## Zank Udrin

*"We all are writing a story, but some just need some help here and there to truly shine."*

## History

Born to ramparts of the blockade to a small kobold family, Zank was a budding wizard who has to adapt admittedly slowly to his surroundings. His family provided all he could need, all he could ever want leaving his adaption to the world somewhat stunted. Even despite this smattering of sheltered upbringing, his 'mother' occasionally showed an imparted him the boons of his skills. Unlocking his blood and binding his body to the profane path of existence he now walks on. Despite never knowing her, he feels the call of her path drawing him forward to achieve acts of blasphemy that few would desire to contend with.

Despite his off-putting abilities of necromancy, his blood seemed to equally resonate with the healing arts and he has kept up his current masquerading as a benevolent healer.

## Appearance

Zank is a taller than average, so still small, with a few visual abnormalities that permeate through his blood. The largest manifestation of his less than usual parentage is a deep brown mane which he quite often dyes a light blue color with a combination of herbal remedies. Because of this less than usual process of dyeing, the kobold quite often smells of blueberries, or occasionally other blue fruit. Zank often wears simple clothes, rarely being found outside of his simple tunic, light jacket, and brown pants which are stained in dirt or other herbal remedy. His only two possessions are a grisly and custom-made stitched and sewn book and a bone athame.

## Personality

The kobold's personality that comes down to two main principles, random hyper-fixations and what ever he would find particularly funny/sassy in the moment. He is a person burdened by a vast amount of book knowledge and delights in sharing such information with others if they show the least bit interest in his words. At times he will go great lengths to elaborate upon a seemingly innocuous statement and doesn't really seem to grasp the concept of sarcasm, easily being led on tangents not understanding that he has been put out of social graces.

## Loves

Zank's keenest interest comes from that of studying the various exploits of the arcane, divine, and natural worlds. Understanding the nature of the worlds mechanisms and how they interact with one another in predictable patterns. Despite his abilities, necromancy is only a minor concern when it comes to the desire of feeling and existing, breathing the beauty of all life's gifts.

## Fears

The kobold's greatest fear is being cursed with the same gifts that he offers others, the eternal gift of unlife. The bounties of life are fleeting, but ultimately their comfort is what makes this mortal coil worth living and to be deny them would invite death as a preferable alternative. Another notable fear is being separated from his prize pupil, even if the dunce doesn't have any particular prowess in the high arcane arts.

## Hobbies

Corpse Crafting, Farming/Agriculture with emphasis on Herbological Studies, Performing as a Midwife on occasions as such are needed.

## Friends

Levaske Starborn - One of Zank's only current companions, a pupil and acolyte of himself. Despite the dragon's lesser age in comparison to himself, he has taken up the mantle of protecting the beast of burden. Despite the not so purely mutual relationship, Zank has come to depend upon Levaske with growing portions of his life being devoted to engineering that
