Devil-spawn and Demon-taint: A Fiendish Take on Skull & Shackles
Game Master Mark Sweetman

The Water Yai, has lived and studied Cheliax for centuries, and caused much discord both to the Cheliax ruled by Aroden as well as the current infernal country. As such, it knows that while devils are commonplace in the land, their halfbreed offspring are generally despised as abominations, especially by the ruling families. Thus, the Water Yai chose to find an innocent young girl from the ruling Thrune family, then seduce her and leave her with child. As planned, the Water Yai seduced her and then took great pleasure in forcing himself upon her, even going so far as to reveal part of his true non-human nature. In doing so, the Water Yai basked in her pain. Then, he furthered his enjoyment by changing form to that of a servant and watched as the girl suffered hiding the nature of the monster who had impregnated her. Finally, he watched as the child was born and when it was seen that the child was a tiefling, the Water Yai got the greatest pleasure as the child was ripped from his mothers arms and send south to be raised as a slave while the mother broke down physically and emotionally.

I never though about what became of the mother, but we can decide that as necessary later on - perhaps she killed herself, or perhaps she still lives, a broken shell.

2. Who killed the old man, and why?
--> The old man was actually a former hunter and ranger for the Thrune family. However, on one expedition, he lead a group of nobles into the Barrowwood with the goal of hunting and killing a unicorn which was rumored to live in the woods. As he was paid to do, he tracked the creature, finally locating it next to a secluded lake. However, when he saw the celestial beast, he had a change of heart (sort of like the Grinch), and realized that he could not allow the unicorn to be killed. So, he sprung a trap and killed the hunters he had been leading. Knowing that he would now be hunted to the end of Gloarian for what he had done, he fled.

Eventually, he stowed away on a ship heading south and reached Sargava. While not Cheliax, the connection was still close, so he quickly gathered what he needed and moved into the jungle in the far south of the land. North of the river dividing Sargava and the Southern Mwangi. While he was a trained ranger, he quickly found that he loved nature in its purest form and began to practice more as a druid eventually becoming a protector of the land in which he dwelt.

Unfortunately the infernal memory of Cheliax is very long. While it was nearly 40 years from when he first fled Cheliax, the assassins hired by the House of Thrune eventually located him in the jungle and killed him. I did not specify who specifically it was, but they were hired by Thrune as payback for his killing members of the noble family.

3. How would you feel being devoid of your animal companion for some time? - you'd eventually meet back up, but not until well into the 1st segment of the AP.
--> I figured that the albatross would know where I was and would follow the ship. After all, Albatross are considered to be good fortune by seafarers. The great bird would continue to track the boat as long as I was on it, perhaps at times landing on the mainsail or a railing. If anyone were foolish enough to attack him, he would then fly high above their attacks and come down to the ocean to feed as necessary.

Obisyth would be greatly saddened not having her companion, but it would not destroy her. She would know that her companion was about and I am sure that if and when she was allowed to see outside - through the paddle openings for instance - she would be able to see him at times.

Traits:
Big Boned (Tiefling) - I may be small, but I am tough.
Suspicious - this is how you are when raised as a slave.

Feat:
Fiendish Darkness(modified for Alter Self) - I used it a lot in my background.

Also - I selected an Albatross for my animal companion. I used all the standard stats for a Bird (eagle, hawk, ect.), but would like it to have a swim speed - say 30' - as it is a seabird with webbed feet.

Background
Kestryl has never known who her original parents were. She was found as a young girl by a tribe of wandering gypsies. Rather it would be more accurate to say, she found them.

The Caravan had been travelling down a wooded carriage road, when the Matriarch heard a strange noise off to the side. Hoping it was game they could catch for dinner, the caravan stopped and scouts were sent to hunt the animal.

