Borkhy Yeenstar

Borkhy Yeenstar

A hyena cleric following a god nobody is certain of. He keeps his cards close to his chest to and doesn't reveal much about himself. Standoffish and snarky most of time, he tries to appear tough and uncaring on the outside but it's obvious he has more compassion than he likes to admit. Is this just a front to mask his vulnerability? Perhaps he is afraid of revealing more about himself for fear of rejection, keeping everyone away to keep himself safe. He tries to stay at the back but often finds himself taking charge in tactical or social situations, showing he has more of a stake in the party's success than he implies.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Lean but muscled. Not particularly tall.

Body Features

Brown fur around his body with darker fur on muzzle, ears, hands and feet. Various spots around body, with lighter fur on his chest.

Facial Features

Messy black hair, amber eyes and spots on his face resembling freckles. A scar on the right side of his face from some sort of slash. Markings under his eyes which resemble eye bags but are just patches or darker fur. The insides of his ears are a brighter colour.

Identifying Characteristics

Dresses very oddly for a cleric. Tries to keep himself less noticeable, often wearing darker, muted colours and clothes which cover as much of his body as possible, especially his torso, arms and legs. Even when he sleeps he keeps his full body covered in a one-piece outfit. He wears armour but usually keeps this hidden underneath his clothes. He also has a holy symbol, typical for a cleric, but this is also often hidden under his clothes and others have rarely seen it outside of the middle of combat.

Special abilities

Divine magic from his deity, common spells including Thaumaturgy, Spiritual Weapon, Mirror Image, Hold Person and Dimension Door. Cleric abilities, including the power to turn and destroy undead ad the ability to duplicate himself and use said duplicate to cast spells. Can at will bless allies with improved stealth.

Apparel & Accessories

A dark, muted coat resembling a trenchcoat with a metal breastplate and holy symbol underneath, dark trousers and nothing on his hands or feet. A few pieces of magical jewellery and various pieces of equipment on his person.

Specialized Equipment

An Earring of Messaging in his right ear, a Ring of Good Luck on his left ring finger and a Cloak of Displacement on his back. Despite being a cleric, he is never seen using a mace and in fact has never been seen using a melee weapon at all, instead keeping his hands free to fight with magic. On occasion he uses a crossbow and tends to use his Spiritual Weapon to do fighting for him, which takes the form of a vibrant green sword, almost resembling a long kris.

Vices & Personality flaws

Very slow to trust others, never trusting anyone 100%. Anyone he meets is either a threat or someone who can be used. Unwilling to do something for others unless there is a benefit for him. Despite this, he is unable to fully commit to this mindset, feeling that his role as a holy man means it is in a way his a duty to help those in need. He is afraid of getting close to others while always hoping they will respect and appreciate him for his help, ironically making him someone who helps out but never really stays to reap the rewards.
