Yo-Na

"Narc" (by Barney)

The Scarred Assembly

Yo-Na is a Half-Elf Warlock, portrayed by Denkles, and is one of the main protagonists of Off The Rails.

## Appearance

Yo-Na is a average built Half-Elf that stands around 5'11" and has olive skin, shoulder length silver hair that he keeps tied back in a top knot bun, and earthy-green eyes. Though he does not know his birth parents, his elven grandparents were a Wood Elf (Yo-Ji) and Spring Eladrin Elf (Yo-Ba) respectively, so he can easily discern some of his physical features and looks passed to him by them. His posture is proper but when he get's caught up in a good book or important segment of readings you can see his form start to slouch and his posture fall apart when he focuses.

Atop his head you also see a silver circlet centered with a green gem affixed. He always wears this even to sleep. It looks old and has some age to it, but Yo-Na maintains its gleam and splendor through his methodical cleanings.

## Equipment

The gear Yo-Na wears is freshly made leather armor with a green-blue trimming along with knee high leather boots that start green at knee and fall to a shade of dark brown that both look as if they've seen no use what so ever and were recently purchased. Under the leathers he wears a sea foam green tunic with similar green-blue trim and matching pants.

On his waist where a sword scabbard could be instead there is a large green tome with a raised image of a unicorn adorns the outward facing cover of the book. The book itself appears to be in pristine condition, despite being so exposed to the elements and not having a case of any kind. Attached to the same belt as the book hangs pouches and finely crafted dagger with red trim on the handle. Wrapping around Yo-Na's shoulders falls a dark green-blue cape that comes just below his knees.

## Personality / Background

### Summary

Yo-Na is a kind and timid young man. He has a keen mind for knowledge and history that he gained from his years being a high level student at The Septarian Institute. The life of an adventurer is new for Yo-Na, so taking on this new role comes with an amount of anxiety and perfectionism that leaves him horribly awkward in social situations regarding the subject. In order to quell this anxiousness, Yo-Na tries to ground himself by going through previous studies either in his head or aloud to his traveling party.

As a child, Yo-Na was raised by his Elven Grandparents Yo-Ji & Yo-Ba and knows very little of his birth parents. This type of upbringing brought him to be very close with his grandparents, being the only blood related family he knows they mean a lot to him and he holds his memories of them dearly. He did make more friends and familiar acquaintances later in life around the age of 18 when his grandparents fully paid for and enrolled him in The Septarian Institute where he would live for the foreseeable future after his grandparents passed away. There he met classmates and instructors alike, who he enjoyed the company of, but still felt somewhat alone no longer having his grandparents with him.

While at the Institute he quickly found a respect for the understandings and the importance of the laws, rules, and regulations the academic lifestyle has. This and his yearn for learning, led him to look over the books in the library for a great portion of his schooling. Years of organizing and categorizing books reading as many as he could in his spare time. During his latest semester, Yo-Na came across a large green Tome that he had not seen before in all his years at the Institute. The front cover of the book had a raised image of a Unicorn and the pages inside were completely blank. As he spent more time with this book, flipping through all of its pages he noticed that the book began to write itself. The words appearing in the book seemed to have been directed to Yo-Na himself and speak to him. He took the book from the Library without anyone's knowing and after reading and talking to the book for the entire semester, Yo-Na decided to leave the Institute on the books recommendation and enter the world of Adventuring.
