The Ubagi Tribes of the North Mountains in the Nation of Xin are cold, harsh, and filled with the 'barbaric' warriors and 'debauched' shamans. Dressed in furs once belonging to other tribesmen and the leathers of the feathered beasts, these warring tribes honor their Gods. Among those gods is Benkai.
To the Ubagi, he is The Great Monk; the god of motion and power. Where strength not always manifests in muscles or metal, but in motion and speed. Taught briefly to worship Benkai with fluid motion, you were sold into slavery by traitors of your clan, but you escaped and now found refuge in strange lands beyond the cursed seas, you will hone your craft further and further, not only to root your self in your worship, but also in your prowess to survive. No matter how dire the situation, you will fight or flee with bombast and class very few will achieve.
- Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Survival
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of musical instrument
- Languages: One of your choice
- Equipment: A crudely carved staff, a half-dull knife, furred clothing, 8 gold in a small pouch, and a tribe talisman.
