Can you just remove the gold coins thing? I have yet to decide what the currency will be but it won't be gold. I will probably make up some barter system.

 

[TheAdept]

But other than that I would accept.

Spoiler: Origin

Born into a nomadic gang/tribe called the Bone Speakers, Shisa was raised by the tribe, not knowing who were her parents. She didn't really care, it took a village to raise a child. The tribe, or gang as some called them, was heavily spiritual and superstitious. It's been so long, they don't really remember where exactly all of the different rituals and gods came from. It is a blend of pretty much all religions and spiritualism. The Speakers were mainly hunters and occasionally raiders, taking from other tribes and hunting what they could, occasionally engaging in ritualistic cannibalism. Shisa was trained to hunt by the Elders, but she specialized in bone carving and spiritual rituals. The tribe would often use mixes of different plants and mushrooms to ascend and see visions, another specialty of Shisa's. She was a witch doctor of sorts in the tribe. Someone back before the Event who joined the Speakers was a doctor, so the practices have been passed down as close to original as they could be. More recently, Shisa had a vision of the Devil's and demons plaguing the wastes. Of an enemy she had to defeat so the tribe would be safe. A group of evils spirits: The Nobles. Shisa has donned her mask and set out to defeat the evil, never telling her name or where she came from. Only her title, her new name.

Corvid15 So she is basically an average person (as in not supernatural) but has a superstitious understanding of things (such as thinking hallucinations are "visions")?
That's perfect!

Also, you can still have a sort of inn set up in some ruins but as has been mentioned in the first post of the rp the town is basically abandoned.

Well, i see some entertaining interactions between Shisa and Ryder

 

[TheAdept]

Very tribal stuff looks like. Awesome!

 

[Corvid15]

What if her tribe killed Ryder's?

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Ryder was raised in Nobility as a concubine, Shisa's tribe would have never gotten near

 

[TheAdept]

Though it looks like maybe Ryder's old lord might have had some hand in killing Shisa's tribe

 

[Deadwood Deer]

True

 

[Deadwood Deer]

That's an interesting conversation I don't think RPN would like, though

 

[TheAdept]

Remember, nobody cared until we brought it into ooc last time.

 

[Corvid15]

I misspoke. I meant Shisa's killed Auroras gang. I misread and misspoke. And Shisa's tribe isn't dead. I didn't think. She's just on an ayahuasca fueled spirit quest.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Blame it on Shisa's stash, she apparently knows where the good stuff is

 

[Corvid15]

It's herbalism.

 

[TheAdept]

Is ayahuasca basically another cactus hallucination brew like peyote? I gotta get me some of that!

 

[Deadwood Deer]

I'm just poking fun at the visions bit, it's basically describing getting high on 'shrooms and seeing some shit
