Artemis

Ian: Artemis Antarion, Human Ranger

Name and homeland

Artemis Antarion doesn't really view himself as having a home, he is surprisingly self-sufficient and possess the skills to survive in the deepest underground caves, the most desolate of deserts and the most remote of forests. He has found himself spending more time in the city though, as he becomes embroiled in the downfall of the Teiflings.

A sentence or two about where you are from

Artemis spent his early years with his tribe wondering the vastness of the desert. They view the desert as a harsh mistress and a mysterious place of strange beasts, spirits on the wind and the mysterious Kireshi. He became a scout for his tribe, tasked with wondering the desert in small groups navigating the dune sea. All went well until forces beholden to the Teifling's in the city raided his tribe when they came close to the city, killing most of them (including his father) and taking some of the women prisoner (including his mother).

It took two years before Artemis could free he his mother, but by that point she was a broken woman due to the vile acts of the Teiflings and she had given birth to a Teifling child: Kallista Antarion. His mother now resides in The Shrouded Oasis, the darkly bueatiful sanctum of the Kireshi. He has recently spent most of his time as a bounty and treasure hunter for various individuals (The Grub) and organisations (The Order of Transcendental Inquiry), as part of his goal to destroy the Teiflings.

A brief physical description

Artemis wears browns, dark greens and blacks varying the colour depending on his environment at the time, merging into the environment should always be a possibility. His clothes always have a weather-beaten and worn in look, indeed this seems to happen to anything he wears. He always looks like he shaved yesterday, and his hair looks weather-beaten due to the ever-present wind or sun in the desert.

A few keywords which describe you

Dogged. Persistant. Perceptive. Older and wiser than his years. Attractive in a weathered sort of way.

Which people are important to you

Artemis has grown up among some of the most self-reliant humans alive, in one of the harshest environments alive, and this has given him a very humanist approach to life - he believes his people should bow to no others, and have the potential for greatness. He will take him arms against anyone who gets in the way of that. His main relationships are a complex triangle between Akaran Trak'ar (Kallista's Father), Kallista Antarion (Half-Sister) and his mother (and Kallista's).
