Character Name: Twilight

Character Source: OC

Starting Location: Mesa Roja

Character Behavior:

Sardonic Opportunist

I mean, I guess I can be kind of a pessimist…but it's hard not to be when you know the weight that sits on your shoulders. Being a Storyteller AND a Sheriff aint no damn picnic, and having your maker always around chirping in your ear like a frigging Mesa songbird can make anyone take off their rose-colored glasses and see the world for the grim reality it is. I ain't a scholarly type, but I can see more than most that our Panthrax way of life could easily die out. Unfortunately, it's also my job to make sure we don't get erased completely. You'd think given all that I could at least get some appreciation for a job well done but, who would the old ladies in the village yell at then?

Opportunist? Pfft, I mean your words not mine…if I see an opening I'll take it, sure, if I don't, I'll make one, why not? Guns, knives, claws, even a big rock can be a weapon, man. I'd prefer a moniker like ‘jack-of-all-trades’ or ‘versatile’...but I gotta admit, I really do love taking every opportunity I get in this world to see the job done, ESPECIALLY against the furless humans that seem to be a never-ending wave covering the whole of this here red disk we call home. Yeah, alright, alright, I'll concede on this one, ‘opportunist’. I can get behind that.

Physical Description:

Who's asking? Hmmm, well, not that I NEED to explain myself, but I'm a 6'4 (193cm) ‘big cat’ humanoid, more akin to a panther on two legs. I got me some jet black fur that I keep pretty clean out here in the dunes and rock, I ain't some cub who can't be bothered to scrub behind his ears. I am indeed of the Panthrax species, yes…but if you actually know the name of us, well, you'll probably be taking that to your grave. Sorry, not sorry if I'm the one who does you in, but keeping my people and our history safe is what I do, and some furless punk like you ain't gonna get in the way of that. Cat Lord knows you'd just try and find a way to exploit us anyway…

Nature's knives, man. Never corner this cat…unless you're made of water or steel cause yeah, they don't work on those things real well. Why the heck would I be scratching steel or water anyway?

Hackles
Protection Rank 3 (300E)
-Triggered (+150E)

Storyteller Armor ain’t just for keeping the sand out, it also does pretty decently against the stray bullet or knife. When I feel threatened a gem inside activates and BAM! Makes the normal looking strips of cloth hard for a time. Taking damage depletes the gem and it must be replaced.

Master Skills:

[Gifted Affinity Skill Groups]

“The Sheriff”
- Survival (Navigation) Rank 3 (150E)
- Survival (Tracking) Rank 3
- Survival (Camping) Rank 3
- Knowledge (Weapons) Rank 3
- Research/Investigation Rank 3

I've been everywhere, man. I know, mostly, where to go around here, and more importantly, where you shouldn’t. Sheriff is just a way to call me an unpaid bounty-hunter for tracking down wayward Panthrax, and knowing how to get them out of a tight spot wherever they might be. I'll be damned if I'll get got while trying to bring em’ home, though and I always make sure to know the score before I come to collect.

“The Storyteller”
- Social (Persuasion) Rank 3 (150E)
- Subterfuge
- Humanities (Mesa Roja History)
- Humanities (Mesa Roja Archeology)
- Humanities (Anthropology of Mesa Roja)

It helps getting information when you know the people you're talking to, and cultivating contacts all around is all part of the job…both jobs, actually. It also helps to understand the wide array of customs in the…stranger parts around here. If it happened on Mesa Roja, I have a pretty good idea about. Keeping our oral history is what being a Storyteller is all about...well, some of it anyway. Kingdoms have come and gone, and the Panthrax have weathered it all. Knowing our history is a big part of protecting our future. Also I do enjoy ‘detering’ would be tomb-raiders, because some things are best left buried.
