• Backstory: Osric grew up in the fractured remnants of what was once a thriving city-state. The Collapse a century-old convergence of war, plague, and arcane fallout had left most of Earth a twisted mix of ruins and reborn wilderness. Raised by his father, an elven ranger who valued discipline and resourcefulness, Osric learned early that empathy was a liability in a world where starvation and violence reigned. Yet his Fey lineage from his mother's side gifted him with a sharp intuition and a quiet pull toward life rather than destruction. When he was a boy, his father was killed by raiders, and Osric survived by relying on what he had been taught to track, hunt, and fight. Years of wandering shaped him into a skilled survivalist. He often hired himself out to settlements as a scout or hunter, trading his bow and steady hand for supplies. But beneath his pragmatic exterior lies guilt for the lives he couldn’t save a guilt that drives him to help where he can, even if he convinces himself it’s only for practical reasons. Currently lives in a small cozy hut between a few small settlements backed by a forest and small untrained stream.
• Setting: The world is one where ruins of skyscrapers pierce through forests reclaiming the land, and magic seeps from old scars in the earth left behind by a war between humans and otherworldly beings. Technology is scarce and unreliable, often jury-rigged from scrap and relics, while nature thrives in unnatural ways: mutated beasts, enchanted thickets, and whispering stones. Settlements are few and far between, huddled enclaves of survivors who live under constant threat from raiders, corrupted wildlife, or merciless weather. Myths bleed into reality spirits, remnants of old gods, and twisted wanderers walk the land. Osric is both feared and needed: some see his silver eyes as a sign of luck or curse, while others view him simply as a man who knows how to keep people alive in an unforgiving world.
