Jhinpraxss is a large well-built triton with
long maroon hair he wares tied up and groomed facial hair, this maroon colour
extends down his body on some small scaly frills though some of them have
slight discolouration. This discolouration is consistent through out his teal
scaly skin as his vitiligo causes yellowish white discolouration. He had yellow
eye pupils and prominently wears a smile often walking around topless and bare
foot when not in armour or at least with an open shirt to manage the heat the
surface brings. The rest of his clothes and equipment are quite common compared
to the test of him that is except for a 5 ft tall shield fashioned from the
shell of a sea turtle. The shield also boasts its own unique colouration
somewhat matching Jhinpraxss with a white base keeping the same brown geometric
pattern as normal likely taken from an albino turtle. The shell also sports a gold
triskelion emblazed within an upper section of vertebral shield on the shell.

***Backstory:***

Born in the depths of the sea of moving
ice at a small threshold to the plane of water, into the prestigious noble
Zumunath family with vast wealth, political influence and a strong belief to
Siamorphe, they saw their existences as somewhat divine. His father a tall,
well-built battle-hardened Triton who had accomplished political gain through
military success, now at an exceedingly high position with no need to ever go
close to the front lines and his Mother, a beautiful, but ruthless woman who
had acquired a vast wealth through successful trade with the surface and
various other underwater city-states, their marriage was arranged by the two
for mutual gain with little love involved. This left him as a show child,
raised in a caged environment just to be used as a tool for them to flaunt
their success in attempting to mould him into their vision of perfection to
represent their family name. This was worsened by the fact he had inherited his
father’s large physique with his mother’s unique maroon hair, though, was
“spoiled” by having vitiligo causing some yellowish-white patches on some of
his scales.

Jhinpraxss was sent off to a royal
academy at a very young age as a showing of devotion from his parents. Here a
path was to be forced upon him with no freedom of his own. He was to be trained
as a Paladin, a member of the faithful core, a shield to protect the nobility
from any harm. While in training within the academy, he was educated in both
academia and martial schools, he received insight on how to draw power from
devotion in the words of an oath, most noble members seemed to use their
devotion to Siamorphe as a basis for their oath’s although some seemed to be
devoted to an ideology. Part of this training was making a shield from the
shell of a sea turtle to grow and wield in service, his mother arranged (on her
initiative) of his shell to be a unique larger white shell form an albino
turtle in a bid to show off. His family also arranged for him to learn the
piano during this time. To show wealth they bought one from the surface and
constructed a grand hall with an air pocket within their manner to contain it.
Here he would be made to play to entertain guests, flaunting prestige over them
with this absurd room.

Throughout his childhood, Jhinpraxss'
dislike for the society he was forced to be in grew, this developed into hatred
which further evolved into detest, he saw many of the members as hypocrites,
only there for personal gain, a lot of them ignoring or even partaking in the
abuse of their authority, and with the teaching of Siamorphe, most of them were
too far up their arses to see what they were doing wrong. He did not like a lot
of the teachings of Siamorphe and he despised the people who he would one day
be forced to protect. So before the day came where he would be forced to take
the oath and swear his life to the crown, he ran. Ran in the dead of night with
nothing more than what he could carry, starting a fresh life as a vagabond
convicted to maintain his new-found freedom.

As he roamed the lands, Jhinpraxss
discovered more about himself. With the freedom to try new things and make
choices on his own without nobles and a church dictating his life. Discovering
his enjoyment for various types of art and story, he even began to enjoy
playing the piano, within the taverns of port towns in the Sword Coast, often
being offered board for the night for attracting guests though he never
travelled further inland. During this time, he started to notice some
interesting things, how vibrations and frequencies can have effects on the
weave, using his free time he began experimenting using what he learnt in the
past and his innate magical ability as a Triton stumbling upon his talent for
bardic magic. With the help of the odd trained bard he met along his travels,
Jhinpraxss mastered the basics even deciding a college to learn, the College of
Swords, though he never entered an institute, instead, altering techniques used
to find ways to use them with more of a reliance on his strength. While
studying the bardic magic of weaving sound Jhinpraxss, after much trial and
error, figured out how to fuel the Smites he had learned to use in his youth
with the hum of the weave, though he broke a fair share of weapons mastering
this.

Continuing to travel through the coast
and sea he has decided to settle down within a guild, for now. Hoping to create
some new stories and further his craft. Working to leave liberty in his wake or
at the very least a few smiles.
