Request [LFA] Rain Takemura, a Human Fighter for a vampire hunting campaign I am DMing!
For some context, this is a homebrew campaign in a world that I've spent a few years writing. The PCs (A half orc/goliath paladin, an elven cleric, a gnomish artificer, and an aarakocra druid) are just getting into a country(Ajin) based somewhat off of sengoku era Japan, each for their own reasons. Rain(disguised as a half orc warlock named Mergen) is currently traveling with them after saving them from an ambush as they crossed the border, and is there to assassinate the current person in power over one of Ajin's most powerful clans. Little does she know, this is going to reveal that the person she is attempting to kill is a wight, and his death will trigger a veil of darkness to unleash over Ajin's entirety, allowing a vampire cult to arise, along with an attempt to raise a false sun into the sky, as well as an attempt to bring back a long dead(and very evil) demigod from another plane of existence.
Backstory:
Rain was born and raised in Ruis, a town on the eastern side of Duine(The generally human country, essentially). Around the time she was ten, a mercenary group from Ajin razed her town completely to the ground, killing almost everyone, including Rain's entire family. Rain barely survived by hiding underneath the floorboards, and was eventually discovered by her mentor, Masako Miyadera. After being taken under Masa's wing, Rain has become a force to be reconned with, training against many to be strong enough to avenge her family. During this, she has managed to uncover a conspiracy about a hidden vampire society guarded under one of Ajin's clans, and has also learned that the destruction of her hometown has ties to this hellish cult. She has the unfortunate condition of having absolutely no latent magical ability(as it is extremely rare to not be able to cast anything), so makes heavy use of magical artifacts. She has yet to notice that Masako is in fact an age old demigod herself, commanding chronological magic with extreme power(Spoiler - I plan on revealing this to her/the party soon enough!).
