Gaia the Druid
Terrarian
Hello, mortals. I am a Druid... as well as a Dryad. If you have not already been acquainted with a Dryad- we are nymphs, or spirits of nature- often taking humanoid forms and protecting what is ours which would be the tree of which we were born from. A lot of Dryads are merely concerned with protecting their forest from wandering humans and other harmful creatures, but there are a few of us that seek some more.... proactive methods. For example, there are the infamous Dryads of Heroes. Most of you are likely well-acquainted with these... traditional females. They often dress in... very little. But they are well versed in their job nonetheless.
My job is a little more... low-key. I am not an emergency standby but a first responder- I am a purger of the dreaded Corruption. No, i am not a hero, an explorer, or an adventurer; I am just a Druid doing her job. I do not seek fame nor recognition, but Ash (my guide) recommended that I "Take a break" and practice using "the internet". He believes I am overexerting myself. He calls me a "work alcoholic" or something along those lines. Anyways, where was I? Ah, yes; I am a Druid that purges the corruption when the need arises. There is no cure for the virus that is the corruption; so it's up to me, and others (I think) to prevent the spread before adventurers arrive.
I personally have no problem with humans or adventurers, but they tend to get a little too... enthusiastic, about their chosen occupation. They start out alright- but then next thing you know you have mass murders of guides and civilians due to the wall of flesh sweeping through- and angry cultists running around as well. Needless to say, things get messy real fast. So I try to be quick with my job before any attention is drawn.
But the current lands I'm in.... They aren't normal. Well- correction- I underestimated what the lands would throw at me. Now I am facing what I believe is a Corrupted Dryad (a MALE at that) who seeks to spread the Corruption and eradicate me in the process- I have also sensed the presence of the Eye of Cthulhu. At this rate I will have to take an Adventurer's course of action. But i will do it because it is my job.
