Background:
Growing up among the urchins of Qi, Voss learned early that he was different. His strength and agility easily outmatched children many years his senior, but he did not us this advantage cruelly. He was fascinated by the silvery blue tracings that the sinews in his body emitted when he was exerting himself. Obviously, he had been or his ancestors had been altered by the numenera at some point. His knowledge of such things was limited to superstition and legend, but he vowed to learn more and to continue the improvements writ upon him.
Around the age of 10, Voss' group of urchins was captured by a slaver gang and auctioned off. Voss was purchased by a travelling entertainer looking for a new apprentice. Bound into service until he was 18, Voss traveled with his "owner", learning this region's virility dance, this region's battle dance; but also learning the ways of combat, for there were none but themselves to defend against aggressors in the wild spaces of the Steadfast.
So it was one day that after entering a village for supplies, Voss returned to the entertainer's campsite, to find it gone. No trace remained. Feeling no compulsion to discover the fate of his erstwhile owner, Voss from then on went his own way, always on the search for that that may help him improve upon his current capabilities.
Description:
Standing at least 6'4'' tall, Voss possesses a deceptively slight, wiry build. Grey eyes look out from under longish hair of a slivery shade, a generally friendly face.
Tending to introspection, Voss' personality is one of driven ambition. To improve himself beyond his current abilities. He makes friends carefully.

Rules Reference:
Task Difficulty
0 Routine 0 Anyone can do this basically every time.
1 Simple 3 Most people can do this most of the time.
2 Standard 6 Typical task requiring focus, but most people can usually do this.
3 Demanding 9 Requires full attention; most people have a 50/50 chance to succeed.
4 Difficult 12 Trained people have a 50/50 chance to succeed.
5 Challenging 15 Even trained people often fail.
6 Intimidating 18 Normal people almost never succeed.

8 Heroic 24 A task worthy of tales told for years afterward.
9 Immortal 27 A task worthy of legends that last lifetimes.
10 Impossible 30 A task that normal humans couldn’t consider (but one that doesn’t
break the laws of physics).
Special Rolls
1: Intrusion. The GM makes a free intrusion (see
below) and doesn’t award experience points (XP) for
it.
17: Damage Bonus. If the roll was an attack, it
deals 1 additional point of damage.
18: Damage Bonus. If the roll was an attack, it
deals 2 additional points of damage.
19: Minor Effect. If the roll was an attack, it
deals 3 additional points of damage. If the roll was
something other than an attack, the PC gets a minor
effect in addition to the normal results of the task.
20: Major Effect. If the roll was an attack, it deals 4
additional points of damage. If the roll was something
other than an attack, the PC gets a major effect in
addition to the normal results of the task. If the PC spent
points from a stat Pool on the action, the point cost for
the action decreases to 0, meaning the character regains
those points as if she had not spent them at all.
