Tonibore

Tonibore is a wiry, grizzled trapper and martial artist, known for his lethal precision with a bladed chain weapon. His weathered face and sardonic humor hide a deep fascination with the creatures he hunts—especially Aberrations. Alternating between pensive moments and a need to keep moving, Tonibore struggles with idleness, always seeking the next challenge. Though rough around the edges, his good-natured approach often makes him the party’s spokesperson when dealing with outsiders, despite lacking the polish of a true negotiator.  

Background

A lifelong wanderer, Tonibore has spent decades in the Wilds, hunting the most dangerous creatures Alterran has to offer. His skills as a tracker and trapper are unmatched, and his knowledge of Aberrations and their weaknesses makes him indispensable. Working closely with Zenscha , he helps her gather rare materials for her alchemical experiments. While his life as a hunter is driven by necessity, it has become a passion—each hunt is a new puzzle, each Aberration a mystery to be unraveled. Though he thrives in isolation, his role in the party has slowly tethered him to a group of companions he respects, even if he doesn’t always show it.

Skills and Expertise

Tonibore is a master with his bladed chain, a weapon that allows him to control the battlefield by keeping enemies at a distance. His expertise in setting traps, tracking, and identifying his targets’ weaknesses makes him invaluable. He is highly knowledgeable about Aberrations—their behaviors, habitats, and how to use their remains for various purposes. His survival instincts are sharp, and his ability to adapt to new environments has kept him alive in the most hostile of circumstances.

Personality

Tonibore is pragmatic and dryly humorous, alternating between periods of introspection and a restless need for action. Though he often serves as the voice of reason, his curiosity about the unknown frequently pushes him into risky situations. His good-natured, straightforward approach makes him the group’s go-to person for dealing with outsiders, even if his bluntness and rough manners aren’t suited for diplomacy. Beneath his rugged exterior lies a keen mind always working to understand the creatures he hunts, and though he often plays the part of the detached loner, his loyalty to the group is unquestionable.

Motivations

Tonibore is driven by a combination of necessity and curiosity. Hunting Aberrations is his livelihood, but it’s also a way for him to explore the Wilds and satisfy his need to understand the unnatural creatures that roam them. He thrives in action, always seeking the next challenge, but it’s the aftermath—the opportunity to study and dissect the fallen beasts—that keeps him moving. His role as protector and provider ties him to the group, though his deeper motivation is the pursuit of knowledge about the Wilds and the creatures that inhabit them.
