Fluff

Background

Haruka Sato was born into a prominent merchant family in the Jade Kingdom. A dutiful daughter and sibling, Haruka was bored and unsatisfied with her life. So things would have remained had not some malignant force detected her arcane potential. She was targeted for recruitment by the Cabal of the Patient Dusk: a cult devoted to the shadow that had caused the fall of the Empire. The cultists approached her, offering the restless girl something her current life could not deliver: a challenge. Heedless of the cost, Haruka accepted.

The Cabal delivered on its promises. Haruka gleefully devoured the forbidden lore that was given to her. The other cultists were careful to never ask of her any single task that was too corrupting. Instead, they had her perform more subtle assignments. Haruka was aware that what she did was wrong, but she convinced herself that her actions were inconsequential. Even swearing an oath to the Cabal’s demonic patron seemed so harmless at the time. In this way, Haruka didn’t realize that over the years she was slowly but surely walking down the path to damnation.

The reality of her situation hit home when she arrived at the Cabal’s hideout one day to find her fellow cultists slaughtered. As she investigated the scene, she tried to tell herself this was simply the work of the authorities. It was possible that the city guard tore the door out of its frame, and maybe the fighting had been so intense that the other cabalists had been ripped apart. But when she entered the abattoir of the inner cloister, the residual stench of dark magic told her this was more than a skirmish with the local authorities. What was worse, Haruka had the undeniable feeling that whatever had caused this was still here.

She didn’t stay long enough to find out whether the Cabal had been killed by another cult or whether they had called up something they were unable to control; all she knew was that she had to leave before whatever butchered them came after her. So she started running as fast and as far as she could. Surely that which had killed her companions wouldn’t follow her all the way to the Proximate Isles. And if it did? Well, hopefully by then she would be strong enough to confront it.

Appearance and personality

Age: 23
Gender: Female
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 136 lbs
Alignment: Unaligned

Personality: Recent events have tempered Haruka’s impulsiveness with caution, her brashness with respect, and she is more aware that her actions can have unforeseen consequences. She can still be headstrong and a bit reckless, but only when she’s excited. Normally she’s polite and reserved, especially in social settings. Despite the danger she believes herself to be in, she is quite interested in the brave new world she sees around her.

Physical Description: Haruka is slim of build and pale of complexion. Her green eyes peer inquisitively out from under her black hair. She has made no attempt to blend with the local color, and her clothing and lacquered leather armor are dominated by asymmetry and baroque patterns of black and deep red. She also has coiling, serpentine tattoos proclaiming her allegiance to her patron, but these are mostly hidden by her clothing, and it’s unlikely anyone would recognize them for what they are.

Region

The Kingdom of Jade - +1 on insight checks; +2 on social bluff checks against individuals who are not from the Kingdom of Jade.

Hooks

• Hook 1: Haruka is always on the lookout for more ways to increase her strength, and she isn’t averse to taking shortcuts to do so.
• Hook 2: The demonic patron of the Cabal of the Patient Dusk occasionally whispers to Haruka in her dreams, giving her advice, guidance, and suggestions. While she has no illusions regarding the nature of her patron, it has yet to steer her astray.
• Hook 3: Who wiped out the Cabal? Rival cultists, or something worse?
• Hook 4: Despite being selfish, arrogant, and vain, Haruka has a soft spot for families. She's likely to go more out of her way than she would otherwise if the beneficiary is a family, especially if the family in question contains daughters. This is out of both guilt for abandoning her own sisters when she fled the Kingdom and homesickness for the aforementioned siblings.

Kicker

• Haruka is running from whatever murdered her fellow cultists. She’s also building up her arcane power, should she need to confront their killer.
