Composh is an NPC member of the Kephaesta Party, being found by his now adoptive father Xex, after Xex was captured by the Dust and put in the puppy pen.

## Description

### Appearance

Composh is a sand yellow Gnoll. He's shorter than the average Gnoll through his stunted growth after his brain injury after escaping the Salvaged.

He has heterochromia, his left eye being light green and his right being dark brown. He has a stripped fur pattern over his body, most notably his left eye, resembling a scar. He also has a actual scar over his left eyebrow and temple after his head was slit open after his fell down a man hole unconscious.

He's often seen wearing a light blue ducky tie, given to him by Xex to help identify him when he was young. He keeps it as a memento of his adoptive father.

### Personality

Composh is often hyperactive, unable to focus on one thing for too long. He doesn't often like to be told what to do, and has some hatred for authority such as the KPD. He's naturally curious and always wants to explore. Though he's very quiet, only choosing specific people to talk to and bond with. Despite know common, he often jumps back to Gnoll without knowing it.

He doesn't think much before he acts, often becoming aggressive when he thinks himself or someone he loves is in danger. He's not really open to make new friends, mainly keeping close to Xex, Takx and Garnet. Only those three he usually allows to touch and pick him up, growling at others that he doesn't trust or hasn't imprinted on.

## Background

### ***Before Meeting Xex***

Not much is really know about Composh before he joined the party. He was to be a Gnoll used by the Dust for raids and guarding. His parents are unknown to the party and Takx.

He was found due to being the only Gnoll being left behind after Xex let all the Gnoll pups out of the puppy pen. Possibly pointing towards being a bit of a loner or 'up in the clouds'.

### ***Act 1***

Composh has mainly stayed close by Xex during the drive back to Kephaesta, seeing Takx and Xex as fathers and Garnet as an Uncle. Composh has mainly stayed on the sidelines of main story events, usually just going on mini adventures with Xex. Throughout his time during Act 1 he was being trained by the party, mainly Garnet, occasionally along with Xex. He learnt some key words of Gnoll as well as hunting and using a pistol and dagger.

Composh's mental state dramatically decreased during this Act, specifically from the head injury sustained from Xex and Takx dropping him down a manhole after the police attack, and the cherry on top being Takx's death from Salvage at the closing of Act 1.

### ***Act 1-2 Interval***

During the downtime Composh spent most of his time exploring the surrounding area of Kephaesta's Lower District Market Street. Attempting to make friends, being overall unsuccessful other than some "Cowboy from the Wastes" very persistent on getting to know him.

    A couple of months in the party, particularly Zéphyr Davau, starting noticing some mysterious auras Composh was giving off, notably glowing blue eyes and frequently talking to himself. Despite the efforts of the party, and no help from Composh, they are still unsure of the true nature of his abilities at this point. Though Composh did reveal to Xex, while they were having a heart to heart under his bed, that he has a new 'Friend', it appearing to be the Black Wolf from the Wasteland, last seen helping them defeat Salvage.

#### ***Journey to Gnollbithia***

Sometime during the downtime, Composh hosted a K&K (Kaves and Kobolds) session where Xex, Tinker (Innus), Zeffer and Zéphyr played characters. It was set in his made up setting called Gnollbithia, specifically in the Kingdom of Gnolls and the surrounding areas ruled by King Takx. It was about exterminating the magical skeletons plaguing the lands, with help from Sir Garnet, Evil Sorcerer Guy (Edelmir reference), Edgy Boy (Ozzie reference) and Hermit (Composh's self-incert). It ended with King Takx missing, replaced with a horrifically realistic plush of King Takx.

### Careers/Jobs

* Flower Boy for one of Con's customers (Act 1)

## Relationships

### Xex Daggs

Composh sees Xex as a father, and is fairly protective of him as seen when Xex was being taken by the KPD for questioning. Composh seems to either forget or dismiss Xex's incapability as a father at times such as being dropped by him down a man hole and somewhat immature nature.

Composh has unconditional love for Xex, though doesn't always listen to him, this could be explained by him being a pup as well as his brain injury.

### Takx

Composh also sees Takx as a father figure, or atleast a big brother. Takx and Composh trust each other and are often seen together. Takx is also the only other Gnoll in Composh's memory, which also makes Takx and him closer as they are out of place in Kephaesta.

### Garnet Gemm

Composh looks up to Garnet, once staying his favorite thing was in fact Garnet himself, and wanting to look and be like him. Garnet is almost like a Uncle to Composh, often teaching him how to shoot, speak Gnoll and protect himself. Garnet having the biggest effect on Composh combat wise as Garnet spent multiple nights training him for hours.

### Todd Owlbear

Composh sees Todd as an Uncle, a weird one, but one nether the less. Despite Composh feel uncomfortable around Todd, he finds him intriguing and has a baseline trust for him. Composh will never forget Todd trying to help save his 'Big Brother' Takx during the closing moments of Act 1.
