## **Backstory:**

* Sabastian Evenwoods- birth name
* Quinndirios- 'real' name
* Quinn- what he went by on the ship
* Safi- another form he goes by, the one he uses for befriending his family

siblings:

* Younger: Minerva (Minnie) A neutral good Adventurer (Rogue). They are indifferent, friendlyish towards you. remembers safi, went roguish to try and figure out what happened there. Alive and well
* Younger: Viktor: A neutral Hunter or trapper. They were friendly towards you. Missing or unknown
* Younger: Ezra: A neutral/leaning evil politician. They are friendly towards you. Alive and well

most doppelgangers keep track of who they impregnate, so that they may snatch the child or replace the mother as quickly as possible. safi's father, however, did not remember. it was a drunken state. they were both drunk, and both about as consensual you can be in that, but in the morning all was either forgotten or left alone on purpose. and thus, 9 months later Safi was born.

He was born Sabastian Evenwood, unknown by his father's kin. as a toddler from time to time he showed psychic capabilities, as is routine for his kind, though thankfully people either thought the mother was crazy or perhaps a sorcerer was in the making. a few years later, though, the protective skin was shed as a snake's, revealing an aberration-like blue skin underneath. a great cry was heard in the town that night.

it was too quick for the local doppelgangers to step in and diffuse the situation, so the local authorities were quickly dispatched and the young child was soon captured and taken to the local authorities' place. it is then that they stepped in and replaced the officer, "killing" the child and taking him off.

unfortunately, because of the disturbance, they had to relocate their community, and they lost their leader in the escape. thus, many held a grudge against the young Sabastian. they did christen him Quinndirios, and taught him their ways for several years. close to his eleventh birthday, they grew tired and voted it was time for him to prove his worth and actually help in the mission. he went along, until a particularly disliking member insisted and screamed at him to make the killing blow. terrified, he communicated with the victim to play dead, and struck him nonfatally. he then made an excuse and ran off. it didn't take too long for them to figure out the truth about the victim, and unfortunately, he was killed anyway, but young Quinn managed to clamber onto a ship on the nearby port and hide in a crate for a few hours.

the next day, the ship discovered him out on the sea, but even though he was a bad liar, they understood quickly that he ran away from a bad situation, and they took him in, especially the carpenter, Grigor, a dwarf. the captain (a yu-anti, kept it undercover) and the master gunner (a halfling) helped train him as well. whenever they docked at/near his hometown, he went out and restarted a friendship with his siblings and family, under the guise of "Safi". his family grew without him, now consisting of his mother, stepdad, and three younger siblings, only one of which, Minnie, was there when he was taken away. each time he secretly left little gifts of his wages (and occasionally other gifts) for them, but the youngest sibling, Ezra, figured it out.

roughly 10 years into sailing, he just felt out of place and was lowkey having a mental breakdown trying to figure out his destiny, his purpose, something more. being a part of something real, yk? and he pleaded for a sign, to anyone who was listening, and the cards answered. they swept him to Mel and the party. and that's where we began
