Re: Introduce Your Character!
There she sat, staring into the flames at the gate of the great city of Pyr. The fire reminded her of the great unfortune that happened to her and her parents. Both her parents were quite good yubo farmers. They didn't care about the laughs and giggles they got from other fyros, even when they called them 'feeble Matis yubo herders'. Her father always said that whether you were herding yubo, gingo or the great dragon himself, it was not your profession that made you a great and strong fyros but the way you acted when faced with great peril and danger.
And so one day my father made clear to all that he was a great and strong fyros indeed. Two fyros children had wondered outside the gates of Pyr and found themselves on gingo-hill. My father who was returning home barely noticed what prey the distant gingo where lurking upon but when he heard the childrens screams he did not hesitate. Slaying half a dozen gingo's he managed to keep the children from becoming gingo lunch. Little harm was done to them but father had been clawed and bitten several times.
Although the family name now comes with some sort of fame, father paid the price. Yubo herding became difficult due to the ill-healing wounds and soon he was stuck to his bed with fevers and infections. He would not live to see summer again. Mother was devastated and *continues with a very soft voice* had to be housed with her sister for she would not even try to pick up normal life again.
Hephista was 20 when all of this happened. She tried to take over the yubo farm but business did not go very well. For two years she tried and survived until the day... something happened. She still doesn't know how it started, all she remembers is flames consuming the farmhouse and her trying to save the locked in yubo's, some unfortunate yubo's even caught on fire! She will never forget the sound of their squeeking nor the sight of flames engulfing her former home.
Now she sits at the great gate of Pyr, homeless with only one worn down set of light armour and a long sharpened stick. All she caries in her backpack (made of yubo skin) are a few dappers to buy food and drinks and a piece of amber with the family history. Her mind wonders on what she will do next. Her name is Hephista. Truth, Honor, Discipline and Justice are her values. She was born 2510 and she is ready to conquer Atys!
