Big Guy

## History

### Early Life

The creature currently known to many as '**Big Guy**' was not originally of a single origin, but of many. As a being created through unspeakably evil experimentation by a deranged madman, Big Guy's early life was less than ideal. Not that he'd be able to recount much of the early years, as the individual components didn't complete a single entity with a single consciousness until many years into the process. By that time, he had already been driven mad by the process by which 'Planar Stitched' are created, his mind a casualty of being composed of bits and pieces of places not of the material plane. His saving grace was that his primary host body was that of a child kidnapped from a farm, allowing him a semblance of normalcy in regards to his eventual humanoid shape.

Later in his life, when his creator had moved onto bigger and better experiments, refining the process of creating Planar Stitched, the then un-named creature was left to rot in a cell it shared with a number of other rejects, failed experiments, and 'future materials', as the creator had put it. Eventually the Big Guy worked up enough courage to convince another cellmate, **Fuzzy** the albino dire bat, to help him escape. Twenty whole years since his inception, and the Big Guy had never seen the light of day or the world beyond his underground cage.

### First Contact

After several non-stop days of running, Big Guy and Fuzzy eventually happened upon Tamwall, where he had his first ever encounter with another being from the greater world. After a slight miscommunication that resulted in the Big Guy attempting to rescue inanimate training dummies, **Professor Valerie Ingram** welcomed Big Guy into her home, fed him, and allowed the pair to rest and recover from their flight. Since then, Big Guy has been exploring the world, finding new and interesting people. One of the more shocking discoveries to him was the existence of Waystones and their relevance to Chosen, which was a group of special individuals he was shocked to discover he belonged to. With the ability to traverse vast distances in mere moments, he began to widen his journeys across both Tolreiya and Calmera, discovering a wide variety of peoples, cultures, and landscapes.

### Introduction to the War

Since his *First Appearance* in Mythgate on the 19th of Gozran, Year 4 of the Age of Might, Big Guy has been busy entangling himself in as many worldly events as possible. Only days after meeting with **Professor Ingram**, Big Guy found himself in the Kingdom of Catania, where he was recruited by the Adventurer's Guild to take part in a reconnaissance mission regarding a set of coordinates obtained from one of the POW's from the Kingdom of the Black Sea. It was at these coordinates that Big Guy, along with the other mercenaries **Calyanna**, **Anya**, **Garu**, **Nora**, **Kenia**, **Marcus**, and **Rayray**, first discovered the presence of a secret underwater laboratory where the Black Sea were developing a potent chemical weapon against their enemies. After all but one of the Skum present had been defeated, the group scoped out the laboratory and returned to Catania with bits of information regarding the development of the chemical weapon soon to be dubbed 'Liquid Death' by the citizens of Catania. It was on this first mission where Anya dubbed the nameless creature 'Big Guy', which he has been referred to as ever since. A second incursion was made to acquire samples of Liquid Death, which was only partially successful. During the second incursion, Big Guy managed to acquire a nearly-perfect sample of Liquid Death, hiding it from the others so that he could later study it and its effects. Trusting Professor Ingram, he shared with her one-quarter of the sample, which she passed on to **Wildren**, who then passed it onto **Bubbling Brews**. Big Guy's personal notes, which managed to narrow down the proper formulae to create the perfected form of the chemical weapon from several hundred-thousand possibilities to less than ten, was also passed on to Bubbling Brews by way of Professor Valerie Ingram, allowing Bubbling Brews to create an antidote for the Liquid Death, as well as to synthesize large quantities of the original product to use against the Kingdom of the Black Sea.

### Many Encounters

After his first two reconnaissance missions for Catania, Big Guy began to step further into the public eye. The name 'Big Guy' was spread throughout every location within a day's journey of a Waystone as he began to collect investors for his start-up business named 'The Monster Ranch'. At first it was just an idea to forge connections with others, but it soon blossomed into a multi-branched organization with two primary locations. Construction of rangelands, buildings, and acquisition of animals and corpses of creatures to later be resurrected began. During this time, Big Guy had been hired repeatedly by the Adventurer's Guild to take on a variety of missions, and began to widen his social circles. At one point, he and several others a even managed to acquire a treasure map that would lead to the eventual encounter with the nascent demon lord Jag'Thoniur.

### The New World

Currently serving as the Big Takka (Grand Diplomat) of Pakon Uzg. He often travels to other nations for diplomatic reasons, establishing and strengthening bonds of friendship and trade. Has established contact on behalf of Pakon Uzg with **Winfield**, **The Helios Imperium**, **Vinland**, **Ithaca**, **Al-Marila**, **Oculunaes**, **Skeksha**, **Athreya**, **Daedalus**, **The City-State of Yamato**, **Vulpendra**, and **Tuatha de Danann**, making him the most well-traveled and accomplished Grand Diplomat in the New World, even if relations with Oculunaes resulted in a terrible near-war scenario. When he's not tending to diplomatic relations on behalf of his nation, he's travelling various different planes. He has visited **The First World**, **The Boundless Sea**, **The Boneyard**, **The Shadowfell**, **The Abyss**, **The Dream**, **The Fade**, and **The Hells** throughout his various inter-planar travels. Additionally, he is one of the few individuals from Mythgate to have ever left the safety of atmosphere to exist within space; he often spends time speculating by himself within the gravitational field of the planet, soaking up radiation from Mythgate's star.

## Appearance

Standing at 7 feet (213.36 Centimeters) in height and weighing in at 260 pounds (117.93 Kilograms), Big Guy is aptly named. Being a creature constructed of nymph blood, a mind-wiped tsochari colony, the tail of a yal-thelgaad, aboleth cerebrospinal fluid, a portion of Maelstrom Essence touched by the Protean Lord **Il'surrish the Wanderer**, the initial body-parts of a human child, and the many subsequent body parts of dryads, spriggans, gnomes, and a single Chaos Beast, Big Guy hasn't had the easiest of times blending in with society. He believed for a time that he was utterly hideous, and did his best to hide his Stitched nature behind the flesh of a flensed human adult, wearing it as a mask to hide his face, torso, and hands underneath cured, pale leather.

After a fateful reading of his future by Calyanna Rosethorne, the Big Guy took on a new outlook. He fully embraced Shelyn's teachings, and eventually isolated himself in the Brokenrock Mountains for a time. After his self-exile was completed, he returned as a new person, physically and spiritually; he had done away with hiding his true self, believing that he should not hide the face of one of Shelyn's faithful for fear of persecution. Instead, he allowed himself to be seen for what he was, and eschewed most forms of attire in favor of moving amidst the masses in his new form. He had evolved physically, his exterior becoming something new during his exile, adapting to the new hardships he would come to face later on. His face became calcified in a hardened chitinous plate, and his hair grew out into shadowy inky blots, eyes forming in the dark void that was once his hair. The eyes that formed and disappeared within shone as brightly as ever, emitting colorful light the same way they used to originally. He had sacrificed his tail in a ritual meant to summon a powerful companion, and at some point, managed to replace his missing arm with a construct formed of the starlight he had learned to consume. Truly, he looked the part of an aberration, only this time, he was no longer ashamed of his alien appearance.

## Personality

He has been described as 'Pobbers' by Over-Deities.

At his core, the Big Guy is as child-like in his innocence as he was when he first stepped out into the world. He finds cheap pranks hilarious, is always in a state of wanderlust, and is easily excitable if not downright animated during his waking hours. Nearly everything he does, he does with a strange flair that only someone of his chaotic and bombastic temperament could manage.
