Player: The Bastard
Race: Tiefling
Class: Warlock 1
Alignment: True Chaotic
Appearance: Daena is a tiefling in her twenties. All her teeth are canine, her eyes are violet, she has the slight smell of nickel, and small(ish), curved horns in the front of her head, just below her hairline. Has a four foot prehensile tail with a retractable barb and three fleshy fins. Dresses like a traveling clothes. Has short, messier hair. The above picture is what she looks like perfectly, but her clothing is far different: She wears a cloak w/ Hood to cover her horns, Cotton Doublet with a leather vest over it, black cotton pants with a leather belt, leather gloves, low and leather boots.
Personality: Daena is mischievous more than greedy or evil. She loves watching things burn, and spends her time scaring people in the dark, since she can see fine. She watching fights, and participating from the sidelines, but she is cannot use weapons particularly well, so she avoids the actual getting hit part if possible. She doesn't do MUCH that is outright malicious, but she does like to cause minor problems for a lot of people.
Background: Daena's first memories are of a cult, with her parents. She remembers little of them, but she knows at least one of them was a tiefling too. However, about a year into when she could start remembering things, there was a crusade against the cult, and paladins, clerics, and monks can in, ripping through the demon worshipers.
When the problems began, she had been locked in her room, as she usually was, to prevent her from running away. She could hear the casting, and smell the brimstone and arcane power in the air as the cult tried to fight them off. Eventually, a knight busted into her room, and found her there, a child with demon blood, hiding behind her bed.
When the fight ended, and the bodies were being burned, Daena was taken in by the paladin who found her. Despite many protests from his comrades, who believed Daena was part of some insidious plot, the paladin would not let the others harm a child.
Daena spent the next eight years with the paladin and clerics, none of whom liked her, but none of whom would go against the other paladin's wishes. They tried to teach Daena civility, the path of righteousness, and other moral and philosophical concepts that were quick to leave Daena's ears. While none who lived there liked her, most eventually agreed she was no the evil creature they had once thought. She would occasionally pull pranks, but showed remorse if she ever actually hurt someone.
Daena's life with them came to an end when the paladin who had taken her in was needed at another location. The high priest there absolutely refused to allow Daena to come, and the people at her current location were fed up with her. They kicked her out of the streets as soon as the knight was out of the city.
Of course, like any good little girl, Daena knew how to get by. Rob people. It worked, for about a week. Then, she saw a particularly good hit. A full coin purse, dangling from a slower, elderly woman's hip. When she went up to snag it, it came off easy, but when she tried to run, she bumped into a large, half orc kid. She turned and tried to run, bumping into a human teenager. She looked around, realizing she was surrounded.
One of the half-orcs knocked her hard on her head, while the others grabbed her arms and legs and dragged her to an old, decrepit house. There, nearly thirty kids were gathered, screaming about the horrible things they were going to do to her. Then, the half orc who had struck her came forward with an evil grin. "I'll take care of her…" He pinned her hands behind her back and carried her kicking and screaming into a back room. Then, he just let her go.
Instead of hitting her, or doing anything, for that matter, he just looked at her. The same places everyone looked. Her horns. Her tail. The places that marked her as being of demon blood. She tried to look around for a way to escape, but the room was locked tight. Finally, the half-orc broke the silence. "So…"
And then things changed. He changed. He was not a half orc at all. He suddenly became human, with horns growing out of his head, purple eyes, and a tail. Not only that, but he was no longer a he. Every feature except his clothing matched Daena. Her mind went blank when she saw herself copied. "You are different too? Not like everyone else?"
That day, Zoroff and her spoke at length. Only Daena knows Zoroff's real face, and Zoroff's real name. Under Zoroff's leadership, her and the other street rats managed to steal, beg, con, and pilfer more gold, food, and items than she had ever seen. And when gang got ratted out and scattered, she followed Zoroff (who changed his name and face) to west to Dragonport.
((Like Zoroff, Daena has Rich Parents despite not having parents. This money is actually her own personal childhood stash that she gathered together before fleeing the city.))
