Background:	Artemis is the eldest of three siblings, who were left motherless and penniless at a young age in Zyon. They have never known their father, and their mother had always been sickly and did not live to see Artemis reach her 20's. Her mother had been a deeply religious woman, worshipping the Six but also Rao and Artemis accompanied her enough through her childhood to Rao's temple to gain a respect for the god herself. Perhaps it could be called an obsession, the paintings of the handsome god Rao were engraved deeply into her mind, and one could say the god of death rites was her first crush. When her mother died, it then became her job to care for her two younger brothers in whatever way that meant. She had a quick temper, and even quicker to use her fists to solve her problems. It was not her goal to leave a trail of bodies behind her, but if someone died, she refused to leave the body until proper death rites had been said over the body. She recognized she was much like her mother in more ways than merely her admiration of Rao; Artemis was sickly at times and prone to illness and that only made her strive harder to overcome what she considered a burden. She could not leave her brothers to fend for themselves, so she had to make her body as strong as she could. She learned just enough healing skills to patch herself and her brothers up when needed, and used the art of lockpicking to stealthily enter homes of those who had plenty to procure just enough for her little family to live. She and her brothers traveled with a band of gypsies for a few years, which allowed them to see the world outside of Zyon. With the combined skills of the siblings, Artemis decided to follow a lead about an adventuring guild located in Navahla. It would grant the needed excitement she lived for, along with ample means to live a comfortable life, so she'd been told. After discussion with her brothers, it was to Navahla for the little tight-knit family of three.

[Head]

Eyes of the Dragon [Face/Eyes]
These tigereye gems fit over and then meld into the eyes, transforming the wearer’s eyes into something slitted and draconic. These eyes grant the wearer darkvision 120 ft. and blindsense 60 ft. The wearer sees four times as well as a human in dim light and twice as well in normal light.
[Worth: 2,500gp]

Amulet of Armor [Neck]

[Torso]

[Armor]

[Cloak]

[Waist]


Beads of Retributive Healing [Arms/Wrist]
This strand of ceramic beads is painted with sedate earth tones. Devoting your life to healing is often a thankless job. An amulet of retributive healing ensures that if you tend to your allies, you are renewed in turn. When you activate your amulet, the next effect you use before the end of your turn that heals another creature’s damage also heals you of an equal amount, as long as you could be healed by that same effect. If the effect heals multiple creatures, you only gain the retributive healing once. This can be used once per combat
[Worth: 5,000gp]

Ghost Hands [Hands]
These leather gloves are enchanted to strike incorporeal or ethereal creatures while unarmed.
[Worth: 2000gp]

Spidersilk Leggings [Legs]

Boots of Catwalking [Feet]
These high-soled blue boots provide a great deal of comfort and arch support while also making the wearer appear a little bit taller than normal. The boot’s wearer always takes the minimum possible damage from falls (as if the GM had rolled a 1 on each die of damage incurred by the fall) and at the end of a fall always lands on his feet.
[Worth: 2,500gp]

Combat Finger Sleeves [Body Mod] [Crafted by Finn]
Finger Sleeve I: This allows a combatant to write an extra combat maneuver per gemstone rank.
Finger Sleeve II: This gives a combatant +5 DMG to physical damage in combat.
Finger Sleeve III: This grants you a +2 to your DC for your combat maneuvers.
Finger Sleeve IV: This allows a combatant to write 2 extra combat maneuvers per gemstone rank.

Scout's Journal [Magic Item]
This appears as a large, ornate parchment scroll brilliantly illuminated with mysterious symbols on a backing of supple, worked leather. These scrolls are opened using two rolling rods on each side. Rolled into the parchment of a new Scout's Journal is a plain silver ring, wearing this ring does not take up a ring slot but it does glow slightly with divination magic if detect magic is used on it. The journal tracks the ring wearer, creating a perfectly accurate map of where he goes and annotating in the margins with descriptions (in Common) and sketches of more interesting features the wearer sees (DM discretion). The map and notes are based only on what the ring wearer sees and does, it does not fill in unseen areas or make assumptions, nor will it record specific messages or spells. The map covers an area of 100 square miles. Once the map is filled it, the ring can be used with another journal, but can only be attuned to one parchment at a time.
Worth: 2,000gp

Lightsource  [crafted by Finn]
This tattoo is some sort of light source, such as a sun, a candle, a moon, a torch, etc. It can be commanded to shine as bright as a lantern to give you aid in seeing in the dark. It does not pierce magical darkness.