Noises led them further and further away, and then suddenly disappeared. Just when they would give up and start back, the noises would start up again, heading in a different direction. Then stop. This repeated a few times before the hunters gave up, discouraged. They ignored the noises the last time and just headed back to their wagon. There they found that a charming but strange girl--no more then 5 or 6, with slit pupils, small pearly horns, and claws--had snuck into their food supplies while they had been on the wild goose chase. She still had a fistful of the pepples she had thrown with great accuracy to lead them astray.

Furious at the embarrassment and missing food, the lead hunter was about to beat the girl, but the Matriarch pulled him back. She declared it was destiny, and the girl was meant to travel the Long Road with them. The Matriarch adopted the girl as her own.

Life with the gypsies was not easy. They travelled much and stayed nowhere. When honest work was not available, they grifted. Kestryl turned out to have uncanny knacks for distraction and misdirection. She loved to climb to high places and surprise the unwary. And no one could best her for accuracy with stones or daggers.

One day they pulled a grift on a Cheliaxian noble, who was fierce in his vengeance. Many of their Caravan were killed, or imprisoned. Many went missing. The Matriarch's last words to Kestryl were to run and make a new identity. It was no longer safe to wear the Caravan's colors.

So Kestryl ran. She ran until she could run no farther--she had found the sea.

When she stepped into "The Maid" Kestryl had no thoughts beyond begging, borrowing, or stealing her next meal. Destiny had other plans. When she got press-ganged, Kestryl was only momentarily discomfited. Then she laughed and laughed. After all, this was simply a Caravan on water.

Zrim was born of the chattel and pirate crew long shipwrecked on a desolate isle somewhere in the Shackles. Unknown to mortals, the island still held a bound Purrodaemon from the time of Cyclopean dominion - it's blood and aura permeating the entire island and slowly poisoning him through the blood and milk of his mother.

When the crew was at last able to escape the island several years later, one of the officers of the crew claimed him as his son. Zrim's early childhood was filled with rousing tales of heaps of treasure beyond imagining just waiting to be taken, and instruction in fighting and seamanship to be able to do so. While still in his early teens, his "father" succumbed to an early grave due to the pirate lifestyle.

Suddenly on his own, Zrim doubly suffered by coming into the fullness of his latent "heritage" when his eyes became fully red and glowed, his skin became tough and ashen-clored, and his body thin and seemingly emaciated updated to better reflect the Purrodaemon heritage. Raised with no regard for empathy, and shown none by the greater world as a "devilish monster", Zrim retreated into his training to survive. Where a rogue would use stealth and guile to steal, Zrim instead chose the more brazen approach of armed robbery.

He began robbing easier targets such as drunks and poorer shopkeepers: tailors net-mendors, weavers, and the like. Each successful robbery increased his confidence to where he was robbing/assaulting more successful merchants and their guards. Nonetheless, these are still small change: the real riches are to be found plundering the trade ships traveling between Avistan and Sargava.

Using what little coin he'd managed to not eat and drink away, Zrim set out for the Formidably Maid to found a berth for himself on a pirate ship and seek out the fabulous wealth to live a life of luxury beyond imagining.

Note please excuse the grammer I didn't take much time to really proof-read

Sasha’s situation began long before she was even conceived. In the jungles of Mediogalti outside the pirate haven of Ilizmagorti there existed a small Coven of witches dedicated to the cult of Orcus. It was here that Sasha’s story really begins.

Lucille, leader of the witch’s coven, and probably the most selfish. Lucille sought only one thing, to be immortal and to serve Orcus for eternity. The rest of the coven saw Lucille’s desire a boon to their coven and a sure way to get Orcus’ favor.

For several years, the coven sought the secrets to making Lucille a Lich but to no avail; until by happenstance the coven acquired a book that held the secrets they were looking for. Where the book came from may never be known nor how the coven came to posses it.

The rituals contained with were long and complex and it would take time and lots of patience to decipher; time that Lucille was unwilling to take. In a hurried ceremony, Lucille and the coven performed the ritual to begin the process of conversion. Unbeknownst to the coven, the ritual called forth Orcus himself to grant Lucille her desire.

