Physical Description:
A young woman of fifteen or sixteen summers, clad in the characteristic Red Hood of her legend. She is short, perhaps five foot at the most, clad in hard-wearing clothing designed to endure against the trials and tribulations of long term travel.
Character History:
The legend of the Red Hood has been passed from generation to generation for as long as anyone can remember. She, and it is inevitably a she, is a traveller; a messenger who moves from settlement to settlement, keeping the world informed of the great changes which regularly sweep across it. She is a warrior, a slayer of beasts and monsters who will not allow predatory threats to prey upon the innocent and weak. She is a hero, and the legend echoes down the ages.
She is also cursed.
The Red Hood is not a mantle that one takes up willingly. When the previous holder of the title dies, and they die regularly, the mantle disappears to leave the (usually bloody) corpse behind. Somewhere in Erde Nona, another girl awakens, swaddled in the Mantle of the Red Hood. From that moment on, their fate is sealed. They walk the lonely path, driven by the compulsion to walk the world, deliver the messages, slay the monsters, and inevitably, die. Their name is gone. From that moment on, they are only Red Hood, and as far as the world is concerned, they are a hero. The truth of the relationship between Hood and Wearer is not known, and rarely spoken of.
The Red Hood passes on certain advantages to its wearer. Along with the constant control, jibing and demands of the Mantle, the souls of the previous holders of the title are trapped inside it, and offer their wisdom and experience to the new cursed soul. There are few beasts and threats which the Red Hood has not encountered in some form over the long, long years. It also augments the physical capabilities of the wearer to superhuman levels. These facets grow the longer that the wearer can survive her bond with the Mantle, and the Mantle itself gives up its secrets to one who has proven deserving of them.
Indeed, at the beginning, the wearer of the Mantle cannot truly commune with the previous wearers and experiences their advice only in brief snippets and flashes or bizarre dreams. Over time, the relationship can become more intentional, with the wearer learning to willingly communicate with the previous holders of the title… if she can survive long enough to unlock such a relationship.
The current holder of the Hood is a young girl named Alice. She has only just begun her journey, and has left her home to take the long, winding road to Arcadia – for what purpose, she cannot say. Her dreams are haunted by the memories of the last holder – Belle – and the hideous, wolf-like monster that tore her limb from limb.
Abilities/Skills:
Huntswoman's Axe
Effect - Damage 5 (500 Essence)
Modifiers: None
Total Cost: 500 Essence
Description: A two-handed axe of brutal provenance. Red Hood's axe is coupled with the startling strength granted to her by the Red Hood mantle, which allows her to cleave through trees in a single stroke and most monsters with little more effort. Even more surprisingly to those who would seek to disarm the Red Hood, she can summon her weapon back to her hand with a simple effort of will.
Red Blur
Effect - Agility 3 (600 Essence)
Modifiers: None
Total Cost: 600 Essence
Description: The first and most important augmentation that the Red Hood takes on is always a great increase to agility and reaction time. During combat, the Red Hood experiences a surge of adrenaline which will stay throughout their system and make time seem to slow down as they go about their bloody work.
The Traveler's Mantle
Effect - Endurance 1 (100 Essence)
Modifiers: None
Total Cost: 100
Description: The Mantle keeps its wearer in good shape; enabling them to carry on far longer than their physiques would ordinarily allow.
Master Skills
Survival (Hunting) (300 Essence) - The Red Hood imparts knowledge of monster trails, tracking and wilderness pursuit to its wearer which border on the supernatural. The combined knowledge of hundreds of previous wearers of the Mantle are there for the Red Hood to call upon in times of duress and confusion, usually appearing as flashes of instinct or knowledge that she had no way of knowing until it was necessary. This knowledge also allows the Red Hood to scavenge more from their travails than most others.
Perk: Increased Loot Drops.
