Profile


A round good boy with a lot of self doubt, a lot of heals for his friends, and a hecking lot of damage dice.

Shell didn't know much about much and didn't talk a lot; he had a lot of difficulty speaking and moving his limbs properly as a kid due to nerve damage, but started his journey mostly okay minus the belief that gosh wow his cool friends are so much better than he is at everything and why the heck did his gods choose HIM to go on this crazy quest? (Turns out, Shell was the offspring of his three gods.... huh.)

Shell was a tevarian: a distant ocean living group of once-humans with random monstrous traits granted them by their god Tevar and his two wives Nessuna and A'yir. Like a lot of tevarians Shell used tattoos to channel divine magic, and he also believed they healed him of his childhood physical problems. Uniquely, Shell could also turn his hands into BIG MEATY CLAWS, which he used to shred his enemies (game mechanics-wise, they were a single shortsword).

Status: Retired after a successful campaign! Currently living with his people back at Tevar's Heart and aiding their eternal fight against the monsters of the Iron Sea. Occasionally he uses his powerful 9th level travel spell to visit his dear friends in other parts of the world, staying with them for several months at a time. Bart's brother-in-arms Rafi also stayed at the Heart, and they get along well.

The journey and the trials he endured left Shell changed, but mostly for the better: After being an outsider for much of his life, Shell now has a new quiet confidence inspired by the love of his friends and the realisation of his own potential. Phsyically he came out of the journey with many new scars, and a strange patch of glittering silver stardust-like skin around his neck and lower jaw- a sign of his divine origins- which he usually keeps covered.

Magical items:
- "Cloak of Toastiness" (cold resistance), made for him by Conrado the armoursmith from Bart's home island, using the energy released by destroying a demon ring
- Staff of Healing - Found deep in the caves of the ancient storm dragon Wolkenbrecht's floating island, part of a hydra's hoard
