The real truth is that Qal often gets lost in thought and zones out, and usually only tunes back in when they are required to, making them quite good at acting quickly and faking that they know what’s going on. They do prefer the company of animal companions over sentient beings, but that’s mostly due to not knowing very many people - living alone deep in a distant forest doesn't often give Qal the opportunity to make friends with people.[/color] [color=9e0b0f]The beast is always hungry and enjoys the taste of human the most, though it will happily eat anything humanoid. It will not eat any creature with magic, and often leaves them alone unless provoked. It tends to attack the strongest target first.[/color] [color=906B40]Likes: rodents, fungi, hand-crafted trinkets, rain, thought-provoking questions,[/color] [color=9e0b0f]spleens[/color] [color=906B40]Dislikes: large birds, procrastinating, assumptions,[/color] [color=9e0b0f]intestines[/color] [color=90AC4A][h3]Background[/h3][/color][color=906B40]Qal was cursed to turn into a mindless beast every new moon by a jealous druid who hated Qal's natural connection with nature. The cursed beast was meant to hunt and kill the forest creatures until the forest corrected the balance of things and killed Qal. However, even as a beast, Qal could not bring themself to harm a single creature in the forest, and instead fled, finding their way to a small village and slaughtering the entire population in their bloodlust. After that, Qal tried to look for a cure and locked themself up every new moon, but over time, they started to connect with their beast. Feeling bad about keeping a part of themself locked up, both metaphorically and physically, Qal stopped holding back and let themself run free during the new moon. Of course, word of a monster going on a rampage every month eventually got around and rumors of this beast being an old demon accomplice of the Fallen King started to gain traction. Hunters tracked Qal down after a new moon, and since Qal was no longer a beast during the day, the hunters turned Qal in instead of killing them - though after being imprisoned, Qal wonders if dying would have been the kinder fate. With nothing to do but think and talk to the rats, Qal has become closer to their beast, and while they haven’t fully mastered it, Qal has started to learn how to transform outside of a new moon. With this stronger connection - or because Qal is no longer fighting the part of them that is the beast - Qal no longer completely forgets everything while transformed, experiencing it much like a dream: with little control and a vague remembering upon waking up.[/color] [color=90AC4A][h3]Talents[/h3][/color][color=906B40][list][*]has immense knowledge of plants for alchemical purposes & knows recipes for various healing potions and poisons [*]has an incredible sense of sight and smell [*]always knows which way is North [*]can talk to most animals, though not always accurately[/list][/color][color=9e0b0f][list][*]the beast has incredible strength and senses - 10x that of Qal [*]the beast can detect any traces of magic [*]the beast moves so fast, most believe it teleports - only those with extraordinary vision or senses can tell when it moves [*]the beast can freeze anything it touches and always exudes a cold aura [*]the beast is immune to cold and ice [*]the beast's hide is tough and is difficult to cut through [*]the beast is stronger and faster the darker and colder it is[/list][/color][color=90AC4A][h3]Flaws[/h3][/color][color=906B40][list][*]turns into a beast every new moon [*]is unable to ignore an animal in distress [*]is immediately distrustful of anyone with magic[/list][/color][color=9e0b0f][list][*]the beast is very sensitive to bright light [*]the beast has very little intelligence - if things can't be smashed to solve the problem, it is unsolvable to the beast [*]the beast is considered a demon and shares a weakness to celestial/radiant attacks [*]the beast does not like fire - for both how hot and how bright it is[/list][/color][color=90AC4A][h3]Equipment[/h3][/color][color=906B40][list][*]squirrel skull necklace - made from their first familiar, Hawl, as a memento to remember him [*]bag of various herbs and plants [*]belt of bottles and vials - some filled, most empty (8x empty, 2x healing salves, 1x acid potion)[/list][/color][color=90AC4A][h3]Miscellaneous[/h3][/color][color=906B40]The beast is based off of a wendigo, and the transformations after Qal fully connects to the beast will function much like the Hulk does.
