Cabochon

[Cabochon]

Cabochon Appearance Race: Pycon Gender: Male Age: 4 seasons old Birthday: 60th of Fall in 516 AV Birthplace: Alvadas Beginning Appearance: If Cabochon could stand up straight, his height would come a couple inches above a foot tall. However, due to the current state of his form, he is hunched over, with only one arm and leg to allow him to walk. A shorter arm has begun to grow out of his other shoulder, and a stub of a leg is just beginning to sprout. The fossil jewel he was given is placed over his chest area. His head takes on a simplistic resemblance to porpoises, his pupils carved by indention into his eyes. Considering his age, he’s grown very much in very little time. Character Concept Cabochon, like many other Pycon, is trying to discover who he really is. Unlike others, however, the one thing that sets him apart is his heritage. Not necessarily what he knows about his ancestors, but what has been passed down to him. Cabochon was the name he chose when his father gave him a jewel brandished by his lineage. Therefore, this precious stone was now in the only child’s possession, and the magnitude of its significance profoundly changed him. Now, Cabochon has adorned himself with the gem, the fossil jewel that is so unlike him, and yet such a part of him. Character History In his constantly changing world, Cabochon's life was nothing more than the city he was born in: Alvadas. As the young Pycon grew, he was highly intimidated by the confusing lifestyle of the city, and often found himself relying more on his parents than expected. As he grew, he discovered his necessities and appropriated to them accordingly. When his parents left to return to their adventuring lifestyles, the young and innocent Pycon was left to fend for himself, alongside the few things his parents taught him. Backtracking: If any Pycon experienced adventure and heroism, his parents would have definitely fit those margins. Explorers and fighters, they were, and all too ready to taste the open air and test their limits! His mother was easily the instigator, the brawler, the one to start the fight and end it. His father, on the other hand, was the negotiator, the conversationalist, the one placing the offers on the table. While they both had their strengths and their weaknesses, they both instructed Cabochon with what they felt was necessary to survive. Their favorite thing to do was tell Cabochon stories! One could fill a novelette with all the tales, life lessons and personal adventures they revealed to him! While not much for detail, they did still emphasize its importance, whether pertaining to anything in particular or not. Their favorite kinds of stories to tell involved Avanthal, and their recollections have partially inspired Cabochon to one day visit it for himself.

NPC's Name: Thaddeus Moorwater Face Claim: Calle Strand Race: Human, Svefra DoB: 469 AV (49 years old) PoB: West Street, Zeltiva Title: n/a Skills: 20 XP - Sailing, 20 XP - Weapon: Cutlass, 10 XP - Cartography Gnosis: n/a Additional Info: Has a deep wound scar on the left side of his stomach and leg. Missing his left eye. Currently a Rez addict. (AWAITING APPROVAL) Backstory : Thaddeus Sunswell was born in the bay city of Zeltiva, when the ship had docked to restock supplies. "Moorwater" came from the pod he had joined after separating from his parents at age 21. He became close friends with the first mate, which eventually led into a friendship with the Lia, Gretchen Moorwater. Her primary goal as a sailor was to ensure the proper conduct of trade. She and her crew took it upon themselves to weed out ships who oppressed merchant traders. On one event, an enemy sloop attacked Gretchen's mother's barge, looting it and almost sinking the ship. They learned that one of the hideouts the pirates occupied was in Alvadas, and Thaddeus took it upon himself to avenge the acts committed. Against her wishes, she allowed him to go, and when he found them, a fight broke out. Two of the men escaped, but not before suffering from cuts and bruises. Thaddeus himself had serious injuries, and a bystander took him in to heal his wounds. They utilized Rez to slow down his nerves and help him relax. This was what fueled his addiction, and after coming into contact with his old pod, what made them leave him behind in Alvadas.
