I am looking for some partners for a quest. Its a short but interesting scenario not limited to the realms, races, classes, or lore of DnD. This quest is built for a good balance of socializing, investigation, and combat in the form of a hunt. While the quest is a one off scenario, the story doesn't have to end there. Looking for those up for a good adventure, collaborative storytellers, or even those just looking for something short n sweet. Knowledge of DnD isn't required, inspiration from Elder Scrolls and Guild Wars were put into this. Send a message or post here if you are interested! [Hider=Kotaka GhostPine] [Center][H1]Kotaka GhostPine[/H1][/Center] [Center][i]Titles: Member of the clan GhostPine, Slayer Of Sholith[/i][/Center] [Center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Odi6ahHm.jpg[/img][/Center] [List] [*] Race: Half Human / Half Shifter (LongTooth) [*] Class: [url=https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-M4YoEi3YXAv4NNTnbmS]Revenant, by Wulfrics[/url] [*] Age: 20s-30s [*] Alignment: Lawful Neutral/Good [/List] Kotaka GhostPines is a mostly human male and hunter by trade, heralding from the distant foothills of Dead Mountain. He is a Myst Dancer, a being connected to the Mysts where spirits of ancestors reach out to him. Now, he wanders the land in search of legendary prey and to set the spirits to rest. [H3]Description[/H3] [u][i]Appearance[/i][/u]: Kotaka embodies many of the common traits of the people of his home land Dead Mountain. He stands around 5’ 10’’ with a lean build. His skin is the color of warm clay that is rough from enduring the cold and windswept landscapes of his home. His dark, medium length hair is usually held back with a linen wrap. Along with is dark hair is a matching wispy goatee. Tired grey eyes. There are a few traits that hint at his shifter ancestory: slightly pointed ears, refined senses, a bit hairier. Kotaka is marked by the Mysts with a spiral of lightning scars around his heart. [Center][img]https://i.imgur.com/BreNCAMm.png?1[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/XpOrJn0m.png?1[/img][/Center] [u][i]Personality:[/i][/u] Kotaka was once a mischievous and fun loving boy, with respect for his people, traditions, and the land. After the reveal of his role as a Myst Dancer, the child side of him died. His instincts guide him in much of what he does, attune with his primal qualities as a hunter by trade. While he matured fast there are still pieces of him that reveal a warm side to him. He is curious, compassionate, and kind. At times he has a temper and is a bit over zealous though. Background: [url=https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Slayer_(5e_Background)]The Slayer[/url] Trait: "I am very proud of myself and my history, and consider my past career to be glorious and honorable." Ideal: "Purity. I fight to destroy the the evil which corrupts our world. (Good)" Bond: "I am fighting to protect something or someone important to me" Flaw: "My actions have incidentally put me at odds with a specific nation, religion, faction, or other organization." [H3]History[/H3] Kotaka grew up listening to the wind that shook pine, water lapping on the rocky lake shore, and the tense silence of Dead Mountain. His people were some of the last practitioners of the old ways- thriving on the ancient knowledge and practices of their ancestors native to the areas around the aforementioned Dead Mountain. Kotaka’s clan was GhostPine, the foresters and hunters of the foot hills below the mountain. Around bonfires Kotaka recounted the stories his Elders shared with him, his siblings, and cousins. Tales as old as the bones of the world, of Legends from times long past. Those were his favorite. Along with hunting, recounting these stories were some of his fondest memories. It is the tradition of his people, when a young member of the clans reached a certain age they were put to trial. To become a full member of the clan they must pass a test, depending on which clan you came from. For Kotaka, it was simple, hunt a great beast. Don’t return home till its done. His journey spanned several days and nights, wherein which he experienced far more than just the thrill of the hunt. Kotaka entered Dead Mountain and returned with the hide of his prey and something else: a Mark. Kotaka had crossed from the realm of mere men, into the Mysts- the realm of the spirits. He had become a Myst Dancer. The shamans greeted Kotaka with words from the spirits. His destiny lay beyond their haunted foothills. Follow the voices and tracks of his prey, then return home once more a Legend. [H3]Connections[/H3] [List] [*] Lodge Of Seasons - An organization of recognized hunters, trappers, and guides.
