Character Name - Ahnu
Character Race/Subrace - Summon/Construct, Wendigo (demonic spirit)
Alternate Graphic - Monstrous Interred Grizzle (model 259; hue 1154)
Character Description - When masquerading as human, Ahnu only barely meets the task. Gaunt to the point of emaciation, his bones just out against tight, dessicated skin. His lips are tattered and bloody, chewed away in his insatiable hunger for flesh. His sunken eyes gleam sickly yellow, partially luminous in dim light.
However, Ahnu frequently possesses a more monstrous form, of a great antlered creature that stalks the northern wastes.
Shard Plot Line (Strengths & Weaknesses) - Ahnu is driven by a single purpose - to hunt, to kill, to consume. As the embodiment of human greed and gluttony, he is largely disinterested in other races, and as such may be able to be controlled after a fashion.
Special Roleplay Ability - Relentless. No matter how much Ahnu consumes, it is never enough, and he constantly searches for more. As a result, he is relentless in his pursuit of prey, ignoring injuries and fatigue that would cripple mortal beings.
Previous World - Classic stage of North American prehistory, on an alternate version of Earth
Backstory - "Kesegowa! Brother, do you hear that?" Ahnu shook his brother, rousing him from his sleep. The birchbark walls of their shelter creaked and groaned as the winter storm raged around them, but something else lurked just beyond the senses.
"There is nothing there, Ahnu," Kesegowa grunted and pulled the deerskin closer around him, scooting close to the embers in the dying hearth. The storm had come suddenly and fiercely, cutting them off from the rest of the village, and had raged for three days now, with no sign of stopping. Ahnu quietly stirred the coals, ears straining against the shriek of the wind.
By the fifth day, the hearth lay cold and grey, and the two hunters huddled together beneath their deerskins. Kesegowa slept more often than not, but Ahnu stayed ever alert, twisting and twitching at every snapping branch, every mysterious snuffling from beyond the walls. Kesegowa may only think it the storm, but he knew something was out there, hunting them. Waiting for them to be vulnerable.
By the seventh day, the winds calmed, and a sliver of moonlight shafted through the clouds onto the gleaming snow. Ahnu stirred at the telltale sound of footsteps in the snow. "Brother! Brother, listen!" he nudged Kesegowa, but his head rolled lifelessly to his shoulder. "...brother?" The wind picked up slightly, hissing wicked thoughts through the gaps in the birchbark. Ahnu's stomach gnawed angrily at him, and the footsteps circled ever closer, never quite reaching the wigwam but never out of earshot. "Brother, please!" he shook him more insistently, but his eyes were open, vacant, lifeless. The wind hissed loudly, insistently, as the storm picked up once more. Ahnu realized his chances were slim.
Sobbing, he took his hunting knife, cutting a long slice of flesh from his dead brother's leg, and lifting it to his lips. The first bite was cold, but warm, salty-sweet and the most delicious thing he had memory of eating. He cut another strip of meat, eating it with much more gusto than the first. The footsteps ceased at some point, but Ahnu paid no heed. Discarding the knife, he ripped away the flesh of his brother with his bare hands, his cries turning to unhinged laughter as he gorged.
The storm faded, but a coldness seeped into his bones as he fed. The more he ate, the more he craved, until the insatiable hunger became maddening. When nothing was left of Kesegowa but gnawed bones, Ahnu stumbled out into the snow. The trees around him were changed; the birds dared not sing even in the dawning light. But the creature that was once Ahnu paid little mind to such subtleties. He stalked through the trees, desperately searching with but one thought in what remained of his mind. Find. Kill. Feed.
