/han≠kass'o character sheet.
His tribe wanders the area around the small mountain range to the south west, living off the land. The men are very skilled trackers and hunters, while women are very knowledgeable in finding the roots, tubers, nuts and other plants that can sustain life in the unforgiving wastes. Their life is one of efficiency an ingenuity, using everything, wasting nothing. One day a party of hunters came across an elven woman who had been bitten by a snake and was lying half-dead among the rocks. They had never seen her kind before. Curious, they administered an antidote for the poison and took her back to the encampment. She survived and for a while she lived amongst them and even took a husband from among the /kam-ssin !ku. Thus /han≠kass'o was born, but he was barely 5 years of age when his mother decided to rejoin her kin and left their tribe, leaving her son behind. This was no great trauma, as he had other mothers in the tribe, as well as grandmothers, brothers, uncles and sisters. As he grew up, it became quite obvious that he had inherited his mother's wandering lust, as he ranged farther than anyone in his play around the encampment. When he came of age, the elders sat together and decided that it was time for their tribe to send someone out into the world to learn about the ways of others. /han≠kass'o was a natural choice, given his hunger for motion and his empathy. Besides, the elders reasoned that should he return with valuable knowledge, this will help him integrate into the tribe. So he left off, striking towards north-east, following animal trails and caravan tracks, hiring himself out as a tracker and hunter in exchange for shelter. He was with a small caravan when they were ambushed by slave hunters during their midday rest. A few of the guards were killed, but most of the traders and travelers were taken as slaves and their possessions looted or discarded. It's been days since then and the wagon moves on and people die one after the other. He's been spitting half of his water ration in the mouths of the weakest ones and some of them still live, although for how long he does not know.

Name: Xia'Wa'Chhtt'Kttka
Race: Thri-Kreen Class: Ranger2/Psion2 Background: Xia is a j'hol hatched unto the Hinterlands about 4 years ago, with a racial memory so strong in tikchak he was deemed an incarnation of a great hunter indeed. He also showed some good ability as a chikak, and is abundant in natural curiousity. He balanced his hunting training with self-motivated research into the old ways, even going so far as to opening his mind and psionically delving into the recesses to tokchack, the Allmind. Fortunately, this was done without self-harm, and accomplished within him a new awareness of Thri-Kreen destiny as a whole. Though showing great promise as a potential leader within his own clutch, Xia decided his own destiny lies elsewhere. The Allmind is beautiful, and should be preserved in the upmost against the enroaching threat of the Lonely Ones who squat in the huntinglands and create their ugly cites and use up all their resources greedily. And the best way to do that is to instill Allmind with the knowledge it needs to properly defend itself against these Lost People. And so, armed with countless generations of hunter instinct, and blessed with the Allminds ability to see beyond the senses, Xia'Wa'Chhtt'Kttka set out on a journey to learn all he can about the lands around his homeland, in hope that his knowledge will be absorbed into the Allmind and help give proper defense against those that wish his people harm. His journey, however, was cut humorously short when he was ambushed at the very first oasis he found...

![]() Race: Human Class: Thief Background: Sold into slavery as a child, Elzix was owned by a tyrannical merchant by the name of Kaelan. Serving his master well into adolescence, Elzix attempted to escape numerous times. Each failed attempt at escape earned Elzix a firm beating at the hands of Kaelan. During one such beating, Elzix suffered the loss of his right eye, as well as several other injuries. One night, Elzix entered the bedchamber of his master, using a pillow to suffocate the merchant in his sleep. Escaping into the desert, Elzix survived for awhile off what little resources the land had to offer. He eventually resorted to ambushing and raiding trade caravans that had insufficient protection, making off with what provisions he could carry on his person. This lifestyle suited him well, earning him an unsavory reputation among the sands of Athas. A week ago, while gorging himself on the water of a small oasis, he found himself surrounded by slavers, forced once again into an all-to-familiar slave market. |
