Zennik BACKSTORY

Born in Lemien, a scrappy, daring child, one of six, and of a poor enough family that her parents could not afford to house her without her contributing, once she passed the age of majority in Lemier and could no longer benefit from the various communal services afforded children in the Coalition. Zennik took the first job that came to mind: adventuring. At fifteen, she took to it like a fish to water. Fearless, dauntless, and with boundless passion for excitement and risk-taking, she quickly became a valued part of an adventuring party, the Daughters of Blades - an all martial party, with no mages. She was the party's rogue, helping find and disarm traps, and only fighting from a distance with throwing daggers. She always liked knives. When the party was wiped out by animated armor in a ruin on the very edge of the Frontier, near the forests of the Coalition - the party's weapons of limited use against them - Zennik was the only one to escape. She hid in the ruins until another of the magical defenses, a wandering cloud of enchanted daggers, found her on the floor, crying over her lost friends, cleaning her knives... and instead of killing her... they offered themselves to her, one by one, for cleaning - something they clearly needed. She maintained all thirty something of the knives, quivering in fear for her life the whole time, but they simply lingered around her. So she decided to try and escape, and when she did, and when the armor attacked her again? The blades fought for her. She got some degree of notoriety when she returned to the southern Elven city she and her friends had taken the job from. Not only was she the only survivor, but she was now the owner of a cloud of sentient daggers. She earned the title Maiden of Blades, after completing the job and delivering all the objects the quest giver had asked for, and set off for the Frontier resolved to avoid putting others at risk and making her name there as a solo-adventurer, but she can't help it if she gets lonely, and once in a while, she still works with others.

Zennik ABILITIES

Lockpicking skills, trap disarming and identifying skills, weapon care and maintenance, an empathic connection with a swarm of multiple enchanted daggers ensorceled into a typical 'flying dagger swarm' which, because it was made of already magic weapons, has developed emergent, hive intelligence. It acts based on her whims and feelings and is protective of her, so sometimes they inadvertently poke people who get close based on perceived discomfort when she is embarassed, even though she is receptive to the attention. They let her handle them manually and sometimes sheath them, but most like to float protectively around her at all times. She never, ever has less than ten floating daggers around her at any given time, and otherwise has them in bandoliers where her old throwing daggers used to rest. They have about thirty different elemental and other kinds of enchantments giving her a massive variety of offensive options in a fight, from flaming daggers to freezing daggers to daggers that blind, paralyze, put to sleep etc.

Zennik INVENTORY

SETTING

Genre: Steam Era + Fantasy

World Details: Most of the action takes place on the temperate continent of Nati, which has two superpowers and one small trade-alliance region, as well as an unclaimed, hot southern territory. In the North of Nati resting between three mountain ranges, the wide valley of the Trade Alliance is capitaled by the city of Meltmeet, where two glacial rivers meet. This city used to be the meeting spot of the three local tribes (Riverstrider, Crestwalker, Planestalker) before they assimilated and became city gangs. Industrious city states banded together to form the technology-focused Reven Federation who take up the Northeast of the continent. In the Northwest, Elves lead (but are not the only race in) the Coalition of Almit, who rely on more traditional lifestyles, and most of whom prefer magic over technology. Lemien is one of the regional capitals, is Zennik's hometown, and is traditionally elven, forest city. Swords and sorcery meet airships and guns in this setting. At the Southern end of this continent of Nati is the 'Frontier', deserts, mesas and savanna where small townships are all the civilisation there is and magic, technology and lawlessness meet in a big, risky, profitable mess. The action begins in Gearhollow, a junction of train lines in the Frontier that arrive from many cities in the Federation, and the two only rail-connected cities of the Coalition, around which grew a frontier town that became synonymous with meeting and finding the right kind of people for a job. Becasue of this the city is full of adventurer-bars, adventuring guilds, and job agencies hoping to connect each adventuring sort with a job that suits them, gets them paid, gets jobs done, and earns whoever brokers it their cut.

Characters in Gearhollow: Plag Rahmad (black furred feline cat humanoid with yellow eyes, train station information broker, always willing to trade info on the up and coming big jobs and threats for coin, rough, Frontier dialect, think cowboy), Phariel of Lemien (Elf male with silver and blue hair in a short cut, formal and archaic tongue. Questgiver from Zennik's home city, offers quests to do with ruins, investigating leftover magics, would be fascinated with Zennik's daggers if he met her since she found them in some ruins), Kris Reflex (brunette, brown eyed human female former adventurer and owner of The Long Rest adventurer bar. Incredibly observant former rogue, nobody ever steals from anyone in her bar because she catches them one hundred percent of the time, Federation born, but difficult to notice as her accent is neutral and difficult to place, she is an 'everywoman'), Brenda Scrapemoss (thick black haired, female dwarf adventurer, leader of a party who specialise in monster clearance, territorial, rough Coalition dwarf accent, think South London accent) ]
