Smoke Stormcloud

*Pronoun: He
* Phonetic Distinctions:
** Growly Voice
**Sometimes struggles with the letter "r", having a hard time pronouncing it/rolling it.
* Pronunciation Guide: Make your voice a bit growly (don't go too far, though) and roll the r once every couple of sentences. 
* Mannerisms that will help other DMs portray the character consistently: Smoke often feels like he is not enough and tries to stay out of other peoples' way; he normally is gentle and friendly, when using his Way of Shadow though, his eyes turn to a stormy Yellow and he becomes colder.
* Influences: Newt Scamander (being also quite timid and not the best at interacting with other people)

*Tattoo: Smoke's guild tattoo is on his left upper arm.
== Personality ==

*Ideals: He practices the monastery arts he was taught by his master and tries his best to continue learning new arts. 
*Flaws: He was bullied by the other Tabaxi during his time in the forest and tries to avoid any interaction with Tabaxi if possible. He doesn't know where he is from and who his parents are, making him often feel like he doesn't belong anywhere. 
* Family Members:
** unknown father and mother
**King of the Prowling Wilds Clan
**Queen of the Prowling Wilds Clan
**
*Friends:
**Master ? (doesn't know his name, only that he is from a guild in Niqamui).
* Noble: Thanks to your noble birth, people are inclined to think the best of you. You are welcome in high society, and people assume you have the right to be wherever you are. The common folk make every effort to accommodate you and avoid your displeasure, and other people of high birth treat you as a member of the same social sphere. You can secure an audience with a local noble if you need to. Smoke grew up in Cairn Forest as a foster child of the King of the Prowling Wilds Clan and Queen of the Prowling Wilds Clan. Thanks to that he can exercise some minor noble authority, however, he mostly chooses not to unless absolutely necessary because he doesn't remember his time there fondly.
*Social Class: Despite being from a noble family, Smoke doesn't tell people he was adopted by the king and queen and doesn't live a wealthy lifestyle. 
*Occupation: Smoke works as a instructor, training people in some of the basic martial arts used by Monks. 
*He doesn't live in a house of his own, but rather in the training dojo he was provided with to train people. He sleeps on a mat he made himself called a Futon, something he saw his master use when they met. 
== Background ==
*Smoke is Snow Leopard Tabaxi, a rare breed that is not often found outside of the far-away Siofen Tundra. He didn't grow up in this Tundra though; instead he grew up in a forested area (Cairn Forest) among Tabaxi that looked and behaved quite differently than he did. He was adopted by his foster parents, the rulers of this forest, at a young age and doesn't really remember anything before that. Due to his different appearance he had a hard time growing up, because his peers didn't treat him as they did the other Tabaxi living there. Even though he was a "noble", he didn't enjoy the perks that came with that. He spent a lot of time away from the other Tabaxi and exploring the woods. During one of these times he came across a traveller who he quickly befriended. The traveller quenched Smoke's thirst for knowledge about the outside world, couldn't answer his question about where other Tabaxi like him lived however. Instead, he taught him the ways of martial arts, which Smoke quickly absorbed and became quite proficient with, becoming a Monk and learning some monastery traditions from the travellers before he went on with his travels. The only thing Smoke remembers about the mysterious man, was that he had a tattoo on his upper left arm and that he belonged to a guild from Niqamui.
*Once he was old enough, Smoke then went on to bid his life in the forest farewell to learn more about what is out there and to find the guild and the mysterious man again. His eyes change when he uses his abilities of the Shadow Monk, from a clear icy blue to a stormy dark yellow during the use of his abilities and change back after he exits combat/Shadow Stance.
