Character Creation Part 2: The Tale of Adverus and the Protector
The Tribe of Adverus, led by the High Chieftain, came from the Tribal lands of Central Mistral near the great lake that was home to many tribes of Man that inhabited the world in its bounty.
The Days of the Great Lake were long, bountiful and filled with life and light, but we knew that our time in in that place was short for a great deal of reasons.
First you treated the Beastmen, these faunus as one of your own,and that was the first of many thing you did to make enemies.
They were people and had feelings and could support the tribe.
It was the first kindness, repaid with death and suffering.
Like all things it was first a boon that slowly went wrong.
-----------------------------------
-[X]The Light of the Stars: The Starlight of the Heavens has always been your guide above, sometimes when the tribe sleeps they hear laughter and whispers of a better age, and a possibility of what could be. (Start with 2 Sage/Piety AP as you get some help from friendly ghosts that want to help you for a time)
When the voices first came, your sages called you mad, and the tribe attempted to ignore them and live their lives as best they could.
The world is a dark place and many considered it a curse upon us all.
But with the Wisdom of your sages, you learned to listen to them and find solace in their presence as you dream of good food and a hopeful tomorrow.
They taught you of a time when the gods walked alongside man, and when they spoke you listened.
And found peace in their words.
-[X]Children of the Broken Moon: When the Tribe was born it survived a great storm of stars in the valley of its creation, the star metal made the first weapons in Man's arsenal, you used them to fight the Grimm in the Battle of the Orange Meadows when Man finally told the Grimm that Extinction was no longer going to just happen in this day, they will fight long and forever against it. (You start with Iron weapons and the ability to make iron weapons from meteors and other exotic space metals. And yes, you use iron when some people still use copper and stones)
You followed a falling star a long time ago, and took the stones to a forge.
It was stronger then the Copper or stone tools.
Iron the voices said...it was a great boon to have.
-[X]The Child God's Wayfinder: It had come to your Sage's in a Dream, a Baby of an idea, a representation of possibility, they knew not what to make of it. But to follow the crys and prey to the little being inside of their mind that wants to awaken (You got a little spirit looking out for you, and it needs love and prayers to stay alive.)
In the First Days of your Exile...it came to you in a dream as you followed the setting sun.
It did not have a name, a body, all it was is the idea of what it could be.
You would name it...give it love and respect it, it was not only your protector it was your child and you would protect it from all darkness as it protects you.
No matter the cost..
-[X]Lord of Hope: You had been blessed with a great many things, a taller and stronger body, greater senses and feelings along with a dream of something resembling a stronger lifeforce, a longer lifespan perhaps, the oldest among the tribe is Forty? (Your tribe has an extended lifespan, are taller and stronger then average thanks to ...an incident in the ages past. This has made many enemies)
A long time ago...in a land far away, the founders of the Tribe had protected and nurtured a spirit without a name, a being of light and healing who had seen the light of good within your kind and gifted you life and strength to survive this world.
It is not said who this being was...but you will not forget the gift they gave to you.
But as time passed, the other tribes spread rumors and falsehoods against you claiming that you made a deal with something evil and dark.
Grimm Born, and Children of Demons they said...fearful of all the advantages you had.
Wanting in greed of your power...and your strength.
-[X]The Silverlights of the Starry Heavens: A Set of Silver Eyes grace your visage, a gift of unknown origin that has seen your tribe through the darkest of nights and Darkest of battles. It has been one of the finest gifts you have been given, and yet like things it comes with a price. (Silver Eyes, your tribe have a bunch of people with silver eyes and other people want them)
Silver Eyes, the eyes of Starlight, the Grimmsbane, these are names of the Warriors that wield their power to drive the grimm into stone.
But by becoming a predator of the very monsters that rule this world, you have invited Ruination upon you.
Enemies wish for your power , and you deny them that. You will always deny them.
-[X]The First Kinslayers: You've stained the Land and Slain your own Kin. This has stained your tribe forever, none will speak to you and may wish your tibe dead, all of them do, for a crime such as that cannot be forgiven. (You killed your kin, and now alot of people want to kill you horribly for it. Negotiating with people is a bit awkward if not dangerous.)
Clan Fall of the Northern Shores were evil, and well they stole your shit. Well not exactly but you really hated their attitude and the constant attempt to take your children to breed with them.
By logic of a union a decade ago, they were kin.
But fuck them they took your children away and took your daughters and sons as whores to breed a grand army.
You could not allow that to pass into reality.
So your father, the last High Chief, took action that sealed his fate and that of his tribe.
He murdered them, their leaders, warriors and their sages at a wedding he put on with their leaders to murder them and prevent this great crime and theft from continuing.
