Ness

**Nessoth,** nicknamed **Ness**, is a Dragonborn campaign manager working for Ignatious Femok's Campaign in Markham.

 Description

### Appearance

Ness' slender body was honed in years of battle and sword dancing. His skin is shades of orange and yellow, with a long plume of magenta and apricot feathers. His extravagant tail is coated in the same magic hour tones.

His outfits are tightly fitted, tailor hit to his lithe proportions. Generally wearing muted darks to contrast his warm complexion, he enjoys adding a splash of color with a red hanker-chef. He accessorizes with a vestigial monocle and cane, adorning both to sell his look as a shrewd politician.

### Personality

Hyper-analytical and incredibly focused, Ness overburdens himself with every task on the campaign trail and loves every minute of it.

Cordial in most social encounters to avoid upsetting a potential voter, he isn't afraid to speak his mind and be gently blunt with anyone who may speak ill of Femok.

He grows upset when others don't recognize his efforts, but generally hides it as he is too busy to linger on these feelings for too long.

## Story

### Background

Born in Bythria, Ness was from a now extinct clan of Feathered Dragonborn. His clan was wiped out by Ignatious Femok's clan when Ness was only a child. Ness fought off Femok's clan with such vigor that they decided to raise the young Ness as a powerful warrior.

He loyally followed Ignatious' leadership from then on, aiding in the slaying of his dragon lord Dashre'zk and the plundering of his horde. Ensured a share of the wealth by Ignatious, the pair set off into the world of politics, first starting in the Craetorean Empire and making their way to the more progressive Gaenrun, setting their sites on the open seat in Markham.

## Relationships

### Ignatious Femok

The pair are platonic (on Ignatious' side) life partners who have been at each other's sides since youth. With Ignatious' charisma and Ness' intellegence, the two tore across the land as shrewd politicians, obsessed with gaining a foot hold in the political landscape of the seemingly utopian Gaenrun.

Ness clearly has unrequited feelings for Ignatious, as revealed after how upset he became over Ignatious sleeping with Phoebe. His concerns are often framed as pragmatic, as he was also concerned that Ignatious was literally canoodling with the sister of his potential assassin, there is often a deeper underlying emotion to his motivations to protect Ignatious. Day and night, Ness works while Ignatious plays. Yet he does this out of love if nothing else.

### Ara

Ara and Ness have the most ongoing back and fourth despite Ara's non-involvement in the task force. The agreeable Ness befriended Ara when they first met, giving her his sending stone number almost immediately after meeting.

Since then, the pair have had a constant exchange, with Ara often seeking Ness' research and advice on topics and reporting directly to him about their quest in Last Mount.

### Morgun

The pair got off to a rocky start, with Ness fearing Dominus and seeing him as a present danger to Ignatious. Ness grew angry that Gaenrun's military would send such a volatile soldier to defend Ignatious. He ultimately encouraged Morgun to leave for Last Mount, despite his task being to protect Ignatious, in an effort to keep him away.

### Phoebe

Ness is endlessly jealous of Phoebe. Upon meeting for the first time, he was enchanted and forced to leave the side of the man he was sworn to protect, only for Ignatious to sleep with her and further embarrass Ness. He is greatly distrustful of the Drow girl and supported sending her away as well.