Tan Bag of Tricks [Magic Item]
This small sack appears empty. Anyone reaching into the bag feels a small, fuzzy ball. If the ball is removed and tossed up to 20 feet away, it turns into an animal. The animal serves the character who drew it from the bag for 10 minutes (unless slain or ordered back into the bag), at which point it disappears. It can follow any simple commands, if ordered into combat follow the rules for Animal Companions to determine it's hp and dice. Animals produced are always random, and only one may exist at a time. Up to 10 Animals can be drawn from the bag each week, but no more than two per day.

Obsidian: +20 or Constant +5 or Double Roll
Diamond: +24 or Constant +6 or Double Roll

Spinning Jump Kick: A powerful jumping kick, in which the character spins around in mid-air, gaining extra torque. It is very hard to pull off, but it can be a very damaging move! This is a one time attack. (STR vs QCK)

Amber: Absorbs 7 Dmg
Sapphire: Absorbs 9 Dmg
Emerald and Ruby: Absorbs 11 Dmg
Obsidian: Absorbs 15 Dmg.

Impenetrable Callouses: You have trained arduously for years, in fact since childhood, to turn your soft and supple skin into an unyielding sheath. After years of exhaustive training (truthfully just a series of savage beatings engendering dense callouses and firm scars) your body has become defensively viable. Almost as if wearing an armor, you absorb some of the attacks which could have caused serious damage to you. In the process, you have caused yourself to look less attractive, but at least in most cases these callouses and scars do not completely cover your face, so aside from a scar here or there your face is recognizable.

Emerald and Ruby: 3 rounds
Obsidian: 4 rounds

Prescient Strike: Your sharp mind discovers a critical flaw in your opponent's defenses, allowing you to slip past, negating defenses.

Hold
Amber and Sapphire: 2 rounds
Emerald and Ruby: 3 rounds
Obsidian: 4 rounds

Thunderpunch: This unarmed strike is powerful enough to knock someone out. (STR vs END)

Exercise Regime: You have trained your body with daily exercises that allow you the stamina to boost your Acrobatics.

Guard Training: You've spend countless days and nights on guard duty and know how to notice when somebody is sneaking around. This boosts your Listen.

Brute: You are able to focus your energy into your strength, boosting it. This boosts Strength.

Danger Sense: You have the uncanny ability to sense the presence of foes before they reveal themselves. It is very hard to surprise you, your perception is top notch. This boosts Perception.

Gruff But Inspiring: While your general demeanor may be cold or abrasive, you are an inspiring leader on the battlefield. This boosts your Charisma.

Hard Knock Life: You've had your share of hard times, and this has only caused you to learn to endure, boosting your Endurance.

Mettle: You have great perseverance and have extreme force of will. This grants a boost to Willpower.

Crushing Hug: This maneuver is a powerful bear-hug hold that inflicts damage, as well as causes your opponent to lose a turn as they gasp for breath.
(Hold/Dmg)
Crystal and Topaz: 1 round / +4 DMG
Amber and Sapphire: 1 round / +6 DMG
Emerald and Ruby: 2 rounds / +8 DMG
Obsidian: 3 rounds / +10 DMG

Combat Effects

Bait and Bleed: The combatant baits the target throughout the fight, causing them to finally attack her. Once they've attacked, whether they actually hit her or not, they are close enough for a counter-attack. Depending on the style of attack, she responds to an attack with an attack of her own as soon as the attack is over, even if it is not her turn. If they fail their save, then rolls are made as per a normal attack by the combatant for a counterattack. (STR vs QCK)

Divert Harm: When you are targeted by an area effect, you may attempt to throw one enemy into harm's way as well. (QCK vs QCK)

Feint and Lunge: By concentrating on misdirection, the combatant is able to use the feint and lunge ability to strike at one area of the opponent's body, only to reverse direction at the last instant to strike somewhere else. The student may roll two strikes for the attack, accepting the better of the two results.

One Inch Punch: Your foe, apparently possessed of at least a certain wit, manages to catch your incoming fist between his hands in a defensive pose, seemingly evading your unarmed attack. Without shifting to recover your stance, you immediately launch another punch with the same fist already only inches away from their heart, overpowering their defense with sheer strength and speed. This grants you a second unarmed attack if your target attempts to evade your first attack.

Skill Effects

Controlled Breathing: The combatant has studied intensive breathing exercises that allow him to relax his mind and body and moderate his body's other functions. They can endure changes of temperature, as they are easily able to moderate their own body temperature. This acts like "endure elements" but it is not magical in nature.

Stand Your Ground: You keep fighting no matter how scared you get. If you are under a fear effect that would make you run from combat, you are able to withstand the fear and continue fighting.
