Mitros's page

Six Concepts
1. A member of the Hawk Clan of the Shoanti, he is fiercely protective of the natural world that he has lived in his whole life. Those who upset the natural order of the world are an enemy of Mitros.
2. Although wise in many ways he was a frail and weak child. He is somewhat ashamed of this and it pushes him to do all he can to better himself and deepen his connection to the natural magic of the world.
3. Ria is a female Storm Roc that he saved from a Fire Pelt attack when it had just hatched. The mother had abandoned it in the nest because it was smaller and couldn't fly. He could relate to Ria and after years he loves Ria like family.
4. Mitros left his Clan behind to travel and expand his point of view. Although he loves his clan he sees their warlike ways as shortsighted and he worries about becoming too set in his ways and thoughts like they have become.
5. Mitros has a special affection for wildlife and has spent most of his life ensuring that various animal species were not over-hunted, both by his Clan and by other hunters traveling through Varisia.
6. He longs to find out exactly what happened to his father during the fight between his Clan and a rival wandering Clan. He believes his father to be dead but the body was never recovered.

Two Goals
1. I want him to meet and learn from some of the other Druids in their various enclaves across Varisia. He has heard of them in passing but his Clan has previously never encountered any and it fits the theme of him wanting to broaden his understanding of the world.
2. Eventually I intended to have him Awaken some animals, possibly including his animal companion depending on how it would be ruled that interacts with the class feature/allowing leadership/etc. So it would be cool to give him the chance to interact with some Awakened Animals and help them essentially learn to protect and fend for themselves.

Two Secrets
1st Secret [Known]: Mitros left his Clan because he was scared of dying in some futile Clan war like he believes his father did and wishes to see more of the natural world he loves so much while he can.
2nd Secret [Unknown]: Although his Mitros and the rest of his Clan believe Mitros' father to have died in a fight with another Clan, his father is actually alive. He was a respected fighter but ran from the battle and stayed away from the Clan for fear of being see as a coward.

Personal Ties
Norra: Norra is Mitros' mother, she is something akin to a medicine woman and taught Mitros a little bit about natural alchemical remedies. She encouraged him to leave the Clan and follow his heart into the rest of the world. She also would likely be the only member of the Clan to suspect, if not outright know, the real fate of Mitros' father.
Finnick Hall: Finnick is a traveling bard that Mitros ran into on the road shortly after leaving his Clan. Initially he was hesitant to travel with someone else, especially outside of his Clan but Finnick quickly warmed him up. He served as a nature guide to Finnick and in return he was told stories of all the places Finnick had traveled to in his time as a wanderer. Its been almost a decade since they first met but Mitros and Finnick still try to keep in touch, seeking each other out when Finnick is in Varisia.
Braum Issac: A big game hunter who stalks prey for the glory of the kill, not out of any need to provide food for himself or his family. The practice disgusts Mitros but Braum's skill as a ranger is something that Mitros respects, he just mourns how Braum chooses to utilize that skill.

Memories
1. One of his earliest memories is from what Mitros was very young. He was a weak and frail child, his mother was a healer and fretted over him constantly. But one day when she was helping one of the Clan's families through a difficult labor Mitros' father took him out and let him ride one of the Clan's horses. If given a choice his mother never would have allowed it, she'd have worried about him getting hurt. But his father was careful with him and getting to ride the horse all by himself was one of a young Mitros' proudest memories. It was also the start of his love for animals of all kinds.
2. Mitros will never forget sheltering under a small rocky outcropping, bleeding and exhausted, after hauling a fledgling Ria away from the enraged Fire Pelt. The feeling of contentment he felt seemed to radiate out and be reflected back to him by Ria. It was the start of their bond, one that had deepened every day since, but feeling that deep connection between their souls harmonize for the first time is a comforting memory to recall.
3. Rarely does Mitros have outright violent thoughts. Even more rarely does he wish to cause harm to a living thing, unless the sacrifice of one life could benefit many. But the anger and sadness he felt after hearing his father had been killed in battle drove him towards an irrational hatred he had not felt ever before, nor has he felt it since. He swore he could find the rival Clansman who killed his father and he would get his revenge. Although his feelings have cooled over the years, he still wishes to find out what happened that day.