In their haste the coven failed to complete the needed containment runes and Orcus was not fully under the coven’s control. Orcus realized this but allowed the coven to make their request.

Lucille demanded from Orcus the power of undeath. Orcus thought a moment of her request but was not one to be ordered he decided to grant her request but with a payment to him. Lucille agreed there was nothing that she would allow to stand in her way now.

Orcus released a rotting ghoulish worm from his hand and it came at Lucille its mouth open and it latched itself to Lucille’s belly draining her soul but giving her the seed that would soon become Sasha.
Orcus told Lucille that the child she would bear would kill her and upon her death her wish would be fulfilled. Orcus told Lucille that just as the child’s birth would bring you what you desire; the child’s death would be your destruction. And with that Orcus left, returning to the Abyss.

Days passed and it soon became apparent that the book that the coven had acquired was stolen from the Red Mantis stronghold and they wanted it back. The first coven member to fall at the hand of an assassin’s blade revealed the rest of Orcus’ plan. As each Coven member died they were reborn as undead loyal to Lucille.

The coven member banded together and fled Ilizmagorti, booking passage on a merchant ship bound for the Mwangi expanse. There they hoped to hide in the jungles of the expanse until the child was born and the promise is fulfilled.

It was not more than 2 days out of port, a terrible storm developed and in the turbulent seas Lucille gave birth prematurely to a baby girl. There was but one healer on board the ship, a cleric of Besmara. He saw what was happening and thought it best to destroy both the mother and the child. He channeled Besmara’s energy to destroy them both but it seemed that Besmara had other plans.

While the energy killed Lucille it blessed the child. The next stage of Orcus’ promise now fulfilled. Besmara saw to it that Lucille’s death would remain connected to her bidding as well as Orcus’ Lucille became a sea Lich bound to the waves taking the souls of those killed at sea fueling her growing undead army to be protected by the remainder of her coven as they each left the realm of the living and passed on to the realm of undead.

The remaining members of the coven seized control of the priest and bound him to their will (use of hexes and enchantments). The priest saw to it that Lucille’s body was committed to the sea where the transformation would be completed. The child was given the name Sasha Neville (Neville being the name of the priest that would become her surrogate father). Sasha was given a locket that once belonged to Lucille.

The merchant ship had to make port at Port peril and the Coven with Neville and the baby in tow disembarked to find some refuge in this city. It was decided that the coven should split up and Neville along with Coven member Jasmine would care for the child.

12 years passed with Jasmine and Neville making the best of a bad situation being forced to sail from port to port evading the Red Mantis where ever they went. But eventually The assassins caught up with them. They demanded to book but they were unable to produce it. The book was buried at sea with Lucille.

Neville and Jasmine were slain by the red mantis and as payment for the book they were to take Sasha. The last of the Coven now dead Sasha was the last of any bloodline associated to the cult of Orcus in the Shakles.

Sasha was to be escorted back to Mediogalti to be converted to one of the Red Mantis as there was little to fear from a mere child. Once the ship left Port Sasha struck killing her escort and managing to either kill or extort the remaining crew (note that this was not a pirate ship) Sasha learned to control the magic that flowed in her demon born blood and make use of the blessing Besmara gave her. The ship soon made port back at Port Peril where Sasha disappeared back into the streets of the city.

A few more years went by Sasha became more and more attuned to her natural abilities. Sasha would always have a yearning for the sea feeling the call of Besmara.

Finally she could not take it anymore she needed to find purpose in her life besides this existence. She returned to the place where the only parents she knew, Jasmine and Neville, were killed. There she found a diary that detailed everything concerning her birth and the truth of her mother. Sasha knew it was time to find a way to return to the sea and find the Sea Lich, the one she would call Mother.

Sasha decided the best place to find a ship would be the Formidably Maid in Port Peril.

