You were an orphan raised in the Novaki school of monster hunters; with a focus on wielding colossal weapons, weaving rapid spells, endurance, stoicism, minimalism
You were sent out by the school with nothing but: an engraved Ultra greatsword, anger, and the urge to kill monsters.
- Skill Proficiencies: Animal Handling, Survival, athletics, intimidation
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools, vehicles (land)
- Equipment: A set of artisan’s tools (one of your choice), a shovel, an iron pot, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp
You woke up 10 years ago with no memory of what happened after you left your monster-hunting school.
Your greatsword hums when near dark magic and monsters have been simply following the humming of your greatsword, slaying monsters along the way and getting paid a decent bit of gold too.
Those that you have saved from monsters claim you can kill with just one stare, and looking for a woman
