Wynnipher Winchester is a Summer Eladrin Monster Slayer ranger whose village in the Feywild was destroyed by demons and is now in Pteris to help remove the demons that threaten the continent.
Physical Appearance[edit | edit source]
Wynnipher is a tall Summer Eladrin who stands at 7' 1" with a lithe build. She has wavy bleach blonde that is partially braided and goes down to her mid back. Her skin is of a sandy hue from] long stretches of time spent out in the deserts of both the Feywild and Pteris. Her attire is compatible with a desert climate, consisting mainly of lightweight and/or flowing materials in earth tones. Notably, she is never seen without her ring, inscribed with the designs of the Demonic Abomination Neutralizers Guild (also known as DANG).
Personality[edit | edit source]
Wynnipher has an aggressive and gruff nature when interacting with "normal" people. But once she hears about something related to demons and fiends, she becomes focused on figuring out how to eliminate the threat by whatever means necessary. She does not hold many around her in high regards unless they are direct superiors that have proven themselves capable of doing what is necessary to rid the world of demons and other such abominations.
Even though she looks down on most, she still has a soft spot in her heart for those in times of need and will help if able for she was once in that very situation when her mentor picked her up off the ground and took her in.
History[edit | edit source]
The Village:[edit | edit source]
Wynnipher was a bright child growing up. She found endless things that would fascinate and entertain her in the Feywild where she grew up. Her parents were pretty loose with her allowing her to roam outside of the village due to the immediate surroundings of the village being safe with the matriarch of the village having a pact with the local oasis queen. Wynnipher only had to promise to behave, be respectful towards anyone and anything she were to come across, and never venture too far away from the village whenever she wanted to venture outside of the village. Wynnipher always respected those three rules of her parents as she loved her parents too much to do anything that would upset them. She would go out often due to this and play with the local water spirits of the oasis along with some other kids from her village.
As she grew up, she learned more about the Feywild that she grew up in and how it closely mirrored the material plane geographically and that there were portals that allowed members of either plane to travel to another. That is when she was told another absolute rule by her parents, which was to never travel to the material plane as it is a place that is not as nice as the village in the Feywild and the people there are not as nice as the people of the village and the ruling members of the Oasis that they were in alliance with. She would also come to learn more about their village and their relationship with the local Oasis. Even as she grew up, and began to learn many new things regarding where she grew up, she continued to venture outside of the village, as she found it truly freeing to be able to run out and experience the Feywild desert. She would surf the sand waves of the Yellow Ocean of liquid sand. She would gaze into the towering crystal pillars of the nearby Crystal Plane where all of the sand had been turned into glass and crystal due to the intense heat in the area. She would run into the Endless Desert where the sand would actively work against your movement making it difficult to move from the edges.
Wynnipher one day decided to visit said endless desert as she was feeling a bit pent up doing her chores around the village and her parents were starting to nag at her to not go out as often due to her getting more responsibilities. And on this day, she decided to run and run at the edge of the Endless Desert, going nowhere, till her legs gave out on her and she collapsed onto the sand. She laid there that day, on the shores of the Endless Desert staring into the sky of the Feywild wondering about what was on the other shore of the Endless Desert as she had only ever been on this one. After laying down on the shore for a bit, she decided that she should probably head back to the village and resume her chores. However, she would never complete those chores...
The Scream:[edit | edit source]
As she was getting back into the village and letting her parents know that she was back and that she would pick up her chores where she left them, there was an alarm that started going off from the center of the village. Wynnipher was only ever told about this alarm, she had never seen or heard it be used before which caused her to stumble over her own feet and fall to the ground. And right as she was getting up, she heard another new sound that she hadn't heard before today, screams. Not the screams of kids playing and having fun, but screams of terror and pain. She glanced at where the scream originated from and saw a towering demon with red skin that caused her to feel heat from just looking at it and blazing red eyes that caused one to feel dread if looked into for too long. The demon was holding a spear that was taller than its body, and on that spear was the head of the matriarch, removed from her body and still dripping blood down the shaft of the spear. The matriarchs face still holding a look of terror from when it was savagely ripped from her body. The demon then lifted the spear and screamed in a language that Wynnipher did not understand, but she could feel her body shiver in the heat of the desert as the grating sounds coming from the demons mouth rattled in through her ears and tore through her mind. And after the scratching sound coming from the demon ended, she could see a multitude of other demons sweeping out from behind the one that killed the matriarch, for the new demons were rushing towards the other nearby villagers. Seeing this, Wynnipher panicked and felt like she was back at the Endless Desert, wanting to move but having the sand keep her from moving from her spot. She wanted to run back to her parents and make sure that they are okay. Before she was able to get up from her spot, she felt something grab the back of her shirt firmly and aggressively pull her back from her current spot. She looked to see what had grabbed her, and found her father standing there with a worried look in his eyes, he seemed to be saying something to her, but she couldn't hear him, the demons language and the sight of the matriarchs head on the spear were still running circles around her mind.
