Summary
Personality
On the surface, Alabaster seems to be a charismatic over the top personality, always eager to make friends or make a deal. He's incredibly outgoing and sweet, but underneath the pristine veneer is an aphex with questionable morals. Alabaster isn't a bad person per se, but he's got sticky fingers and is more than happy stealing when nobody is looking. He's also invested in black market trading and is willing to acquire almost anything for almost anyone. He does however have a heart and a lot of the money he makes goes into helping the local dephx, providing food and a help to those that are willing to try and make a life for themselves among aphex. It's a huge risk for him, but he perseveres to help give everyone a chance at a good life. Alabaster is far from perfect, but he has a heart of gold and if you earn his trust, he will be loyal to the very end.
Background
Alabaster was hatched in Feisha to two rather apathetic parents. The young aphex was always independent and eager to please but learned rather quickly there was no praise or affection to be earned at home. As such, he struck out at a very young age to find a home of his own. Unprepared for the outside world, he quickly fell into poverty and thievery. He spent a few years traveling north through Redwood, but the isolation and cold never felt like home to him. In this time though, he learned to be charismatic, crafting a careful persona to befriend anyone he met. In such a harsh landscape, friendliness was more likely to earn him a chance at supplies and warmth than thievery and sneaking around.
Around the same time, he learned about the victory in Ashuta over the Cassowary King, but the young Alabaster couldn't understand how this kind of slaughter could be a point of pride among aphex. It felt more like a tragedy to him, though he had never had any experience with dephx. This later led to his fondness for his brother species, wishing to give them a chance to be something other than the mounters most aphex believe they are. After a time though, Alabaster left the cold north, traveling south towards Ta'iwi. He had heard that the city was more open to other species, including reformed dephx, and he hoped to see more of what the world had to offer. It is here where he made his eventual home, crafting small charms and acquiring goods for people.

Affliction: Devil's Geode
Alabaster's insides have been replaced with golden citrine crystals. Any wounds sustained expose this crystal, but they will heal over time. As such, he can sustain more damage than a regular aphex, though he can still be killed if he's hurt badly enough or his head is removed.
Jeweled Collar
An affliction created collar whose gem transfers Alabaster's thoughts to speech. It is made of gold with a teal gemstone in the center. The collar itself is simply made but elegent.
Woven Cloak
A handmade cloak Alabaster made himself. It keeps the sun off his back and the golden charms click together whenever he moves. One of his most prized possessions, he spent months trying and failing to weave before finally finishing it.
Decorative Wraps
These wraps serve mostly an aesthetic purpose with gold rings dangling from the ends. The wrap around his waist is used to store small items and a small pack is tied at the back.
Jewelry
Despite his love of money and all things shiny, Alabaster's jewelry is kept to a minimum. Usually it's only his collar and two golden earrings per ear. He's known to indulge sometimes though, adding rings and bracelets and other such jewelry.
