Geralt of Rivia


"Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all."

Over a millenia and a half ago, a cataclysmic event known as the Conjuction of Spheres occuered, a cosmic collision that brought numerous species to an unamed continent in the world. This marked the first arrival of humans into the world, as well as inumerable hordes of monsters appearing along with. To combat this threat, humanity created Witchers, humans subjected to alchemical mutations that increased their physical attributes, while granting a range of abilities and magical potency. Among these monster hunters for hire, one stood above the rest. This was Geralt of Rivia. Born to the sorceress Visena in the year 1230, Geralt was taken shortly after his birth to the Witcher stronghold of Kaer Morhen, home to the School of the Wolf. After being subjected to the mutations that turn men into Witchers, Geralt displayed an unusual tolerance for the mutagens used in the process. This prompted further mutations, rendering his hair white and granting him even greater physical abilities. Late in his career, he would be involved in a riot in Rivia, coincidentally. During this, he would be "killed", however this was not the end, as he would wake up with amnesia years later, where he would recount his past as a renowned monster slayer and remember figures from his past, and continue his work as the most prolific witcher in the world.

Talion


"Could you really rest for all of eternity, knowing that you had the chance to stop him but did nothing?" The land of Mordor is fraught with dangers. Dark Lords attempting to bring the world to its knees, brutal and bloodthirsty orcs, vicious monsters who will tear you to pieces at the slightest provokation, and the most horrifying monsters of all. But these terrifying creatures fear only one thing. A human ranger who has been banished from death, the Gravewalker: Talion. But before he became a death defying mass-orc-murdering killing machine, Talion was a simple ranger serving Gondor. Banished to the Black Gates of Mordor after killing a noble in defense of his wife, Talion would become a soldier defending the gates from the forces of darkness. Life was good, he had a son, got promoted to Captain, and then it all came crashing down when the Black Captains of Sauron invaded with a massive army of orcs, slaughtered the garrison to the last man and used his family as sacrifice, Talion included. The end. But plot twist: He didn't actual stay dead
