Rune

Rune is a character I've had a general concept in the back burner for about 4 years 🤔 She only more recently got a name and I used to just refer to her as "Bow Lady" because her original concept was centered around a cursed bow that had shot her, but later the idea was scrapped for a cursed sword that had stabbed her, and she was temporarily redubbed "Sword Lady" until I thought of something name-like to call her.

Rune isn't meant to be her "real" name, rather just a placeholder she uses for people to refer to her. Being a reborn, she does not remember her past nor her name. I was originally going to have her call herself something like "Ghost" or "Shade" to kind of reference how she's a sort of ghost of her former self due to memory-loss, but it ended up being a bit too similar to another DND player's character so I went with a different one. Rune is meant to reference the many runes on the cursed sword. It's not a perfect placeholder name lmao.

Biography

Early Years

Rune was originally drafted into the military at a young age (I'm gonna say visually and mentally she's about 19). She had ended up killed in combat via the cursed sword, presumably by the enemy force, before waking up buried alive in someone's basement an unknown number of years later. Certainly long enough that her current knowledge of how the world works and its terrain has now been outdated and is no longer relevant.

Very shortly after waking up, she realized she had ended up in the basement of a married couple of 2 duergars (underdark dwarves) who then took her in a sort of adoptive parental relationship. They helped update her knowledge of the world before she left (as of right now I'm not sure the reason) and met the rest of the campaign's party members. (I had joined the campaign using Rune after the campaign had already started)

Notes

• *At the time of her death she was around 19, so mentally she is still the same, but her true age is unknown at this point. It is assumed to be at least 100, if not more.
• She has a strong build from the military, with many scars acquired over time. A bit of a brick shithouse, but not overly bulky.
• Post-death, she acquired a bit of whiteness to her hair.
• At times she has an unnatural purplish tint to her pupils due to the cursed sword.
