Zebrucil Loden, more commonly known as Champ the Scamp, is a a 10 year old chaotic neutral tiefling barbarian rogue.

## Description

### Appearance

Champ is a young purple Tiefling boy with horns growing out of his forehead and a thick mess of black hair growing out of the rest of his head. He is in a state of perma-stink because he's just filthy. He wears a set of dirty but plain clothes and occasionally dons a pair of boots. His forearms are covered by a purple set of Bracers of Defense. Around his neck he keeps a string of various small pieces of enemies (sometimes teeth and sometimes toes) and around one of his horns he wears a strip of leather that gives him +1 to attack. Each of his ears are pierced twice with small silver hoops, giving him +2 investigation and +2 perception.

He's just a little guy. Champ is eager to make friends his own age although he comes on strong. He's very chaotic and loves stealing and mischief. And pooping himself. He's known for being very loyal and climbing up his friend Dircc to perch like a parrot.

## Biography

Champ was born to Mephisteg and Cecilia in Deastock in the year 803. Cecilia was the daughter of high ranking politician Count Porteau Loden who forbade her marriage to Mephisteg. She was instead promised to Lord Desmond, another high ranking politician, but ran away and eloped with Greg instead. She was killed by the Count's men in a runaway chase leaving Champ and Greg alone. Together, they spent a few years surviving in the underbelly of Westrun, stealing and cheating to get by unnoticed. It was during this time Champ officially became a Rouge thanks to his father's expert instruction.

Shortly after, Champ was left alone when the Count's men came looking for Greg, and the family was fully separated. Not too much is known about Champ's lost years. He was alone long enough to forget the details of his life, including his true name and parentage. Champ was the nickname his father most often used so it is the name he remembered for himself. He survived in the gutters of Wesrtun alone, stealing from and fighting with the other unfortunate souls on the streets. He developed a tough exterior to mask the loneliness and vulnerability of his solitude, making few friends.

Champ met his Smashmouth friends Bea, Dircc, and Gen in Westruun through mutual friend Yenfire.

At a routine visit to TACOSE headquarters, Champ received the following letter:

> *Brucie-*

> *I don't know if you'll get this, but I want you to know that I'm very sorry and I'm still looking for you. You may have heard some bad things but they aren't true! I've never stopped looking for you. Hope you're safe, dear boy. I'll find you soon. Stay safe.*

> *-Dad*

While attending a Darrington ball in Deastock, Champ steals a medallion that Yussa requested for magical studying. Smashmouth is stopped by a hooded figure on the escape out of the city who reveals himself as Greg. Greg tells Champ about his past and everyone was worried he would take the boy away, but the opposite happened and Greg joined Smashmouth. They continued their quest and end up reuniting Champ with his grandfather Count Loden and the three of them have a heart to heart and come to a reluctant understanding. Together, they go across the street to fight Lord Desmond, who had incorrectly told Count Loden that Greg had killed his daughter. In actuality, Lord Desmond had hired assassins to kill Cecilia in order to assert his control over the Porteau family since he was unable to marry her.

In the creepy house across the street we find NOT A VAMPIRE, that would come back to bite us in the ass, but a possessed Lord Desmond who is angry and casts Zone of Truth on Smashmouth to extract information about TACOSE and Journey. Smashmouth somehow pins it on Yussa and Bea and Dircc double Dimension Door drop him 599 feet to his death. Although Lord Desmond was being possessed by some unknown BBEG, he unfortunately dies anyways. Count Loden tells Smashmouth that he will clean up the political mess the fight left behind and take care of Desmond's body. Greg is excited to join Smashmouth on their next adventures to get to know his son better. Greg is also a DILF.
