Day 1825 of my exile... or was it 1826? Screw it, nobody but me will listen to these recordings anyway. I passed through that village last night. They left. Not sure if the beasts got them or not. There were no signs of struggle. I'll find it out sooner or later, but until then, it's me, myself, and I once again. Today is a full moon, so the puppies will be ravenous. I think I heard a helicopter dropping something nearby. Probably another exiled. Might as well check.

Name: The Gunpowder Witch Real Name: Rouge Peralt Age: 30 years old Gender: Female

[Description: Former lead scientist that was trying to repair the damage done by a war caused by the detonation of several magical nukes. She found out only magic could undo the fallout, but when she tried to employ magic in her research, her crew rated her out, and she was exiled to the Savage Lands. There, she was bitten by a werebeast, but through sheer force of will, she did not succumb to the curse. Now, living away from civilization, she decided that she would slay every last beast using her guns, earning the name "The Gunpower Witch".]

[Appearance: Rogue is 170 cm tall, with long, blond, and messy hair. Her eyes are red and she has sharp canines, like a wolf's, a consequence of the curse. Due to surviving on her own for so long, she developed a muscular, fit, and scarred body. She wears a tube top, a coat she fashioned out of werewolf's pelt, a long, red scarf, torn shorts and leggings, and military boots.]

[Abilities: Since she didn't succumb to the curse, she gained the powers of a werewolf and none of their weaknesses. She's extremely fast, agile, and resilient; she can fight pretty much any werebeast and even small groups with little to no issue. Her magic consists of creating firearms and bullets; despite being very proficient at this, she can only really make low-caliber guns, but the magical silver bullets, not needing to reload, and her aim more than compensate for that. As a former scientist, she's quite smart, but at her condition and after being, there's little room for her to let this more genius side of her shine.]

[Personality: The years in the Savage Lands have made her cocky, stylish, confident, dominant, and merciless. Despite her hardened survivor traits, she remains hopeful that humanity will one day reclaim these desolated lands. She's helpful and is always on the lookout for survivors in the Savage Lands but won't hesitate to put a bullet in them if they turn into savage werebeast.]

[Likes: Smoking helps her relive the stress, but it's rare to find good-quality cigarettes in this post-apocalyptical scenario. She's a guns enthusiast, knowing everything about them and enjoying talking about them. She came to see magic as a wonder of the world and likes it very much. As a pastime activity, she began learning crochet, and nowadays, she loves it, often using the pelt and fur from werebeasts to make accessories for her or other small survivor communities.]

[Dislikes: It truly breaks her heart to see the planet in such a state. She deeply detests the ones responsible for the war, but since they are all long gone at this point, her frustration is aimed towards those who ratted her out.]

[Backstory: Rogue was a child born after the war that ended the world once known to humanity. Studying about how the world used to be and seeing only a barren, endless wasteland in the distance from behind the tall walls of the city she lives in made her think if she couldn't do anything about it.

She then would devote her life to researching a way to revert the damage done by the wrongful exploration of magic, and she became an accomplished scientist, creating many new ways for the common people to adapt to these rough ages, but technology and science could only carry her so far. If she wanted to truly restore the glory of the world, she would have to go beyond that, and so, behind her team's back, she began studying magic.

Since she's a genius, figuring out magic wasn't difficult. She was interested in creating non-organic and, possibly, developing some sort of weapon that would help smaller cities fend off the threat of the werebeasts, but before she could reach any conclusion, her team found out she was practicing and studying magic, which resulted in her being exiled to the Savage Lands, the wasteland outside her walls where the accursed by magic roam forever, away from civilization.

It didn't take long until one werebeast bit Rogue. If you are bitten, you will turn; this is a well-known fact, however. Through sheer force of will, she managed to resist the effects, gaining all the blessings of a werebeast and none of their weakness. Since she was banished from all cities, she now survives in this barren land, killing off the werebeasts by using her magic to create guns, and now, everyone knows her by the name: "Gunpowder Witch".]
