Lifestyle

Between hunting jobs, Viral tends to be a reader of books. He enjoys learning new skills and reading tales of fantasy. He also makes appointments to do favors around the town, for a cost. People, who need urgent assistance, and unless it is life threatening, will pay upfront. He makes his own brew, but keeps in contact with his family mostly through work. He gets gifts from the family for the guild, which is much appreciated.

Origin

Viral was born from a family as the 3rd child and second son of the Hammerheart family in Ulsteg. When he was five years of age, his family started the brew beer and became quite successful in the endeavor. After two years, they had their beer fairly successful throughout the city and wanted to expand. They now run a very large company making Bonebrew beer for a very large area. The royal family has even purchased their beer for their own dinning pleasure. After a few failed deliveries to the castles though, It was appointed that they would have a bodyguard accompany their transport. At the age of 20, Viral met Logan, the head of the hunter's guild who sought the job until completion. Watching him work inspired him to become a member in his 50's when he was mature and begin working on jobs. While his family wishes he would stay and assist with the family business, they understood that he needed to do what he wanted to.

Through the Hunters Guild, Viral has made many connections and have met several individual people. One of his first jobs involved a town where they were under attack of a monster. When he first arrived, he came in contact with what he thought was the beast and slayed it with the assistance of a human and his wife. Little did he know, there were more. The towns folk pleaded to have the two stay and work on their issue, and for the price the hunters guild charged, they agreed. A month later, They were all dead, but not wavering the spirit of Viral, knowing that in the end, it was the townsfolk who hired him that was a large portion of these beasts.

His next job that was of interest was a town to the south of his hometown which would be attacked in an unusual mist. The mist would come in and birds would attack the townsfolk and steal their riches. After looking into the mater, a witch was controlling the birds and causing the fog to come in at odd times. After putting an arrow in her head, Viral found a wounded young raven and healed it to health. The bird's name became Pike and is a treasured companion to Viral.

It would be a few years before Viral's next interesting job, a wurm that would be attacking those who traveled along a path. The beast was 8' tall and what felt like a mile long. It was fast and difficult to kill. It was with the aid of Kithkin, an old family friend who made him a poison that would allow the beast to become vulnerable, that allowed him to slay the beast. After presenting a memento of the kill, which was a huge sliver of the beast's horn, Viral was asked to bestow a name onto his weapon, which he names "Wurm Breaker"

His latest accomplishment came before him when a cowardly member of a party did not wish to go. After paying a very gracious price, It was chosen that I would go for the mission. The mission was simple, disband a group form casting the ritual of some kind. The task was easily met, but I took the necklace of their leader as a reward, which was a dried dragon claw. I clearly remember putting that claw in the trophy room.

Projects, Goals and/or Downtime

Find and read books is what Viral does with most of his time. If something of interest comes into his possession, that will be just fine.

Viral has two goals: Find out what the animal he imitates is called, and to never disappoint his Guild. Those two goals have gotten him far in life.

Connections

	Pike companion Rescued when he was only a small bird after the confrontation of an evil witch which was usingbirds to attack the citizens of a nearby village. Ever since, he has been a well beloved creature in Viral's life. After a few years of training, he has been used for recon and giving sight for Viral when he cannot see the targets. They have been working on a long range target system where Pike would fly over his target and Viral would aim 50ft directly below where Pike is.
	Daergrim sexy motherfucker After Viral becaem a member of the Hunters Guild, his family has requested him to be part of the escort service to the royal family. Thats when Viral met Daergrim and honestly began to have quite a crush. Sheing his smiling face makes Viral blush, even though he knows that his smile is only for the beer. Viral also likes his bear companion.
	Kithkin Family Friend Bonebrew is so popular, it became a thing where no one would turn it down. Then people started to poison the bear for their cowardly killings. people thought it was the family's doing, and tried to play the same trick on them. After an unsuspected death of Viral's unkle, We brought Kithkin in to assist with curing us of the poison. With his assistance of finding and capturing those who poisoned Viral's family, They became great friends. Viral would later call on Kithkin to make a poison to remove what appeared to be an aura of healing or immortality on a wurm.
