Fantasy NPC
Alycia Martell
Half-Elf Ranger
“Damn, they're persistent! But I doubt they’ll be expecting this!”
Appearance: Short and slightly built, this young half-elf looks like a teenager at first glance. Her dark auburn hair is cut short, just below her pointed ears. Scrunching up her round face in concentration, her clear blue eyes stare off into the distance, a small brown weasel curled up contentedly in her lap.
​
Personality: In the civilized world, Alycia Martell is usually withdrawn and can be difficult to know. The forest, however, is a different story. There, she is confident, almost arrogant, but always in control, relying on her talents to effortlessly dance through dangerous situations she’d never attempt elsewhere.
​
Motivation: The city is nasty and brutish, but the forest makes everything better. In the forest, there is life and calm. In the trees, I can be free.
​
Roleplaying Tips: When not ranging outdoors, Alycia rarely makes eye contact, and doesn’t speak unless spoken to. In the wilds, she is outgoing and expressive, clearly enjoying every moment spent in the verdant land.
​
Background: Orphaned, and raised by the human Symon Vasilisk, Alycia Martell and her twin brother grew up romanticizing the adventuring life of their mercenary parents. Against Symon’s wishes, Alycia would sneak away to spend time walking the local forests and hills alone, and quickly gained respect as a gifted tracker and survivalist.
​
Traits: Adventurer, Agile, Cunning, Divine, Good, Intelligent, and Mercenary
​
Dark Secret: Through her own investigations, Alycia has discovered that Symon may have been partly to blame for her parents' deaths, and is secretly trying to unearth the entire truth.
Plot Hooks
-
One of Alycia’s few friends has gone missing for two months. The druid’s disappeared before, but never for this long, and Alycia is worried. Her small forest home was burned, and most everything destroyed in the fire. What wasn’t was a small note with your signature, and Alycia is already looking for you to find out what you may know.
-
There’s a mysterious creature that’s been stalking the forest at night, and it’s a formidable predator. Its tracks suggest something rather unnatural. Alycia needs another accomplished tracker who’s willing to hunt the beast and force it to stop killing the animals that cross its path.
-
Symon says you’re only as strong as your weakness, and Alycia’s been listening. Nature she knows, but to her, other people are still frustrating enigmas. She knows she’s no bard, but she wants a teacher to improve her social confidence, even a little. After all, knowledge is power.
