Background:
In the darkness,Zsestrian was catching his breath, legs shaking for hours, maybe days, of running. Suddenly, a river of voices, whispers and echoes entered his ears and flooded his mind.
He turned his head, and there it stood a huge gate, made of an obsidian-like material, its shape twisted in nightmarish ways. Zsestrian could do nothing but stare at it with tear-filled eyes, paralyzed by fear. He still couldn't move when the darkness, no, pure blackness, from inside the gate grappled him and started to bring him inside it.
And then he saw it.
A scarf, a little trail of orange was shimmering like a road in the darkness that surrounded him. Zsestrian followed it with his gaze and saw a raven, which was staring back at him with its black eyes...

Zsestrian woke up sweating "Oh, don't worry Crow, it was just the same dream as always. I'm used to it!" said to the raven with a broad smile.
"Not worried" croaked Crow.
"Oh, thanks, how could I live without your moral support" snapped Zsestrian sarcastically before erupting in a heartful laugh.
He sprung up from his bedroll "You know" said while washing his face " I don't mind your witty remarks, but I can't understand why you can't open up on my past. And don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about". The crow shifted uncomfortably, as much as a raven can shift.
"I mean you could have some pity of a poor amnesiac. I can't remember who I am, how I got here" Zsestrian continued while putting on his orange scarf "Only clues I got is that weird recurring nightmare, this scarf, and you, so you could be at leas..."
Zsestrian stopped when Crow assaulted him with a flurry of pecking "I GOT IT I GOT IT" yelled "I'll shut up!".

After a moment of silence Crow croaked :"Near here, Heldren,about a week or so, Swallotail festival". The name rang familiar to Zsestrian0" Wasn't that a festival in honor of Desna or som..."
Hundreds of confused, hazy images flashed in Zsestrian mind. "I...I remember! I went there more than one time!" He entusiastically kissed Crow on its beak "So you ARE my friend after all!".
That earned a peck from his feathery companion, but he almost didn't mind.

Appearance:
Something is very odd,almost unsettling in Zsestrian's appearence. He appears as he had been...drained of his colors. His skin ,exceptionally pale, makes a stark contrast with his jet-black hair, and his eyes are of a blue so light to seem almost silver.

Maybe to sway the attention away from his unnerving features, Zsestrian prefers to wear colorful and eye-cacthing clothes. Something that is always present in Zsestrian attire is a long, orange scarf, rich with green and pink embroideries. Even if he doesn't still know it, this is a Kapenia, a Varisian ceremonial scarf, and probably the greatest hint that Zsestrian has to uncover his past.

Personality:
Zsestrian could be called the embodiment of Happy-go-luckyness. Always ready to lend a hand, he's usually not someone to worry about things, and has lived his almost complete lack of memories rather peacefully.
Unfortunately for him, Zsestrian posses almost gnome-level curiosity, something that has put him in danger more than one time. It could even, maybe, be the cause of his amnesia...

Biting Shadows Hex - ranged touch vs target in or adjacent to dim light. Deals 3d4 cold damage + 1/2 per caster level. 30ft range, half damage to objects
