Brief History: Obadiah was born of her tribe, self-called the Mal'okai, but referred to by outsiders as 'The Cutskin' due to their ritual scarification. The Cutskin were a warrior people, which heavily emphasized the hunting of great beasts, and were highly nomadic, wandering about the lands north of the Capital Wasteland. This led them to be at odds with most of their neighboring peoples. As it often happens to tribals, the Cutskin found themselves targeted by slavers and raiders. Despite their war-like tendencies, and violent response, the Cutskin were worn down by constant attrition. Finally, there were barely enough to call themselves a tribe, and the Cutskin survivors fled.
Obadiah was one such survivor, having only recently having been inducted as a full status warrior of the tribe. She escaped the slaughter and enslavement of her people, along with a small band of other refugees, to the south, where they settled in with the various settlements of the Capital Wasteland. The defeat and destruction of her tribe, however, hung on Obadiah's mind, and she refused to settle, instead striking out once more to the wasteland, where she might prove herself a warrior and regain the honor of the Cutskin.
Extra: Obadiah's Warclub - A custom war-club, traditional of the Cutskin in line with their war-like nature. This one is unique to her, and is a heavy, powerful weapon, enhanced with the teeth of a yao-gui on the head, to both pierce and pulverize. This weapon was crafted over months as Obadiah was initiated as a hunter and warrior, culminating in the slaying of a great beast and festooning it with the beast's remains. It never leaves her side.
