Amris

Amris is an Avaripid runaway who has been at the Mystic's Wheel from 581 R.P. to 583 R.P. Ty was sent to Avaripid by Sapphi and Anwor to find Amris and bring him back to Vilia. Amris joined the Misadventurers as they began their journey back to Adanon. Amris is believed to be the true Crown of Vilia - the supposed surviving child of the Perelos family, Glyn.

## Description

### Appearance

Amris has purple skin, black eyes, stubble across his jaw, and curly, bleached white hair with black roots that have grown out. Ty was given the description that Amris' hair was black and reached passed their shoulders; however, he cut and dyed it shortly after coming to Avaripid. Due to his tiefling heritage, Amris has two horns that sprout from his temples and curl upwards toward the crown of his head. He also has a long, arrowhead-shaped tail. He typically wears a plain white button-up (usually unbuttoned enough to show a bit of chest hair), a high-waisted black pant, and an elaborate leather belt that has a sheath for his dagger.

### Personality

Amris has been described by mostly everyone who meets him as a jerk or asshole. He is dry-humored, selfish, and rarely cares about the seriousness of his actions. Amris doesn't form bonds with others easily and has for most of his life only had himself to rely on. Amris has been used by others almost his entire life despite those same people finding very little value in him, leading to an almost careless attitude when it comes to high-stakes situations. For example, Amris continues to travel with the Misadventurers back to the continent despite believing they were going to use his as a political pawn once more and when those aboard the Wayfarer were slowly dying due to nightmares, Amris realized how close he was to dying and instead of complaining, confided in Celby before they shared a last night of drinking as a toast to their 'impending doom.' Despite his dry attitude, he is very forthcoming with information and is rarely untruthful as he sees no benefit in it. Amris appears deeply uncomfortable when others try to emotionally connect with him and immediately attempts to close off; however, he tends to gravitate towards other more 'grounded' personalities and will usually relent most of his arguments towards those he respects, taking whatever criticisms or commands they give him.

## Biography

### The Orphanage

Amris was dropped off in a Vilian orphanage when he was only a baby - a commonality for tieflings born to human/elf parents who are unequipped to handle raising the unmanageable thaumaturgy-casting children. Amris grew up in the orphanage knowing nothing about his birth parents and knowing nothing of his past. The orphanage was very strict and had living conditions that some would deem unlivable; however, Amris from a young age learned how to fend for himself and though he was much smaller and weaker than the other children, he was always cunning and fast enough to get out of trouble. Amris always knew he was a boy and from a very young age, he began dressing as much like one as he could and insisting that everyone refer to him as such. While many tieflings choose names that are virtues, he chose 'Amris' after the main character of a book he stole from a local bookstore. Despite Amris' many issues with the other children and caretakers, no one had any qualms with Amris' identity.

### Glyn Perelos

The Perelos dynasty was the previous ruling family of Vilia before they were overthrown in 554 R.P. by The Mandatairs Order, a planted political faction who staged a rebellion against the Crown Ankkar and his family who were after 12 days overthrown and captured. The entire family was executed publicly before a new 'Crown' was appointed - Haji who decided that with her rule would be a new era and thus changed her title from 'Crown Haji' to 'Empress Haji'. Before their deaths, the Perelos family were very public about their private lives and it was common knowledge among the people that the youngest daughter of the Crown, Velyth was pregnant. It was believed that she was still pregnant when she was executed; however, in 560 R.P., Lord Tarron of the Welsany family (a family that was close to Perelos before denouncing their support during their execution) began to spread word that Velyth actually did have her child during that 12 day stand-still and that she gave him the child, begging him to take them far from the castle so that they would be safe. The Mandatairs Order publicly stated that it was a foolish rumor and that Velyth could not have delivered her child; however, the rumor was wildly popular and the Order did arrest Tarron. Tarron never said what the sex of the child was; however, he did state that they were a tiefling and that Velyth chose the name Glyn, or *nameless star*.

When Amris was about 13, he and a couple other tieflings from their orphanage were 'adopted' by a mysterious nobleman. The nobleman, who had gathered a few other tiefling children from other orphanages, made the children compete against one another to reveal who was 'the true Crown Glyn Perelos.' The children competed for over a year before eventually, Amris won out. The rest of the children Amris competed against were killed. Amris was then brought to The Shadowsong Walkers, a group of rebels who remained loyal to the Perelos family even after their demise, and told them that he was Glyn, telling them of how he ended up in the orphanage and his memory of his parents and grandparents. The Shadowsong were convinced by his story (or at least, content with it) and vowed to use him in their fight against the crowned Empress Haji. Amris was moved into a hiding by the group who used his name to stir up animosity towards the crown and thus began Amris' life as a freedomless political pawn.

