Persona Biography
Esmea von Tuek, orphaned young to a warband razing her home village, she was fostered by a coven of druids. She was taught in their ways, but didn't wholly accept them as her past was too haunting. Through seeking revenge, she travelled the globe, fighting without cause. She has taken up various techniques, from her roots of druidism, to assassination techniques and even a spending time learning martial arts, never able to find any suitable alternative to quell the rage inside.
She earned titles of nobility while assisting various lands as she travelled. War-torn veteran, she became a mercenary, never truly belonging to any one company or land. She fights because she must in order to appease the inner-demons, possibly seeing the faces of that warband in each over her fallen foes as she strikes them down.

More Information
Uncontested (so far) inventor of the 'Direct Injected Foam Over Core' weaponsmithing that was stolen and horribly implemented by commercial manufacturers after she consulted them for advice. (note: if you can predate and contest of this prior to 2000, please inform Esmea, as she also posted her ideas on the original Amtgard-L for advice) This system was designed to even recycle broken-down foams from old weapons, reducing waste impact of Amtgard's weapons.
