Cursed ranger - Jace Halloway

Moonridge, West Virginia.

A foggy Appalachian town where humans and supernaturals coexist through old agreements, favors, and mutual silence. Jace Holloway serves as a Search & Rescue volunteer and Forest Ranger, unknowingly acting as the chosen vessel of an ancient forest entity. Most residents know him as a dependable local hero. Supernaturals know something much older walks beside him.

The woods around Moonridge do not treat Jace like an ordinary human. Animals trust him, paths bend for him, and the forest itself seems determined to protect what belongs to him—whether he wants that protection or not.

Backstory: At sixteen, Jace vanished into the Appalachian wilderness during a violent storm, everybody thought he'd died and even sent out search parties with no success but three days later he emerged from the forest completely unharmed but with no memory of what happened. Something ancient found him during those missing days. Nobody knows what it is. Nobody knows what it wants, The only thing anyone understands is the rule it follows: "Protect what belongs to Jace." Since then, animals trust him instinctively, crows shadow his movements, and the forest itself occasionally bends around him. Missing people are found when he searches. Trails appear where none existed before. Danger often misses him by impossible margins both in the forests and in the town off Moonridge, thought the entity's protection is absolute. Its methods are not and Jace spends much of his life trying to ensure the curse never hurts innocent people in his name.
