Meris Bloodtanner

"We live in a tough realm. So we must be tough ourselves."

0 · 254 views · located in Erensea

a character in “Land of Dragoons”, as played by Aniihya

Description

Age: 25
Gender: Female
Appearance: Image
Clothing: Meris wears a knee length brown lace up dress with a bear pelt cape and dark brown boots.
Jewelry: She wears a black leather collar and a bronze choker as well as a leather armband on each upper arm.
Occupation: Leatherworker/Trapper
Makeshift weapon: A spear
Special attribute: Strength
Combat interests: Heavy weapons, strength and toughness enhancing magic, heavy armor
Personality: Meris is slightly tomboyish while at the same time also a rather feminine character on the other side. She believes the weak can be trained to protect themselves to make them a valuable part of the group. While most women her age woman faint at the sight of blood, it is something rather normal for her as she does hunt wolves and bears for a living. The only thing she really fears is losing others and being alone and lost.
Alignment: In combat, Meris can lose control rather quickly yet still knowing friend and foe. It becomes more of bloodlust with an evil smile for her. She would also tend to be not so merciful on her enemies. She isn't squeamish.
Bachground: Meris was born to a trapper and a gatherer. She was the eldest daughter and was raised both like a woman and a man. Her father showed her strength and toughness as well as his profession while her mother taught her how to cook and make clothing. She doesn't like to be looked at just as a woman but rather as a protector and an amazon. She values strength as well as hospitality. She left her family as soon as she was old enough to care for herself and joined up with the vagabonds at Ixqal. Meris occasionally helps out the lumberjacks when one is injured or otherwise unable to do his work. She finds dragons to be magnificent creatures.

So begins...

Meris Bloodtanner's Story

Kaida heard the shouting from the main part of the camp, and jumped into position. She slowly crept out towards the intruders, grabbing her dagger, hoping that she wouldn't need it. Slowly, she crept by the forge, and darted in the trees, not bothering to check to see if anybody needed helped. She padded slowly through the forest, her feet barely making a sound. She watched everybody climbing and preparing to fight, and snuck through to watch the invaders. She had barely moved an inch before she was giving her attention to the girl climbing the main tower. She crept over towards there, and started asking about what was going on.

"Well sh- that's not good," Kaida said, catching herself halfway through the curse. Anything I can do to help? I know these woods pretty well, I might be able to send them in the wrong direction," Kaida replied to Meris, hoping that she could actually do something useful for once. All I do is harvest food, I could help. I think, Kaida thought, self-doubt creeping in. She didn't want anybody to die because of her, herself included.

Mentally shaking her head, dispelling her fears, Kaida told herself that she would do great. She knew these woods like the back of hand, and she could easily lead the king's army in the wrong direction just by snapping twigs and shouting gibberish. Her skills were more than mediocre, and, despite not having experience (or basic skills) with fighting, she could evade the idiotic soldiers. Probably.

Kaida nodded, knowing full well the risks of doing something like that. She ran off into the forest, weaving her way between trees and skipping over anything that could give her away. Her best chance was to lead them away from the camp and back towards their kingdom, which would require sneaking past an entire army without giving herself away. Well that's just dandy, Kaida thought to herself, Not only have to I have to avoid being shot by an arrow, but I now have to avoid an entire army. Regardless, she crept forward, only to hear strict orders being shouted at soldiers. Mentally cursing, she skirted out more, remaining hidden almost the entire time. When the talking had almost completely faded away, she breathed a sigh of relief, before taking a step and hearing a crunch, that ricocheted throughout the forest. The chatter ceased, and shouting began.

Kaida began to run, and, seeing arrows whiz by her head, started running in a jagged pattern. Realizing that she could possibly use this to her benefit, she started taking them in circles, confusing at least a few of the soldiers' sense of direction. She began to lead them back towards the kingdom they came from, before she heard an arrow come flying towards her. She turned, preparing to duck, and, after seeing the arrow two feet from her and only increasing speed, dropped to the ground, mostly avoiding the arrow.

She scrambled back up, her breathing now coming out in pants, and looked down at her shoulder, only to see blood gushing out of the wound at a steady rate. Now cursing out loud, she began to retrace her steps, trying to be quiet rather than fast at this point, attempting to get back to camp with the army still lost in the forest with their kingdom, and freedom, just out of sight. She was really panting now, and stumbling with every step. She wasn't going to make it back to camp. Instead, she found the tallest, thickest tree that she could and began to climb it, pain coursing through her with every movement. When she reached the first branch, she pulled herself up, barely hanging on. She laid back against the tree and began to examine herself. She had a lot of bruises, her head was bleeding and starting to form a bump, and her arm had a long scar that she must've gotten after the arrow.

Gasping with pain, Kaida let herself drift to sleep, hoping that she wouldn't be found by the army and that Meris would realize that she was missing once the battle was over.

Soron poked his head out of the little spot that he had been hiding in. Everything around him was far too calm, and he saw Meris leaving with a strange man. To Soron, this meant that any threat was likely over, and they had gone off to try and find missing persons. At least, that is what Soron thought be happening. They were gone before he had even gotten out of his hiding place.

Soron looked around after he had gotten out of his little hiding place. It seemed as though the invaders had barely even gotten inside the wall before something drove them out. He found this rather curious, and would have to ask if anyone comes to his shop.

Kaida blinked her eyes a few times, trying to shake off the soreness in her shoulders. Snuggling into the rug beneath her, she thought about how comfortable the tree had gotten. With eyes now wide open, Kaida looked around and saw the vagabonds near her, tending to her injuries. Instinctively, she reached for her shoulder, hissing with pain with just a tap on the now-bandaged wound.

Looking up, Kaida saw Meris nearby, calling out, Kaida felt her voice crack. Rubbing her throat, she quietly asked one of the vagabonds to get Meris's attention for her. She closed her eyes, glad that she had survived, but trying not to scream in pain. Next time, Kaida promised herself, I won't almost get myself killed. Probably. Opening her eyes, she groaned quietly, burying herself deeper in the fur rug.

Drifting away from consciousness again, Kaida wondered how Meris had gotten her back to camp, or even out of the tree. It was a pretty long trek, and Kaida wasn't exactly a twig. She wasn't fat by any means, as little food will do that to a person, but she wasn't skinny by any means, either. Struggling to stay awake so that she could talk to Meris, Kaida forced her eyes open.
