## ==Appearance==

Vex is a distinctive figure, standing at a short height for a kobold, with sleek, obsidian-colored scales that glisten with an sheen. His most striking feature is his unique attire, a black and white ensemble that embodies the dual nature of Yin and Yang.

## Relationships

- Harrier = Vex finds Harrier's curiosity adorable, and considers them to be a dear friend. Kobold stick together. They share a home together in the Kobold Kave.

- Cressa = The first person that Vex has met. Vex loves being in their presence and reveals things to them that they wouldn't for others.

- Zorfu = One of the Corrupted that Vex looked up to with respect. He adored their honor, and considered them a true friend. Vex created a home for them in the Kobold Kave.

- Eldrin = Another person that Vex had met, to whom Vex finds intriguing. He feels that they let on more than they show, and he's curious to find out.

- Dr. Frogwart - A goblin that Vex found to be another potion maker. Vex commends them for their brews, and they trade between each other occasionally with potions and brews. They share a home together in the Kobold Kave.

- Sky = An elf that Vex is teaching potions to. He loves their enthusiasm and tolerance to his bullshit.

- Lukas = A human that Vex respects, having a sense of protection towards them. They share a home together in the Kobold Kave.

- William = A triton that Vex is friends with, and gets along rather well. They share a home together in the Kobold Kave.

- Eli = A human that Vex knows fairly well, and treats them as an equal. Doesn't stop him from doing pranks with them!

- Stotum = Vex's god of worship. Vex *heavily* idolizes Stotum, hearing their whispers, seeing their messages in the stars, and the one person that Vex prays every time he leaves his home... wishing for luck on his adventure. He has a temple built for Stotum in the Kobold Kave.

## ==Backstory==

### ==Early Life==

Vex's formative years were spent in the depths of a sprawling underground cave within a mountain range. In the perpetual darkness, he learned to navigate the treacherous terrain, honing his innate dexterity and stealth to survive. Guided by the faint echoes of distant sounds and the subtle cues of the subterranean environment, he developed a keen sense of his surroundings. Raised among a tight-knit community of fellow kobolds, Vex fostered some bonds of friendship, and the camaraderie of exploration became an integral part of his identity. Together with his companions, he ventured into uncharted passages, uncovering hidden gems and glittering treasure, and sneaking past monsters and other kobolds wanting their shinies. With the passage of time, a growing curiosity stirred within Vex's heart. Whispers of a boundless world beyond the confines of the mountain intrigued him sung to him from the crevices leading to the surface, and the desire to experience the surface's mysteries became irresistible. Leaving behind his familiar cave and his companions, Vex embarked on a solo journey, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure. And yet... he didn't leave alone.

### ==Recent life events==

In recent events, Vex roams as a solitary figure, a kobold rogue seeking to unravel the mysteries of the world with each new horizon he crosses. His anonymity allows him to approach each situation with a fresh perspective, unburdened by preconceived notions. As he weaves his way through bustling towns, enchanted forests, and ancient ruins, his unquenchable thirst for exploration keeps his heart alight with excitement. Guided by his instincts and fueled by the memories of his early companions, Vex is a living embodiment of unbridled curiosity, always ready to embrace the next adventure that beckons. In his eyes gleams the untamed wonder of a creature who left the shadows of the underworld to bask in the boundless light of the surface world, all while accompanied by another person that is always with Vex at all times.

### ==Present life==

Vex has been though a multitude of events since the day he left the cave. For 21 years he's explored and ventured hidden in the shadows, picking scraps that people left behind. He's been high and low, exploring the entirety of Oracle, seeing nearly every nook and cranny. And it all started with picking a cave within the borders of a peaceful town called Leafton.

Vex continued to work on what he would call his home; the Kobold Kave. He was alone, but he was content, and happy with what he had. He had all the food he wanted, he had all the space he needed, and he had all the time in the world to whatever he wanted to do.

Things changed however, as time marched on. People started to go wander to his cave, to which he gave homes to. He started to work on the potions his mother had taught him to make. He started to brew drinks for people to relax with- food to eat. He started to create a community that he could proudly call home... a Kave.

With the Corrupted, Vex found two friends... Zorfu and eventually afterwards, the volcano itself to which he didn't know the name at the time. However, after the war... Zorfu had been slain by another friend of his Thaunder, who had been empowered by a shiny willow tree. Grieved, Vex hid for a week... drinking away as he mourned a dear friend's death that he didn't do anything to save.

After Vex came out from that week, they came to the realization that they couldn't always stand back and hide all the time. They needed to fight back. They wanted to prove that even the smallest of races can stand up. So when the volcano known as Red Ashes- what Vex considered to be the mentor of Zorfu- needed another Chosen to protect the volcano, he began training. He continued to brew potions, delving and learning again and again. Mistake after mistake. And so...

As of the most recent... Vex has been deemed worthy of the volcano... awaiting Red Ashes' decision to determine if he is the Chosen.
