OPEN SIGNUPS Pathfinder: Once Upon a Time in the Mana Wastes

[Lesbingus]

Wynona Carrigan Must Die.
​

If there was ever something to bring the disparate peoples of the Grand Duchy of Alkenstar together, it's these four words. After pulling off a daring heist, Carrigan made off with some of the most precious artefacts in the Mana Wastes, and made a mess of the place on her way out.

The Grand Duchess is in full wroth. The King of Dongun Hold much the same; and they've put out one hell of a bounty-- but this isn't a just for just anyone. It takes a particular kind of crazy to trek out into the Mana Wastes on a manhunt. A certain sort of grit to face down the infamous Wynona Carrigan. But, as it turns out, you've got both.

Gathered together by the enigmatic Finnigan, you're part of the posse assembled to bring Wynona to justice. It doesn't matter where you're from, who you serve, or how you came to know Wynona. All that matters is that you want her head just as much as they people paying you.

Welcome to "Once Upon a Time in the Mana Wastes..."!

This is an RP set in the world of Pathfinder! No prior knowledge of the setting is required, but I'd highly recommend doing some reading on this particular region that our characters find themselves in! Think of it was the Wild West, in a desert beset on one side by an endless legion of the undead, and magical constructs and flesh-forged abominations on the other. Caught in the middle of this, the magical has swirled into maelstroms of unpredictable effect. The land is beset by sandstorms that can skin a man to the bone in a second, typhoons of acid rain and all-together more strange and terrifying anomalies. The land is so rich with magic that its effects on a caster are unpredictable, and often dangerous, and some places have become so oversaturated that magic fails entirely.

The thing that brings you all together is a collective desire to hunt down a woman by the name of Wynona Carrigan. Maybe you ran afoul of her and got robbed, maybe she killed someone you loved, or maybe you're just in it for the money. Regardless, you've been collected by a mysterious woman named Finnigan, and you're funded by both the Grand Duchy of Alkenstar, and the Dwarven Hold of Dongun. You've got the limitless funding of angry aristocrats at your back, and the drive to get yourself some revenge to push you forward.

Let's just hope you're mean enough that the Mana Wastes don't chew you up and spit you back out!

"Sure as shit, Wynona killed her dead, I tell you. But Finnigan? You think that'd stop her? The girl's so tough and so mean, Hell itself spat her right back out."

​

Name: "Finnigan."
Age: At least 30. Probably older.

Gender: Female.

Affiliation: Finnigan runs solo, but it ain't no secret she used to run with Wynona.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.

Class: Gunslinger / Witch.

Appearance: An elegant woman with fair skin, tinged with a shade of purple, Finnigan looks like she belongs in a courtroom rather in the dusty Mana Wastes; yet that's where she prefers to be. Her dark brown hair is worn long and unadorned, her eerie purple eyes alive with malignant magic. With her horns, tail and cloven hooves, the woman is more Devil than human-- and she leans into that. The people of the Mana Wastes are a superstitious sort, and rightly fear things they don't understand.

If it wasn't obvious, the woman's a tiefling. A Hellspawn, the progeny of a Devil. Exactly what Devil, she won't say, but there's... something about her. Whoever her hellish sire is, it isn't just any old devil.

Personality: Flippant. Brash. Hedonistic. All of these have been used to describe Finnigan, and all of them are correct. She's a woman who lives by the day, doing as she pleases when she pleases. But one thing that she has never been labelled is dishonourable. She takes her business seriously, just as much as her pleasure. When Finnigan commits to a job, she gets it done.

And when someone betrays her, she stops at nothing to get her revenge.

Finnigan is loyal to those she trusts. Gentle to those she loves. And a nightmare to those who have made an enemy of her.

History: Once, Finnigan led the most notorious gang in Alkenstar. Respected and feared in equal measure. She and her gang did not back down from any job, and they got things done. They found themselves hired by just about everyone, simply by the merit of what they got done. Hell, even the Grand Duchy hired her, even if she did have a habit of robbing them.

Then, she died. Killed by Wynona Carrigan.

Not that something as simple as death would keep Finnigan down. Sure enough, after they put a bullet in her head and a couple dozen more into her body for good measure, she got back up the next day. She got back up with some new guns, some new scars, and a list.

Now, she's under the coin of Alkenstar. She's putting together a team. She's gonna hunt down that bitch Wynona, and get her revenge.
