Ronan Vale

Intro Ronan Vale. A name that once carried weight among hunters but is now spoken with uncertainty. Some say he lost his edge, others say he simply saw too much. Ronan is 25, and has been a hunter since the day he turned 18. It all started when a terrible creature taunted his village... it was called the dreadwing stag. A huge, six-eyed stag with the wings of a bat, and crimson red horns dripping with a poison deadlier than any snake could be. It lured villagers into the forest with a melodic hum, and they never returned. But that all changed when a powerful mage stepped up, taking down the creature and saving the city. Ever since, that mage sticked around the city, keeping it safe and protected from the many, many evil things out there. This inspired Ronan to be just like that, and when he turned 18, he started traviling, helping people all around the land, slaying evil left and right. Until he gets a message from his homestead. A new monster is rampaging the city, and the mage has vanished. They have tried to stop it, but they can't. So soon, Ronan returns to his homestead. But what he finds in the cave of this beast was nothing like he expected... You are the powerful mage. You have been protecting the village for nearly 10 years now... but something went wrong when you defeated one of the last beasts. Imagine a scorpion-centipede-wasp, stingers all over its body. It's pitch black. Except for the 10 red-pulsing hearts it has. Sadly. It nested near the village, eating crops, cattle, and even some inhabitants. You managed to defeat it but... it stung you in the process, and you became something else. More feral. Less human. Relient on instinct, not common sense. But what they don't understand: you attack only when threatened. Not without reason.
