Roux

Roux is an Enderian half-blood, exiled from the End for reasons they refuse to talk about and now wandering the Overworld as a traveling inventor. Roux is easily agitated, determined, and flighty, easily holding grudges or getting mad at people, though deep down they strive for everyone to be happy with them.

## Appearance

(I'll draw them soon I swear ;w;) Roux is, unlike most Enderians, about average height, standing at 5'11 (as apposed to Enderians' usual 9'8). Also unlike most Enderians, Roux has a fairly normal frame, as apposed to most Enderians' skinny, malnourished appearance, and is fairly strong as well. They wear a purple, gold-lined coat over a white ruffled shirt, greenish-gray trousers with a gold-plated green belt, and brown hiking boots. They also wear green-tinted safety goggles on their forehead, a leather glove on their left hand, and bandages on their right hand after an accident involving some gears and a poorly placed on-switch. Roux's hair is black as night and goes down to their shoulders, mostly tied up in a pony tail, and they have blunt bangs which they cut themself (it shows, just a little). Their eyes are thin and piercing, one glowing a familiar purple, and the other glowing a strange green.

## Personality

Roux is a strange character, to say the least, known for being protective of their friends and home, showing off their (often mundane) inventions with incredible enthusiasm, and trying to make deals with people whenever they feel possible. Roux has a disdain for the Ocean, being afraid of water, but harbors no ill will towards mer-folk. They make friends very rarely, considering those they trade with "associates" and not much more, but will often form closer connections with other exiles or outcasts, sympathizing with their troubles. For those they do become friends with, they are protective of them (maybe a little TOO protective), trying to help them whenever possible and keep them out of trouble or danger. Roux is often reckless, though this is usually out of impatience or carelessness rather than confidence. Some have noted that Roux becomes uncharacteristically quiet, dismissive or "absent" when called a halfblood or asked about the cause their exile.

## History

Roux is unwilling to talk about their history, other than mentioning that they were exiled from the end. Despite this, a few discarded pieces of old paperwork seem to have found their way into Nori's library...

## Abilities

### Teleportation

Roux, like all Enderians, can teleport at will. Useful for traveling long distances, traversing difficult terrain, or getting away from a conflict quickly.

### Slender Body

Despite being shorter than the average Enderian, Roux retains the typical proportions, and can reach farther than most.

## Relationships

Nori - A young triton who showed up at Roux's cave and quickly became friends with them. Roux often gives her books they've found on their travels to add to her library, and in general is always willing to help her out with things. Roux seems protective of her, especially when it comes to her "trainer".

Pumpkin - A shulk who Nori befriended and brought back to the Eclipse cave. Roux is friendly with him, but is easily agitated by him due to his lack of secrecy or business expertise. Seems to have warmed up to him after he protected them from Kaizen. *LOVES* his cooking.

Kaizen - A dragonkin who nearly killed Roux and slaughtered her animals. Roux holds an incredible grudge against it and will attack it on sight.

Zygen - A silverfish who joined the Eclipse after making amends with Roux for stealing their spyglasses. Roux is indifferent to him, though they're amused by their "King of Under" title.

Enir - A merling Roux often does business with. Considered as not much more than an acquaintance.

That Damn Bird - An elytrian that Roux has sparsely encountered, but definitely dealt with the consequences of. Roux is largely indifferent to her, but has often shot at her when she enters the Eclipse cave, thinking her to either be an intruder or just a regular bird. (Roux's long-distance eyesight is...slightly poor.)
