Shivkah and her sister were born in a family of gladiators. Her father gained his freedom by raising enough money fighting in the arena of variosu cities. And when he set himself and his wife free, he couldn´t leave the arena and started to fight as a free gladiator. He raised fame, glory and, at the end, death. The "Black Lion" perished and left his wife and the two girls behind.

Shivkah´s sister, that was older than her, went mad at their mother when she married again. She took her little sister and escaped the city to live on their own. And she did so for many years, training her sister in the gladiator ways of combat. Both of them were strong girls with a stubborn attitude. That attitude helped Shivkah to survive when her sister died exploring some mines in search for trasure.

So, Shivkah has been taking care of herself since she was 15 years old. Taking many jobs and doing things the best way she could, always dreaming with being a glorious gladiator, like her father was. But now she is involved in a prophecy that envolves the end of all living things, and brings visions of a new world only for the undead. A dark threathen called Kyuss, a ghost from ancient times, brings promises of ruin and decay. Will Shivkah and her friends be strong enough to frustate Kyus´s plans of returning to the matherial world?

Shivkah is my current character. We are playing the campaign "Age of Worms", in an adaptation to the world of Golarion, which is the main world in all Paizo´s settings. She is a fighter specialized in two handed weapons -yeah, outstandingly big swords-, with a special love in making her public enjoy the fight. She enjoys turning a melee into a potential show for any witness. But she has a trouble: she´s not afraid to death. Bad thing when you live in such a dangerous world, and when you confront such a doomy enemy.
