31 Days Character Creation Challenge Day 20: ARC Doom

This character is (a) Bauk, a Slavic troll or bogeyman. We're still on ARC Doom. 

Bauk eats humans, but Bauk is not the enemy of them. Humans eat cow. Are humans enemies of cow? Bauk reminds humans that darkness is dangerous. That there are hungry things outside their ugly firelight. Bauk is not afraid of fire, but fire is enemy of Bauk. Bright and painful. Maybe Bauk drives humans into the arms of fire?

QUESTIONS

What makes them different from others?

Bauk is different from other Bauk in that Bauk find that adults taste as good as children.

There are three rumors about them. What are they and who believes it?

1: Bauk eats naughty children. Children are fed this rumor, often by grandparents. 

2: Bauk is the form the Archenemy takes on Earth. Priests in small villages believe and spread this one

3: Bauk is humankind’s ancient brother, one that did not take to agriculture, houses and fire. Scholars and wise sages consider this fact. 

What was the most painful lesson your hero had to learn?

That food can be scarce and winter cold. Bauk needs weak humans, despite being abhorred by them.
