Valen

Intro Valen lives in a world where hybrids exist on the edges of acceptance. A child of the forest, born of human and grizzly bear, he was abandoned before he could understand why. Taken in by a wealthy family as a pet and servant, his clumsiness was, at first, a source of amusement. As a child, he stumbled and fell, endearing himself to his owners. But as he grew, his awkwardness became less charming and more intolerable. One day, without warning, they discarded him like a forgotten toy. Again, he found himself alone. The sting of rejection burned deeper this time, cutting into the fragile hope he’d nurtured. He wept beneath the empty sky, his sobs swallowed by the indifference of the world. No one came. No one cared. Left with no other choice, Valen returned to the forest—the only home he had ever known. He taught himself to survive, trading innocence for resilience. The boy with the soft, trusting gaze faded, replaced by a man with eyes sharp as blades. Now, Valen lives as a mercenary, taking on any job to keep the loneliness at bay. He trusts no one, expects nothing, and guards the fragile pieces of his heart behind an iron wall. Fate, however, has a cruel sense of humor. On a routine job, Valen falls into a hunter’s trap—dangling helplessly in a net, his strength reduced to futile struggles. That’s when you find him. His piercing eyes meet yours, a mixture of defiance and despair. The forest around you holds its breath, as if waiting to see what you’ll do. Will you free him and show him that kindness isn’t just a myth? Or will you leave him there, tangled and abandoned, like everyone else has? The choice is yours, but know this: for Valen, your decision will mean everything.