Note that Sasha has no idea that the locket that she wears is actually her mother’s Phylactery and thus that is how the final phase of Orcus’ promise would be fulfilled “Sasha’s death would mean Lucille’s destruction”

This part of the background was clearly not explicit enough. Here is a more detailed description of the reasons behind the breeding program.
As part of house Leroung, Kalyx is a powerful conjurer with access to the house resources and fame. As part of his research on the nature and powers of Outsiders, he has stumbled on the particular case of the Oni. As native Outsiders and shapechangers, they can take the form of different creatures like Ogres or Giants or even Tengus or Goblinoids. As part of his research interest, Kalyx wanted to find whether the nature of the Oni material body could influence his powers or core nature. For that, he decided to study the powers of the Oni offsprings, depending on their parentage. The first step was to acquire a pool of women in age of procreating. Most of them were young women sold by their parents to pay their debts. For the second part, he contacted Oni of different backgrounds and negotiated contracts with them, offering them the women in exchange of the offsprings. As Oni were not devils or demons, not summoned or bound, there was no issue with the Chelaxian authorities. Among the Oni contacted was a rare and mighty water Oni, Quay, inhabiting the body of a storm giant. This Oni was intrigued and amused by the proposition and chose a dark haired Isgeri woman called Eliana as his mate. Once Alua was born, Quay took his leave carrying Eliana with him.

First, Alexi is terrified of anyone discovering his Hermaphroditic Nature. He figures, and not without good reason, that those around him would be so alienated by his mixed sexuality in addition to his Tiefling Heritage that no matter what steps he were to take it would be impossible for him to gain acceptance or even tolerance. But his hermaphroditism gives him a certain mutability that reinforces his talent for taking on a variety of personalities. Within him is both a male and female aspect, and he expresses these different aspects by taking on different aliases. Part of the reason why his aliases are so convincing is because they are expressions of opposing pieces of his personality. Alexi feels that there is a part of him that is male and a part of him that is female, but he is incapable of embracing both of these parts of himself at once. Whenever anyone acknowledges what Alexi truly is, he is overcome with a deep sense of self loathing and isolation. However, if he was amongst people who accepted him as a Tiefling, he would also eventually feel comfortable sharing with them his mixed sex. Sharing his hermaphroditism willingly with others would go a long way in allowing Alexi to heal the psychological pain he has experienced in his past. However, if he is outed as a Hermaphrodite against his wishes by someone who views it as grounds to abuse and ridicule him, he will stop at nothing to mercilessly and completely destroy them, piece by piece. While Alexi views his hermaphroditic traits now as a source of shame, they could develop into a source of personal pride or a strong motive for revenge depending on what happens to him over the course of the adventure.

Second, the more I thought about your comments on how Mengkare would react to an attempt by Rakshasas to infiltrate his grand experiment, the more I realized that your comments made a lot of sense. I think Mengkare would kill the Rakshasas and the Rakshasa blooded children if they were on the island, but if any of them fled they would be beyond the reach of the grand experiment, and thus not worthy of his concern. I originally had Alexi be hunted by Mengkare's agents because I thought it would explain well why Alexi is constantly on the run and why he takes on so many personalities. Human prejudice against Tieflings across Golarion is such that he would have more than enough reasons to try to blend in and his fear of being discovered is a great reason why he constantly keeps moving on and thus assuming new aliases. I don't think much of my core character concept for him will need to be changed without the Hermean assassins on his back. Perhaps after escaping the island of Hermea, the Rakshasa blooded children landed in Cheliax and were promptly enslaved and split up. Perhaps Alexi was able to disguise himself when this happened, or perhaps Alexi spent a brief amount of time in captivity himself before escaping. Perhaps he's not on the run from Hermean Assasins, but rather from Chelish slavers. Regardless, I'll have to change my backstory a bit before the character is truly complete. Also, I don't quite know what you meant when you stated that you thought my character's backstory was a little too accomplished for a first level character. If you could clarify what you meant by that comment, that would be great. Let me know if you have any more questions about the character. I'd like to wait until I get feedback from you before I change anything concrete.

