Astéri

***"But yeah...I'm a dragonborn...different from a kobold. I can...breathe like a dragon..."*** -Astéri awkwardly trying to explain what his kind is.

## Apperance

Astéri Lógios is a purple-scaled amethyst dragonborn with pink hair and a long tail. He appears to have a gem embedded in his forehead, perhaps as a result of his transformation at a young age. He also has an odd form of heterochromia, with one of his eyes being blue and the other being green. The inside of his mouth is a darker shade of blue while his tongue has a paler shade of blue. He has a physical tic where he often flicks his tongue out, not unlike other reptilian species.

Astéri's standard outfit is meant to complement his appearance, with purple being the dominant color, supplemented by black and a light amount of blue. He is often seen tightly clutching his spellbook near him.

## Personality

On the surface, Astéri's behavior is very timid and he struggles in social situations. He stammers quite frequently and often makes pauses in his speech. Furthermore, he has a tendency to talk to himself when he gets especially nervous. However, Astéri's outward demeanor betrays the way he views the world: with a mixture of fear, awe, and curiosity.

## Abilities

A fledgling spellcaster, Astéri knows how to cast the lowest level of wizard spells. He can cast the following spells:

**At Will:** Fire Bolt, Mind Sliver, Prestidigitation

**1st Level:** Chromatic Orb, Detect Magic, Mage Armor, Magic Missile, Shield, Sleep

Furthermore, by spending time reading his spellbook during periods of rest, Astéri can recover a portion of his spent magical energy.

As an amethyst dragonborn, Astéri can breathe raw magical energy as an attack. It is heavily taxing on his body, and he can only do so twice before needing to recuperate.

## History

**Abridged Backstory:**

Was once a half-elf child living with his single human father. Died when his village is attacked and his house burned to the ground. Got reincarnated into an amethyst dragonborn by a female amethyst dragon, who took him under her wing and taught him magic. She later tasked him with collecting magical knowledge and traversing the planes of existence and reporting back to her with his findings. He embarks with a mixture of fear and excitement, but wonders why the dragon took pity on him, revived him, and made him her apprentice.

**His Adventure Begins:**

Astéri's first mission was in the town of Halath during the Festival of Forgiveness. The party's goal was to retrieve the venom of a scorpion as an ingredient for a feast. Flustered by being in such a large crowd, Astéri tried to shy away from conversation until he was approached by a young girl and a kobold named Daasool. The two, thinking that Astéri was a larger kobold, bombarded him with questions. He was uncomfortable at first, but eventually he started talking more with Daasool. Having his first...pleasant social interaction, he accompanied the party to collect the venom. The mission was a success overall, with the party finding the scorpions and the water had been tainted by fiendish magic. They managed to negotiate with the scorpions for some venom via Speak With Animals from Horton the druid. Their mission complete, Astéri and the party return to the village to participate in the festival, where he has another conversation with Daasool about the absurdity of washing clothes.

His second mission was more straightforward: defend a village from wolves that have been devouring their livestock. His main strategy was to stand on the roof of a building and launch Fire Bolts. This strategy proved successful, with him landing the final blow on one of the beasts.

## Relationships

* Astéri idolizes his amethyst dragon master, as she was the one who raised him from the dead and taught him everything he knows about magic. He sees her as a mother figure, but still wonders why she did everything she did for him.
* **Daasool:** A kobold visiting the village of Halath that reveres the Grove Mother. Was curious about Astéri and started a conversation with him. Astéri eventually opened up and talked more with him, and the two are on friendly terms.

## Trivia
