Slaves captured by a powerful being long ago, warminds were put under an eternal sleeping trance state that would freeze their bodies for several centuries while their mind was subjugated to the will of their captor. Their minds were put under a kind of simulation called simulacrums that forced warminds to fight legions upon legions of enemies through hundreds of different conditions, all to research the art of war and combat. Every time they died, they would simply be revived, forced to fight again and again. Many went mad under the strain, but some of these warminds escaped, losing much of their memories but still retaining some of their experiences in the years of endless battle.

The warminds, free from their imprisonment, now have to search for a new purpose in the real, unforgiving world where death is permanent and enemies are no less deadlier than those that were faced within the simulacrum. Some run from their past, trying forget what they had done. Some revel in it, using their experiences to grow more powerful. Still others simply close this troubled chapter of their lives, forging a new life of their own. But all know - that their captors will not sit idly by as their prized possessions run amok...

Suggested Characteristics

You have experienced death and battle far longer than most of the creatures living now. The endless cycles of fighting, dying and reviving to fight again have given you a perspective of death and battle like no other. From it, you may draw strength to serve others, a lust to gain power, or even lose the will to forge on.
