Mikah Crowle

**Mikah Crowle** is a tiefling raised in Ash'm. He currently works as a tutor for the Church of Ash'm.

## Appearance

Mikah is an average size humanoid. He's very pale, and has white and black hair that has a slight gradient that cups the side of his face. He has very fluffy ears, and a small deer-like tail. He has tall deer horns, then a set of smaller devil horns on his forehead. He has cloven hooves. He has scars that extend from his right eye, that's usually covered with bandages. He usually has deep eyebags due to lack of sleep.

He usually wears drab garb, in the colours black, white, and dark browns. He always as a pair of Ash'm clergy robes to denote his association with the Church.

## Personality

Mikah is a very kind, young man. He's extremely shy, and tends to trip over his words. He seems very innocent, and weak especially since he doesn't wear armour like most traveling adventurers. As a "cleric" of Ash'm, he always extend a helpful hand to anyone that needs it, and Mikah always does it with an inviting smile.

However, Mikah is very revenge motivated, and will whatever it takes to take down Lucien Crowle for what he's done to his Celestial friend and himself. The more one gets to know Mikah, the more they learn he's a bit more bitter and angry than he lets on to be behind the kind mask he always tend to have. While set on his path of revenge, he's grown to be exceptionally power-hungry, taking whatever he can that he thinks will help his success and strength.

## History

Mikah's been with the Church of Ash'm for more or less his entire life, dumped there by his mysterious parents at a younger age who never came back for him. He was taken in though, treated like a family member among the church.

Mikah had a rather close relationship to the Pope, Lucien Crowle, was the one that took him under his wing. Mikah mostly excelled in the holy practices, mostly grew up learning how to be a priest / minister, but on his off time he tried to also study the fundamentals; literature, math, the arts, magic, ect ect. He was constantly holed up in the church, classrooms, the library, and even Crowle’s house studying nonstop. He didn’t have many friends.

Anyway, going about the church, Mikah discovered a secret passage that went deep deep underground beneath the church. While exploring deeper through this place and then in the main room of this “dungeon” was,so he thought to be, an ever-burning light. He mistaken it to be Ash’m itself. Except, this sun kept changing from a sun, a moon, a lunar and solar eclipse almost as if it was glitching which blinded his left eye.

Mikah was on the verge of freaking out since he could barely see. Then the creature offered help, if only Mikah could help them. Mikah agreed rather hastily since he wasn't thinking too straight, under pressure. He got his sight back but grew many other eyes around that eye, marking him by a celistial. With his sight back, able to see this creature in front of him; it's covered in chains, specifically to keep an entire celestial just pinned in this basement. There’s all these desks and papers, and things to like indicate, experiments? Mikah looked through all these papers that had Lucien's handwriting.

The stress from this meeting made Mikah pass out for several days. In this time, he dreamt of a nice world, where this creature talked to him nicely, and told him: "this is the realm I want to return to, but alas I’m stuck in this basement and this Pope who is convinced I’m their God wants to keep me forever, for some reason."

Eventually Lucien Crowle comes downstairs and sees that Mikah finally knows of his terrible little secret, also that he has made with it. Which makes him furious. Despite knowing Mikah for so long, treating him like a son he tried to dispose of him. Chaining him up, and shipping him out to a different continent pretty far away, just, anywhere really, as far away as he can. Lucien was just banking on natural selection taking him out since Mikah was a shut in, or Mikah just winds up with very terrible people that might just murder him.

But with the help of the creature he made a pact with, he was able to have enough guidance to make it within the world outside of Ash'm. Mikah travels around at this very moment, still claiming to be a minister and scholar of the Church of Ash’m. Sometimes he claims to be a tutor, even a sage or mage, whatever fits the bill at the time.
