Who is Rent? Rent is first and foremost a pacifist. Now living rough in Golarion isn't condusive to rigid pacifisim, but he'd much rather talk things out than hurt people. He'd much rather use his skills as a healer, either magically or with herbs. Helping people is Rent's passion, but when harm needs to be brought on someone, he tries to use non-lethal incapacitation techniques. Like his ability to freeze someone's shadow to the ground, (reskinned shadow trap) or the ability to temporarily transfer over the hunger that Rent suffers from. More on that to follow. Rent is also a deeply devout man, beleiving that the empyreal lord Tolc took pity on him, and helps him keep his curse at bay. There is at least some evidence that this might be true, due to the young man's ability to heal wounds with a touch.
What do I bring? Rent brings basically nothing at first level. Not a great fighter, a not terrible AC tank, but he'd much rather not be on the front lines of combat. He's got a few usual social skills, and the ability to face pretty well with diplomacy and sense motive. Perhaps most interestingly, he provides both magical and mundane healing, and a solid ammount of battlefield control with his wasting abilities. Eventually, he'll be able to throw around a ton of save or suck type spells, which fits into his pacifistic nature of trying to avoid direct damage, and instead hinder the bad guys so much that they just want to give up.
Backstory:Rent was from a now destroyed town from way up north. A caravan of varisian merchants found the boy at the age of no more than 12. The signs were all there to those who were aware of such things, a Wendigo had stalked and ultimately destroyed the village, either through it's own claws, or through the madness that it brought upon the townsfolk. Strangely enough, Rent seemed to have escaped physically unharmed from this ordeal, although mentally he was gravely wounded. For whatever cruel reason, the Wendigo had spared him from it's canibalistic madness. Rent had to beat off family and friends who hungered for his flesh for days. Left without food or water, and naught but the corpses of his dead community members to keep him company he certainly would have fallen to the beast's influence had the wandering merchants not made their bi-yearly pilgramage out to his town. They took Rent from that place, but it was too late. The Wendigo's presence had been enough to permanently alter the physiology of the young man. Normal food never satisfied Rent. Fresh meat was the only thing that beat back the hunger. And only briefly. Rent had the unpleasent suspicion that only human meat would satiate his hunger. However, the thought nauseated him beyond belief, and he vowed to himself that he would never succomb to the same madness that took his first family.
Rent was also very cold. Always cold no matter where they went. The Varisians were kind to him, and he began to think of them something like a second family. They supported him in his dream to protect life, and taught him medicine, as well as ways to tap into the magic of his curse in a more productive way. Everyone was surprised then when after 6 years of staying with the Varisians, that Rent announced his intention to set off on his own, in an effort to bring a helping hand to those who were injured. Rent had always intended to travel south, maybe find himself in warmer lands, but no matter how south he went, he never could shake the unspeakable chill, and the terrible hunger. Something in the North still called to him, something still had a peice of his soul. Perhaps Rent can find some closure by traveling up there, and reclaim whatever part of his soul he left behind there, or perhaps he will find himself overwhelmed by the evil that he only barely escaped all those years ago. Will Rent be able to withstand the Wendigo's hunger enough to make use of it's gifts for good, or will he become a living ghoul, a twisted perversion of the healer he so longs to be?
Rent is in Heldren to offer services as a wandering healer, and maybe begin to plan a trip north.
