Alonzo LukeA lonely friend of ghostsAbout the Mist Realm High in the mountains, in deep, high altitude forests where the mist never leaves, the Mist Realm makes its home.
The Mist Realm is a place where few dare to enter, not just because of its high altitude and poor visibility, but also due to the creatures that reside there.
About Mist Wraiths Luke belongs to a race known as mist wraiths. These solitary creatures lurk in deep forests, and protect themselves and their homes with nearly impenetrable mist. They almost always live alone, interacting only ever to find mates, and even this is not common, because it involves leaving their forests. Needless to say, mist wraiths are rare beings. Don't be fooled by their name: they have no control over the actual mist. Instead, they are spiritually and somewhat physically part of the mist, and remain deep in the trees of their home under the mist's protection. If they step out of the mist without special protection, they will die. Being that special protection is hard to come by when you only have as far as mist reaches to search, most mist wraiths never leave their forests.
Mist wraiths are fairly peaceful, some even timid, but because of their territorial nature and mysterious air they have come to be a highly feared race, and are avoided. Countless false recounts of experiences with mist wraiths are constantly spreading like an ugly rash. Mist wraiths are not dangerous, but seeing them slink through the mist is frightening enough without the exaggerated tales of their hostility.
Other living residents of the mist realm are few and far between. They usually don't stay long.
About LukeIn the desolate, empty forest of the Mist Mountains, a lone, shadowy figure has been sighted wandering between the trees. No one is sure how long Luke has been in control of his territory, or even how long he has been alive. His presence is well known and well avoided.
However, Luke suffers from the unfortunate stereotype tag of his race. He is not at all aggressive. In fact, he is quite friendly and craves companionship. But he receives very few visitors, and because his life is tied to the mist, he cannot ever leave to search for anyone.
Luke understands very, very little about the world outside the mist. His speech is limited and basic, and not entirely fluent. He simply follows what he has heard from his only visitors. Because of his solitude, any conversation, social interactions, or understandings of how to interact are choppy, but he is fascinated by them. He is incredibly curious and wants to know as much about the outside world as he can possibly learn.
And his belief in ghosts?Of course Luke believes in ghosts; they're his only visitors and his closest friends! They are his connection to the world past his forest. Other creatures avoid him out of fear, but the ghosts aren't afraid of him at all. Ghosts love the mist, as it gives them a wonderful place to hide, and they have nothing to fear of Luke. He loves hearing their stories of the outside world, and can listen to them talk for hours. He and the ghosts often run around and play together in the mist. They are his companions.
