she realized this was when she heard her having sex with someone through a door, she doesn't normally do well around sexual things but this tore at her for weeks. She tries not to think about it a lot but when she does she goes into long episodes of despair. Her desire for her and her oath to stay pure was difficult to reconcile, ultimately ending with lashing out at her and ruining any chance of a relationship they could've had.

Anything Else:

Twilight on The Great Plateau.

Objiten is a nation where the entirety of its populated area is on one side of a large taiga, that leads to the Avishoun Table which is assumed to be the biggest plateau in the world. The plateau was once home to an ancient society that roughly 1,200 years ago suddenly died out, the reason behind this is unknown. The lore of the current avian natives states that they are the descendants of those that survived whatever horrible cataclysm befell that plateau. None of them dares expand towards the treeline because the people that walk in, who mostly consist of criminals trying to escape the law and small Objiten research parties, never return or come back in small boxes of body parts. No one knows for sure why this happens either, but if you consult local lore again it’s either a gateway to the afterlife that only the pure of heart can get through or filled with spirits and monsters that radiate from the city. Under normal circumstances staying away from the forest wouldn’t be much of a problem, but these bitter wastes are one of the last refuges for most life on earth. Over the course of 2-3 years or so, a miasma has covered the world with poison and the cold of this area has halted it. The influx of refugees, however, has taken a massive toll on the already small amount of resources the nation has.

You're currently all at a small hole in the wall inn. It's warm and full of people but the amount of silence is chilling, not to say there isn’t some noise but given the number of people you’d expect it to be louder. It's mostly filled with other refugees staring into their drinks with eyes like rusted faucets. A native server looks pityingly as she passes drinks to customers. The owner sits behind the counter and sheds a tear looking at the display and wipes it with a large stack of foreign bills. Most of the bar's seating is in the form of booths that hug the wall. A group of three tall, heavily veiled people in bamboo hats sit on the floor.

Notes:

Weapons: Firearm technology hasn’t gotten past the wild west era so you’re mostly restricted to lever action rifles and revolvers, but guns in this place are an incredibly rare and hot commodity. So everyone mostly depends on swords and bows and the like. Magic also exists but is not very well understood because there isn’t really an organized effort to catalog any of it and the number of fake magic scrolls in circulation makes the effort of learning even more difficult.

Information On the Races: There are avian people and there are fish people and there are humans for the most part. No terrestrial furries are allowed unless specifically approved.

-Fish people can both breathe air and breathe underwater they’re also really great at sensing other living things in their environment.

-Bird people are able to fly and are generally pretty agile but are also very fragile due to their hollow bones and light bodies.

-Humans are humans.

(There is going to be combat but don’t depend on that aspect of your character too much.)

Howdy

I hope I'm not too intrusive during these kinds of things.
