Liz wakes up in a fantasy world a boss monster. Hopefully she can live long enough to make it past level 1.
Level 1 (1)
I scream flinching as I wake up expecting the pain from being hit by the truck to slam into me like... well a truck. I shift around my body I'm not in any pain but it feels weird, what on earth is going on? I try to open my eye but at first, nothing then when I do see something it is not like looking at it... rather it is more like I was just understanding it.

I see...

That... race? Shouldn't it be human, and the name was Liz, not Tier One Boss whatever. System! I demand my name be changed. I wait and nothing happens so I open my eyes normally avoiding paying attention to the state of my now inhuman body definitely not the same hell. I look around myself for being a boss I sure am lacking something though my body thrums with a hidden power though that might just be the whole mana thing. If I wasn't you know not a person anymore the whole magic thing would definitely be the highlight of my day. Looking around I can see a light in the distance some kind of tower on the shoreline in the foggy horizon, a lighthouse maybe. There are several dried-looking fields around me and rundown houses close by so we definitely have people here. There is a forest in the other direction away from people which might be good with the whole boss monster thing don't want to end up against a tutorial protagonist. I could of course try the open ocean... which is a thought. Well, I do have to decide.

Normally, I do Ocean, because ocean nonsense is great and cool, but lighthouse is an acceptable alternative, and leaves us open for interactions with the sea, people, ships, bizarre creatures, and might give us the option to shut down the lighthouse, which would probably be very nice for levels, since otherwise stuff'll crash into our shores.

As for why elemental? Because elemental's are epic!

Wait, can we splice races, or just pick the one? Is we can splice, then there's some really cool stuff we can do.

Interesting potentials with these.. Especially paired with a lighthouse setting. A flame-light elemental could work too, thematically as the lantern of the lighthouse. But I like the Crow that perches at the top. Or the ooze or spider that haunts you along the stairs.

The choice between being a cat a cat or having wings is hard.

[X][Location]Abandoned Farms
 
[x][Race]Crow

Guaranteed 5% extra damage on someone is pretty damn good on its own, even though we can only use it 4 times ATM.

Damage reduction is always good as well, the crow has some pretty stacked abilities that will always be useful.

[X][Location]Forest

Forest is likely the best place for any animal, helps with breaking line of sight and hiding away to find other routes to harass enemies

It is my duty to vote for my brethren. Also, we already have another Quest with God, Farms, and Crows. Let's make something a bit different.
