## Eshi

### Affiliation

To-be-named faction on the southwest coast

## Physiology

Eshi is a piglin originating from the crimson forest. Despite being a piglin, his origin does not align with it. He isn't hurt by lava and fire, he can freely swim in it if he was content with it. It's like a bath to him. Poison and hunger do nothing to him when it hurts his kin. Being a blazeborn but not knowing it, he struggles to connect with other piglins.

He is smaller and weaker than most of his home clan, standing at 5 feet tall (152.4cm) and lacking the required muscles that his peers have. He's your typical runt, shoved around and ignored by the bigger and healthier kids. He doesn't entirely look like a piglin, having many human features. The most non-human parts would be his pointed ears, sawed off horns, hooved legs, and his tail. He does have tusks, though they are small. He has pale red and orange hair, the fur on his legs and tail matching, and golden eyes. A notable feature would be his left leg that's seemingly armoured in gold. He was born with an almost entirely useless leg, and the golden armour is actually a leg brace that helps support his weight where his leg cannot. Without this brace, he can't walk.

Scars go over his nose and left eye, and randomly speckle his body from constant fighting. His hearing is very damaged and possibly entirely gone on the right side, though he doesn't really seem too bothered by it. The reason for his hearing loss is occasionally said to be from a ghast but he doesn't go into detail about it. He relies on sight and smell as they are his strongest senses.

## Personality

Eshi is closed off and quiet to new people, choosing to play a neutral party and allow his trusted friends to speak. He may try to hatch a friendship with someone he deems trustworthy, however he is not good at talking. He is often frustrated that his friends can form quick bonds and he struggles to get a sentence out. He isn't always the brightest and can easily miss things in conversation, leading to miscommunication or feeling embarrassed that he misunderstood what someone new was trying to tell him. He is anxious and anticipates a fight whenever someone new is around.

He is loyal to his new clan, Jolt, and would sacrifice everything in the name of saving her. Nothing means anything to him when she is in danger. He is very weary of visitors in his house as he is very territorial, he does not like when people show up unannounced unless he knows them or knows that Jolt trusts them. He does not enjoy the company of unwelcome guests and usually wants them out quick. Leave when told to.

With his friends, however, he's a different person. Eshi is kind of a house husband. He makes sure his loved ones are taken care of, gardening all day to get the ingredients to feed them after their adventures are done. He feeds them before he feeds himself. If the house needs repairs, he's there to fix it. Maybe a room is missing and someone is upset by it? He's working on an extension of it. He loves to make them happy.

Eshi is chaotic good, meaning he will act of his own accord despite what others may expect of him. He doesn't respect laws and regulations set by authority, but that doesn't mean he's bad. He believes that you should be good and kind, he just doesn't have a use for following rules set by people who don't know him.

He is afraid of open air and nothing being above his head to block the sky.

## History

Eshi originates from a vast crimson forest, stretching miles of the nether floor and in many places reaching the ceiling. It was often thought to be an island with lava oceans as far as the eye could see, the only solid ground being above them where enemies were too far to be dangerous. It was dangerous and hard growing up there. The young were expected to grow and learn as much as they could in the first 13 or so years of their lives, then prove to their clan that they were strong enough to support everyone.

However, Eshi could not prove himself. He was weak from birth, reasons uncertain, and his mother deemed him cursed. At first, the clan was supportive and patient, but this patience was wearing thin as he didn't mature as quickly as the others. He needed constant support with his leg brace, from breaking or outgrowing it, he was smaller and picked on, and he regressed into a shell of who he was. He disappointed the clan, and the nether is not a place for the weak. Survival of the fittest is law there.

He was exiled by those he called family. As is tradition, they cut off his horns, gave him no supplies, and he was cast into the nether alone at 13. He barely scraped by for years, escaping fight after fight with wounds and scars to tell the stories, hiding in lava for hours so that other mobs couldn't hurt him, and wondering if this was all life had to offer him.

Then he met Jolt, a piglin from another forest, who was vastly different from him despite being the same. They form a bond and have been friends ever since. At some point, years after the fact, Eshi makes it to the overworld, where he is quickly rescued from rain by... Another Jolt?

Coronation

Despite not visiting the rest of the island, the coronation of the king spread to him. He couldn't pass up such a big event with royalty being an important thing, and it was a chance to see people he didn't know even existed yet. Eshi met his neighbors again and was cold to anyone else who talked to him, not much surprise there, and the event was great! A nice little speech, some good food, a terrorist attack...

Barely making it out alive from the initial blast(half a heart babeyyy), Eshi regrouped with the remaining audience and tried in vain to help fight off the attackers. Two down in the first explosion, and he didn't want to be a third. He was underprepared for such an attack and chose to flee instead, being left behind and stabbed by one of the attackers. He thought he was dead. What looked like a battered corpse, what was left of him, Eshi dragged himself to the only nether portals he knew and met Jolt on the other side.

## Items

**Day One Flower** - A dandelion given to him by Jolt the first time he was in the overworld. This flower is more important than food at times.

**Emotional Support Torch** - He needs it. If he does not have it, he will be distraught. Stealing or destroying this torch is treated the same as murder.
