[tface=fraktur][SIZE="7"][COLOR="YellowGreen"]M[/COLOR][/SIZE][/tface][tface=callig]iss Biterips has no known birthplace as her mother arrived in Mistlocke with her when the young Biterips was still a child. The name of her mother is now long lost to the Mists, so little is known about her ties with the families of the Shrouded Hamlet.

Mother and daughter only ever spent a few years together in Mistlocke, infirmity or grief, it is hard to say which, claimed poor Miss Biterip's only family. The new urchin had to raise herself and find her own path in life, indelibly succumbing to the darker and shadier sides of society.

Each day that passed, Miss Biterips would become more and more strange. She would brand her own body with odd tattoos and strange markings, and she would start avoiding the company of most people, taking preference to be left alone and quiet.

One day, Miss Biterips appeared with her face entirely deformed, nobody knows why, but everyone had a theory about it. Some sad that she was mauled by a leopard or fleshling, others say that it was due to unholy rituals of necromancy or that she tried to kill herself jumping into the River Tear, but instead fell with the face splattering upon the rocks.

Whatever tale is true, the children started making rhymes about her appearance, mocking her ugliness, and the adults avoided her even more than before, so disgusting was her mug. The thing developed to the point of she being denied access to the Mist's End Inn, upon grounds that she was scaring all the customers away. These and other events only made her rage and bitterness grow, in special a burning hatred towards the Smogsons, who had ever persecuted her.

As the years passed, she stopped changing clothes and started preaching about the deeds of Talona, the Mother of All Plagues. She calls herself the High Priestess of Talona, Matron of the Blighted Faith of Ymph.

Most people pass her off as moon touched though and don't pay heed to her babblings. Some say that she has been involved in the mysterious disappearances of children over the years, though the only evidence they have is the woman's constant overtures upon the young of Mistlocke...

Despite her rancid appearance and the many suspicions of the villagers, she has managed to stay out of the criminal spotlight. An accessory to more shady dealers, yet too grotesque for many to even approach. She is the frightening reminder to all of what awaits those who step outside of the shroud - the unending ugliness of H'bala.[/tface]

[tface=meddon][SIZE="5"][COLOR="YellowGreen"]It seems cool... but I do not want to play a stinky Talonite[/COLOR][/SIZE][/tface]

[tface=fraktur][SIZE="7"][COLOR="YellowGreen"]Y[/COLOR][/SIZE][/tface][tface=callig]our problems reached an end!

There are many flavorful ways of joining the race!
Here are my first suggestions for brainstorming that I am already kinda using on Biterips (based on some PrC classes that you might want to build your concept around, even without taking any of them for real):

Cancer Mage (here and here)
[INDENT]This is great for these who like playing wizards. Think about a really weak mage who were accursed by a terrible disease and tries to find a cure for it (withering?). On the process, the mage slowly becomes more and more attuned to his own disease, using it at her favor instead of fighting against it. [/INDENT]
Vermin Acolyte/ Vermin Lord
[INDENT]These are mostly what I am doing with Biterips, someone that uses the vermins that parasite or are symbiotically connected to her as a way of protection and attack[/INDENT]
Lurker in the Swarm
[INDENT]Such a cool option for these who likes the undead side of force, with a H'balan accent... undead bees![/INDENT]
Blightmancer
[INDENT]I follow this also for coming out with ideas for Biterips. Much of her flavor and spice is thanks to this general concept of a blightmancer.[/INDENT]

[COLOR="YellowGreen"][SIZE="6"]Although![/SIZE][/COLOR]

We are not limited to these Talonite options!

If you think it would be interesting to join Biterips into something, she's hiring a lot of different kinds of people to aid her (check here)

Not to mention the Lustermen of the Commonwealth and the Motherhood of Doom!

I would like to emphasize also that it'd be great for someone to roll something related to the Plague Rats, although. Having a wererat sergeant around is an old dream of mine ^^.