### The Shadowsong Walkers

Amris spent the rest of his teen years part of The Shadowsong Walkers, though he was rarely consulted for anything. The Shadowsong Walkers made every decision for him regarding his legacy as 'Glyn' and how to spread word across the country. It became apparent very quickly that the Shadowsong was uninterested in using Amris for anything more than his name to further their political agenda against Haji. Amris wasn't allowed to leave the safehouse ever as a teenager and spent most of his time by himself, finding his own amusement.

As Amris reached adulthood, he was allowed more freedom - he was allowed to go out into town within the company of two guards - Sapphi and Anwor. Amris enjoyed being able to go out but he was very limited in what Sapphi and Anwor allowed due to their fear of others finding out more about him - especially as the Shadowsong began to use Amris' image more publically. Amris ended up gravitating towards spending his time in casinos and pubs, much to the annoyance of the rebellious organization. Regardless of their judgement, Amris was content to allow them to use him in any way they wanted as long as he was allowed to do as he pleased and he felt no need to try to move into his role of 'Crown' as he had no interest and it didn't seem like they trusted him enough for it anyway.

Late one night, the safehouse was discovered and Amris and the Shadowsong Walkers were attacked by the Empress' Guards. Sapphi and Anwor were stabbed and Amris was captured and brought before the Empress. Empress Haji decided that she would have Amris publicly executed the next morning as 'The Crown Glyn Perelos' to put an end to the growing uproar about who belonged in power. Amris was then sent to castle's prison for the night; however, the Shadowsong Walkers were able to infiltrate the castle and save him. During his escape, those who helped him were caught and killed while Amris was able to hide for the rest of the night. Over the next few days, with The Empress' Guards scouring the country looking for him, Amris was able to sneak onboard a pirate ship. That ship eventually ended up in Zirkaid, Avaripid when Amris was able to finally come out of hiding.

### The Mystic's Wheel

While living in Avaripid, it didn't take long for him to catch word of a famous gambling house in Livenren. He set out very quickly to find it, and once he did, he became a regular - spending the rest of his days drinking and gambling as he ran up a tremendous amount of debt to the establishment.

## Relationships

### Sapphi and Anwor

Sapphi and Anwor were probably as close to 'friends' as Amris has ever had. They were members of the Shadowsong Walkers who were assigned to guard him every since he arrived at the safehouse. The two rarely tried to get to know Amris and most of their interactions with him were of disapproval of his childish behavior even when he was a child himself. Amris learned to ignore their disapproval but spent much of his time speaking to them as he had no one else. Sapphi and Anwor were killed in an attempt to help him escape the safehouse and he was devastated. Amris didn't get to know the rest of the Shadowsong due to his limited interactions with them and only felt a connection to it through Sapphi and Anwor.

### The Misadventurers

Amris has trusted the Misadventurers to bring him to the continent despite seeming even now, wary of their motives. Amris spends most of his time instigating fights with many of them.

### Celby

Out of all the Misadventurers, Amris seems to enjoy spending time with Celby the most. Amris gravitated towards Celby after getting chewed out by the other Misadventurers and thinking she was a safe option. Unlike the others, Amris very quickly began to ask questions about Celby herself and her thoughts on certain situations. Despite arguing with Elion numerous times about the Sage situation, Amris agreed to take Celby's advice and forgive Sage, seeming almost amused but unprotesting. Amris has confided in Celby more than anyone else, especially after he was accused of destroying the ship's water supply. Amris as a 'last toast' chose to spend the day drinking with Celby before their 'impending doom' as he was sure he was going to die soon due to the nightmares.

### Sage

Amris and Sage have a somewhat antagonistic relationship, especially after she brought him to a graveyard where she 'pranked' him with a zombie and the two were attacked by a banshee. Afterwards, Amris announced that he was set on pranking Sage back. Amris is perplexed by Sage most of the time and often doesn't know how to react to her, and that sentiment is furthered by the fact that Sage often changes how she emotionally reacts to him. Amris often times appears frustrated with Sage for attempting to get him to open up about his nightmares or what happened while he died; however, he does typically relent. After Sage told Amris that she was upset when he died during the nightmares and that she enjoyed having him around, Amris appeared unsure how to react especially as he was sure she doesn't like him.

### Snemmell

Like Celby, Amris has an odd amount of respect for Snemmell versus many of the others. Amris allows Snemmell to correct and criticize him without quipping back at her, and listens to what she asks him to while in the kitchen without question. Despite Snemmell's 'nagging' of him, she is rarely critical callously and most of it seems in jest and almost motherly. Amris seems to appreciate her calm confidence and often spends his time with her and Celby on the ship. He was visibly worried when Snemmell fell sick and during the night hag fight - just after being revived himself, Amris went and visited Snemmell by her bedside.
