Tycho Perdita

## General

Tycho Perdita was a humble weaver under the reign of King Rudolph, centuries ago. In those days, war was rampant and Tycho found his homeland pitted often against the forces of Evreska and Bahamut. For Tycho's people, fearlessness and a willingness to kill for King Rudolph was everything; Tycho, as a consummate pacifist, was thus considered inferior and a coward. Even his death to a terrible wasting disease was something to be pitied rather than honored. To Tycho, it was a miracle that his soul made it to the Radiance.

But centuries later, when the forces of Waterdeep sought to summon an angel for their own, nebulous purposes, a displaced Tycho would become the most important being on the face of the world.

## Description

Standing at a rather short height for a dragonborn at 5'8'', Tycho Perdita is otherwise a physically average-looking bronze dragonborn. He sports modest miens with a tunic and pants, and after his time with the Strike Team he dons one of VVherner's neckties as a ribbon on his wrist.

But this is what Tycho appears as in his mortal form. In truth, he is an angel of the Radiance - and so his true form is one of concentric wheels, eyes upon flaming eyes, and a strange infant at center-mass. Even in his angelic form, however, he still sports the necktie his friend gave him.

When mortal, he speaks in a high and loud register, with words laden in a rustic accent. And when in his angelic form, he communicates in a series of vocalizations that resemble trumpets and other brass instruments.

## Relationships

### Sygtri Velenhorn

Of the Strike Team members, Sygtri was the first to befriend Tycho. The two bonded over Sygtri's understanding of Tycho's plights (both before his death and now here, in Waterdeep), and though their time together was brief they came to trust each other deeply.

### VVherner

Sygtri's closest attachment in the Strike Team was that which he shared with Victor VVherner Von Hanvurger. Upon being escorted with the team through Waterdeep, Tycho found himself most often under the direct watch of VVherner, who took on the role of translator and carer for the angel. It was from VVherner that Tycho also received a trinket he would come to cherish greatly: a necktie, which vexed and fascinated Tycho with its soft textures and smooth weave. It was VVherner who, in moments where Tycho was overwhelmed with modernities or dire scenarios, offered consolation; this reached occasional extremes to Tycho's chagrin, where VVherner's care was perhaps patronizing, but ultimately the two were staunchly in accord.

The two's relationship reached such heights that, upon Tycho's return to the Radiance, it became a priority for him to tell his son of VVherner and the man's exploits.

### Coriander Lovelle

Theirs was not a smooth relationship; Coriander and Tycho were, at times, misunderstood foes, apathetic strangers, bitter enemies - and at last, severe companions and confidants. During Tycho's time under VVherner's care, the angel was fed increasingly venomous tales on Coriander's sinister nature: that he was a cruel slavedriver over VVherner, that he delighted in harming and poisoning his companions, that he was an obligate manipulator. Over time this soured the two's relationship from wary-but-apathetic into a bitter hatred. At the abject depths of the two's distaste for each other, Coriander began to actively refuse any aid from the angel, even at cost to his own health/life.

With the revelation that he had been misled about Coriander's character, however, Tycho began with Coriander the slow work of repairing the two's relationship. And by the end of their time together, the two had grown a grudging respect for each other, and had even come to consider each other friends.
