"No matter what happens, we'll get through this!"
Zhane was but a newborn when he was found in the forest by a pair of kind and caring firbolgs, who took him in as their adopted son. Growing up in a small farming village, he learned a great deal about taking care of the land and their animals, and grew inspired by his father's old ways as an adventurer. While he shared in his father's fondness of polearms, he instead swore his oath to another god, and took up the lifetime role of a paladin.
He left home in search of adventure and the possibility of helping outhers out, and somehow found himself knee deep in worldy matters. Soon he became an ambassador of dragons, a saver of countries, and someone personally touched by fate.
Zhane's nature soon got the better of him, and after trying to stand up for what he thought was right, he was struck down before even knowing what hit him. Somehow, by the powers of the party's druid, he got his second chance in a new body. And now? He knows he can't squander it, and will do everything in his power to make sure his party stays safe, and protect the world he swore to save.

Personality
Zhane is a good example of how you shouldn't judge people on their appearance. He's large and imposing to those who meet him, but after speaking to him once, all of those preconceived notions go out the window.
While he's known for his horrid dad jokes, he's quite a soft and sweet man who would do anything for the people he cares about. Pray you never have to rile him up though; that man can get passionate about what he thinks is right, and little will stop him from achieving it..
Notes
- Zhane's previous body was that of a tiefling's, but may never truly know that. He thought of himself as a firbolg like his parents, and it seems like the secret of his true parentage might have died with his old body.
- Lacks a bit of self preservation and will absolutely throw himself in front of danger to protect his party. He's quite lucky at avoiding hits, but who knows how long it will last.
- Uses his charm and charisma in absolute earnest, and has quite the talent for motivating others and finding a spark in others. He will neither confirm nor deny if this ability has been used to spark rebellion. (It has. Multiple times now.)
Notes
- His shoulders and back are covered in very fine feathers, that are downy to the touch
- There's a faint thumbprint of shimmery dark-blue glitter on his cheeks; a remnant of the druid who brought him back to life
Alize feels like a brother to Zhane; the wacky, gets-into-trouble kind of brother who he will bicker with but ultimately (attempt) to listen to. The two like to spar and crack jokes together, and Zhane swears if anything happens to the man, he will drag his ass back to the plane of the living.
There's something about Calluna that makes Zhane want to watch out for her, and he'll stop at nothing to make sure no harm comes to her. She feels like a little sister to him, though he suspects that the books she writes aren't exactly what she says they are. (They're not. Maybe when you're older.)
Zhane appreciates Kei's carefree nature and easy-going way of life, even if he suspects that the changeling is hiding a lot behind it. He'd like to hang out with him more and learn more about what being undead is like, but after some events that have happened, he wonders if he'll ever talk to him again.
If Calluna gives Zhane little sister vibes, then Titania gives him the big sister ones. The two are constantly getting on each other's nerves; they never quite see eye to eye on nearly everything. Zhane would absolutely protect her with his life if needed though; that will never change. He's now incredibly indebted to her for bringing him back to life, full knowing the trauma of the action it brought her.
It should be illegal to be as cool as Eko, with her big muscles and love of treasure and adventure. It's nice having another person on the team that doesn't have to be on their tippytoes to reach the top shelf, and he couldn't be happier having her watch his back.
While being the most recent of their fate-touched traveling party, Zhane found a very quick kinship as they were, as he called them, 'hoof buddies'. With the both of them having a link to the fae, he wants to get to know her a bit better, and find out more about where she calls home.
Augia AU // When Zhane met this traveling bard and healer, he never thought he would end up with feelings of love and affection, far beyond what he's ever felt for his own traveling companions. So completely enamored with the man and willing to lay down his life for him, Zhane swears to always keep him safe by any means nesecary. (He also just thinks he's really, really cute.)
