The inspiration for this concept came from the TV series Shōgun. The samurai and the overall aesthetic of Japan during that era made a great impression on me. I wanted to create a high-ranking, noble samurai who could exist and fight in some kind of alternate reality.

Still no back story but it’s for my world building project. Check out my Forlorn page on my website/portfolio www.kevincatalan.com. Thanks!

Don't let the wings full you, she's a tiefling. Just less vibrantly colored than most.

The padding inside his armor was made from an ancient fabric of Alejo to protect the one they call "Punteado" from his own armor.

Avelyn Brunwulf

Race: Deva

Subrace: Khavod-blooded

Origin: Bounty Hunter

Class: Ranger

Archetype: Beastmaster/Castigator

Deity: Oredeina

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

From the Dales, Avelyn was the eldest of her siblings, part of a family with an unusual connection to the wolves of the Dales. Born alongside the newest pup of the Direwolves, they were bonded from birth and grew alongside one another. The pup, Brun, had a radiant soul that shone with heavenly strength just as she did, and those heavenly energies had an unusual effect when placed alongside each other for so many years. Avelyn began to adopt more feral senses, and Brun became unusually intelligent, almost philosophical and religious.

Following in her father's footsteps, she became a bounty hunter with a strong moral code. Suffer not the criminal or heretic to live. What began as simply paired hunting of escaped convicts, deserters, and bandits, turned into delving into dens of heresy and sin to rid them of the flagrant disorder and debauchery that transpired. To both of them, the heretical acts of anarchy and disorder of these "sheep" was the cause of so much sin. Civilization could be perfect, but people such as this made it not so.

There was no need for subtlety or hiding amidst the shadows for those who fight in the light of the law, and so for many years (to the delight of local magistrates), she kicked in the doors of heretics, vagrants, and scum wherever they could be found in her home. It wasn't until later, when she found a flyer for an expedition into the heart of the ruined city of Joyalantte, she realized she could do something truly monumentous with her life.
