there exists a small, yet determined sub-culture known as the Runners.  These are individuals who, for whatever reason, seek to defy Kamidottr, and cross the Great Twilit Bridge.  Some believe the devastation on the other side must have been recovered from after all these years.  Some believe that even a ravaged land is better than a cursed and ravaged one.  Some simply wish to rage against the curse and its avatar.  Ryujin Okudaira was one of the best.  He was rumored to have made dozens of successful crossings, though there is no evidence to support such boastful claims.  Ryujin tempted Kamidottr for the chance to find something great on the other side of the Bridge, and he made his last attempt shortly after learning that his wife, Kamiko, was with child.  Months of planning and preparation went into it, and the venture was a spectacular failure.  The mighty Troll rose up, and decimated Ryujin's Runners.  The news reached Kamiko in the final days of her pregnancy, and she went to the sacred garden to pray to the spirits for guidance.  However, the stress and grief of the news threw her pregnant body for a loop, and she went into labor within hours of hearing it.  The labor was long and hard, lasting far into the night.  When the baby came out, he wasn't breathing.  Kamiko, exhausted from a long labor, and facing the prospect of losing husband and child in one day, began to weep openly.  The Moon Goddess, Siracca, happened to witness the event, and as a mother herself, she could not sit idly by.  The Moon Kami placed a spark inside the child, a tiny sliver of her own divinity, and breathed life into him.  The child's skin turned to a deep midnight blue, he gasped in his first breath, and started to cry.  Kamiko named him Satoshi.Early Life, Childhood to Present Day:Satoshi grew up in Fryjjarwa, in a longhouse he and his mother shared between several other families.  By the time Satoshi had grown big enough to walk, his Deva features had fully settled.  Deep blue skin, with strange markings running along it, the same color as his hair, both of which were the pale silver of a full moon.  From his connection with the divine, the boy was subject to prophetic visions from an early age.  Neither of these led to popularity among the local children.  As a result, Satoshi spent most of his time in one of two places.  The first was Tanuki's Folly.  Odd looks and a connection to the divine are par for the course with the kami, who tended to view Satoshi as one of their own.  They helped the young boy to interpret his visions, and to harness the power of moonlight for his own self defense.  The second was Runner's Rest, a longhouse owned privately by a successful merchant, who believed in the Runners' cause, and allowed the house to be used as an informal base of operations.  Runners were always glad to meet the son of a legend, and always happy to tell him stories of his father.  Satoshi hung on their every word, often transcribing their tales for later.  When he was old enough, Satoshi began to do more than record their tales.  He joined up with other Runners, and acted as the brains(though not the leader) for his own expedition.  The expedition was fueled by youthful invincibility, boundless hope, and a vision Satoshi had during the planning stages, that foretold the Troll's death.  But, despite the omen of Kamidottr's death being clear, it was not to happen on that day.  Kamidottr hurled the Runners through the air, tore some to pieces, other she simply tossed over the side.  Satoshi survived by sheer luck, having been thrownback toward the western side of the bridge, he was fit enough to crawl away from the carnage.Since then, Satoshi has focused on his abilities as a Seer and Scholar.  Of particular interest to him is the history and nature of the curse, and the troll.[/sblock][sblock=Wish List]I don't know if you use wish lists, Cor, but here is a big list of things that will make me happy, and that is usually a good thing to have.[sblock=Story Stuff/Hooks]-Revenge against the Eldritch Troll, Kamidottr!-Satoshi is a bit of a scholar.  I'd like to occasionally find lore, and the promise of such is a good way to spur Satoshi to action.-I have this idea where at some point, we befriend Laoric, the Great Stag, and he totally gives us Stag mounts.  Bonus points if they're kami-descended stags that are intelligent and can talk.-I'm playing the Seer angle, here.  So if you want to throw me some prophetic visions, feel free.  I will probably supply minor ones of my own, too.[/sblock][sblock=Item Stuff]Fair warning, if you hand me an item that doesn't have a very in-depth or intriguing story element attached, I might make one up.  Just sayin'.Implement: Accurate Staff of Ruin(lvl3+, AV)Going for Accurate Staff Proficiency at some point.Armor: Darkleaf Hide(lvl4+, PHB)In any case, I plan to keep my Int high and stay in Hide.Misc: Curse Eye Tattoo(lvl 8, AV2)This one is just cool.  Also, save debuffs, yay!Rituals and Residuum: I want 'em!  I rarely get involved in a concept that uses Ritual Casting, but this one is and I want to make the most of it.  Residuum, One-time use scrolls, Rituals to copy into my book, I want 'em![/sblock][/sblock]</blockquote>