Not enough to say delete them from History, but enough to get the attention of everyone else and all the negative things that come with it.
-[X]Cursed By Darkness and the Light: Your tribe once met two brothers and spurned them for rude and obstructive behavior, a sense of arrogance they possessed drove your tribe to cast them out. That was the final mistake your predecessor ever did as he was completely obliterated by the concept of Entropy and Life energy making him long for death so badly that he jumped into a volcano...you think he's finally dead.But the point stood that you antagonized something very powerful and they are out to get you. You think for amusement of some amount of slighted pride for not respecting the authority of guest rights, the host is the master of the hall not the guest. (You antagonized the Gods when they came to check on things and they want you to suffer for a thousand moons (At least 20 years), for a frankly petty reason, your sages even pointed out he was in the right and they didn't care, because you made them look bad...something about authority being challenged.)
But that was the first of several decisions that your predecessor made in the last ten or so years that put you on the path to were you are now.
It was in fact the start of the long decline of your time in your homeland. You antagonized two gods.
YOU WERE IN THE RIGHT DAMN IT!! Those prideful bastards demanded more than your tribe could safely give, it was before winter, they wanted to eat the winter stores.
Father called them greedy and arrogant for wanting more than a man can safely give when a people is on the line in the winter months.
They demanded more and more. So he casted them out into the autumn night.
The Divine Wrath vested upon the tribe in the night was the forebearer of much of the tragedy that would long suffer with the tribe.
They wanted to destroy you...to ruin your people for denying them out of simple sense.
If these were the gods that made this world, they don't deserve to be gods at all.
You would deny them the pleasure of your people's death. That would be a certainty.
-[X]Greed of the Undivided Sun: You made terrible mistakes, coveting another man's possessions, several times...it got to the point where the tribe was not welcome to the great gathering on fear of stealing everything not tied down,now that's ridiculous, we only steal from people we don't like. (Your tribe are known as bandits, thieves and brigands to even the most spread out of places, some details were messed up and they think your greedy grimm, or something dumb like that.)
What treasure did your people steal? A grand set of jewels, a crown of gold and silver, the daughter of a Chief.
The Treasure was the Children that were taken from you.
In the Time before your great flight from the Tribes of Faunus and Man, your children were taken by hundreds of tribes, more of your children were taken as objects to be fought over to breed for their abilities and lifespan, as if to prove who's tribe was the strongest with more of the children they had.
You took them all back...all the unnumbered hundreds of them from every tribe and clan on the continent.
Grimm take them, it was glorious, but such a theft would leave a dark stain upon the reputation of your people for a time.
It was a reclamation. But they would see it as a stealing of something that was rightfully theirs.
You cannot understand, they did not birth, raise and love them, they saw only the power they could gain from the Seed and womb.
They were disgusting...and drove you to act.
-[X]The Kinstrife of the First Sunrise: Your tribe has suffered a bit of bad luck as of late...and by bad luck you mean nearly annihilated by about 2 other greater tribes that wanted your land, food, children and daughters, you father objected to that...and much of your tribe went to make peace after winning a battle. That was the worse mistake they ever made as Three quarters of your tribe was murdered under a symbol of peace, and you were forced to flee with what remained of the tribe...never go to a peace deal without wearing armor. (You lost 3/4s of your population to a betrayal under a peace banner, and you have to deal with that mess now.)
And yet your Father still wanted peace.
He went to them under the banner of peace and demanded the taking of his children stop forever,he thought his army and sages and the laws of Guest Rights would protect them as his demands stated.
The tribes did come, ate his bread and salt, swore to do now harm against him.
And then they attacked and murdered nearly everyone .
It was not unbecoming of them after what you did to clan Fall, but it was still a bit harsh.
But even the women? Cold and Dark.
-[X]The Evertide of Darkness: The Grimm really want to kill you, its like they love the taste of your blood and bones...this is awful...GO KILL SOMEONE ELSE YOU SOULLESS BASTARDS!! (The Grimm want to kill your tribe specifically, like they want you dead before something happens.)
The Dark cloud over your tribe is a sign of endured misery.
Endured Misery brings resilience...but it also brings the Grimm, they hunt relentlessly for such a trait.
They seek you out to destroy your guarded heart.
They will not find this task easy.
-[X]The Nest of the Dark Lands, a Fertile Region between two vastly different places on the same continent, it was still, as if something terrifying existed just beyond the mountains. (The Dark Continent)
When you came to this green place you were tired, exhausted for crossing the sea in boats meant for a lake.
It destroyed them and you lost much in the ways of your supplies to rebuild, it was a harsh punishment.
But you would endure...as you always did.
----------------------------------------------------------
Yet you did not come into this hell alone. You carried your doom with you...but you carried something with you.
