[King-Clod]

[ASTRAL_ABERRATION]:
alright here goes, I split up Other into Backstory and Inventory if that's ok

I think this could be a really cool backstory, and if Kara isn't allowed to have spawned on a moon other than Ascent it can always be that someone brought her there. Either way she doesn't remember, and either way she was alone.

Let me know if anything needs changing!

Name: Kara
Origin: Beacon
Appearance: A navy blue biped with no face, with long light blue hair around her head and at the end of her tail. Has nubby ears and a light blue marking of a four-point star on her chest.
Personality: Wants to connect but has difficulty to due to her lack of experience talking with other people. Tends to keep to herself. Approaches many conversations as a trap, or more precisely, a puzzle. Having spent most of her time in the ruins and in the Connection, is used to having to put a lot of thought into things. She still can jump to conclusions easily though. Self-sufficient and resourceful.
Goals: Learn more about casting magic and the ancients, and find a place she can call home with people she cares about. Learn more about where she came from.
Skills: Has dabbled with magic and knows enough to use her magic scarf, very good at spelunking and exploring ruins, decent enough dealing with the cryptic nature of denizens from the Connection, and is good at thinking on her feet. Her tail is prehensile and has often helped in a pinch. Good at fighting monsters but tends to avoid it.
Flaws: Little tact and not very trusting. Has no one to teach her magic and her attempts to practice have often had catastrophic results. Has not fought a beacon before and tries not to, her skills with combat with someone on her level are very lacking.
Backstory: Spawned on a barren moon, not Ascent. Stayed there by herself for a few years before finding an entry to the Connection, which she used to get through to different areas. Has very rarely run into those of her own kind, and spends most of her time conversing with creatures born of the Connection. Doesn't know why she spawned alone. Has been swindled before by other beacons and chased off by fauna, so she sees every area not on her home moon as potentially dangerous. Has gone spelunking through ruins before and it interests her greatly, but she isn't sure what any of it means.
Inventory:

• A lyre she found in the ruins, out of tune and with an image of an ancient divine. Has no magical properties, at least none that she knows of. It does appear to have a slot for something to fit into it, but she isn't sure what.
  
• A bladed scarf that glows purple, it can cut through stone as if it were butter for a high cost, and beacons and monsters as if they were nothing. She hasn't yet used it on a beacon though.
  
• She wears a worn out shirt, pants, and hiking boots gifted to her by a kind stranger traveling through the connection, trying to pull people out to bring them back home. She still regrets not going with them.
  
• Grappling hook. It's got a three pronged hook and a trigger, and she only found it recently. Isn't very good with it yet.
