Re: Bloodthirsty Idealism (Zilrax, Rath, Paramort) GM'd by MAF
"It's simple, really. I've had practice staying away under people's radar," Tasha says quietly, just enough for Denna and Aurora to hear, gesturing to her various animal features, "I was with a mercenary band who picked me up out of the Anudor. That one's a tale I'd rather not discuss." Turning to Denna she looks down at the scars on Denna's hips with a telling amount of sympathy, created no doubt by the Hunters the aliens were so fond of using. The message is pretty implicit, even if Tasha's being tight lipped about the ordeals she'd gone through in the desert.
"Anyways, we ended up in Badaria because pay overwhelmed common sense. I was safe enough when I had my merc band at my back, but as soon as the cultists attacked, we sorta scattered to the winds. I imagine this part is pretty familiar for you, Denna. Middle of the night, animal masks, and lots of drugs. I was on night guard, and I was already suspicious enough to only eat my own food. Cultists tried to take us, I resisted long enough for my band to escape. Most of us anyways," she sighs, her claws clicking against the table a bit as she recalls the fight, "But one woman against a horny mob. You don't have to be from Anudor to know what happens next. So rather than playing the victim and getting raped by an entire mob, I tackled the biggest and strongest looking cultist there and claimed him instead. Turns out, that was Krill. The cultists accepted me into their ranks pretty easily. Enough that I didn't have to go through the brain wringer."
Her tails swishes and her wings stretch for a moment as she gestures to them. "I got these as a side effect, I guess. But I stayed under our illustrious leader's radar well enough. Going on long hunts and patrol helps with that. And eventually, I guess, some of the people grew on me," she nods over to David, "Case and point. Besides, It's not like I can go anywhere. My teleportation only brings me to where I've been before. And my choices are Badaria, or Anudor. Not very inspiring choices for a lone Su-Ku-Ta."
Taking a deep breath, Tasha closes her eyes for a moment, "There's also one other thing. It would be unwise of me to show you, right now, but I'm also a werewolf. I'm a bit dangerous to keep around in normal civilizations. If I take a beating, or gods forbid someone tries to enchant me, then everyone around has to deal with a pissed off animal spirit."
