Chi (chi0san)

Summary

A woman of little known origin who stumbled upon the land of Paradise. She quickly gained the trust of the towns people and settled into a peaceful lifestyle. This woman with remarkable skills of brewing and building opened her own bar with a friend in two towns one a ghost town the other busy city. Though she is a bit weary of the towns people and hardly talks to anyone outside the military leader who welcomed her and her spouse shockingly who is his "sleep paralyses demon" soon though she hopes to learn more about those towns and herself.

Origin

She seldom talks about where she came from and how she wondered into the land where she now resides. But if asked Chi will tell you this.

"I am unsure of where I was born but I do remember a seemingly magical place. All light was snuffed when I came too not a shred of light I couldn't tell if my eyes were even opened or closed without touching my face. Stumbling through the darkness eventually I did happen to come across a single blue flame. The flame like wisps guided me through a near labyrinth of stairs and halls. Prevented me from falling to my death many time through the journey in fact. I figured one adventure was enough for me so I started wondering. Lucky for me a town was near by and they quickly set me up on my own in what's now the Frost and flame tavern... we'll end the story there"

Her life story Is mostly a mystery but It can be assumed she's not fully human although she looks it. Through further inspection It has been determined She is a homonculious; better known as an artificially made human. No branding can be found on her skin so her maker is unknown. The only clue she has is her red crystalized arm which is fully functional. The second best clue she has is faint blue light and the memory of purple glowing crystals. (Assumed to be some sort of crystal imbued with magic)

The crystal growth

After spending months in her tavern a growing feeling in her gut began drawing her back to the first thing she remembered. She needed to go back, and soon. Taking a trip over to the ruined fort the next day she found herself confused by her transfixion of the place. Almost as if she knew every inch by heart she started walking through the place. Making her way to a small basin of water that could fit a person in it like it was meant to be stepped in. Next thing she knew she was underground staring at a beautiful tree and stairs. Luckily bringing a lantern with her she made her way down hoping to find a way out as she could go the way she came from. During her visit she felt her body grow weaker and heavier. Confused she found the exit quickly making her way back home to sleep the weariness away. Days went by and things started getting weird first her hand getting stiff, then changing colors, then crystals? Concern made her go back a sinking feeling in her chest growing and the absence of memory making her fear what's happening to her. By this time half of her arm had been coated in blood red crystals. She gained the ability to use her hand again but adjusting to the change was scary and hard. She couldn't hide it well so she went back to the ruins hoping going back would revert the effect. Maybe she did something wrong and was cursed? The moment she stepped into the ruins- something was different about this visit.She began searching the ruins more closely hoping for a clue. With no luck after searching every nook and cranny above ground. She made her way to the tree again. The stairs dark yet some how also glowing faintly with something she doesn't remember. Magic? Her heart dropped. What if is this place was cursed and she was trapped in a jump spell... She had heard of mages in other towns from a friend she had made. Hollow steps echoed around her. The place that seemed comforting the first time now eerie and terrifying. What was happening to her?
