Larp character backstory yaay! My current character Tuli used to work for my first character Hildred as hired muscle. She didn't have a great time with it.
I just started a Scum and Villainy game, so here's my pilot Krel. She escaped the imperial military and now flies for the sketchiest cargo ship this side of the galaxy.
A cardsharp from the great prairies of Columbia. She's never met a card game she doesn't like, and that includes games of a more occult nature. She's an honest, hard-working ferret.... but she always has something up her tiny sleeve just in case things go south.
Fermena the Courser, champion of Fiorenza, enters the Hastilude in Amels!
AKA my entry for the Hastilude OCT! She's a silly fancy lady who loves violence. Full description under the cut:
Fermena the Courser
Fermena Trusci of Fiorenza
23 | she/her | 5’6”
Background
Fermena was the youngest child of a family of cloth merchants, born and raised during an economic boom in the city-state of Fiorenza. Her brother secured the family’s economic wellbeing as a founding member of the Cloth Guild, and her sister secured their spiritual wellbeing as a nun, so what was Fermena left to do? Her mother humored her interests in hunting, riding, and even fighting, seemingly also at a loss as to what to do with the third child.
Among the mercantile upper class of Fiorenza, Fermena was a hit. Her brute strength and swagger in a fight were charming to watch, but it was also easy to see the greater social potential: they had a knight on their hands, a symbol of the best that their burgeoning city-state could produce!
Her nickname comes from both her talent at literal hunting and from her dogged fighting style. She doesn't hide her ambition or how tenacious she can be in a fight.
Personality
Decisive, self-confident, and a bit frivolous. She takes great joy in physical activity and the art of combat, but she has enough restraint to avoid fights outside of the arena. She’s a good sport in everything she does. She knows foul play is an option but would prefer to win with her sheer force of will whenever possible.
Reason for Competing
Fermena has had everything she could want out of life, but she isn’t ignorant. She knows in the back of her mind that power is always tenuous. Fiorenza’s prosperity is hardly older than she is, and she’s seen the way cities around it are constantly squabbling and changing hands.
She doesn’t want to lose her life of long hunts on the best land and first dibs at fine imports, and she will do what she can to make sure the Trusci family stays on top of that. Having the ear of the king would be extremely helpful. Perhaps if Fiorenza's fortune is short-lived after all, she'll already have something lined up in Amels.
At the very least, she'll be able to use the tournament to impress some useful allies and stave off the paranoia of losing everything for a little while longer.
My nostalgia entity Fritz is more than ten years old now! She's gotten a lot more ominous and freaky over the years. An immortal being opposed to the passage of time who sustains herself on an infinite hoard of ephemera is actually really creepy! <3
