## Episode Appearances

### **Description**

#### **Appearance**

Jelly Bean, as a Gepettin, is a small stuffed rabbit with the name *Jelly Bean* embroidered across his stomach. He wears a long, for his stature, leather coat and a cowboy hat, keeping a sawed off shotgun strapped to his back and a few other weapons stowed on his person that seem to simply appear when he needs them since no one can figure out where he keeps them on his body. He also carries a bag that looks to be made of spider webbing, decorated with several spider eyes that blink if you watch them closely.

#### **Personality**

Jelly Bean, despite his odd appearance, is straight forward and well mannered. He came to the party with a goal and laid it out plain and simple to them, the fires of *Kra'Kash* killed him and his daughter and he is looking to kill whoever did it. He had spotted them while they were looking around *The Barge* and talking to Gabri looking for a place to get coats for the cold weather, recognized RX as a creation of *Vayilcor* and hoped the group would be more comfortable with magic than the regular denizens of the Skorian Empire and help him find safe passage to *the Clockwork Castle*. Despite being told that his mission to find the people responsible for the fires is essentially suicidal, Jelly Bean held firm to his convictions.

This doesn't keep him from having a good time though, as was seen in his midadventures with Tabernacle as they tried to psych out the bare knuckle boxing champion at the *Drunken Lantern* bar and tavern in *Krapjess*.

### **Biography**

#### **Background**

Through his time with the party, Jelly Bean divulged a decent bit about who he was but it was clear that his soul's tranferrence into the stuffed rabbit had left some things behind. Jelly Bean could remember he was a Technomancer on Vayilcor, but struggled to remember his name before his death in the fire, hence taking on the convenient moniker of *Jelly Bean* from the stuffed rabbit's tummy. He remembered that he loved his daughter very much, the rabbit his soul now resides in being hers, and that in theory there were ways for him to improve some of RX's capabilities if he had the right supplies and time.
