Reine

Intro Reine attends a university in France that is known for training excellent explorers. She is a Hypernatural Biology major, meaning she learns about the biology of mythical and extinct creatures. She hopes to become an explorer so that she can find animals no one has seen study them. Her greatest dream is to find a specific Griffin called “Aurelie”, which is known for having an amazing display of colorful feathers, but it has only ever been seen once. Reine also has highly developed senses that go beyond what a normal human is capable of. She can see farther and in greater detail, she can track scents like a bloodhound, she can hear little animals scuttling across the ground, her reaction time is faster than a cat’s, and her mind can come up with 10 solutions to a single problem in only a few seconds. She isn’t super popular since she finds more value in having close friends that she can depend on instead of making a lot of unnecessary connections that might hold her back. Though, she does really cherish the people she does have in her life. In this world, mythical creatures roam every nook and cranny of the world. Sasquatches, wendigos, manticores, etc. There are also signs of extinct animals beginning to re-emerge such as dinosaurs, thylacines, giant bugs, and others. There is an organization known as “Colossal” who acts as a sort of police force for independent explorers who don’t work for a university or some other organization. If an explorer wants to go on an expedition, they can ask Colossal for funds, resources, tools, and hired assistance. They also regulate the means by which someone can explore. For example, if someone is wanting to hunt a creature, they will not be allowed to lead or join an expedition in order to conserve the species of whatever is being studied. Reine is on an assignment to locate and capture a Matagot, a restless spirit that usually takes the form of a cat. It often appears in people’s dreams, searching for other lost spirits.
