Taosdivaoba
Beyond Earth's Evil
Artfight Profile
Taosdivaoba was a mindflayer who lived in the Underdark of the Eden continent. They were a part of the Tamer creed and took great pride in their skills with their Mind Blade. He left behind the life long learning of psionics to focus all his attention to this new obsession. He was often praised by his peers after saving his peers from an onslaught of undeads that threatened to destroy their home. They were also recognized as one of the greatest gladiators of their colony, deciding to battle themselves instead of using a thrall during Dominance Tournaments where they remained undefeated.They used to live a pretty usual life for an illithid until Fainceth, the patriarch of the drows, attacked their home. The soldiers destroyed everything and Taos had to flee, a thing he described as shameful and cowardly on his part. He was found by members of the Underdark Resistance and joined them to fight against Fainceth's tyranny. The culture shock had been quite brutal. Now without the Elder Brain humming in the back of his head, he did not exactly know what to do but his new drow companions offered him a goal to avenge his people.After the Revolution, Taosdivaoba was appointed Councelor to the young newly appointed drow prince Zaervehk Kurzhe and worked to create a sustainable relationship between drows and illithids.However... Fate (and the DM) had other plans for him, leading him inevitably to his demise. Controlled by Emille, both of them built an army of illithid/yuan ti hybrids. After a year of being unable to fight the control Emille had on him, he begged Zaervehk and his party to put him out of his misery.
PersonalityDesign
  • Taos is calm and collected. Their "voice" is quiet, gravelly. They like to communicate some of their words through mind pictures that sound more accurate to what they mean.
  • They are very ingrained in illithid culture. They do not mean harm but some might believe the contrary. For example, once they wanted to comment on how well a drow had done a job and decided to use "You would have made a great thrall" as a genuine compliment. They just really don't understand why anyone would be displeased at hearing that.
  • They really like jewelry. Back at home, they would collect small shiny trinkets and gems. Their gladiator armor was full of those (armor which mostly consisted of a collar, bracelets, tentacle decorations, pants and boots. They prefered to leave their chest bare to showcase their strength to their opponent)
  • Unlike a lot of illithids, they don't really enjoy reading. Instead, they prefer to learn new fighting stances or other martial arts. They highly respect others practicing those and is pretty welcoming to newcomers of the Tamer Creed.
  • Like most illithids, Taosdivaoba has four fingers on each hand, webbed feet, four tentacles, a mouth full of very sharp teeth and completely white eyes.
  • It's to note that because of his training, he is actually extremely muscular.
  • He has a couple of battle scars from the very rare thralls that managed to hit him during an arena battle.
  • His Mind Blade glows a little bit in a purple/red color whenever he uses it.
  • His armor is actually the armor used by the Underdark Resistance (the silver star on black is actually the banner for the Unified Underdark)
