Bepis Seacaster

Bepis is a goliath warlock of the Wanderer and a current member of Noname Incorporated. He is a player character portrayed by Jack Notarfrancesco.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Bepis is a tall but somewhat thin goliath with pale grey skin. Deep blue tribal tattoos adorn parts of his face, head, shoulders, and arms. As typical with male goliaths, Bepis has no hair on his head or body. Before Book 2 began, both of Bepis' eyes were a dark stormy blue.

At the start of Book 2, his right eye was larger than the other, a greenish blue cat's eye, the skin around it covered in small blue scales. A small tentacle protruded from his left shoulder blade, seeming to have a mind of its own. However, the tentacle disappeared during Chapter 4 with Uk'otoa growing angrier and the eye reverted to normal during Chapter 6 when the Leviathan Lord terminated their contract.

Upon making his pact with the Wanderer, Bepis' eyes became purple/blue, and when looked at very closely, they appear to be the night sky. The traditional blue tattoos became more curving and fluid, taking on more of a sylvan design and greener hue.

## **Biography**

Velrye was the nephew of chief Kevdak of the herd that he was to be born in to. Being the eventual heir to chiefdom, a ritual was performed to divine the strength of the child. He was a weak child, thin and unhealthy. It was determined that the boy's mother, Una, would have to abort the baby before it could bring dishonor to the herd. After many days and many nights of contemplation, she fled the herd’s encampment, taking with her the few belongings she owned.

She journeyed south, the trek being cold and hard.  By the time they reached Alochar, she had given birth in the cold and snow.  The baby was ill and slowly dying.  She searched and searched for a cure, spending very little time with little Velrye, until one day, four years later.  That fateful day, Velrye remembers his mother entering the small inn they were staying at, with a man.  The squat man knelt down before him and placed his hands on Velrye's chest.  The next day, he was revived, however both the man and the boy's mother were gone.

Velrye felt lost, for a four year old without a parent in an, albeit small, city like Alochar is in a bad place.  That is, until he was found by an older half-elf gentleman in his sixties.  Entor Reefcoin was the captain of the *Silver Kraken*, a sailing vessel well renowned for its ability to safely transport goods across the Cobalt Sea.  Entor took in the boy, and he spent the next eleven years on the *Silver Kraken*.  At the time, the boy could barely speak Common, and instead spoke in broken Giant. He mispronounced the Giant word for sea, "bech'tis", as "bepis", so that is what Entor called him: Bepis. Entor was a father to Bepis, helping him learn to fully speak Common, teaching him how to sail, and even how to navigate the Northern Starways.

All was well, until Entor began getting messenger birds.  Over time, with the birds came a change in Entor.  He was always more frustrated about things and would order that the ship be anchored out at sea for days without purpose, then refuse to leave port for a week.  With this brough massive drops in profit, even Entor realized this.  Entor hired some extra muscle, then began pulling “the ships of sinners” aside at sea to “relieve them” of their goods and money, leaving them with only enough resources to get back to port.  Bepis was alright with this, as long as he stayed below deck and he’d be fine.  One time.  One time Bepis snuck up the stairs, and watched as his adoptive father slowly and painfully carved chunks of flesh off a screaming elven woman, her begging for mercy as Entor’s cold golden eyes glowed softly with malice.

Horrified, Bepis caught sight of an elven girl about his age (16 at the time) and human boy that seemed a bit older.  He was able to sneak over to them, free them of their restraints, and bring them below deck.  Bepis did his best to comfort the crying girl, Bepsi, as they could hear her mother’s screams finally being cut short.  The boy, maybe 18, turned to Bepis, his eyes as dark as pools of ink, and said, “I’m sorry, boy, but I have a debt to pay,” in a strange and deep voice.  And with that, without cause or logic, the ship caught fire, not a natural fire, no.  The flames that consumed the *Silver Kraken* as it sunk were red and violet.

Bepis, carrying the now unconscious  Kutham, and Bepsi, were able to make it to the escape boats and begin making their way back to port.  After two nights of clouds, the third night brought storm.  Only flashes of lightning, blood, and a bright cat-like eye were remembered as Bepis awoke on the cold, rocky beach.  In the ruins of the small row boat, he found a (once again) unconscious Kutham. Bepsi, injured but still able to walk, followed Bepis as he carried the human back to Alochar, only a mile up shore.

(Due to Bepis' unwillingness to follow the commands of Uk'otoa, the Great Leviathan severed their pact and Bepis lost his warlock powers. Due to his new pact with the Wanderer, he regained his powers and his subclass changed.)

* Eldritch Invocations (6)
	+ Agonizing Blast

	+ Magical Deception

* Pact Boon: Pact of the Blade
	+ Rather than creating a new weapon or performing a ritual on an existing weapon, Bepis' mysterious cutlass disappeared during a dream in which he met Uk'otoa. Upon waking, he was able to summon the cutlass as a pact weapon. It absorbed weapons he performed rituals on.
	+ When in contract with Uk'otoa, Bepis summoned his pact weapon in a swirl of salt water. No matter which weapon it was, the blade was always covered in barnacles and rusted near the hilt. Set within the hilt is a cut green/blue stone that resembles the leviathan's eye.
	+ Now under contract with the Wanderer, Bepis' pact weapons appear in a streak of greenish silver mist. No matter which weapon it was, the blade always shimmers with iridescence and sparkles while under starlight.
* Pact Magic (charisma-based spellcasting)
* Mystic Arcanum (6th-level)

#### **Warlock Spells**

As a level 12 warlock, Bepis knows four cantrips and eleven spells. He only has three 5th-level spell slots for those eleven spells, but he regains his spell slots on a short rest. He also has a mystic arcanum for a 6th-level spell, which he regains the use of on a long rest. He can replace one spell that he knows when he completes a long rest, and he can replace all his spells when he levels up, so he no longer knows all of these spells (those which are crossed out he no longer has).
