About Eleanor Lokrien SavetFemale Gnome Oracle (Dual-Cursed Oracle) 1
Appearance:
Eleanor is a study in contradiction. The young gnome's face is framed in lovely auburn curls painstakingly arranged about her face in a deliberately haphazard fashion. Her nails are well manicured and buffed to a high gloss. Healthy cheeks give her face a warm glow, despite the melancholy lurking in the depths of Eleanor's deep, dark eyes. The cute pixie nose centered perfectly above bee stung pink lips crinkles slightly when she smiles. The genuineness of her joy is infectious, seeming to radiate outwards almost palpably. Clean, well manicured, and meticulously groomed, Eleanor obviously cares how she looks.
Oddly, her clothing does not match this ideal at all. Her daily wear clothing is simple, threadbare, and tattered. The dull gray ensemble, a peasant's blouse and skirt, has been repaired so often that there appears to be more patch and stitch than original cloth. The simple sandals are almost as bad. The straps are severely mismatched and have been restitched at least a dozen times if the various colored thread holding her shoes together is any indication, they have been repaired a minimum of seven times. Strange since the soles seem to indicate they are only about a year old. Background:
Eleanor grew up a walking, talking curiosity. The gnome was discovered along the banks of the West Stullen River north of Ustalav. Upon spotting the black, papery skin reaching up from the ground, the war-chief, Hector, immediately made the snap judgment that this was a demon. He loosed an arrow and was surprised when the arrow simply ceased to exist just prior to striking what should have been the beast's heart. Moving in for a closer inspection, the chief was stricken with immense guilt and remorse. This was no demon, it was a helpless, injured, gnome babe.
The proud warrior stripped off his own cloak without hesitation, and swaddled the babe, carrying her home with him to meet his wife, Jezebel. Overjoyed by the opportunity to have a child of her own, a goal that had evaded her for decades despite her best efforts, Jezebel instantly fell in love. As the gnome aged, two things became incredibly clear. First, the wounds of her youth were not improving, despite the best efforts of the various healers, shaken, and hedge witches available. Second, this 'curse' was nothing compared to the natural unlock of the gnome. At first, it just seemed she was without the natural luck of the halflings. As time went on, it became readily apparent that it was far more. Anything the girl touched simply broke. Always the eternal optimist, Jezebel took it upon herself to show everyone the benefit of this 'gift'. Whenever someone was locked out of anything, Eleanor was paraded forth to cause the device to fail. When the clans would return with looted demonic weapons and items, Eleanor would play with, and destroy, the bulk of the loot, allowing it to be easily reforged into items useful for the clan. The eternal optimism and helpfulness instilled in Eleanor are her favorite memories of her mother. Unfortunately, being a tribal clan constantly at war with the demonic hordes of the Worldwound is a dangerous occupation. No matter how well you play, eventually everyone loses. Such was Hector's fate. Despite her best efforts to console her mother, Jezebel's bond to Hector was too strong. Lovesickness had set in, and the fate of the chieftain was inextricably tied to his beloved wife. Jezebel passed away within a year of her husbands death. With the loss of her clan, Eleanor fled south to Ustalav, and from there she used all but the last of her clan's wealth to escape to the legendary city at the center of the world that she might one day return to the Worldwound to avenge her parents. -------------------- Defense -------------------- AC 11, touch 11, flat-footed 11 (+1 size) hp 10 (1d8+2) Fort +2, Ref +0, Will +2; +2 vs. illusions, +2 bonus vs. fear and despair Weakness oracle's curses (blackened, wrecker) -------------------- Offense -------------------- Speed 20 ft.
