About HascyaBefore you stands a large, imposing man. He stands more than six feet tall, and is broad of shoulder. He’s also pretty much naked, save for a loincloth and the harness which holds his massive sword across his back, along with some elaborate tattoos. A smallish owl flies down from the rafters of the inn to settle on the leather strap crossing his shoulder, cooing softly. He turns his bald head towards it and says, matter-of-factly, “Hoot,” in a manner which seems forced and awkward, but the owl bobs its head a few times, rustles its feathers, and closes its eyes to sleep.

Concept Elements:
Hascya grew up in the Ashlands, son of the cheiftan of the Mosint Birburod, a minor tribe. Though a powerful warrior from a young age, as well as a promising herbalist, Hascya was mostly known as a fool, with a grip on reality that was tenuous at best. He talked to plants, and animals, and himself, and always ran off with crazy ideas. He was easily tricked, and not terribly capable of caring form himself, of identifying threats, or of generally making decisions for himself. Three years ago, Hascya’s foolhardiness became too much. He signed away the rights to 90% of his tribe’s silver-rich land to group of prospectors who he considered his friends (after only knowing them for a few hours. Despite his father’s protestations to the local Altin-appointed mediator, the contract was ruled valid because Hascya was nominally next-in-line to the cheiftanship, and the tribe was corralled into a small corner of their lands while workers from Altin moved in to begin digging in their sacred lands. Hascya was declared an enemy of the tribe, and exiled deeper into the jungle. In his despair, Hascya found a small owl, which he believes spoke to him, kept him safe from storms and jungle predators, and eventually brought him to Altin a wiser man. He named the owl Twohey (pronounced TOO-ee) and it has been his constant companion since. From Altin, Hascya boarded a ship to Windrip Isle, seeking work as a mercenary—he hopes to earn enough money to buy back his lands and redeem himself to his tribe—where he knew there was a war on. He worked for a few months as a guard at a warehouse on the docks, but found that city life was too expensive to save much money, so he fled the city into the woods to clear his head. After a few days, he had a dream of a man with a wolf, and Twohey clearly wanted him to go East, so that’s what he did. ”Someday, I will return to my lands, and reclaim my rightful place as our chief.
Goals:
To return and retake his tribes lands and become Chief, Hascya is going to need a great deal of money, as well as wisdom.
Of course, he has no idea how to get these things, so he’s just sort of wandering around wherever Twohey “tells” him to go. ”In the cities, you hide behind your secrets. In the Ashlands, a secret is something too boring to tell to your friends.
Secrets:
Hascya doesn’t really have any secrets. He’s honest, and blunt, and doesn’t have anything to hide. At least, not yet. The miners who bought Hascya’s lands dug too greedily, and too deep. They’ve unleashed something horrifying, and don’t have the resources to deal with it. They’d probably sell the lands back on the cheap. ”My father, the chief of my tribe, declared me an enemy. He sent me from our lands, and cut me off from everyone I knew.”
People:
Hascya’s greatest friend is his pet owl, Twohey. He sees Twohey as more than a friend, but as a spiritual and life guide, sent by his ancestors to help him mend the errors of his ways. Though Hascya can talk to animals, the two communicate primarily empathically. Back in the Ashlands, Hascya has a whole tribe. The years since his departure have not been kind to them, and they would likely welcome him back for his strong arm, if nothing else. The ship Hascya took to Carron was the Windy Day, captained by Ozzy Cutler. The crew took a liking to Hascya, treating him as their mascot, and would probably give him passage, free of chare, if he were to run into them again. ”On my ship, it was a topic of much debatin’ whether the big fellow could really talk to his owl, or to the spirits and such, or iff’n he was just crazier‘n a goblin’s momma. I think it’s a trick question—‘e was both. Most things he said could jus’ be ignored, but if I’d listened when he predicted the storm, two good sailors’d be alive today.” –Ozzy Cutler, Captain of the Windy Day
Mannerisms:
Hascya has sublimated his own personality to Twohey’s, or possibly what he imagines Twohey’s to be. He will speak of “we want” or “Twohey thinks” but rarely of what he himself wants or thinks. However, if anyone asks him about what Twohey thinks, he will look at them like they are crazy and point out that Twohey is a bird. Similarly, he’s likely to credit his own abilities to Twohey, which sometimes comes off as humble (tracking a monster) and sometimes as bizarre (a feat of strength). Hascya is friendly, honest, and outgoing. If his insanity is a little offputting, he makes up for it with charm. |
