The quiet life of your community suited you just fine; a modicum of peace and prosperity was had in your home, and you realize now that it was all taken for granted. A day came when the regular routine - the smiling faces of passers-by, tradesmen and crafters at their work, farmers tilling the fields - came to a crashing end. A great beast attacked your land and your people, and the best and bravest among you were cut down with such unbridled ferocity that many fled, and those that remained believed your final doom had arrived in the form of an array of gnashing fangs and baleful eyes.

Skill Proficiencies: Survival and Nature

Tool Proficiencies: Poisoner's Kit, Herbalism Kit

Languages: You know one additional language of your choice, preferably one to speak with races that deal with monsters a lot or even monstrous races themselves like orc and goblin

Equipment: A set of traveler's clothes, a herbalism kit, a trophy from a monster you've killed (horn, claw fragment, etc.), 5 days of rations, and a belt pouch containing 10 gp.

Long have you immersed yourself in the meticulous study of the vile humors extracted from monsters of every stripe, and in so doing, have learned both how to carefully preserve and transport the quantities you obtain, and how to peddle your wares to the most interested and higher-paying clientele. You can readily recall the names and types of poisons and admixtures that can be created from the varieties of monster you hunt, and what quantities of given fluids and powders are needed to create such items.

Personality Traits (d8)

1	I often find myself mimicking the sounds and speech of animals and monstrosities alike, consciously or not.
2	I have pursued and immersed myself in the habits of my quarry so often that I have adopted some of their behaviors.
3	I value the wildlife and natural world only insofar as it is valuable to me dealing with the merchant guilds.
4	I am as predatory in a market exchange hawking my wares as the beasts I stalk, seeking the best price and the meekest buyer.
5	It is less for the profit that I do this than it is for the thrill of the hunt and victory.
6	I have learned that the most successful hunt is the one that involves skilled allies.
7	It is not everyone that deserves to purchase what I procure, and I limit my offerings only to a select few.
8	If you cannot keep up with me on a hunt, then you are only as good as bait for my prey.

Ideals (d6)

1	Ecology I take only what is needed to quell threats and subsist. Desiring more invites ruin. (Lawful)
2	Healer The salves, poultices, and medications that come from my trade are reason enough for the hunt. (Good)
3	Exploitation It is only to harness the power of my prey that I do as I do, and with it, destroy my foes. (Evil)
4	Trophy It's an achievement to bring down these beasts, and I deserve to display my triumphs. (Chaotic)
5	Profiteer The pay is often good and the work is steady - I could ask for no more. (Neutral)
6	Studious I must divine every aspect and secret locked away in the bodies of these creatures. (Any)

Bonds (d6)

1	It is to my mentor that I owe all that I am, and for them I continue in this work.
2	Had my home's alchemists known the panaceas one could create from these creatures, my family might not have died from disease.
3	My hunter allies are as friend and family to me as my own flesh and blood, and I will never abandon them.
4	The beasts I hunt maraud and terrorize my homelands, and I cannot rest until they've all been cut down.
5	Past debts have bound me to the hunt, obligated to fulfill the wishes of those who hold my contract.
6	It is not for myself that I pursue these creatures, it is for the future of my charge that I ply my trade.

Flaws (d6)

1	My reputation is ill-deserved - having never slain a monster, I ply the refuse from desiccated corpses.
2	Often do I lie about my successes, withholding quantities meant for a client.
3	I cannot tolerate the presence of other hunters, spending more time trying to hinder them than hunting on my own.
4	Avarice gets the better of me from time to time, swelling my anger at the negotiating table.
5	The quirks inherited from my time in the wild have left me virtually unable to socialize with civilized peoples.
6	What I earn I tend to spend quickly, leaving me groping for the next job at the cusp of becoming a beggar.
