Felix Bray

Background

Felix Bray was no hero, so when a rival simvan tribe attacked his tribe during his youth, he could not single handedly save them. He was just a teenage kid.

He adopted a nomadic lifestyle migrating from settlement to settlement and from people to people. Felix was a psi-stalker, shunned by humans for being a mutant and d-bees for being a predator. Eventually he would have to move on to the next community.

Felix did have some psionic ability and was a fair hand with a pistol. He was even a quicker at the draw than most. He used his skills to protect those communities he joined for however long he could stay. He didn't want anyone else to experience the loss of their tribe if he could help it.

This was his lifestyle for nearly three decades before he stumbled into the strange dimension home to the settlement of Skagit. He stumbled in by accident during a ley line storm three years ago. He found himself on the outskirts of a low tech town being raided by brodkil and other "minor" demons.

The town's sheriff was rallying the defenders to protect themselves and their homes, and Felix fought his way to the sheriff. Together they held the line, but before the raiders broke they decided to make a pass at the sheriff to weaken Skagit's leadership. Felix fought valiantly to protect the sheriff, and it cost him an arm, but their assault was too strong and the sheriff was cut down.

Nardal Longwalker, Skagits healer, helped Felix recover, but the arm was beyond saving. While his body healed, Felix got to know the fennodi healer. More than rejuvenating Felix's body, the fennodi nourished his mind. By the time he fully recovered, Felix could enhance his weapons more than ever before and shield himself more effectively. Nardal tried to teach Felix to move things with his mind, to help compensate for the lost arm, but it didn't work quite right. Instead of moving things with his mind, Felix could only form a telekinetic arm where his original arm had been.

Since then, Skagit has entrusted law keeping to Felix and elected him as the new Sheriff. He has the experience needed and the drive to protect his new tribe. His familiarity with Nardal was of benefit, too, but he also found a kindred spirit in Rain, leader of the fire brigade, as well. Both Felix and Rain found themselves shunned because of their natures, and both of them wanted to protect their community regardless.

With the emergency services of Skagit united, surely nothing could stand in the city's way!
