Not sure if this works. It's an ordinary person from my campaign.

Gyeltsen Amjal [ -41 points]



Image: A tattooed man of clear Iksi stock. His eyes are perhaps a bit widely spaced. He stares a bit too much into the distance. He smiles at inopportune times, and shouts at villagers. He is extremely thin, almost to the point of being malnourished. He is dressed in very fine robes of red, blue, and yellow, ragged and dirty at the hems. Sewn onto his robes are prayer cloths that resemble the tattoos on his body.

Notes: The campaign is set medieval world with ambiguous answers to the nature of magic. It's safe to assume magic does not really exist - this is simply a particularly callous and cruel example of sympathetic folk magic. Iksi is a small group of ethnically similar tribes living in mountains. They have successfully avoided annexation or conquest by nearby neighbors.

Background: Having a normal Iksi childhood, Gyeltsen grew up the simple son of a simple farmer. Around puberty, he began to experience hallucinatory voices. Taken to the nuns of the village, they discovered that he had accidentally swallowed a demon. Horrified, his parents left him with the nuns to be raised as a Demon Killing Demon, to go into the great cave and slay the Guphā Prēta that gives the village it's name.

The life of a revered warrior should be filled with exercise, training, and luxury. However, it is an open secret that no Demon Killing Demon has ever killed the Guphā Prēta. Girded in prayers and given a bronze capped cudgel and shield, he is to be sent into the cave during the week of the Demon's Eye Moon, amid ceremony and celebration.

The nun's know that within days of entering, the screams of the demon will mix with the cries of Gyeltsen. Soon silence will return, and the great cave demon will be satiated for another year.

Gyeltsen is very happy to be a hero.
