When you are all alone
Miller


Miller's family had lived on their island for a long time before catastrophe struck. It was a lush home and they lived well with nature, from a young age bonding with various animals and learning the ways of both the land and the sea. It all changed once the Karkanaks appeared. Horrifying crab-like creatures that scuttled from the beaches to take back what they claimed as rightfully theirs. Most of his family was killed in their first raids, but at that point Miller had what it took to survive. He'd do anything. It took six months for an Imperial Task Force on Monstrous Creatures to arrive to deal with the threat, despite numerous requests for help. By the time the creatures were cleared and the island reclaimed for humanity Miller was all alone, only his trusty hawk Roland to keep him company.

1.) What do you search for?
I search for creatures that upset the natural order, those beasts that require a true hunter.

2.) Do you support the Imperials? Why or why not?
The Empire saved my life, that's true. But the numerous others slain cannot go unaccounted for. They are weak and don't care for their citizens.

3.) What do you fear?
There are creatures out there that do not fear man, great ancient beasts and civilizations older than land. I truly fear these monsters, I can only hope that in man's time of need I will face my fears.

Miller, where do the Karkanaks come from, and what did they want? Does anyone even know?

As far as I know they want the systematic slaughter of humanity, but no one really believes me. They'll come for the rest of you someday, I know it. As far as tracking them my attempts brought me a little past the dropoff before going dry.
