Gothica is a grimdark fantasy setting where the weak don't last and the strong struggle to survive.


Author's Note: Gothica is the world to use if you wish to play dark and gritty adventures in a setting of hopeless despair. It's a world where the fate of civilization hangs in the balance. Will you try and be a beacon of light in the darkness, or further condemn the realm to chaos. W.I.P. More locations, NPCS, and monsters coming soon!

appearance
Argyle is a 6' 2" human male of middle age. He has rugged features and an almost primal savage quality. His hair is salt and pepper with more grey in his beard. He wears leather and fur and smells of musk and ale. He often carries around a woodsman's axe and/or a hunting bow and knife.
personality
When he is sober he is a quiet and introspective man. He bears a heavy burden due to the curse of lycanthropy. Argyle often feels hopeless and alone. He drinks to cope and deal with his despair. When he is drunk his personality changes. He becomes loud and outgoing telling grand tales of his adventures in the forest. Some times at night he gets a wild gleam in his eyes and seems almost feverish. He wants to be a good man but deep down he knows he is a monster. At the end of the night we are all just animals doing what ever it takes to survive.
backstory
Argyle is a lumberjack and hunter by trade. He made the mistake of wondering into the forest drunk one night. He was attacked by vargs and inflicted with lycanthropy. He speaks of the attack when he is drunk but don't remember much. He keeps his curse a secret and on full moon nights he leaves the village and heads off into the forest. His condition has taken a toll on him and now he spends most of his time at Bark at the Moon drinking. He is the village drunk and most people don't pay much attention to his ramblings. He tries to avoid Janessa Hallowtree for obvious reasons.