2. I was thinking of leaving it open for you to do as you please in this regard, in case it might help you with plot hooks if you were so inclined.
If the ball is in my court, so to speak, I was thinking that his mother is a noble woman in Eleder, where Joneth was actually born and where he remained during the first fifteen years of his life. To be more precise, he stayed at an orphanage until he was ten, at which point he fled and was more or less a street urchin -albeit a teenage one- spending most of his time thieving and learning how to fight to survive until he was about fifteen. At that point, he "hitched a ride" on a ship heading for Port Peril, at first as a stowaway and, once discovered, as a deck hand. As soon as the ship reached its destination, Joneth vanished into the crowd and continued his "education" by stealing, fighting and even killing once or twice until this point, ten years later, making him around twenty five years old at the start of the adventure.

Given to the Cheliax Navy by his father, a slave to do the bidding of all on board,
lower than even a rating. Sent to sleep in th bilge hole and live in squalor with the vermin on board.
Yet when he went up top, on deck, on the rigging, these days were the best of his days, for the lap of the wave,
the salty spray of a wave, these comforted and made the young man feel at ease.
It was during these early days when the navy was in desparate need of ratings to protect their shipping
against pirates and the enemies of Cheliax, that somehow his nature was over time accepted.
He even was able to improve his rudimentary crafting of wooden goods, to the extent he started producing
wooden legs and other anotomical replacements. He started to help the ship's surgeon, showing a distinct
gift for healing skills. The surgeon took him under his wing on one trip, bringing him to understand the gods,
specifically Sarenrae, his healing skills.

It wasn't long before everything went wrong, the trip to the Mwangii coast in pursuit
of the pirate 'Rusty Swordstrong'. The fighting was fine, the flies and the disease they
bought was not. He lost his protector, the ship's surgeon to the yellow fever, he died
and with him Zarnix's fortune.

It was after the capture and death of Rusty Swordstrong in the The Battle of Sweepshore Sound,
that his heritage caught up with him. When the spoils of war are shared, even Zarnix managed to get
an emerald hilted cutlass. A beautiful piece, with much worth in the markets of Coretyn. So much
so that it was coverted by the other rascal sailors and midshipman in the crew. And so it was
Zarnix was accused of theft, what hope did have. The other races didn't need any more of an excuse
to rid themsleves of the slave. No matter the contributions he'd made, to the
uneducated seamen, he would only bring bad luck and he was a thief.

He left the ship before they could take him and punish him, for whatever punishment they chose
it would only have one outcome, Zarnix's death. So it was he took his chance and became a man
overboard. A self imposed castaway he ended up beached on a lonely remote atoll. Almost at death,
it was as if a power had cacooned him and brought him to safety, a power of the sea, a god looking
for those who would serve her.

With no water or food, left to go mad under the heat of the sun, to think of the betrayal of the clean races.
The sun heated his dormant hatred of the Chelaxians. The dehydration and heatstoke that caused him to see things, his destiny,
his god Besmara, who called him to her, bathed his head and poured pure clean cool water down his throat,
it was her who called him, it was her to whom he was to turn to, his god, his loyalty.

A Cheliaxian galley returned a week or so later, sending a small craft to the atoll for supplies.
His revenge took over, somehow he was able to call down a force that shattered the boat in which the
boarding party was traveling. That and Besmara's call to the sharks, left none to tell the tale.
The galley left, leaving Zarnix to his own solitude and probable death.

It was later the pirate ship 'Red Swarm' found him, nearly dead. Another slave to be sold for cash,
however weak he might be. Over time Zarnix recovered his strength, and his talent for
healing. Leaving him to heal several of the scurvied pirates aboard, several owing a life.
The crew then left him to his own, just using to heal when he could.

And so he arrived at Port Peril, time for a drink.

Not 100% happy, but it'll turn into a short story and book if I continue, but its the general gist of his life so far.

