Dae

Dae is a twenty year old Etheral (elf) person. They are asexual and nonbinary, and use they/them pronouns. Dae is a Sorcerer of the homebrew Frozen Heart subclass.

=Backstory= It has been revealed that Dae is one of a handful of cryptid-like beings known as Ophelia’s Children. Dae grew up in Canderous with their mother, Ophelia, experimenting on them and their siblings for most of their childhood, possibly underneath the location of The Royal Enclave. They mention that Ophelia proclaims devotion to something known as The Hain, but no one really knows what this means. Dae, along with some of their named siblings, Nym, Holyoke, Casey, and some others, were mutated by science, and then thrown out into the wild to be shot at. They escaped Canderous, but they all got separated from each other, some of them possibly dead by this point. Dae’s other sibling, the only one that wasn’t experimented on, Wrentham, apparently drowned their mother in the continent of Canderous, where she now haunts. After being separated from their siblings, they had been surviving within the underground tunnel systems of Velstrana for 12 years. As a result of experimentation, Dae has constant, agonizing growing pains and little patience. Their draconic skin appears to be a genetically modified condition causing rapid and violent growth, causing Dae to have severe body aches during the night, resulting in a severe lack of sleep.

=Personality= Dae is icy and relentless, not putting up with any nonsense from anyone. They are conditioned by Ker Jarra to always be defensive and fierce, with an ingrained instinct to fight and defend at all times. They don’t really like the Shepherd crew very much, but seemed to get along better with the mercenaries they were sent with to get their Divine Weapon. The Shepherd crewmate who Dae gets along the best with is Scrungus.

=Appearance= As a result of experimentation, Dae looks like a cobalt dragon humanoid. They have cobalt scales over most of their body, which are rapidly and constantly growing. They do seem to also have patches of white, humanoid skin on them as well. They have long, black hair that covers half of their reptilian face. They have pointed ears along with cracked and mangled horns sprouting from their forehead. For their back sprouts two dragon wings, once shredded and small, but are now large and powerful. Their one, visible eye is a vibrant green color, with a thin dark pupil. They used to wear tattered, brown robes stolen from a dead body in Ker Jarra, but now wear a much nicer jacket, with a fur lining and hood. Underneath their jacket they wear a white button up with a belt harness over it. Their black pants stop at about the knee, and the tops of their calves have some bandage wrappings around them.
