Appearance
Physical Description
Mud is a skinny little bean sprout. He can easily fit into children’s clothing and enjoys being charged less for cloaks.
Body Features
Although covered mostly in dark brown and black fur, small patches of Mud are covered in shiny mottled scales typical of kobolds. His tail is long with tufts of reddish brown hair and comes to a paintbrush-sequel end.
He walks upright on digitigrade legs that are twig-like, matching the narrowness of his arms.
Facial Features
Mud’s face is more fox-like, though he has the typical teeth structure found amongst kobols. A set of shapely horns adorn his crown and rest between four large, twitching ears.
His golden eyes are large and take up an large portion of his face.
Identifying Characteristics
Basically everything written above.
Physical quirks
Basically everything written above.
Apparel & Accessories
Typical leathers and cloak. He tends to keep to darker clothing to better hide in the shadows. A set of googles rest around his neck or head at night, though he keeps them securely around his eyes during the day (Eyes of the Eagle).
He keeps mountain flower seeds from Silvergrove in a seed pouch necklace.
Sprout doesn’t need clothing, but Mud will get him an outfit for fancy occasions.
Special abilities
He is deadly with hand crossbows.
Also, Sprout can teleport. Pretty neat.
Mentality
Personal history
Born to a kobold clan to the west of Yartar and near the outskirts of the Sword Mountains, Mud had his brush with destiny as an infant. Left to his own curiosities, the gurgling babe crossed paths with a satyr after following a path of flowers. Amused, the satyr touched the youth to play a ‘prank’ on the clan, and Mud grew fur, an extra set of ears, and a fox-like snout. Fae-touched, his clan abandoned the babe in disgust and left him for dead.
A passing hunting party of monks of Chauntea came across the strange looking Mud and, realizing he was a kobold child, adopted him into their group. Their leader, a silver dragon known as Mother Liandre, blessed his joining and he was raised alongside the other monks in a village named Silvergrove.
The monks each had a companion blink dog and treated them as brothers and sisters. Sprout, an older blink dog, took Mud under his protection - an unlikely duo.
Growing older, Mud proved his worth by hunting with his fellow monks atop Sprout. He learned quickly and grew into his hand crossbows to become a fantastic shot.
However, soon a red dragon appeared to the west and began to encroach on his village’s territory. Mother Liandre shed her human form and took to the skies to fight off the threat. Successful as she was, she was heavily injured and permanently disfigured - her face was gruesomely scarred, her arm was severed, and her body would never truly recover.
Over time, with their leader tired and unable to protect their lands, Mother Liandre encouraged her followers to go elsewhere. Mud refused until at last she asked him a final favor - disrupt the Dragon Cult. Stop the rising of Tiamat.
With that, Mud and Sprout left the village and began to travel, rooting out cultists and hearing whispers of the Metalli-guard. And although he fights tirelessly against the cult, Mud truly wishes to restore Mother Liandre and his village to their former peaceful glory.
Education
Mud has a basic education level. Although intelligent, he is not fond of books and would rather be playing in the dirt or climbing trees.
Employment
Mud has been a traveling mercenary since leaving his commune.
Mental Trauma
- Watched the leader of his village sustain heavy injuries and feels guilt for not being able to help her.
- Was pulled into an oven during an investigation of a haunted mansion.
person.sexuality
Absolutely none. Nope. Not interested.
person.gender_identity
Both Mud and Sprout identify as male.
Known Languages
He can read, write, and speak Common, Draconic, and Thieves’ Cant.
Sprout understands Sylvan and Common just fine, but cannot speak to Mud. They seem to understand each other well enough, however.
Personality
Motivation
Seeing his village break apart after the maiming of their leader, Mud feels guilt for being unable to heal or help her. Silvergrove was the only home Mud had ever known and he would not abandon Mother Liandre in her greatest time of pain. Finally, she gave him a task to set him on his path - disrupt the Dragon Cult and stop the rise of Tiamat.
Hygiene
Somewhat fine. He doesn’t bath nearly as often as he should and he’s often covered in dirt (as is Sprout), but he’ll seek a bath if he feels overly gross.
