Bio
Despite being a fairly tall individual, Flute has the demeanor of a deer: quiet, and a little skittish. It can take a bit to get a real response out of him, but once he gets going it's hard for him to stop! His favorite thing is to seek out a story, whether it be petty drama or connecting history.
Awakened in the ruined last stand of civilization, the Cinder Vault, Flute was born a Flameborn: a fire-hearted individual created by the great alchemist and one of the godlike ancients to withstand the plague that flooded the land. However, his awakening came to late. All those that remained truly human perished in the Encroaching shroud, leaving only the Flameborn and the humans who survived the transformation.
Every corner of the world is now haunted by the thick, fatal spores, and Flute walks the ruins of a dead empire suceeded only by his once-human companions.
His weapon of choice is the bow, followed only by the sword and shield for close-range encounters. He seeks lost knowledge in the ruins, relishes the fragments of a long-lost story. He pieces together the tragic downfall of the people that doomed the land, and dreams of a life where one need not fear the deadly shroud...
He's read about the ocean in books and journals, and if it still exists he longs to see it for himself.
He's known for sitting in strange poses while reading.
He's an avid collector of bits and bobs. He probably has an elaborate anc cryptic storage system for all his junk.
The quickest way to befriend him is to ask about his collections or pieced-together theories.
The quickest way to earn his distaste is to partake in the Elixir that doomed the world.
Extracting "elixir" from deep beneath the ground invites the shroud to begin its takeover.
The Alchemistbegins his project to create a species that can drive back the shroud's advance.
The Capitalis soon overcome, and the living humans flee to flame sanctuaries and are transformed into shroud-resistant Flameborn. Flute is created at this time but does not awaken.
Fluteawakens into a world of Shroud and ruin.
