Character Bio:

Childhood: As she was abandoned at birth, local farmers gave her to the House of Phaedron, a cult that lived on the outskirts of town in the mountains, known simply as "The Sisters", that took in orphans or runaway children. Growing up she was recognised for her natural athletism, and her more hidden behaviours of thievery, tricks and spying on other children, thus she was given the name Nemesis - "the inescapable agent of someone's downfall". She was taught by the monks to become a sister of their cult, to become a true follower of Phaedron, to kill those that the god Phaedron demanded must pay blood for their misdeeds and treachery.

Her training regime was near treacherous in order to remove any form of weakness, with several children dying throughout the course of Nemesis's youth. She was trained to survive unforgivable conditions in the mountains, having to spend months at a time alone in the wilderness with nothing but a blunt knife. Aside from this, Nemesis was trained in the art of torture, both how to apply it and how to resist it. She grew up bitter as a result of her training, earning many scars, and learning that emotion and attachment are weaknesses she could not afford - having witnessed her only friend killed due to an arrow through the head for failing to master the longbow.

Reasons for moving to Elpida: Upon discovering "The Sisters" were slaughtering small villages and sacrificing children - eating their raw hearts and intestines - Nemesis slaughtered the entire cult by poisoning them with the very hearts they were eating. She then proceeded to stake their corpses upon the village fences, as they once did to children who failed their training. Upon leaving the village she burned the place to rubble, as there were no longer any inhabitants left - eating the heart of her old mentor Falice - earning her the name and reputation of "Blood Hound", this being the first well-known crime of her career as an assassin.

With the news of her betrayal to the House of Phaedron, other cults of Phaedron began posting bounties for Nemesis's head, making her homeland no longer a safe place to reside as assassination attempts were frequent and the bodies were piling up. She retreated to Elpida, as it was the furthest known continent from her homeland.

Travels: As the journey west from her homeland crossed paths with various other continents, Nemesis acquired various skills; such as horseback riding from nomadic tribes, with her learning how to stand and shoot arrows from upon a moving horse. She also earned money from working upon the ships she sailed on as a crew hand, helping her to raise enough money to buy a decent bar upon arriving in Elpida. As a result of this, Nemesis has become very familiar with local sailors and merchants, and can often buy wares at a cheaper price. However, because owning a bar does not come at a cheap price, Nemesis continues as a bounty hunter/assassin, working for whoever pays her the largest sum of money.
