GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME:Chimchurri
AGE: 35
GENDER: Cis-masc
SPECIES: Zoanthropic Earthling [Makafushigi Adventure, Martial Artist, Cash Money]
GENERAL TRAITS: Wealthy, Tactician.
STARTING PLANET: Earth
HOME REGION: Southern Jungles
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
BACKGROUND: Chimchurri was born to a quiet village in a peaceful corner of the Southern Tropics, his parents already well into their years by the time he was born. The family operated a sizable Cashew orchard which he and his many siblings were made to tend to, something that he could never come to enjoy.
By any normal reading of fate he should have grown up a farmer, just the same as his parents, but as the years passed all of his siblings moved on with their lives. Chimchurri himself was barely out of school when his parents decided to retire, leaving their land to a handful of his oldest siblings. None of them really wanted it, and what little their orchards could produce brought in less money every year.
It would only take a few short months before the farm was sold to a company eager to buy up most of the village’s productive land to sell all they could off-planet. Chimchurri, for one, was eager to be rid of that place. It was only a matter of time before the quaint little village was hollowed out into a husk.
By a stroke of luck he found himself the apprentice of a wandering wizard, well, more their supply manager, but it was easy enough to keep a few animals fed, inventories sorted, and a few oddities… sated. For all his work the not-so-secret arcane was taught to him day after day, yet, for all his teacher’s knowledge and skill never once did either of them go on some grand adventure. Never once did they roll into town and sell any kind of magical wears, in fact, they spent most of their time hocking whatever cure-all, bullshit poultice, or mobile phone plan they could that day.
It boggled Chimchurri’s mind so much that he confronted his teacher several times, and each time he would only be met with a smile, a quip of wisdom, and nothing more. His teacher could have been powerful, he could have been adored, and yet he was content to roam the planet as nothing more than a con-artist? It confounded the cat-man so that as soon as he thought himself learned enough he set off on his own without a word.
He would learn quickly that adventuring without a clear goal in mind got him nowhere fast. Soon he was without money and destitute ins some gods-forsaken corner of the earth. It was easy for him to fall in with a gang of local bandits from there, plying his magical abilities to the criminal underworld for fun and profit.
