Shotz was born to wealthy, high ranking parents in the oceanside city of Highbourne.  She was always intrigued by the forces of nature and how they could be harnessed by man, changed, altered, and put to use.  She was a quick study and graduated at the top of her class in alchemy. 

In celebration of her graduation her parents took her on a vacation to the forests of Druid’s Watch.  But, dark times were ahead for this small family. They were ambushed on the road, her parents wounded, captured, and Shotz left for dead by Nubja and his evil minions. 

When she awoke, Shotz rose up and set forth to find the evil creatures who had spirited away her parents. She tracked them through the deep forests, across the plains, to the foothills of the mountains near Highbourne. All the while, Shotz agonized over the possibility that her parents could be dead and in her long trek Shotz’ soul was frozen with hatred. 

She finally arrived at a dark cavern set well back in the hills and settled down in concealing bushes to watch. She observed the comings and goings of the small, vicious goblins until night fell and all was quiet except for a couple of drowsy sentries posted at the mouth of the cave.

Shotz had never used her alchemy for violence, she had been taught to use her potions and spells to help others, use the explosive power to remove obstructions and to protect. But today, knowing only anger, Shotz strode towards that cave. The fire from her exploding potions spread from screaming goblin to screaming goblin, and the quiet night was suddenly ablaze with the agony of burning monsters and flares of power.

Steadily she worked her way into the cave, calling upon all her powers to keep herself healed and to mow down any obstruction in her path. She reached the main cavern where the rest of the tribe had gathered to confront the intruder. The massed together and advanced on Shotz, weapons held at the ready.

Shotz glared upon them with frosty eyes, preparing herself for their attack. Suddenly, a weak cry from across the room drew her attention. She looked beyond the monsters and spied her parents, chained to the wall, slumping against their bonds. Upon seeing their wounds, the vivid streaks of blood from the torture they had thus far endured, something snapped inside of Shotz. Throwing back her head she let loose a terrifying scream as she raised her arms high in the air. Calling upon powers deep inside her, and crying out to the Gods, she pulled from the very air a deadly mass of lightning which she flung at the goblins standing before her. Over and over she drew that power….fire….frost….lightning, and with each shot the monsters were destroyed, dropping in waves before her.

At last, she dropped her arms and stood panting with the burning after effects of the power she had unleashed. Then she rushed to her parents and held them to her, letting her tears of relief mingle with those of her mother.

From that day forth she vowed to make it so no one else would have to go through that pain, by using her potions and spells to remove from the world every blood thirsty monster she came across.  On her journeys she gathered many like minded people around her, and joins with them often to fight the hordes surrounding them.

On one excursion she found herself infected by a lionwere she had been fighting. At first she thought to rid herself of the vile infection, but when she found out the many benefits the "curse" could grant her, she embraced her new identity and became even more feared by the evil monsters…beware the stalking "Metakitty"!
