NarilVery note format(y) stuff (adding more quite soon):
Name: Sefa of the Red Veil
Sobriquets: The Red Hand
Concept: An arcane monk, seeking communion with the First Sorcerer and to follow in his footsteps along the blood red path of enlightenment.
Origin:
uncertain heritage
gifted to the Red Order by her parents, in return for services offered by the talented healers of the order, her life bartered for that of an older sibling wasting away from an unknown sickness
raised by the monks of the Red Order
little connection to her former life, no knowledge of her family or the small village she was born in
trained by her master, a prodigious sorcerer, in the arcane arts
ventured out into the Known World of her own accord, encouraged by her teacher and the red worms that reside deep within her mind
traveled from settlement to settlement, plying her trade, healing those in need, always seeking the lost knowledge of the First Sorcerer
drawn to the Silver Spear by the familiar whispers of the First Sorcerer and visions of a blood red moon
Appearance:
clad in a blood red robe
calloused and scarred hands, the mark of her trade, dealing in blows and blood with nothing more than her fists
athletic build, the product of years spent under the strict tutelage of the Red Monks
Skills and Flaws
Monastic Training:
a quiet life of contemplation apart from the world
studied ancient treaties, mastered the healing arts, and practiced the skills needed to defend her faith and to fight for the cause of the Red Order
Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms:
ancient and mysterious fighting art of the Red Order
trained to fight without the benefit arms or armor, inflicting heavy blows that buckle the strongest of metals and evading strikes that would harm her
preternatural awareness, allowing her to dodge an attack even if she is not consciously aware of it
ability to stun opponents with unarmed blows
crueler still, strikes to pressure points, that sour the blood, disrupt the organs, and cause her foes to be torn apart from within
The Path of Worms: a student of the First Sorcerer
The Eight Virtues: adheres to a strict code of honor
lawful, but not necessarily good
Hooks:
Initiation: Awakened by the red worms and the voice of the First Sorcerer.
Weirds
Arcane Hands of the Master: channels arcane energy through her being, allowing her to perform amazing feats, imbues her strikes with arcane energies, harming or healing those she touches
Eyes of the Dragon:
Abundant Step: can slip magically between gaps in the fabric of the Known World, teleporting from one spot to another
Nephilim:

Hooks:
- In the course of her travels, Sefa has managed to attract the ire of a powerful noble and made an enemy of this famed knight of the Wolf-Haunted Kingdom.
- The young monk has but two immediate desires, to further her knowledge of the arcane arts and to continue her travels across the Known World.
- Sefa cares primarily for the perfection of her arcane art and, thereby, her own personal perfection. Her ultimate goal is to achieve a state of being that lies far beyond the mortal realm.
SOUL - WHAT YOU ARE BENEATH THE SKIN
Initiation: Awakened by the red worms and the voice of the First Sorcerer.

Applicable but random lore composed thanks to boredom:
The Red Keep is the fortress monastery of an ancient order of monks known as the Red Order. Famed for the peerless healers that are trained deep within the halls of the Red Keep, the order is shrouded in mystery and none, save perhaps the Lord of the Red Order, is aware of the true history of the monastic order.
Secluded from the world behind the towering walls of their fortress, the monks maintain good relations with the remaining kingdoms of the Known World and the esoteric members of the order are unquestionably welcomed for the training they possess.
At the heart of the order is a dark secret, known only to the most devoted of students. The voice of the First Sorcerer, speaking through the red worms, has guided the masters of the order across the ages, long before even the first stone of the Red Keep was laid.
