      – Tater Tot

**Tater Tot** is a dragonborn cleric and a member of Fruit Salad.

She was raised on the ship *Banana* alongside her sibling, before a mutiny was staged, and she was forced to walk the plank. Tater Tot met Radish when she washed up on his island, and sailed on the ship the *Vegenator* to Bogville.

## Introduction

*To many young clerics, healing is the most important part of their life. However, this draconic warrior focuses on battle, worshipping Bahamut, the dragon god of justice and nobility. Tater Tot is easily equipped to deal with an undead infested town such as Bogville, as she had to do recently. However, she didn't do it alone, and as a member of the adventuring party Fruit Salad and the leader of a mercenaries-for-hire business of the same name, she continues to work alongside her companions to bring justice into the world.*

## Description

### Appearance

Tater Tot is a dragonborn proudly standing at a tall 7.1 metres. Deep scarlet scales cover her body, broken by a softer golden underbelly, and two curled ram horns extend from her head, twisted around her ears, from which dangles several earrings and pieces of golden jewellery. Round wire glasses are perched on her nose. She dons a pale cream poet's shirt, complete with a ruffle and collar, covered by a navy-blue coat embroidered with gold trimming. From underneath the coat pokes a long tail, which trails on the ground behind her. Tater Tot wears fawn brown pants, complete with a leather belt and lots of pockets. Her clawed feet are hidden under custom-made boots, comfortable and perfect for running.

### Personality

Tater Tot is a kind soul, and she's particularly sympathetic towards children. She's adaptable; a side effect of growing up on a pirate ship, where efficiency and adaptability are key for everyday survival. Of course, this also means she's hardworking- when this dragonborn sets her mind to something, it'll get done, no matter what. She's fairly moralistic, and will judge you, although this doesn't make her the best person to talk to if you need positivity. Tater Tot is *stubborn*- she'll put her foot down and stick to her beliefs, no matter what. However, she can be blunt and brutally honest- she won't sugarcoat any bad news. Additionally, she's impulsive; she often leaps into battle without thinking, which has led to some very awkward situations. Finally, Tater Tot is very self-critical, always putting herself down, which her companions do not approve of, always reminding her of her own self-worth.

### Combat Personality

If you're fighting against Fruit Salad, Tater Tot's the one to look out for. With a swinging hammer and heavy armour, she's often said to be the strongest in her party, but she constantly denies this. She does have a ferocious reputation that precedes her wherever she goes, but she's not very strategic in battle, just swinging her hammer and hoping it'll hit something. Tater Tot is confident in her ability to hold her own, if not much else. Despite being a cleric, Tater Tot won't heal her companions unless their injuries are serious; or, she wouldn't. Before Aurora's death, the bard would use her magic to heal minor injuries, but now that responsibility falls solely on Tater Tot's shoulders. She works well with her fellow adventurers; her and Bob have arsonist tendencies, and they'll likely set any flammable object on fire if they have the chance (thanks, draconic heritage). Tater Tot and Radish move like well-oiled gears due to their long history, Radish moving in to do quick unarmed strikes before she disarms them with a powerful blow. Acktone likes to ride on her shoulders, using the height to rain daggers down on their enemies. As stated before, the dragonborn and Aurora worked well together before her death.

## Biography

### Backstory

A fierce pirate, the dragonborn known as Tater Tot sailed the seas upon the trusty warship Banana, built especially for her and a marvel of ingenious scientific creation. Serving as one of the strongest members on her crew, and the ship’s resident healer, Tater Tot amassed a large collection of treasure, which she protected fiercely due to her dragonborn nature. Her happy relationship with her sister, Chip, and her crew ended when a mutiny erupted upon the deck of the Banana, led by its very own first mate, Ryaan Shortsword, a powerful sorcerer and magic-wielder. Forced to watch her beloved sister and captain sink beneath the waves, when Tater Tot was pushed onto the plank by the laughing sorcerer, she swore never to forget this day. Many days later, Tater Tot washed up on the shore of a rather small island, on which the elven monk that would become her greatest ally lived in seclusion. Injured and alone, unable to call upon the god she served due to the island’s unique location, the dragonborn cleric encountered Radish. Living together for quite a long time, Radish and Tater Tot became close friends and trusted allies. Later, an adventurer named Onion Onyon suffered the same fate, and the three became a close knit group, before Onion departed, leaving Tater Tot and Radish alone once more. Determined to escape from the island, Tater Tot and Radish built their very own ship, dubbed the Vegenator, and sailed away, finding themselves in a haunted town named Bogville, and a group of adventurers determined to end the town’s suffering.

### Fruit Salad

Tater Tot and Radish entered the village, and were confused by how quiet it was. The villagers were scared, and the whole area seemed like a layer of gloom had settled over it. A child named Bobby ran towards them in fright, saying how there were monsters in the woods. The pair decided to investigate, and met up with Ackton, Bob and Aurora in a nearby milkshake bar, who were also investigating. They teamed up, and began the trek towards the mansion at the top of the woods.

They were told to turn back by a strange figure, but ignored them. They also got some free cabbages from a lady on the side of the road. Once they reached the mansion, they were ambushed by three skeleton horses, with their riders. Tater Tot took two of them down with her warhammer and fire breath respectively. She also busted down the door and took the lock as a souvenir. There was a sign on the path; 'don't touch the grass.' The party, which had called themselves Fruit Salad, decided to crawl alongside the walls to get to the other side, but Bob fell down. The rest of them jumped down to defend him, fighting the hands which had sprung from the grass, and were attempting to immobilise them. Once entering the building, they had to contend with a swarm of rats.

Inside the Doum Mansion, there was a courtyard with a marble statue of a human, with its hands over its eyes. Black sludge was leaking out of it, which Radish tried to eat. Aurora discovered a strange potion, and she drank it. Ackton found some candles, and summoned Ash, a small worm-like demon. While they were doing this, Lord Doum, and ancient vampire, came in. They battled him, and Aurora unlocked some new powers, that let her take his blood. This slowly turned her, and she became a vampire. In the end, Tater Tot had to deal the killing blow.

Later, they met Faelyn, a druid, whom they established a mercenary group with. Fruit Salad took ownership of the mansion and boarded the *Vegenator*, ready to sail off to new adventures.

### Scarlet Moon

At some point, Tater Tot and the rest of Fruit Salad visited the ancient Council of Aureate, who wrote the book *the Fruit Salad Chronicles*. She also hid a message in the back of the book and left it in an abandoned wizard's study near the Auxier Desert, which the Flame Syndicate would later find. This is unusual, as Fruit Salad resided on a different world from Tel'Ar, yet there is evidence of their presence there.

Chip’s appearance in Sanctum suggests that Tater Tot is present nearby. A young child is shown dressing up as her.
