Atalanta the Huntress- Character Profile

The Re-enchantment brought about many things, old gods now
walk the earth, folk stories are becoming true once again and there are dragons
flying through the sky once again. One thing that was looked over was Heroes.
With ancient Greece being somewhat off the course of The Silk Road and many of
the ancient monsters now walking the land. Greece has largely been annexed for
fear of some of the most dangerous monsters in all of mythology escaping into
the world. The borders were closed and guarded. However, some things escaped.
More specifically, some*one*.

A young woman slips through the border, heading into the
world. Her name is Atalanta, the woman who slew the Calydonian Boar and the
only woman to have sailed on the Argo. The greatest hunter of ancient Greece.
Now, Atalanta roams the Silk Road, hunting any monster she can find.

**Bio:** In
mythology, Atalanta was the mistaken daughter of an Arcadian king who
desperately wanted a son and thus abandoned her in the mountains. Rather than
dying, the baby Atalanta was taken in by a mother bear, symbolic of Artemis,
and raised as one of her cubs. After being discovered by hunters and
re-entering society, Atalanta joined the hunt for the Calydonian Boar, and slew
it before any of the other many heroes that joined the hunt. Being a hero under
a divine mandate, Atalanta was sealed when the God of Boredom locked up all the
magic in the world.

In a post Re-enchantment world, Atalanta has travelled the
world, hunting all manner of beasts and monsters from all corners of Mythology.
She often comes off as aloof, but not unfriendly. Atalanta is just not people
focused, she concentrates on the hunt above all things. While not arrogant,
Atalanta is distinctly confident in her combat abilities. She also takes
extreme offence whenever anyone regards her as “simply feminine”.

**Physical Appearance:** In
the modern world, Atalanta is fairly plainly dressed, despite retaining fairly
traditional Greek hunting equipment. She is a beautiful young woman, despite
being heavily scarred. She stands just under six feet tall and is built
slightly, but powerfully. She only ever uses a spear and a bow for her hunting.
However, having been raised by bears and being favoured by Artemis, she is
almost unstoppable with these simple weapons.

**Reason for being in**
the Area: **Atalanta heard tales of some of the monsters that were roaming**
Transylvania. More specifically, she is here to hunt the greatest of the
vampires: Dracula. Atalanta is primarily motivated by the thrill of the hunt
and the desire for even greater prey.

**Particular Haunts:** Atalanta
will be found on the outskirts of Cluj-Napoca, attempting to gather information
and a hunting party to go and slay Dracula. She is also attempting to keep her
intentions secret in case the legendary Vampire finds her before she’s ready.

**Player Interaction:** Atalanta
will ask the player to complete various hunting and information gathering
missions that all lead up to a confrontation with Dracula. The player can also
be trained in hunting and combat by talking to her. The player will also have
the option to flirt and attempt to romance Atalanta but the culmination of this
path involves her challenging the player to a foot race that the player cannot
win. Upon victory, Atalanta will murder the player and go on her merry way. The
player will also have the option to make sexist comments to Atalanta. This will
result in direct combat with the huntress, who will be incredibly high level,
very fast and will mock the player after beating them into the ground.
