Disposition:

Some Kankoran dislike modern technology but Weyss does not feel that way. Sure, she loves the bow but also likes carrying a powerful pistol as backup. As well, there are a large number of nifty technological arrow heads that are extremely useful. Finally, body armor protected by an integral force fields keeps one from getting dead in combat. She also does not mind using magic items and has managed to acquire a pair of enchanted swords and a number of enchanted arrows. She considers herself to be a quite practical person in what she uses.

Even though she does not dislike the trapping of modern society, she still prefers the wilderness over areas with large populations. Doesn’t really differentiate too much between humans and the other races with the exception of the Coalition. She tries to avoid them as far as possible. Otherwise, when she visits civilization to stock up, does not worry too much about who is them. Of course in many cases they take her to being some kind of Psi-Hound. Supernatural creatures of evil are one thing she does consider threatening, in many ways just as dangerous as the Coalition.

Weyss tends to be a bit on the shy side. Still, once she makes a friend, she is extremely loyal to them. The few friends she has are really important no matter what race they are. Her family is also extremely important to her even though she rarely gets a chance to visit them. In all cases, those she considers to be under her protection, she will give her all to make sure that they are not harmed.

Generally, Weyss is pretty serious although not normally the truly stuff personality. Does not mind others using humor and usually, although not always, gets it. Is slow to anger generally and not likely to take offense to most jokes. She realizes that it is often a way of releasing anger and frustration.

Character History:

Weyss is a second generation Kankoran in the world of Rifts. Her parents were born in another world, one without any real advanced technology. Instead, magic is the way of the world, doing many of the jobs that technology does in this world. The tribe which they belonged to was caught in a dimensional rift. The rift deposited them in the northern lands of North America, what had once been known as Canada.

While the tribe tried to make the best of the lands they settled in, there was a lot of trouble adjusting. Technology was virtually alien to them. Even today, much of the tribe have a certain distrust for the technology of the modern Rifts world. The Kankoran did manage to make some friends and allies including among the Indian tribes.

As with many societies, it was the children who managed to adapt to the new world they found themselves in. Happened often where immigrant families never quite adapt to a new nation they move to but their children find themselves comfortable in the family’s new home.

One of these children of course was Weyss. Third born of four children, she was the only girl. Weyss was always pretty comfortable around technology. Still, she straddled the world of her parents and the modern Rifts world. While she used modern equipment such an energy pistol, she loved using a bow and the sword. In fact, she became an absolute master with the bow.

From an early age, she loved exploring and wanted to be a scout. She often went with the hunting parties of the tribe, bringing back both game and helping to skin animals for some trade value. Some of her brothers were more the soldier types than she was. One actually became a Psi-Knight. While a capable warrior from an early age, she never was primarily interested in becoming a soldiers like her brothers.

Eventually, it came time to go off on her own. While she can ride a horse or mule, she can move pretty rapidly on her own. Many she travels with also have vehicles that travel far faster than any animal so would be left behind. She also prefers to keep her gear relatively light.

Early in her travels, she had a run in with the Coalition. At first, the troops she met thought she was a runaway Psi-Hound. Luckily, she as able to escape. Since then she has met a few rogue Psi-Hounds, both escaped from the Coalition and those who were free born.

Her adventures also put her in contact with a Ley Line Walker. For helping to save the Mage’s life, she was made both a pair of enchanted swords and a number of enchanted arrows. Managed to also acquire a technological force field generator for her body armor and the enchantment of chameleon.
