background:
His father, D’xitiik, was the head of a thieves’ guild in the city of Nathlekh south of the Long Arm lake. His mother was enslaved to father as one of his human pleasure pets. She was murdered by T’zirik when she was going to turn him in for “breaking free” from his servitude to his father. He had been kept as a gladiator in his father’s arena. In the process of freeing himself from his father’s grasp, he killed his mentor a renown thieves’ guild enforcer and gladiator –Herstil Horgenthol a half orc on the streets of the city in a one-on-one skirmish with his father’s goons. The weapon he carries is the weapon of his mentor taken from his Herstil’s still warm body. This killing has brought some fame to T’zirik in the city of his birth as the half-orc had become quite a menace and disruption to the city. It also brought the wrath of his father.
His father has put a price on his head of 1k gp if brought back alive for “justice.” T’zirik has fled the city and headed to Lundeth north of the Farsea Swamps in hopes of leaving his past behind. Instead of taking a direct path he hoped to evade his father’s men by heading south and then west, stopping at the small settlements along the way to indulge himself. While skirting the land between Land’s Mouth and the Giant’s Ruin Mountains he was visited by Kossuth or atleast he believes it was Kossuth himself. His tattoos were on his skin when he awoke and nestled on his chest was Jinx his spirit guide. As he traveled the remainder of the way to Proskur, he was taught to use magic drawn straight from Kossuth himself. Jinx was his conduit to his God. He is still unsure what the phoenix represents but is searching for any information on the legendary bird with hopes of learning about his other holy marking. During his brief stop in Proskur, an agent of Aden Grimdawn caught up with him and delivered Grimdawn’s letter. Intrigued he has waited for the 15th day of Mirtul. He has already found the Wretched Wench and had multiple conversations with Gedard in hopes of learning more about this Aden. He is wary of the letter being a trap set by his father but curious enough to want to see if it is and just what his father will do to recapture him. appearance and personality:
T’zirik nearly 7.6 height makes him large for many of the settlements he has passed through. Unfortunately, it also makes it fairly easy for his father’s hunters to follow his trail once they pick it up again. His skin marks him as the offspring of a Fire Yai Oni with its’ mottled black and red coloring. He is covered in thick skin which appears like the crust of cooling lava not yet quite solid. This effect makes him seem like he is bursting out of his skin. Ridges adorn his head leaving an impression of flowing lava instead of hair. He moves like molten stone, swift and overbearing. People tend to move out of his way afraid that he will not stop his forward momentum.
He has a particularly agile and long tail, reaching nearly 8 ft long. He has learned to use it to help pick pockets and other small legerdemain in order to live in comfort at the expense of others. It twitches almost constantly. His eyes are deep read with no pupil and his tongue matches their coloration exactly both these in turn match the color seen in the cracks of his skin. His voice is calm and quiet until enraged at which point it booms forth in commanding/demanding resonance. Probably just as important as his looks is his need for pleasure and worldly wealth. He becomes depressed and tired when he cannot indulge in the desires of his body whether that be drinking, womanizing, or indulging in some other form of bodily pleasure. This also has left a reputation behind him in the small settlements he has passed through on his escape from Nathlekh. He rarely has less than 500 gp on him just so he can afford what ever he wants to indulge in at the moment. He is quick to observe what is going on around him but rarely calm enough to negotiate without making threats or intimidating those around him. However, he has learned that he can often trade the alchemical concoctions he makes for the pleasures he desires and this is his usual means of subsisting before he resorts to intimidation and usually with better results. Tattoos:
There is a black and purple tattoo of a hedgehog on his right hand that glows as if it has been "engraved" by ifrit fire ink. His left hand contains an orange and flaming red phoenix bird in full regalia. This also appears to be "engraved" of the same ink. On his chest is a full ying yang symbol that covers from shoulder to shoulder. The symbol is the hedgehog and the phoenix in opposition to each other. This is "engraved" by bright colored ink that glows like his others. |
