Traits:
Armor Expert (Combat): When you wear armor of any sort, reduce that suit’s armor check penalty by 1, to a minimum check penalty of 0.
Fate's Favored (Faith): Whenever you are under the effect of a luck bonus of any kind, that bonus increases by 1.
The Pessimist (Campaign): Your faith that the worst possible outcome will occur grants you a +1 trait bonus on Will saving throws.

Aranor Crus had a good life. The other children were occasionally cruel regarding her unusual coloring, but she learned how to win them over with a charming smile. It wasn’t fun being unable to go outside in bright sunlight, but she could go out in even the darkest night without fear of anything lurking in the shadows. Her parents were frequently busy, but when they were home they always made time to assure Aranor of just how much she was loved. It was a good life.
Then the orcs came.

Aranor woke to the sound of screams. Orcs were everywhere, cutting down people as they tried to flee. As she was peeking outside one saw her and charged, only to be tackled by someone. Talric. He was a baker, and he made the best bread, and she’d seen him nearly every day of her life.

”Run!” he screamed. The orc looked down, seemingly annoyed at the interruption, and casually stabbed him in the chest.

Aranor ran.

Her ability to see in the dark served her well as she fled across the fields. She was even able to find other survivors as they collectively made their way to the closest village. Her father Rogar was among them. Her mother Talia was not.

Griefstricken and paranoid after his wife’s death, Rogar began drilling Aranor relentlessly with both weapons and armor. Even as they reclaimed and rebuilt their home with the help of the knights of Lastwall, Rogar was certain that the orcs would return. He was determined that both he and Aranor would be able to defend themselves when they did. Aranor shared his view that it was not a matter of if the worst would happen, but when.

Their neighbors shook their heads over this pessimism. After all, Rossler’s Coffer was rebuilding. The orcs were being driven away. Most recently, even the monster hiding in the temple had been defeated! The town was almost back to where it had been ten years before; why borrow trouble where there was none?

Aranor knew better. She worked tirelessly to hone her skills, including the strange new powers she was beginning to manifest. It was only a matter of time before everything came crashing down once again.

This time she would be ready.
