Kara_Murdoch

If you ever thought monstergirls couldn't be adventurers, Kara here would set the record straight.

.... if you voiced such an opinion, rather determinedly, to her, and irritated her enough by being a stubborn ass about it, well, she'd break your face.

Kara M. Murdoch, Lamia Adventuress, is a bit of an odd one, though, as such things go. She's a mercenary, more than anything else, hiring on with one group or another for a specific period, which, distressingly often, tends to be 'Until we have this artifact, to defeat this lich, to get this other artifact.'. Escape clauses.... well, they're VERY useful. She keeps a certain fairy on speed-dial, metaphorically speaking, to wriggle out of legal loopholes, and make magically binding contracts.

.... which, really, is how the trouble started.

Kara, see, has a little brother. A young fella, name of Kai, who.... well, he's all she has, since dad disappeared and mom died. She's been doing this mostly to keep them both fed and comfortable, but.... she got caught up in a war, and her contract? Well, it was magically binding, for her and the person she was hired by. She couldn't wriggle out of it until the war ended, and that... that took a while longer than she expected.

As wars go, it was rather short... but, well, with more than a month's travel to and from the country where it occurred, plus six months of war, plus mopping-up, it took her more than a year to get back home, only to find that her beloved little bro was GONE. Their den was ransacked by human hoodlums, and he, apparently, was forced out, to make it on his own. Naturally, this was more than a little upsetting, and... well, you don't want to know what happened to the jerks who did it. Trust me. But now, well, she's gotta find the little guy, and make sure he's okay!

Kara, though, is certainly impressive by any standards. Twenty-five feet long from head to tail, with three of that being torso, and covered in scars along her entire length, she certainly shows records of her adventures, sometimes in gruesome detail. She remembers the story behind most of those, too, but.... well, one scar crosses one of her eyes, and that one, well, gets different stories every time. Her scales are a rather plain brown, unlike those of some others, her skin is tan(save for pale scars), her eyes are blue, and her hair is worn long, in a tight tail behind her head. Her clothing is simple, and basic, most of the time, consisting of a chest-wrap or a simple shirt more often than not, and armor as necessary, along her tail and torso. She doesn't carry any traditional human weapons, though, instead favoring a broad, curved blade with a pair of straps on the end. A tail-blade, specifically, though it could be strapped to an arm easily enough.

Cheerful, friendly, sarcastic, and honest(except when it's hilarious not to be), Kara's a nice gal. A bit of a tomboy, certainly, but nice. Determined, too! She's gonna find her brother, dammit, if it's the last thing she does!

... and if she's lucky, along the way she'll find herself a nice, girly dress...
