### Class

Blood Hunter (Order of the Mutant) / Cleric (Moon Domain)

**Eskard von Blauwald**, but most commonly known as **Teeth**, is a bull shifter blood hunter. He is played by Slo.

## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Teeth is very tall and muscular. He has long, straight brown hair, brown skin bearing many visible scars, bovine ears, large fangs protuding from his upper jaw, animal-like eyes and two wide bull-like horns. He wears a long dark brown leather coat and wields a large sword.

Since he used the divine powers of Moonbow, his horns have curved upwards to approach the shape of a crescent moon.

### **Personality**

Teeth showed to have a direct approach to things, a skillfull hunter and dweller of the wildernesses. However, he does not like unneccessary dialogue and often reacted coldly and impatiently to chattering people. He tends to have a somewhat grumpy personality, hiding a softer heart.

Teeth does not say much unless it is needed, and is most of the time focused on the task.

He showed compassion and empathy towards commoners such as farmers and traders.

## **Biography**

### **Early life**

Teeth grew up in Mountainpass, working as a farmer at his family house. Bored of the harduous work spent laboring the icy earth, fed up of the cold and long winters and the worry of lacking food, Teeth took the first opportunity presented to leave this life. When he met Zaha'll Waterwalk, a blood hunter hiding as a merchant, he gladly received the martial and arcane education to become a blood hunter - risking his life in the process.

Once he finished his training, he left the farm he dreaded. Assuming his twin brother's identity when he was working as a sailor, he stole precious ingredients to complete potions needed for his training. He then went on to take monster slaying quests, eventually being hired by Anura Cunningker to protect her during her journey.

### **Events of the Party**

During the journey that followed alongside the Party, Teeth showed to greatly grow as a person. Realizing what he has done, he went on a process to come to terms with his own mistakes and fears, heal from them, grow and try to atone for his past actions.

Having lived in a farm, he shares an understanding of the destiny of commoners and low end people. He showed great empathy to cast-out people as Dolorosa Castigia. She pointed that his blood-manipulating technique was called Dalaifal'le, and close to her people's culture.

### **Entering the Moonlight**

In Fieldbell, Teeth approached the clergy of Moonbow, showing great interest into their traditions. He eventually underwent the training to become a member of the order, under the supervision of Nakshatra and Silvera. He was officially welcomed into the orders on Myosotis 21st, during the night of the New Moon. Him and Nakshatra have developed a romantic relationship shortafter.

This endeavor allowed him to heal and confront some of his troubles and issues, and move on and forgive himself.

He has long stood to protect his newfound friends, and pledged to offer his help to the rest of the party should they ever need it. Before leaving to Hell and slay Taskar, he gave to Nakshatra a platinum ring, which then was confirmed as engagement ring.

### **A calmer life**

Once everything calmed down and after slaying Taskar, Teeth decided he had a lot of things in his life he wanted to fix, relationships he wants to amend. He wants to connect back with his family, including his twin brother, and build a stable future with his husband. He decided to "retire" from the adventuring life for now, still around to help the construction of their collective house.

## **Relationships**

###  **Party**

* Pyra : Teeth and her share a respectful but friendly relationship. They have developed a strong camaraderie, and stood as the two protectors of the party, combining their efforts and strategies.
* Ma'al Jedd : Despite Teeth's crankiness towards Ma'al's antics and risk-taking behaviours, Teeth often showed to stand by Ma'al's side and offered his help against his family or anything else that might threaten Ma'al.
* Toot : Teeth has often showed a protecting side to Toot, and respects him greatly for being a skillful and capable healer and fighter.

### **Family**

* Tusk : After saving her from the kidnapping of döppelgangers, Tusk and Teeth talked at length of Teeth's past actions. Misunderstanding and lack of communication dealt with, their relationship seemed to slowly improve.
* Ludwig von Blauwald : Ludwig is Teeth's twin brother. After Teeth impersonated him, stole objects in his name and made him lose his job, they never spoke. Teeth shows remorse to these actions, and aims to mend those broken bonds.

### **Others**

* Dolorosa Castigia : Teeth showed quick empathy to Dolorosa, and acted very caring about her.
* Flintbane : Teeth was a staunch opposer of Flintbane's views, seeing her as a threat to his home country.
* Nakshatra of Saintgrave : Teeth and him share a romantic relationship, and eventually married each other.

 **Abilities**

* **Blood Control :** Teeth showed the ability to use his own blood to inflict curses on his enemies, sometimes inflicting himself wounds through a spiked contraption in the hilt of his sword; which makes it catch fire.
* **Primal Form :** Teeth is able to "shift" into a more bestial form of himself, where his features become more animal-like and his body swells in power.
* **Alchemical training :** Teeth showed talents in handling and recognizing alchemical components.
* **Mutagens :** Using secret formulas, Teeth was able to create potions that could alter his body form. The first one he made amplified his physical strength, while another made his skin very slippery.
* **Moon Magic :** Since joining the ranks of Moonbow, he gained the blessing of casting Moon-based magic.
