Binding Chains
About
Chains is a barbarian boy just trying his best to be a fancy paladin in shining armor to serve Woedica. Hot tempered and stubborn he tries to keep his raging to a minimum and serve his community with honor. Having found a place with a small group of adventurers, he acts on his best friend in order to stop a shady organization and appease an eccentric inventor. Easily bored , he's happy to be out and about.

Notes
- Scars all over body don't have to be exact.
- Cape is scraggly, armor is dented, clothes are patched.
- Tail is detachable & opt.
- Seems larger than he is due to pauldron, cloak and fluff.
- Claws are always extended.

Likes
Sunathing
Who doesn't see a nice warm spot on the floor and want to just??? curl up into it??? Afternoon is his favorite time for naps. Be careful not to trip over the big lump of fur in the center of the room.
Fighting
Nothing like a life or death battle to wake you up in the morning. Or after sunbathing. Likes testing his strength, speed, and training against others, but has a very hard time not taking it super seriously when sparring.
Winning
This one ties in nicely with the last. Chains is a competitive sort and will turn everything into a contest when given the opportunity.
Fishing
Fish are very good and tasty and the best place to get it is from the river. And by fishing I mean he just grabs around in the water. Doesn't use a fishing pole
Dislikes
Mean People
Now, it might seem like this goes without saying, but Chains especially hates anyone who is mean to his friends or family, or believes they can boss others around, with a burning passion.
Snakes
Has just the WORST phobia of snakes and even the smallest, cutest, most harmless snake will send him scampering up a tree until he realizes snakes can be in trees too.
The Cold
It's hard for a big fluffy lad like him to get cold, but oh boy when he does he is miserable. Teeth chattering, growling, hissing at the weather.
Heights
He's good at masking it, but he still despises it. Actually much more afraid of the fall than the impact.

Abilities
Rage
Sure, he could go to therapy for his anger issues but like what if he tried to suppress it while also going on adventures where going on a rampage against infuriating enemies could be helpful??? Gains advantage on STR checks and saving throws (not attacks), +2 melee damage with STR weapons, resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, slashing damage.
Divine Sense
Although not the sharpest spoon in the lightbulb, he can a knack for sensing when trouble is brewing. He can detect good and evil. He can sense anything affected by the hallow spell or know the location of any celestial, fiend, undead within 60 ft. that is not behind total cover.
Form of the Beast
When Chains enters a rage, he can transform, revealing bestial power within him. Until the rage ends, he manifests a natural weapon. This can extend his fangs, looking almost like a sabertooth, to do 1d8+4 as a bite. Or grow his claws, long and curved to slash 1d6+4. Even enhancing his tail, allowing him to use it as an even harsher attack or defense.
Divine Smite
When he hits with a melee weapon attack, he can expend one spell slot to deal 2d8 extra radiant damage to the target plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st (max 5d8) and plus 1d8 against undead or fiends (max 6d8 total)
Summary
He grew up with a close knit family alongside fellow tabaxi with a strong emphasis on community where he met Gale of Sparks, who would quickly become his best friend. Always willing to stand up to bullies Chains got into many scraps in his childhood, with his father, a former guard, taught him how to fight. The family worshiped Woedica at the prompting of Chains' mother and Chains will always cherish this connection.
Past
While initially doling out what he thought was karma or justice for himself or his friends on the poor streets of Delgosi against bullies, after Chains' mother passed, he desperately sought more ways to keep those close to him safe. Soon realizing he was called to protect not just those close to him, but anyone who needed it. Dedicating himself to the service of Woedica and frequenting temples, he became a paladin. He trains daily and does his best to hone his talents in a meaningful way. Has a difficult time speaking to his god, but still trusts that her way is right.
Present
He returned to his hometown frequently as he found various tasks and adventures to focus himself on. After one particularly nasty incident resulting in the loss of his tail, he sought out his friend Gale, who had become quite the inventor, capable of throwing together all sorts of creative contraption. She eagerly built him a prosthetic tail, and some time later, called on him for a quick favor. Asking him to help her lead a group of adventurers out of a city, trying to protect a young child and his con-artist father. Chains obliged and found himself traveling with this group for much longer than he anticipated, which suits him fine as long as they seek to do good.
Trivia
- Fights are life or death to him, which is difficult with a quick temper.
- Automatically trusting of other tabaxi or leonin.
- With 18 strength and 6 int he never looks before he leaps.
- Very cat-like, even for a tabaxi.

Gale of Sparks
A childhood friend, Chains values her dearly, as she has been with him through thick and thin. He will always jump at the chance to help her with any task. He will always consider her the smartest person he knows and will always look to her when a problem needs to be thought through and solved.
Riree
Riree knows how to heal, knows how to punch, Chains likes them just fine. Can obviously carry their weight and Chains hopes to befriend them in their travels. Would absolutly trust them to have his back.
Kas
Chains admires his tenacity. He'd like to learn from him and fight by his side again. Would also like to learn how in the WORLD he walks on walls like that. Could be useful. Bonus! They can also bond over being vored by a fish together.
Liabella
Seems rather aloof, but obviously knows what she's doing. Chains can get along with anyone who pulls their weight and settles their own scores, which seems to suit her just fine. However, after she snapped at Gale over the loss of their airship, Chains is watches her like a hawk. She also seems to have this odd vegan firefly pet who seems... interesting. Poor thing can't eat fish. :((((
Auggie
NOW THIS GUY KNOWS WHATS UP!! Runs into a room full of mummies? Can turn into cool animals and throw stuff? Hell yeah, Auggie has all Chains' respect.
Foster
OH MY GODS HE'S JUST A LITTLE GUY!!!!! Chains loves this new addition to the party. Cat? Check. Fluffy? Check. What's not to like? Simple little fella who seems to enjoy life and the forest. Chains values his insight.
