Kya Brook
Kya Brook (she/her) is a charater played by Jules (they/them) in Ana ote Makutu. She is a duergar, level 4 swashbuckler rogue/level 8 hunter ranger, with the urban bounty hunter background.
Description
Kya stands at the respectable and resourceful height of 3'11". Her purpled gray skin is marked with stark white tattoos that compliment her brilliant white mohawk. Her sleek, black, leather trappings provide a protective base underneath her magic cloak of brilliant forest green underneath which always hides her two whirlwind rapiers. Kya's sardonic tendencies, scowling demeanor, and propensity to pounce on her prey like a sabretooth cat make her a unique member of any expedition. Her martial and survival skills combined with years of solitude and ostracization have made her independent to a fault, but not unkind. She wishes harm on no living being aside from those whom she is paid to harm. Girl's gotta make a living. As a bounty hunter, Kya earned the moniker 'Colossus' after gaining a reputation for quickly dispatching foes many times her size.Backstory
Kya is a Brook. If you’re still reading, you’re clearly not a dwarf. Or at least not one from the holds. The Brook name is haunted within the bounds of Maa Ola and has been for centuries ever since Kya’s ancestors left the their community to seek fortune and prosperity in the wilds of Kauvet. If only they had stayed outside. Being shunned is a lot easier to ignore when there are walls between you, and that’s what the citizens of Opeopea did to the Brooks when they departed. Some Brooks found adventure, wealth, and acclaim in the wilds. Some, like Kya’s family, regretted the decision to leave and returned to the hold, but the damage was already done. The Brooks had abandoned their people and even if every last one had returned, their reputation would forever be stained. Forced to the fringes of society within Maa Ola, friendless and factionless, with no way to provide for herself, Kya became intimately familiar with the wilderness, it’s tricks and treats, and the many dangers that called it home. Eventually, her already tainted reputation as a Brook was heightened in intimidation by stories of her renegade nature and dangerous exploits. Now, Kya is one of the most feared bounty hunters the hold as ever known. Her days of petty jobs and scrounging for food are behind her; only the most dangerous and high stakes operations are presented to her now. She goes in when intel is scarce and odds are unfavorable. Maybe at one time people thought of her as expendable. Now they think her indispensable. At least she hopes so. Thus she is sent on another mysterious and likely dangerous errand by and for the people who, despite her efforts and renown, regard her as dirt.Trivia
- - Kya possessed the following magic items in this one-shot: Nature's Mantle, Rapier of Warning, Folding Boat
- Jules has made a heroforge of Kya, seen here.
- "The Brooks travels helped the family develop many tricks and tools to assist them as they roamed the wilds. These skills helped Kya in her journeys as she earned her reputation as a bounty hunter. Her folding boat was enchanted by one of the first Brooks and is a legacy of the family she still carries." - Will, LordOfRavens
- As a boon for successfully completing their mission, Kya was elevated to nobility, restoring the Brook name to its long-lost status, at least within the confines of the hold.
