Cael

character sheet
Player: TyrannoStorm
Race: Necropolitan Phrenic Kobold
Class: Seer 5/Anarchic Initiate 8
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Appearance: Besides the unnatural white of his scales (a side-effect of his undeath), his appearance is that of a Kobold in his prime. However, this belies his true nature. He wears loose attire, and it is all black. He is as small as all members of his race. He never blinks.

Personality: Cael believes that free will and choice is an illusion. People are controlled by their emotions, their allegiances, their beliefs. Freedom can never truly be attained, except by the loss of all emotional attachments. He is not emotionless, but totally and completely suppresses his conscience and morals whenever necessary in the pursuit of his ideal. He is inquisitive and curious, valuing all knowledge, whether attaining it involves investigating an ancient ruin, holding a conversation with others, or simply tapping the cosmic energy of the multiverse. He resents being controlled or manipulated.

Background: Cael was born as Dragonwrought Kobold, destined for great things. He lived happily with his tribe for many years, and distinguished himself through his genius. He was eventually chosen to become the chieftain of his tribe. He led for many decades, before necromancers attacked their village. They slew dozens, and used the rest for their experiments. Cael was a member of the latter group. The necromancers tried a new experimental method of creating undead slaves, but Cael retained his mind. He craftily pretended that he was a true cadaver instead of a zombie. He was tossed into a deep grave with the other failures. He was trapped there for years, entombed in the dirt, trapped between life and death. With no physical sensations to rely on, he began to meditate. His mind turned inward, unleashing latent psychic energy, before turning outward. He began to receive visions of the world, and the future. It was then that he realized: there is no free will, or choice, or justice in the world. Eventually, erosion ate away at his prison, and he was once again free to walk the world.
