Regin Starkweather

**Regin Starkweather** is a half-dwarf sorcerer and barbarian played by Noelani Stevenson.

## Bio

Regin was born and raised in Erobrer. His father was not involved in his life, but gave Regin a hagstone with his full name, Raelthorin, etched into it before he was born. Regin's mother was Dragon-Touched through her ancestry and this power was passed down to Regin as well. His mother never knew how to control this magic, which led to her being unreliable and often absent in Regin's childhood. She disappeared for good when he was 11. Regin never attended school. He began taking on work as a sailor when he was old enough, sometimes with pirates on the wrong side of the law. During his time at sea, Regin met Hartmark.

Regin's final job was on the ship *Angletta*, which was carrying contraband. During a thunderstorm, the ship was caught by the Nerean League. A battle ensued, and Regin, feeling cornered, lost control of his magic and caused a giant lightning strike, killing seventy, including Hartmark. Regin was arrested and sent to prison in Durmitor in Lithyos. While in prison, Regin encountered Dr. Retval, who had an interest in the magic of sorcerers. However, before Dr. Retval had the chance to experiment on Regin, Regin was unexpectedly freed from prison, due to strings pulled by Stella of the Dragon Isles. After he was freed, records about his arrest and imprisonment were expunged. Regin returned to working on sailing ships.

## Description

Regin is a half-dwarf man with reddish-blond hair and beard. He is six feet tall and has a stocky and muscular physique. He also has patches of iridescent dragon scales on portions of his body and a tattoo of an elven symbol, a hart (deer) shot by an arrow. Regin is often shirtless.

## Role In The Story

Regin was working as a crew member on the ship *Rosemary* when it was shipwrecked in a storm on the way to Benswith. After the shipwreck, he was stranded on a seemingly deserted island along with Malachi Khasir and Fin Fisher.

## Powers and Abilities

### Additional Abilities

**Gift of the Metallic Dragon**. Earned after completing the Ascent at the Dragon Isles, the gift was bestowed with an iridescent dragon scale on the inside of his forearm.

* ***Draconic Healing.*** You learn the Cure Wounds spell. You can cast this spell without expending a spell slot. Once you cast this spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast this spell using spell slots you have. The spell’s spellcasting ability is Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma when you cast it with this feat (choose when you gain the feat).
* ***Protective Wings.*** You can manifest protective wings that can shield you or others. When you or another creature you can see within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can use your reaction to manifest spectral wings from your back for a moment. You grant a bonus to the target’s AC equal to your proficiency bonus against that attack roll, potentially causing it to miss. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

## Items

While in Benswith, Regin commissioned brass knuckles.

After he returned from the Ascent on the Dragon Isles, Stella and Nora gave Regin a dragon's tooth to use as his arcane focus, as it would give him better control than his original focus, the hagstone from his father. The dragon tooth gives him the Metamagic Adept feat with the Distance Spell and Subtle Spell options. He wears the tooth on his necklace with his hagstone.
