Taxi

Taxi is a character created by Grizzly for the Dungeons & Dragons Campaign Just Roll With It.

## Character Details

Taxi is a male Tabaxi druid, who is 6'2, weighs 160 lbs, and whose clan shunned him for pursuing the druid arts. He is dreadfully afraid of water. He is a very polite person most times, and is easily panicked. He tries to avoid a fight if possible, and finds peace in nature.

According to Condifiction, the player of Sylnan, Grizzly has described him as pansexual.

## History

Sometime in his past, Taxi became lovers with a tiefling called Oriana. He was also thrown in jail with his best friend, who was keeping secrets from him that got them both in trouble. They both broke out, and went their separate ways. Taxi decided to go to the Great King's Wharf in search of Oriana, who he hadn't heard from in a while after they had separated.

## Arc 1

Was temporarily gifted a rat by The Rat King that was named Tibsy.

## Arc 2

At the beginning of Arc 2, he has drunken sex with a male drow elf in the garden of a tavern, which is referenced multiple times later in the Arc. He later accompanies Br'aad inside a wizard's tower as he performs a ritual to summon his familiar, Liveclock, a Gazer.

Within the more recent stages of Arc 2, Taxi begins to feel weak and inferior to the others in the party as he finds himself unable to help or do anything time and time again. He meets with a master in order to become stronger, and adopts a training and meditation regimen. Mountain notices his feelings of inferiority, and gifts him a staff, as well as gives him tips during their sparring sessions.

## Relationships

### Oriana

The reason he came to The Great King's Wharf was because Taxi hadn't heard from her in a while and traveled there to see if she was well. It is later revealed in Arc 2 that he also wanted to apologize, presumably for physically hurting her during an argument. He was panicked when he found her stabbed, and the morning after (with Oriana bandaged and healed) he has a small argument with her. At the end of this, he professes his love for her before leaving to track the lead on the one that stabbed her. In episode 6, she kisses him, to which Taxi immediately follows up with "oof".

On the air ship with the rest of the party in Arc 2, he writes a letter to Oriana telling her that he loves her and that while it would be cruel to expect her to feel the same, Taxi feels incomplete without her. He also mentions that he has "changed", which is a reference to what he tells Mountain in a later episode about his violent past with Oriana.

In the 29th episode of Arc 2, "Bros Before Woes", Taxi tells Mountain that when he was younger, he and Oriana got into an argument before he "hurt her physically", and she had left the next morning.

### Br'aad

He is constantly exasperated with Br'aad's antics, especially in Arc 1, when he has to correct him and remind him that it's "Taxi", not "Saxi". Still, it's obvious that he does care for Br'aad, as he comforts him when Sylnan rejects the party they threw for him and bakes with him.

### Mountain

In the early stages of Arc 2, Mountain was seemingly quite aggressive towards Taxi and constantly insulting him. However, as Taxi becomes more insecure about his strength, he and Mountain share moments of vulnerability, telling each other information about their past and bonding through sparring.

### Sylnan

Sylnan has an unknown grudge against Taxi, although Taxi has no idea what he's talking about.

In episode 28 of Arc 2, Taxi seems to become more and more resentful of Sylnan's strange hostility, acting bittersweet during the party and showing a visible distaste towards him and his actions.

### Velrisa

During their meeting in the first episode of Arc 1, Taxi frequently mixed her name "Vel" with "Veil", although he greatly appreciates that she healed his girlfriend, Oriana. Taxi noticed her trying to steal a book on grave cleric refuges, only to be caught and reprimanded by the owner Heinen, which he questioned later. Taxi is also a bit unsure about her because Br'aad and Taxi only barely managed to escape from the Collector's gang while she was drinking water at the bar.

In Arc 2, it is possible that Taxi has begun to fancy Velrisa, as he makes poor attempts at flirting with her that the other party members pick up on. However, whether this is canon or not is unknown, as Taxi is currently in love with Oriana.

### Hilltree

He dislikes Hiltree's presence, especially the tumor on his head that he requests Vel to heal, and when she doesn't know how to help him he says that she could help him die. After learning that he can sense danger, he "no longer wishes for [him] to die" *-Taxi Episode 2*. Does not enjoy going with Hilltree to go find or fuck whores.
