Monsters by Aspiring Protagonist

  • Julian Solitary, Intelligent
    Hand-made bow (b[2d10] damage 2 piercing) 12 HP 1 armor
    Close, Far

    Julian is an expert marksman currently in the service of the Donnels of Lowry Grove. He was an excellent hunter set to marry his fiance, Tifa, five years ago when the Dark Lord's men arrived. Shortly after that, the Donnels sent a small force which kidnapped Tifa. Without his bow, Julian was beat into submission and brought before Barnaby Donnel. If he ever wanted to see his fiance again, he would wait for two humans, an orc, and a salamander to come from the Bronze Tower and assassinate them. Instinct: To never feel helpless again

    Draining hands (d6+2 damage) 14 HP 1 armor
    Close, Forceful, Ignores Armor

    These shadows creep in the darkness and take form when they seek to drain the life from any living things they find. They become a mass of arms that work together to move the body, attack, and hold up the plain white mask that serves as their face. Instinct: To kill aimlessly

    • Drain life from the living
    • Shadows can shapeshift to form walls of shadow that close in on prey. Passing through these intangible walls allows them to automatically deal their damage.

    Some of those who have existed in the shadow world for too long find themselves all alone, their friends all carried to the other side. But they were never taken. Left to wander by themselves, their souls become twisted by their loneliness into creatures that walk on all four of their skewer-limbs. When they see another creature they fire a harpoon on a gooey black tether to pull it closer to them, leaving it in agonizing pain until it can escape. Instinct: to feel love
