Whimper

## Traits

Having served their god for years, they’ve grown patient and wise. Knowing to stay calm no matter the situation. Caring for every race and creature equally, Whimper welcomes any ailing soul to their temple, offering help, shelter and food whenever possible. They know how to be stern however, being a force to be reckoned with when angered, though it rarely ever happens. Whimper still suffers from nightmares regularly however, and despite being kind, can be distant on a bad day because of them.

## Early Life

Born with the name Damar, he lived a relatively unremarkable life. Brother to 5 younger siblings, they had their hands full catering to them whilst their parents were off to work. Their village was extremely poor due the land they were settled on being plagued by disease and pests. During a particularly bad season, a priestess of Yireh visited, seeing the devastation and poor health of the villagers she asked her patron god to bless the river with overabundance. The next few years the small town slowly turned into a fishing village due to the population of salmon exponentially increasing. Damar, having learned by then that their village wasn’t the only place plagued by misfortune, and wanting his siblings to have a bright future, decided to become an acolyte of the temple.

## Recent life events

They served for years and years, slowly rising the ranks as they did. On a cold winter morning however, as Damar was busying themselves outside, tending to the trees, a group of bandits raided the temple. Ransacking the place completely, and having no interest to spare those that got in their way. Damar was one of the first struck, his eyesight taken as a joke, filled with excruciating pain and hearing the horror of what was happening inside the temple, Damar turned to the only power that could help them in this hour, praying for the salvation of his fellow faithful. It came in the form of blinding rage, however by the time Yireh answered the prayer, it was already too late. The bandits laid dead next to the other priests, and the only sign of life was Damar themselves.

It took a long time to heal his own wounds, to rebuild the damage done and bury the dead that littered the halls. The only real sound leaving them during those years was a whimper. Feeling as if they failed their family, Damar forsake his name, taking on the title of Whimper instead. His faith was still strong however, and thus he took on the job of caretaker and head priest of the temple. Owning his life to the god, and repaying the debt by serving till the day they die.

## Present life

Whimper is currently still in the temple, taking care of the building and still making daily offerings to this day. Lately they’ve heard rumours of kingdoms coming to a rise however. And they’re tempted to visit, to see how the people have evolved during the time he was away.
