Fluff

Fluff is fluffyfifi22's character on the Eldenburn SMP.

## Physiology

### Appearance

Fluff is, (or was) entirely human. Leaning towards the shorter side at 4 ft 11 in, the thing that draws most people's eyes are the vines and flowers that intersperse themselves in and around Fluff's hair and body.

## Character

While they try to remain logical and understanding of all sides Fluff is prone to outbursts of emotion, often resulting in unintended consequences.

Due to their own experiences in seeking power, Fluff can be somewhat distrustful of anyone looking for, or in a position of power. Oftentimes they feel pity for those in search of power above all else and will try to dissuade any who hold such ideals.

## Alignment - Neutral Good

Fluff wants more than anything to find a place where they can feel safe, where they don't have to see friends be injured or killed in battle. To find somewhere that won't become afraid of them for being what they are, for what they're good at.

## Backstory

Fluff was born completely human. Raised in a village under constant threat of Pillager raiders, they, like most of their peers, sought to become a warrior, to become strong enough to protect their home.

Unfortunately, Fluff was never particularly physically gifted. Being shorter and weaker than others their age, Fluff often felt inadequate. For what worth does a weakling have within a land of strife?

Bitter but unwilling to give up, at 18 Fluff turned their attention to the more magical. Initially they looked into potions; strength, resistance, regeneration, anything to give them an edge in battle. Of course potions like those can only strengthen one so much, so yet again they hit a wall. So they learnt about the more harmful potions, weakness, slowness and the like. If they aren’t naturally as strong as their foes, then why not weaken them and even the playing field? Of course it wasn’t enough. Fluff still felt that they were too weak, too incapable.

Eventually they looked further than potions, taking inspiration from the Pillagers and researching spells and magic rituals. Though unlike the Pillagers that worked with souls and animals, Fluff took note of plants and the like.

After all, what is a beast to nature itself?

As they delved further into magic, Fluff failed to notice the other townsfolk, people who would have once called them a friend, becoming wary of them. Everything came to a head when a group of the townsfolk stormed the abandoned house Fluff had all but moved into at the edge of town.

The timing was unfortunate, as Fluff had been working on a ritual intended to infuse themself with strength of trees, and resilience of the hardiest of vines. With the ritual interrupted, the spell backfired completely, infecting Fluff with a parasitic plant causing them to initially black out.

When they woke up, they could only see out of their left eye. Their right one already completely overtaken by plant matter.

Less pressing was that they were also in a cell.

They were tried for various things, though it really just amounted to the fact that what they were doing scared the townspeople.

The verdict ended up being exile.

Of course it was, the townsfolk were too afraid to try and execute Fluff themselves. So they wandered for a while, looking for something that could help reverse the damage, or at least stop the spread.

They found something promising within an abandoned tower, the previous owner had evidently been an adept spellcaster, with whole floors filled to the brim with magical texts and tomes. Fluff didn’t quite know how the spell was supposed to work when they tried it, though they’re fairly certain that falling into another world wasn’t the intended effect. Though quite thankfully either the spell did work, or there’s something fundamentally different about this new world.

Instead of choking and draining them the plants now seem to be more so acclimated to their body, working in tandem with rather than destroying them.

It’s strange. They miss their own world, but are also uncertain if their current stable state will be maintained if they return. The only thing they can do is try and find out why they’re here.
