Background:
Kepli Amster has lived in Numeria all his life, and was only 5 years old when he met The Hive. He had been exploring some nearby ruins when he came across a couple Hive warriors scouting the area for new hosts. Kepli was taken back to their colony and cocooned, ready to be infested and transformed into a member of the Hive. However, adventurers who had heard rumors of the colony and what they had been doing to their victims stormed the colony just in time, and ripped Kepli out of his cocoon just as the infestation was starting to take place.
Kepli didn't escape unharmed, of course. While managing to avoid a full blown infestation, he began to grow strange deformities on his body. Sudden growths would sprout over night and strange spines would grow on his back. His parents still cared for him, but he was shunned by the other people in town. Strangely enough, Kepli didn't seem too disturbed by what had happened to him. Sure, he was glad the strange creatures had been eradicated, but he also began to develop a fascination for them. Kepli devoted his adolescence to studying the great unknown. Strange creatures from distant worlds led to a fascination with the night sky and the movements of planets and stars. Nobody his age wanted to be around him, fearful that he might be contagious, but Kepli wasn't bothered. Less time for socializing meant more time for studying. Thankfully, his family still cared for him and managed to keep him from being a recluse. He still went to family gatherings, though his parents often lied about how he obtained his deformities. As Kepli reached adulthood, he decided it was time to strike out on his own. He had heard of the town of Torch many times and the strange flame on the hill that burned on its own. And while that fascinated him, it hadn't been enough to draw him to Torch. No, what drew him to the town were the rumors of strange alien creatures in the caverns below! He felt deep in his heart that Torch would have the answers he was seeking. He grabbed his sling and his father passed on to him a suit of studded leather and armor and a sickle. The armor had belonged to his grandfather, who was an adventurer in his younger days. The sickle was a piece of farming equipment that they could spare. His parents had never been fighters themselves, but they wanted to make sure their son was protected on his journey. Kepli has now lived in Torch for six months, having spent that time obtaining a home for himself and makes a living in town telling the fortunes of others, using only the night sky and a deck of cards. Unfortunately his desire to investigate the rumors of aliens has been hampered by the presence of the Technic League. Being a Halfling, he didn't want to draw the attention of an organization so keen on slavery. Not yet, anyway. While he bides his time, he focuses even harder on his research and unraveling the mysteries of the heavens. Personality:
The first thing people tend to notice about Kepli is how unexpectedly cheery and charming he is, despite his deformed appearance. He is incredibly enthusiastic about the stars and planets and creatures that may come from them. He cares deeply and feels a kinship for anyone and anything shunned by society; Outcasts, bizarre creatures, anything that subtly reminds him of himself. One of the quickest ways to anger him is treating any living being as less. More than anything, he is obsessed with learning about alien creatures. He's not a fool, he recognizes the potential danger in his interest and tries to be cautious, but his excitement has been known to get the better of him. He can be quiet at times, preferring his study of the heavens to idle chatter. |
