Background:
Past the western mountains, beyond the great sea, lies the kingdom of Aetera. A land known for it's silver, coal, and saltpeter mines, and a horrible curse. The sun never rises in Aetera, a curse set upon the kingdom after the third Great Witch Hunt in the second era (1600 years ago). After recuperating from devastating losses, a new threat arose with the eternal moon; the beast-blood. Werebeasts of all sorts began swarming Aetera, which was only able to defend itself due to a blessing from the Gods, an abundance of extremely pure silver. With swords and arrows of blessed silver, Aeterna found it's place in the world; beast hunters. As the years passed, tools designed to hunt werebeasts became more advanced. In the fourth era (800 years ago), Queen Exella and her Grand Alchemic Society found Aetera's second secret; saltpeter. The mineral was quickly purposed into black powder, and simple fuse-based firearms quickly replaced the simple bow, small silver bullets replaced arrows. In the fifth era (400 years ago), the Imperial Hunters Legion was formed. Under the command of King Garrus, son of Queen Exella (who was slain in an attempted coup), the Imperial Hunters Legion began expeditions to eradicate werebeasts from all known lands.
After the fall of the Wolf Queen, in the fourth era, a second curse was set upon Aetera, the curse of beast-blood. All Aeterans born after the Wolf Queen's death were doomed to turn into the very thing Aeterans hated, werebeasts. If left unfettered, beast-blood causes the afflicted to transform into a bestial form, sending them into a bloodlust unknown to even the most bloodied warrior. The Grand Alchemic Society quickly developed a sort of temporary cure to the beast-blood, but its effect is usually negated by extended periods of rage.
Rayleonarde is such one Hunter, sent by King Garrus to probe the presence of werebeasts in this country. He is the thirdborn child of the Blackburn family, whose matriarch, Julia, was a well renown veteran of the Wolf Queen War. Her beast-blood curse was especially brutal. Ronald, the first Blackburn son, was put to death at a young age due to his problems with controlling his temper. Rayleonarde, who has a similar issue, carries both the beast-blood cure and calming agents to keep him level headed.
Other: Ray's proclivity to find trouble is legendary, his prowess in combat is almost equal. He carries with him a silver triangular-bladed sword and a newly developed multi-barreled pistol (pepperbox) as his hunting weapons.
((Sorry for the long sheet, but I figured I'd get the history of Ray's home in before I forgot it. If there's anything needing cleared up, just let me know.))
