Andrina Shoresong's page

Andrina grew up among the merfolk of the coastal waters of the Isle of Jalmeray (Golarion) and frequently visited the Isle's markets and monasteries. However, her extremely slow pace on land made it difficult to explore the sights and sounds and keep up with her landfolk friends. One day, she heard a monk of Irori speaking on inner strength, self-perfection, and perseverance. Applying these teachings, she found herself able to force her tail muscles to keep pushing her along, getting closer and closer to the speed of a landfolk (strongtail, alternate racial trait).

This new strength opened up new doors to her, allowing her to explore further inland before needing to return to her parents' home at night. She marveled at the strange sights, sounds, and airborne smells. She spent more and more time at the temple of Irori closest to the shore, listening to the teachings and wondering what new horizons, inside herself, she might open up by self-perfection. She took an acolyte's oaths in the temples, speaking frequently for services (perform oratory), and trying to learn to master herself through martial disciplines, the healing arts, and meditation.

One day while traveling back to the sea, she heard an odd sound coming from the bushes in a quiet part of the jungle. Curious and heedless of her safety, Andrina moved slowly through the bushes to investigate. There she found a man lying on the ground, bleeding and moaning. Standing over him were the three bandits who had attacked him. Determined to apply her training, Andrina moved forward with healing energy in one hand and the other closed into a fist. But her inner strength was not enough to overcome the odds and she fell to the bandits clubs. Stranded out of the water and bleeding, she dehydrated quickly and succumbed to her injuries.

Waking up, dead, in Kisarta, Andrina found a strange beast standing before her. It looked similar to a great dog with arms sprouting from its shoulder blades. With a raised eyebrow, Andrina moved to pet the strange dog but found her hand merging with the creature's body... melting and melding into it... The first of many questions posed by this land after death.

My concept is that Andrina wasn't much of an adventurer before her death. But now a strange creature is melding with her, granting her new abilities and making her quite confused. A journey of self-discovery is required to figure out what self-mastery looks like when the line between self and non-self just got a lot blurrier...
