Hunter Image

You have chased after something for your whole life. Some have called you obsessed, others have looked down on your dedication as foolish. But you know the truth of why you must hunt this down, and that is all you need to keep you going. Your existence has been that of a traveller, never settling in any place for very long as your yearning pulls you onward. Only accomplishing this goal can bring you peace, and your bones will not rest till your desires are satisfied.

The Hunted

This someone or something has been at the heart of every thought for years, appearing in every dream to tease and taunt you, flickering in the corner of your vision and twisting the words you hear. Everything seems to revolve around this one thing, even if, in reality, it doesn't - or shouldn't.

d10 The Hunted
1 I am hunting down my age-old nemessis, they stole something from me that I need back.
2 I am hunting down a terrible creature which wrecked destruction in my town.
3 I am following the ideal my ancestors have enforced in me.
4 I am chasing the shadow which has haunted me from childhood.
5 I am chasing after a friend/lover who left without a word.
6 I am following the destiny which has been dictated for me, fated by the gods and the stars.
7 I am chasing after information on the infamous killer which plagued our town.
8 I am searching for a new leader for our town.
9 I am searching for a cure to a horrid curse.

Feature: Obsessive tracker

Having spent years hunting down your heart's desire, be it physical or ideological, you have learnt how to find what your looking for in any town. You can pick up a trail faster than trained trackers and always seems to find the cheapest inn. Unless it is hidden by magic, you will be able to follow and recognise a track whenever you find one, and learn one thing about them.

 
Suggested Characteristics

Most hunters have lived largely isolated lives, for better or for worse, and know little beyond what has been necessary to learn on your quest. Hunters rarely have a somewhere to call home, but their seperation from everyday life can make them extremely loyal to those friends they acquire, some even to the point of abandoning their quest, although the yearning rarely leaves.
