Biography: Outside of Eyl'syan, Salem Bones was a bit of an underground celebrity; a horror novelist who has made considerable contribution to the genre, Salem had written several novels as well as provided consultations on indie films and video games. His ideas were quite famous. However, the ideas weren't actually his, or rather he prayed to God they weren't.
Since his mid-teens, Salem had been suffering perpetual nightmares every night. Psychiatrists were not able to help him or find the root of his problems, only being able to go so far as to suggest he write them down in order to provide an outlet for them. One jokingly suggested that he try to sell them if they're good enough on paper to at least get something out of it, though both he and Salem never thought that would one day turn out to be a possibility. His novels turned out to be quite the minor success, making him somewhat of a big name in the horror community, which came as a small blessing. However, the nightmares that had been affecting him were absolutely relentless and started to have an effect on his psyche. Initially, Salem had started to question his very identity; his values, his beliefs, and even his level of sanity. Part of him wasn't sure if his mind just kept having these horrific nightmares because of some subconscious desires or if it was just some catastrophic bad luck that wouldn't make it go away. Salem had become a recluse, one that took up smoking and drinking coffee at an unhealthy level as a way to cope with his condition as best as he could.
As an act of desperation, Salem had turned to the Occult to find a possible explanation for his condition: real medicine wasn't working, so this was all he had left. The more he researched demons and monsters online, the more he started to find a common thread, both on the internet and in his dreams/books, and had begun to entertain the possibility that he was, in fact, being cursed by a demon. Although he was skeptical of the whole thing for a long time, and was still somewhat skeptical even then, the link between all his findings did subconsciously make him start to believe in creatures and monstrosities that lurk outside the human realm as he set off to confirm the rumors of the hidden city of monsters. It wasn’t so much that he genuinely believed in it so much as he needed to believe in it. Perhaps this is why the Eyls'ayn opened its doors to welcome him, revealing all its dark secrets to him, as he loaded his handgun sand set off to find the demonic source who had been cursing him for many years.
Talents: What is their starting Talents? They start with one each and gain one per level.

Learned Skills: - Cooking - A guy needs to feed himself.
Crafting Skills: - Spell Scrolls - While he doesn't know how to do this yet, Salem will eventually learn magic at a level where he can contain it in pure text form.
