Full Name: Buppi Fallenleaf Age: 20 Class(es): Cleric Race: Halfling
Subrace: GhostwiseHalfling Alignment: Neutral Good Deity: Lucinda
Domains: Healing – Trickery Short Bio / Description:
Buppi was an orphan living in the back streets of a major city. As a young girl she had been raised in an orphanage funded by the temple of Toran. But as soon as she could she ran away escaping from those stuffy old clerics and their confining rules. She wandered the back streets falling in with the wrong sort of people and eventually getting a name for herself as a pretty good house breaker. One day she attempted to enter the home of a local businessman not knowing her intended victim was in fact a sorcerer. On she entering his home she found herself under attack from the sorcerers familiar; an rather irate little imp. At first she managed to avoid his attack but as she turned to make her escape she felt one of the imps horns tear the skin of her arm and a terrible freezing pain rushed through her as its poison entered her veins. She collapsed to the ground and the last thing she heard before darkness took her where the sound of boots running towards her on the tiled floor. When she awoke she found herself in a soft bed, in a simple but comfortable room. She sat up and noticed the businessman sitting in a chair near the bed watching her calmly. Shocked she tried to get up and run and but finding herself too weak to stand, she fell heavily to the floor. The man she had attempted to rob got up and gently helped her back into bed where she lay fearfully watching him. He introduced himself as a retired sorcerer adventurer and he apologised greatly for killing her. Yes he told her that was right his imp had actually killed her two days ago but he had brought her here to the temple of Lucinda his patron deity, for healing and resurrection. Unfortunately he didn’t have enough money to pay for her treatment and so had sold her into indentured service to the temple for ten years in exchange for her life. She was horrified, to be told she’d died, been resurrected and then sold into slavery for ten whole years was too much, and the first thing that came into her head was the thought of escape. It must have shown on her face though because the sorcerer then told her that a geas had been placed upon her and she would not be able to leave the temple compound until her indentured service was over. She was devastated and started to cry at which the man made a gesture, said some strange words and she and fell into a shallow restless sleep.
As the sorcerer had told her she spent the next ten years within the temple and at first she found it unbearable but eventually she started to settle into the daily routine and the place slowly became her home. She settled in so well in fact that she eventually became a cleric of Lucinda herself although she could never entirely free herself from the rogish element of her personality that had inadvertantly brought her here in the first place.
Then when her ten years where up she decided to leave the temple for a time and look for some adventure and experience of the world. One night when she was asleep she dreamt of a dragon and when she awoke....
