becoming the hunter

Aditsan was born to poor parents in a small village. What little income the family had came from his parents knowledge of the woods surrounding them. His mother, Aiyana, would collect herbs and fungi from the forest and his father, Chaska, was an expert hunter. Between the two of them, this provided enough to get by.

The couple took turns caring for Aditsan, so he spent his childhood wandering the woods instead of playing with other children. As such, he generally relates better to animals than people. Aditsan is short and thin with a pinched rat like face, yet is incredibly strong despite his outward appearance. After reaching adulthood, he decided to move to the city to experience more of the world. He quickly found that he was able to monetize his knowledge of the woods and has started to build a reputation for tracking and capturing fugitives. Now know by his clients as The Hunter, he enjoys that he gets to spend most of his life out in the woods while making enough money to support his parents back in the village.

When The Hunter is working in the woods, he can always be found with Fang, the Catahoula Leopard Dog that he found as a pup and trained to help him track. Fang knows how to look mean when necessary, but is really a gentle dog who just loves to work. He also is usually found with his horse, Nevarra. He doesn’t ride her often as he tracks better on foot, but she walks behind carrying his equipment and frequently an injured fugitive.

Aditsan is highly skilled with a long sword, however he does not often use it against the fugitives he hunts because they are often required to be returned alive. For that reason, he often uses his extraordinary strength to grapple an opponent into submission before clamping them into the mancles he always carries in his belt pouch.
