Dircc

Dircc is a green half-orc Warlock cowlad.

## Description

### Appearance

Dircc is a true green cowboy, not in the environmental sense, in the literally green sense. Towering over the rest of the party, he is twice their height at 6 and a half feet tall. He generally exudes a stoic aura of intense intimidation, though those who know him well suspect this is mostly unintentional.

A shapeshifter, impersonator, and sculptor of reality and unreality alike, Dircc's appearance frequently shifts.

##### Typical Appearance

Plain-faced under a rugged, dark leather cowboy hat; an illusory long, charcoal black, ragged cover-all poncho obscures his entire body, save the bottom of his trousers and worn leather traveling boots.

##### True Appearance

Worn but sleek dark brown leather armor (similar to the Skyrim Thieves' Guild set); a matching leather bandolier of various pockets, pouches and vials crosses the chest, containing various materials and spell components; the same rugged hat and boots; a thin, twining band of leather wraps around his left wrist and over his palm; a thin, one-shouldered satchel hugs tight to his back with a bedroll bound beneath;

##### Spooky Appearance

Generally in combat, his True Appearance above will be bolstered with an illusory mask - a simple, black, Lone Ranger type, but with long, dark green, shadowy tendrils flowing from the bottom (think mindflayer Orville Peck).

##### Cloak

The Cloak of Gucci is a deep, rich indigo, pinpricked sparsely throughout with shimmering motes of gold like stars in the sky; it wraps heavily across his shoulders, fastened at one breast with a gleaming green brooch (a Periapt of Wound Closure) and flowing dramatically behind;

##### Belt

Coiled rope (holstered at left hip); Waterskin (rear left); Flask of Endless Smoke (holstered sideways at rear); small hunting dagger (rear right); book satchel for tome (holstered at right hip).

### Personality

As a neutral guy, he always wants to learn facts before making a decision. Unless it involves money or looting, that happens with no hesitation. He doesn't understand magic, which must be confusing as a warlock, but I'm sure he's rationalizing it fine. He tried to save the racist that one time, and he leaves a trail of broken hearts along the road behind us.

## Biography

Not much is known about Dircc's origins. Some say he was born on the prairie under the Whiskey Tree he loves, others say this is ridiculous and he must have a family out there somewhere.

He met Bea, Champ, and Gen in Westruun through mutual friend Yenfire.

At some point he met Rock, his pet rock/patron who whispers things to him and sends punishments if Dircc disobeys. It's really weird but Smashmouth just sorta accepts it because there isn't an option not to; he's just really into his pet rock.

There was also a moment when Dircc yelled "I didn't kill my wife", this is either a joke no one understood or a reference to his secret past. It's yet to be determined what that meant because it never came up again. He tortured a pigeon once, but that doesn't mean he can kill a woman. He didn't even want to kill the racist.

## Relationships

Rock is his patron and friend? Family? They definitely have a relationship of some kind.

Dircc told Tilda in Zadash he would call her.

Dircc is probably the "D" Mrs. Stump was having an affair with in Felderwin.

He has a tense relationship with Strike Gently, on top of Strike being generally awful, he's also an elf and Dircc's kinda racist.

He's into Journey, romantically. They kissed at the circus outside of Rexxentrum.

He has an unnamed sister, most likely dead. No way to know.

## Character Information

### Notable Items

His cowboy hat makes him look cool.

Dircc has a leather whip around his wrist he can use at will.

In one of his front pockets, Dircc carries a bag of sand he uses to infiltrate people's dreams. It's pretty cool.

Not sure if Rock counts as an item, but I'll list him just in case.

Unsure if his horse counts as an item, but his name is Balderdash.

Same with his weasel/wolf/animal sidekick, Roverrandom.

### Abilities

Dircc is very good at eldritch blast and dream walking.
