Name: Sepia


Age: 19


Gender: Female


Race: Caskarieth - Syrieth




Backstory: A young outcast of the Syrieth. Was this her fault? No, no it was not. Her parents were essentially Romeo and Juliet. The prime heirs of the two prime and rival families of a typical hidden forest town. Fortunately, neither died, but both were disowned and exiled when they refused to abandon the other. After all, there were other, less problematic children. That is all Sepia ever learned of the reason that she was brought up alone with her parents, in a forest that seemed to be in an eternal winter. She nagged them for details constantly, but they never relented. In any case, her early life was happy. Despite the hostile surroundings, the family carved out a place for them in the forest. Hunting what few animals remained in the climate, gathering what few plants grew in the climate, and living in a small cave. Her father would always work on a cabin in his spare time, but it was never finished. Too much other work to do, just carving out a way to survive. So the cave they would stay in.


In any case, survival was difficult but not impossible. Her parents were able to put time into teaching her things when they were not busy making sure they lived to the next day. Sepia is able to read and write, as well as more essential and practical skills. Hunting, tracking, surviving. It is these skills that allowed her to join her parents on being helpful when she grew up to be a bit older.


As the years passed, Sepia eventually felt... a little stifled. Sure she was happy, but she was bored. Her forest home was grand and all, but couldn't there be more? She knew that other people existed, her parents had said as much with that tale of why they were out in the woods in the first place. Her parents hoped it was just the restless energy of a little girl, but as Sepia became a woman, it became exceedingly clear that it was not just a phase. In the end, their daughter convinced them that they could live a more luxurious and comfortable life than this. They refused, but when Sepia threatened to leave without them, they caved. The two of them could not stand the thought of her being alone and away from them after all this time together. And so they set off, not back towards their home, exile is for life, but towards somewhere, anywhere else.


It was not long before it all went terribly terribly wrong. They ran into Khantaruz territory, and a short, failed diplomatic session later and her parents were bleeding out on the ground whilst Sepia ran off into the woods she had called home for so long, regretting every decision she had made up to that point. Sepia had not run far when she was vanished out of the plane she had been in, and into Mallen's Abyss. Confused, alone, and traumatized, Sepia knows nothing but how to survive. And she will do so for her parents. It's all they had ever wanted anyway, to survive. She had stolen it from them, so it was only right that she do it in their memory.






Appearance: A youthful girl at 5'5". Sepia has a slender figure, with shoulder length dark brown hair. Her lengthy ears point out from behind the curtain of hair. Her face is round and delicate, with thin eyebrows, a small nose, and thin lips. Sepia is all wiry muscle, comes from living off the land for her whole life. Sepia's fingers are long and deft, and she is skilled with them. Sepia wears practical gear, armor and a cloak over a modest off-white tunic, brown leggings, and leather boots. All of this is homemade. The blue of her cloak is a particular luxury since dye was so difficult to make.


Equipment:


-Bow and Quiver that holds 20 arrows


-Simple Rapier


-Rudimentary Leather Armor


-Fur Cloak


-Waterskin


-Knife


-Small Bag






Skills:


Survival: Things such as building a fire, finding water, tracking animals, and knowing what kinds of plants are poisonous or safe to eat. Sepia is very adept at this. She can also build a rudimentary shelter for one in just a few hours.


Skinning/Tanning/Sewing: The skills used to make her own clothing. It takes time but she can make new ones, or even other things using animal skins.


Animal Handling: Sepia knows the behaviors of most common animals and beasts like the back of her hands. She is also able to tame some that are alone or for some other reason are more willing to have a master.


Stealth: Sepia knows how to sneak up on an animal to kill it for food. Sneaking up on a human or enemy is not much different.


Combat Credentials - Physical: An adept archer and okay swordswoman. She can shoot birds out of the sky, or the apple off a head at any second, and though she has been known to engage in fencing, and can fend for herself in close combat for a short time, it is not her strong suit. She is far better suited for range and quickly getting away from melee combat to continue shooting arrows.


Combat Credentials - Magical: Born with the ability to use magic, has not learned any specific spells. Is in tune with nature to the point that with little training or learning she could slightly manipulate or communicate with plants or animals.
