Thomas Elliot

Thomas Elliot (a.k.a. The Burned Man)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Athletic Frame, with a thin build. Underweight, but healthy.

Body Features

Covered in burns and scar tissue that cause consistent pain while in open air. The degree of burn damage caused some of the bone to be visible on the forearm, and above the ankle. What remains of his skin sticks to his muscle making him appear quite thin.   The body has undergone a metamorphosis upon Thomas's death; the blood congealed and caused the muscles to appear permanently black, like a chared corpse. However, the body's original soul, Cassidy, has reclaimed the body, causing her visage to overlay the remains of the body, replacing the skin that has burned away with an opaque soft blue.

Facial Features

Heavily burned and damaged skin; he has no lips and a partial nose. His left eye was removed as it was too damaged to be left [pun] in. His eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair are nonexistent. While both ears were burned and morphed from heat, his hearing was unaffected. Miraculously, His right eye, a bright teal blue, is undamaged, though all around it is deeply burned. Parts of the skull can be seen around the cheek bones, and lower jawline.

Identifying Characteristics

His burned & mutilated body; the near total covering of his body in bandages. His bright teal eye.

Physical quirks

His eye conveys a lot of emotion, often more than his words do. The bandages he wears help ease his pain, but any physical touch irritates the burns causing an amount of pain equal to the force given. Every step he takes is calculated, as it too causes him reasonable pain.

Special abilities

People tend to avoid or ignore his presence, either due to his outfit being a servant of Ilmater or due to his bandage wrappings.

Apparel & Accessories

He wears a minimum of two layers. The first constant is his bandages, wrapped carefully over his entire body, neck, and head, leaving only his right eye visible. He has perfected his technique allowing him to wrap his hands completley without restricting his reflexes. The second constant is a set of studded leather that resembles a vest and thigh guards. He often wears pastor's vestments with coarse burlap slacks underneath the studded leather as well as a overcoat of matching burlap overtop.

Specialized Equipment

To ease his pain, and to hide his deformities, he wraps himself in bandages and wears his clothes and armor overtop of them.   Replaces his bandages during a rest, taking 30 minutes to doff the old and 30 minutes to don the new. [Can not be done while walking, but can do other things if stationary (attunement, identification, etc.)]   [Long Rest: sleeps for 6 hours, taking 1 hour before and 1 hour after to change bandages; during which he will keep watch.]
