The Characters of Hindsight 20/20
Today we are introducing the first in a series of posts about the characters you’ll encounter when playing Hindsight 20/20. We hope that these short bios will help you better understand the characters you’ll interact with and how you should treat them.
Priya
Name: Priya Parekh
Age: 32
Species: Human
Appearance
A pleasant and affable woman who wears the humble garb of Champaner. She adorns herself with the jewelry she has found in the abandoned parts of her town. Together with a more traditional hairstyle, they both serve as reminders of Champaner’s glory days.
Personality
Priya’s looks do not deceive. She is a gentle and kind woman, loyal to her friends and family. While she is by nature a very analytical person, it never interferes with her unswerving sense of hope. The future, for her, is always filled with better days.
Backstory
Priya spent her childhood exploring Champaner and the natural world. She fell in love with two things during those formative years - nature and knowledge. The beauty of Champaner’s forests were a welcome contrast to the tragic ruins of her town. But it was in Champaner’s abandoned library where Priya would find her true calling. Scattered across the fragmented books(which she called “treasures”) in that lonely place, she pieced together her unique perspective. The bits of science she discovered sharpened her analytical mind, and the old tales of a great city filled the young girl with hope for the future. Priya, with the wondrous years of her childhood behind her, was ready to make her vision of Champaner a reality.
Yet that was not to be.
The terrible Raakshasa plague has proved to be a step backwards. It is a time to readjust one’s expectations. A time for despair. Priya’s hopes and dreams still persist, but they have taken on a new shape. She now spends her days using her intellectual gifts to study the Raakshasas in Champaner’s ravaged pub, the Shakti Lounge. When her mind needs rest, she sits on the old bar daydreaming about the future. A bright future where the Shakti Lounge has come back to life, filled with the cheers and laughter of merry people.
Next Time
We hope today’s post gives you a better understanding of who Priya is and why she’s so important to her town. Next time we’ll talk about Champaner’s great protector - Aurthur.