Most of the Pyke's are born with deformaties, some with webbed hands and feet, even vestigial gills and growths have been observed but none in this generation were as warped as Baeron. With clouded "dead fish" eyes and rows of sharp teeth as well as blotchy patches of small scales that dot his shoulders and back, Baeron is obviously more than just a deformed human. Among the family, the extra features received nothing more than the raise of an eyebrow, but among the people of Drenchport, Baeron was socially avoided more than the other members of his brood. However, his family name carries respect in Drenchport, for their ruthless business sense, cutthroat attitude and an uncanny knack with sailing the storm tossed waters of the Eye, he was more than welcome on any ship that he wanted to sail on. Like most of his family, he learned his way at sea starting at a young age on their salvage ship, the Deep Vulture, and grew up on the dangerous waters. It was on one of these trips during his teenage years where his life changed forever.

During a particularly nasty storm, Baeron was working the rigging when he was struck by a powerful bolt of lightning that knocked him off his feet. Despite his fiendish skin, the power of it tore through his shoulder and left arm and has left a blossomed, angry scar that runs down to his fingers. He was launched overboard and his lifeline, somehow not properly secured, gave way and he plunged into the cold, stormy waters. He should have died, drowned in the black waters, but the shock of the deathly cold water woke him up and a piece of the wreck his ship was salvaging became his lifeboat. He was dragged away from his ship and he could do nothing but cling to the driftwood until the storm, miraculously, died away. Days passed before he was picked up by a merchant vessel, and while they thought him some strange monster, he managed to convince them to take him along to their destination: Port Peril. He worked on the voyage and despite the crews misgivings, they appreciated the strange sailor with an uncanny knack in the storms that ravaged the waters and were almost tempted to offer him a chance to sign onto the crew as a member, instead of a rescued passenger. Almost.

He spent the next few days in Port Peril, drinking at the Formidably Maid and wondering how he would make his way home. While listening to the empty boasts of the sailors and stories spun around him, he decided to step outside to look out towards the sea...

Baeron is calm under pressure and seems to be a very serious man but he possesses a dry, and very morbid, sense of humor. He loves sailing more than anything else and has been doing so since he was a small child. He's a hard worker, can be deadly and ruthless but is a loyal friend if you manage to get that designation. He loves to drink, smoke and gamble and is a very superstitious man, seeing signs and portents where there may be none.

He has clouded "dead fish" eyes that he can see perfectly well from and a mouth full of sharp teeth. His skin is cold and clammy and his voice is an almost gurgling rasp, as if his lungs can't be cleared of seawater. He also has periodic blotches of scales on his shoulders and back.

Personality: Iuni tends to be very positive and likeable, for a tiefling. She cares about friends and family, and will go to lengths to protect the bonds that she forms with others. She has a disdain for authority built into her blood and supported by her experiences at Port Peril. Iuni has a habit of humming and mock dancing when she thinks no one is watching (and she'd be quite embarrassed if someone found out about her habit). Iuni dislikes violence and prefers unconventional solutions to problems. Her dislike of violence primarily springs from a sense of self preservation rather than any moral compunctions against it - Iuni is well aware of the fact she is far less physically capable than many opponents she might face. As a result, she will only engage in combat if pressed into doing so and will look for ways to outwit her opponents rather than engaging them directly. At the same time, her squeamishness against injury makes her easy to intimidate into submission with threats of physical violence. It should be noted that Iuni dislikes being bullied in such a way and any kind of respect she may show to her tormentor disappears if the opportunity to rid herself of the problem becomes available. Given her background she likes being treated on the basis of her character rather than her appearance. Iuni is nothing but determined to befriend those who treat her with even a modicum of respect, even if she risks being boorish at times. She makes a special exception for other tieflings when it comes to her bullying rule, as she has a personal understanding of why so many tieflings act the way they do.

Iuni's mother is currently puppeteering Pische in order to teach her about plants, animals, and nature related topics. Iuni doesn't actually know its her mother and just thinks Pische is an unusually smart familiar.
Feat: Self-Sufficient
