Ohpa Gumnan

Ohpa had a mundane upbringing. But as a young gnome he visited the Sword Coast Gladiatorial Arena where he was awed by the speed of the combat, the beauty of the bloodshed, the serenity of the cheering crowd. He became obsessed. He trained every day and eventually became a proper gladiator. He was loved for his artistry in the arena. He was strong enough to defeat an opponent in a few swings, but he enjoyed the drama. He lived for the feeling of an audience on the edge of their seats. But he still was obsessed with looking good, every swing needed to be perfect, in form and timing.
Eventually he found himself stuck in a rut, rarely losing a match but also rarely being paired against the arena’s greatest gladiators. He became depressed. His artistry had reached its limit. No matter his showmanship and style he was still a gnome in field dominated by orcs, half orcs, and goliaths; his stature, it seemed, had limited him.
He tried to find a new path. He fell in love with a young Tiefling, a cleric and follower of Bahamut. To win her favor, after failing to gain her attention with boasts of being a gladiator, he turned to follow her faith. He began to pray to Bahamut and found a new sense of purpose. While not an exemplary example of a paladin his skill in the arena lent to his new life well and his focus on style and appearance did lend him to be a very striking paladin, one that drew positiive attention from many. He was somewhat of a poster child. The shining paladin of Bahamut.
Sadly, his dedication failed to draw the attention of the cleric, who while she did notice him now, showed no romantic interest and instead left on a pilgrimage.
Ohpa lost touch with his faith, he was still a follower and fought in Bahamuts name, but without the desire to impress the Tiefling he realized he just didn’t care as much. He began to focus more on his strength again.
For the third time in his life he found himself on a new path. He became a sword for hire; he would mold the world in Bahamut’s image with the beauty of his blade. Those who made themselves his enemies would be crushed under his truth. If they were evil he would strike them down, and their death would be beautiful and terrifying.
For many years, Ohpa travelled across the Sword Coast, taking on several quests slaying beasts in the name of Bahamut. Despite his new-found success, wealth, and fame, Ohpa found his new path, still lacking. His listlessness would slowly grow until he could not ignore it any longer.
Recently he had heard that a Tiefling cleric had recently come to Waterdeep, and so he too has come to Waterdeep. Unfortunately, it seems he was too late and the Tiefling had already left to another village named Nightstone.
Ohpa eager to follow after her once more, found himself lacking in gold and would first need to restore his purse before heading for Nightstone, but fortunately for him opportunities can be found at every corner.
Vishkumaran Rajashankar, a very odd Mountain Dwarf, approached him for a job. Specifically, to join his party to head down to Nightstone on a patrol. Ohpa, was of course all too eager to say yes and so joined this party of strangers, to search after his love, the Tiefling Cleric, Hunt Kaimarir. After series of event this patrol turned into an epic quest to discover what had hppened tot he ginats and their god Annam. on this journey Ohpa was endowed with special powers by Bahamut. this was the start of Ohpa finding a new path. Eventually ohpa nad his allies restored balance to the Giants, defeated a kranken and ancient blue dragon. Many years later, after been sent to many planes on behalf of Bahamut, Ohpa arrive on Ithica called to fill the role as Bahamut's Chosen. Ohpa arrive on Ithica in 1302 DC. He met Izret in his early 20 and was imprseed by the pressence the young man had, he joined him in quest following Izret until he retired. In the yearsOhpa traveled with Izret, he was reconzied by the The Church of Bahamut for his direct connection to the Platinum Dragon and was eventually named the churchs leader, a responsibility he basically ignored. He eventually joined Kirin House in Snowbright and became the house's face, though not technically its leader. After Izrets reitremnet Ohpa has hopped between Palmata(City), Ironhead, and Snowbright. Nearly 200 years old now Ohpa has a story for every occasion but none could be sure what was true as so little of his achievements were from when he was in Izret's party. What is undeniable is the bond he hold with Bahamut and he unrelenting rage against any who stood in opposition of his "Platinum Bro".