Her father seeing that Wynnipher wasn't responding to his calls, then decides to pick her up and throw her over his shoulder as he then turns to run toward their house. As Wynnipher gets picked up and thrown over her dads shoulder, she finds that her mind snaps back to the present and starts to yell at her dad wondering what is going on, where her mom is, and where he is taking her. Her dad, continues to run trough the village turning through gaps between houses while trying to answer Wynniphers question that come out at the rate of an Arch Mages magic missile. He lets her know that he doesn't know what is going on other than the alarm means that the village is under attack and that the attackers appear to be demons followed by letting her know that her mom is at the house preparing a bag for her so that she can get out of the village along with some other kids and some of the elders that are unable to fight, and that they are running to the house to meet up with her mom before getting Wynnipher out of the village. Wynniphers dad turns a final corner and runs up to the house, using Wynniphers feet to knock open the door and screams into the house asking where Wynniphers mom is. They then hear Wynniphers mom call back that she was in the main bedroom getting everything together and that shell be out in a second. That second feels like an eternity not only to Wynnipher, but to her dad as well.
After her moms joins her and her dad in the main room of the house, she shoves a overpacked backpack into Wynniphers arms and tells her to put it on before handing her father a bow and quiver full of arrows along with a shortsword. Wynnipher questions what is in the bag and why its so heavy and her mom quickly answers that it has food and water for several days worth of travel, clothes, a rolled up tent, other miscellaneous gear, and most importantly, a shortsword that she is not to get out unless necessary and to only use it in self defense. It is at that point that she looks back to her mom realizes that she is currently half-plate armor and has a large sword strapped to her back. Her mom then explains that the plan in this situation is that a small group of adults is to lead the kids and elders out of the village and head toward the Endless Desert and then use the secret method to briefly reverse the sand movement for the group before reverting it to prevent any enemies of the village to follow before returning if possible to the village to help defeat the demon invasion.
And as her mom said, the plan that was made in case of scenarios like this started to come into effect. At the border of the village, there was a gathering of kids and elderly along with some armed adults. Wynnipher was forced to join the group by her parents. Her parents briefly stayed with her while telling her to listen to the adults in the group and follow their orders. Wynnipher at this point was back in a state of shock as her village had large plumes of smoke rising from it due to the damage caused by the demon attack. There were also sounds of fighting going on inside the village along with the occasional scream of pain. Her parents noticing this, tried to calm her down saying things along the line of "its going to be okay...", "we will send the demons back before coming to get you..." and most importantly "We love you Wynn." while giving her hugs and kissing her head. After a little bit longer, the adults decided that it was best to send the group away before the demons get to this side of town. And so with that, Wynniphers parents say a tearful goodbye / see you later before looking at each other, nodding, and turning back towards the village where they would go and help fight off the demons. Wynnipher, still distraught by what was happening, stared at her parents backs as they ran back to town that was on fire and engulfed in smoke, quietly telling them to come back and stay with her. A lot of the kids around her were screaming, crying, or in various states of shock/panic just like her while the elders and adults in the group worked to get the kids moving towards the Endless Desert.
The Escape:[edit | edit source]
The escape group led by two adults from the village was able to lead the group of elders and kids to the Endless Desert where Wynnipher was not 4 hours ago. One of them then pulled out a token that appeared to be made of solid water, but not ice, that was given to the matriarch from the Oasis. They then pressed a floating rune on the solid water that caused it to fall out of its structure and onto the shore of the Endless Ocean before forming up into a large disc of water that stabilized the sand. This would allow them to actually traverse the Endless Ocean as long as they stayed in the area affected by the water. With that, everybody in the group got into the area affected by the water and the adult that had control over the water commanded it to move forward along with the group. Wynnipher absentmindedly trudged along with the group while staring down at her feet, not realizing that she was actually traveling through the Endless Desert. She did this until she bumped into the person in front of her which caused her to fall onto her butt due to the weight of the backpack that she still had with her. She looked up to see an adult standing there and looking towards the direction of the village. Following their line of sight, Wynnipher looks in the direction of the village as well and what she sees terrifies her, for what she saw will live in her mind forever. She saw the landscape of the desert being changed before her eyes as a large ball of fire grew on the horizon, climbing higher into the sky until it billowed out forming a massive cloud of sand and smoke in the shape of a mushroom. Seeing this, tears would have continued rolling down her face if she was able to cry anymore, but she was out of tears at the moment.
rough ideas: gets to center of Endless Desert, portal to material plane, portal closes after group goes through, group starts wandering, group gets abducted by slavers, slaver caravan gets attacked by members of DANG, with nothing else to her name Wynnipher joins DANG, learns how to hunt demons and those that work with demons and other such abominations, years go by, after a while she gets sent to Arboretum after DANG hears about demon things happening.
