@DaysUntold, will the classic Forgotten Realms factions come into play much in this game? As in the Harpers, Zenths etc.?

krymel, not much. By level 5 you're in Avernus. Everyone's backstories will be woven into the story, including into the hell portion, but many of the background features will be less-than-useful at that point. So if you're looking for contacts, etc, probably not. That's not to say that devil's wont have their own agendas either supporting or hindering people of those groups if it suits their needs, though.

![]() Name: Bethani Johansdottir Age: 28 years Race: Half-Wood Elf (Momma's Side) Class: Ranger Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Background: Outlander (Origin: Hunter) Character Appearance: Bethani is of average height, for a Half-Elf, with long unkempt hair. Half is pulled back in an extreme pony tail, and the other half lays over the right side of her face, to hide a mark she earned long ago. She has sad, dull-brown eyes that show no emotion while meeting prospective clients. She typically wears a scale mail that was passed down to her from her mother. Under the armor is hidden a lean, but strong body, with more than her fair share of scars, each with their own story likely to never be told, but always to be remembered by her. Character Personality: Bethani is friendly... enough. Actually, most would not consider her to be friendly at all. But most of them are men who want to share a drink with her, rather than leave her to drink in peace. No one has, or ever will, consider her to be a great conversationalist. But the women and men who serve her drinks, and show her respect, find that she can be very generous with her tips. And those who hire or work with her often tell others of her professionalism and impressive skills. Personality Traits
Summary: I was raised by my mother, a full-blooded Wood Elf, to be a Monster Hunter just like her. Specifically hunting vampires, but others have fallen to my bow as well. She gifted me with an old set of her armor, before setting me on my final test. Having been taught that emotions are an unnecessary luxury has had its own toll on me, and I found myself looking for a way to bury my feelings. I found the opposite. What began as an occasional respite, has become a nightly need. A need that landed me in prison for three years, derailing my quest and leaving me knowing that Mother would be ashamed of me. Backstory: Bethani was born to an Elven woman in need of an apprentice to follow in her footsteps. She has no idea who her father is, only that he was a human adventurer that Mother once shared a passion with. Whether that passion was just the passing in the night that conceived Bethani, or an adventure the two shared beforehand, Mother has never told. From the time that Bethani could pull a bowstring back, and let it loose with control, she has known nothing but her training. Everything she did, was in the service of being the perfect Monster Hunter. She learned not to show any emotion, good or bad, during her training years. Only later does she realize what it was costing her, and yet she still needs her Mother's love and adoration. Five years before, Bethani was sent out into the world on the quest to bring home the lower jaws of twenty vampires. This, her mother told her, was how she would prove that she was a true Monster Hunter, and not to come home until she had such proof. At first, Bethani was steadfast and true to her goals. But after the first month, she realized that in order to continue her pursuit, she needed a more steady income. She began hiring herself out as a tracker, a hunter, or any other odd job that could pay for her room and board. And that was when she first found ale. And of course, ale lead her to prison, which eventually lead to her learning of the vampires that inhabited the city of Elturel, or at least had at one time. Excited by the idea of having such a rich hunting ground, Bethani traveled North to Baldur's Gate. From there she began her journey to Elturel, only to find herself in the path of a tidal wave of refugees that quickly engulfed her and pulled her along with it, heading back where she'd just come from, Baldur's Gate. Keeping her wits about her, Bethani stayed near the middle of the flood. When it finally crashed upon the gates, she dove low and slipped through the throng, pushing those in her way aside, down, and on one occasion, into the arms of a mercenary reaching for her. Once safely inside, Bethani made her way back to the tavern she'd only a few hours before called home. She wasn't sure what her next move would be. But she had a feeling that her skills might come in handy, for a price. RP Sample: Bethani woke with a start! Her heart beat quickly in her chest as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings. Something sticky coated her chest and her arms. Slowly, she started to look down, but a sudden spike of pain seized her, and her hands went to her temples instead. After what felt like forever, she released herself, and took another look. The sticky substance was blood, and she was covered up to her neck in it. Confused, she checked herself for wounds, but there wasn't any. Deciding she needed to leave, now!, Bethani slid her legs out of bed, reaching out for the ground. Instead, she found the leg of someone else laying on the floor. Bethani's feet immediately retracted back to the bed, before she looked down upon a man she vaguely remembered. Another stab of pain inserts itself into her brain. Fighting through it, she finally gets off the bed and turns the man over. Just as she had feared, he was the source of blood that covered her. Worse still, she found one of her stakes under him, clearly the weapon used to kill him. Bethani felt sick. She turned away and tossed her insides near the foot of the bed. After a few breaths and more heaves, she was beginning to feel a shy bit better. The pain lanced her skull once again, but she grit her teeth, trying to think on what to do next. She could use the wash basin, clean herself up, and make a run for it. And part of her wanted to do it. It was a nice city, but she had no real connection to it. It wasn't her room. Was it? She stood up and made for the basin, then stopped when she saw herself in the mirror. Before her she saw a monster, no better than those she hunted. No, she couldn't bring herself to run. She had to face up to what she might have done. Pulling her tunic on for decency, Bethani padded down the stairs to retrieve the tavern owner, or one of her assistants. The owner, a Halfling woman who always had a warm smile for her patrons, heard Bethani's approach and began greeting her without looking up. "What'll ye be having m'd..." Her smile falls as she sees the girl covered in blood, her arms covered protectively over her stomach. "Come here, come here, come here." she took Bethani by the arm and pulled her to the back. Bethani, not entirely in her wits, was not a little surprised by the strength of the Halfling, and so was easily pulled along. "Tell me what happened?" "I... I don't know." Bethani answered honestly. "There's a dead man laying in my... I don't even know if it's my room, or not." The fear overwhelmed Bethani, a sudden onslaught of emotions she wasn't used to having, and she burst into tears. Her arms began to open, but closed over her belly again. "He's dead." she says quietly. The Halfling pulled herself to Bethani, holding the young woman in a hug. "It's alright dear. Everything will be alright, you'll see." It was a lie, of course. But she needed the girl to remain calm. And a hug was what she needed, not harsh words. Those, unfortunately, would come later. "Let's get you clean up, and I'll send somebody to fetch the authorities." she turned her head to one of her boys just starting to take out the morning trash. "Willem, go get the magistrate." she ordered, before leading Bethani to an unoccupied room to get washed up. Last edited by In the Mix; 11-23-2019 at 12:51 PM. |
