I'm the sup/tg/ guy. So, uh, here's my character.
VarakynFemale Shifter Avenger
Character SheetHistoryPolitics, pacts, laws, the so-called civlized world - none of these meant anything to Varakyn. Were it her choice, she would never have come to the blunt-teeths's city at all. But it was not her choice. The shaman had seen portents in the smoke of her fire, and so Varakyn had left behind the dry prison of a reservation her people had been forced onto. The Lady of Endings had need of her servant in this place. And perhaps in this service the People would be raised back to their rightful place.
Of course, the goddess' plans were not entirely clear. All Varakyn knew was that she needed to journey to this place, and so she had come. What was required of her would be revealed in the fullness of time, as long as she remained alert for the signs and omens. Meanwhile, Varakyn needed to survive among the omen-blind and cowardly blunt-teeth.
It seemed various tribes and warrior societies in this place were engaged in a protracted feud of some kind. The war leaders and chieftains of this people had need of skilled fighters, and no warrior was as deadly as one of the Mistress of Winters servants. So Varakyn swore her sword to one of these warleaders, after dispatching a few of his enemies in a manner that seemed to impress - and terrify - him.
So Varakyn, Avenger of the Raven Queen, remains in this place, waiting for the will of her goddess to make itself apparent, keeping to the ways of her people, and slaying the enemies of her sworn war leader. If these blunt-teeth only knew how to cook a proper meal, life would be good.
PersonalityVarakyn views the mores and customs of the city and its inhabitants as beneath her, and treats non-Shifters with barely concealed disdain. She follows the code of the warrior, according to the tenets of her people, and thus tends to be self-assured to the point of arrogance. She also acts as if she fears nothing and that the possibility of her own death is so incosequential that it need not be acknowledged. Additionally, she tends to follow the most conservative and mystical versions of her people's traditions. Because of this, Varakyn views the world around her in a way that is mostly incomprehensible to the locals, which has given her a reputation for scary randomness. Its unclear how much of this is intentional on Varakyn's part.
Ultimately, Varakyn is a true believer in her goddess and the ways of her people. She despises the other races for defeating the Shifters and forcing them onto reservations, but also respects their apparent strength despite not being able to account for it. Varakyn avoids liquor and gambling as much as she can, having seen too many of her tribe fall prey to such vices. She also maintains a front of disinterest in the details of the soul-trade or in the underworld politics surrounding it. This is only half-true - while she cannot fathom why it exists, putting it down as just another incomprehensible quirk of the other races, at the same time she follows it as best she can in case it turns out to be related to the task the Raven Queen requires of her.
