The Woodcutter[edit]

Lvl: 3
XP: 6

Background: He remembers being a little boy, picking up branches that had fallen on the ground. He remembers being a young man, chopping down trees. He remembers being a soldier and finally retiring after several years of service.

But what he mostly remembers is the day the Night Roads opened. Everyone in his village was killed, while he was helplessly sucked in. He should have died, no mortal should have been able to survive. But he did. First by hiding from monsters, then hunting the smaller ones, the weakest ones, chopping them down like saplings with his trusty axe. Chop, chop, chop. Every day, until the monsters started getting bigger and bigger, no longer needing to eat or sleep, just endless chopping.

Then one day, he was out. Five years had gone by, of constant bloodshed and fighting, but he was finally out. And there are still so many Uncreated that need to feel the Woodcutter's Axe.

Appearance: The Woodcutter is tall with broad shoulders and heavily muscled. His head is shaved and he sports a thick beard and mustache. He wears furs, made from the hides of Uncreated he has killed, though it looks like simple woodcutter's garb.

Artifacts[edit]

Woodcutter's Axe: it started out as a normal woodcutter's axe. But five years of being soaked in the blood and gore of Uncreated has altered it. It still looks like a woodcutter's axe, but it carries a baleful aura and flecks of old blood that can never be cleaned off, and the blade never dulls, no matter how much it cuts.
