[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Spiritmon]

AAAAAAAA I'm sorry that I'm late to respond to you here! Got somewhat busy withe even more damn paperwork for my soonish appartment, ugh.

Here my character from the Tormenta 20 campaigh I will participate!

Moldraith, the Aberrant Druid

Moldraith Info

Full Name: Moldraith "Jamelão" (A type of red fruit who exist in Brazil)

Race: Kaijin

Class: Druid

Background: Galrasia Drugger.

Backstory: There a few things to unpack here before go into his backstory. In Tormenta 20, the setting is a world called Arton, a world with medieval style (although there a certain level of technology). And there some kinds of differents dangers such undead, a nazi type of group trying to take the world for only humans, evil gods, etc etc. But the greatest danger of all: The Tormenta (or the Storm). Basically the Tormenta is a basically a storm filled with Demons. Demons in the form of aberrations in insect form (which is unknow if they're true nature, since it is the only form mortals can percieve. Think as a Cthulu or elder evil thing). That "Storm" can infect a entire area, and turn into a Tormenta zone, where those "demons'' lives. They are caled "Lefeu". Tamura was once called the Jade Kingdom, land of Samurais and ninjas, but it was once consume by the Tormenta, and most of its inabitants (and structures) became the flesh know as Lefeu.

But...the Tormenta in that area was once defeated, and its lands freed. But, a few creatures, survivors of the turning of the Lefeu, still had wounds from that time. The Kaijin. Or half-human, half-Lefeu. They have a few traits of humanity, but have monstrous traits too, such as the red flesh in their bodies, and the deformaties in they're appearance. Moldraith is a Kaijin, and because of the monstrous appearance he was hunted down whatever he go. Until he invaded a ship and ship fall in the land of Galrasia, a continent with a deep connection with nature. Despite his monstrous appearance, he was adopt by a tribe of Voracis (basically, half-lion half-humanoid people. Years passed, and his tribe was almost attack to another evil tribe. And to save his people, he heard a call. The call of the goddess of nature, Allihanna, and summon a pack of wild animals. This became his call. He then years later, make it vows, and became one of the shamans of his tribe (even Allihanna had its doubts, since he was part a Lefeu, but even she could see a human spark within him). Then, he sees a vision. A vision with a city be consume by the Tormenta. A vision from Allihanna. He answer the call, and with his tribe help, he go to the continent, with his destiny set. He also craft a wood mask with a lion picture, both as disguise to avoid be see, and to pay tribute to his tribe. Now alone in the continent, he try to prevent the Tormenta in consume the world, and fight the Lefeus. Despite be a Lefeu himself.

Along with his knowledge in healing magic, he also a healer and a alquemist, due to his training in drug making thanks to his "Lion Mother", a Voraci who became his mother figure.

And that's it. He is the complete opposite of Bamboo, my other character. While Bamboo was "cute but monstrous character" Moldraith is the archetype of the "Kind Monster" a character with monstrous appearance and origin, but deep down he is gentle and kind. He also have the classic ability to turn into animal forms, but due to him be a Aberrant creature, his animal forms are more monstrous and bizarre. Better not angry this guy, unless you want to face a REAL monster!

The images you embedded are broken unfortunately, they don't show for some reason. The internet gremlins probably ate them. (._. )

But either way, what an eventful life Moldraith indeed had, oh boi! I like that, even if for my taste it feels a bit cluttered with meaningful event after meaningful events, but that does not have to be a bad thing. I do like how there's contrast between monstrous appearance + origin (half-Lefeu!) and an actually kind heart plus helpful nature (fighting Lefeu and being a healer), a classic trope. It also lowkey reminds me on Bernhard in this campaign here, that stoic and self-composed softie.

From what you're describing here, Tormenta 20 sounds like a setting right up my taste, I immediately had to think of Call of Cthulhu (my fave system) when you mentioned that looming edritch horror that is a Tormenta. Might check that system and its rules out then, many thanks for the hint!


Windos is quite busy with pharm college as well as his job and frankly did/does not feel like writing due to it, so expect some delay on your question (same for progress here). Damn you, real life!

Fix it! Check the image now mate.
