Champion Concept: Kineen the Blind Archer
Bastard. Useless. Demon child. She gritted her teeth, her ears still worked fine. She knew they weren’t bothering to whisper, they hadn’t whispered for 13 years. Did they think she didn’t know by now? She was a freak, an oddity, the symbol of the gods disapproval of their tribe. She braced herself, this was the day she was kicked from her tribe. They would never let her stay after this, after the ceremony. She stepped forward, aided by her mother, and her hands were placed on the bow. The bow, passed down for generations as a symbol of the heritage of their tribe. For generations girls had been going into the jungle, getting their first kill, and returning women. But it could never happen for her. The others had years of training, since birth, practicing archery, preparing for this rite of passage. She had received nothing, no help, no training, no preparation. It was her fault, she could never be an archer. Being the first blind child ever born into a tribe of archers was a death sentence and she knew it. So she grabbed the bow, and prayed for a miracle. And then. She heard it. A rustling in the bushes a few feet away. She didn’t hesitate, she pulled back the bowstring and fired towards the sound. It was as good of a chance as she was going to get, she had nothing left to lose. She heard the arrow travel through the air and the satisfying thwack of connecting with flesh. She was in disbelief. There was no way she hit that shot. She couldn’t see, she had never been allowed to touch a bow in her life. She heard the people behind her gasping for breath in shock, awed that she managed to hit an actual target with her first shot. Thud. The sound of a body dropping behind her. A woman’s scream. The elder’s voice ordering her to be seized. She flinched back, ran from the sound, didn’t understand what was going on. And then she saw. Not with her eyes, but with her ears. She saw the women trying to grab her, she saw the women standing shocked in the crowd, she saw the final breath leave her mother’s lips, and the arrow lodged in her chest. So she ran. She ran as fast and as far as she could. Terrified of what she had done, unable to go home, and blind except for the sounds of the world. She lived for years in the jungle, becoming one with the bow and the sound. Now she’s left the jungle, and is quickly adapting to her new surroundings, blindly hunting those who tell her what she can and can’t do.
