Profile
--- Basics
Nobbins is a very anxiety ridden adventurer, with too much care in his heart to quit. Nobbins cares a lot about his party and friends, and uses his clerical abilities to help heal them and keep them safe. He often struggles to stand up for himself or value himself properly, especially in such a chaotic party, and can be quick to dismiss his own opinion if it would make someone else feel better.
Despite his self-sacrificing tendency, he can be very mature and wise, and has a lot of advice to give, even if people rarely seem to take it. He understands life can be tough, which is why you should always cherish those around you and enjoy the simple moments, which is why traveling around with this party has stretched his sanity. If he could, he would quit adventuring and spend the rest of his days building a garden in a temple somewhere, healing troubled passersby for free, but it seems as though life has more in store for him.

--- HISTORY
BACKSTORY
He was helping his mother make dinner when it happened. His older sister was out hunting for food with his father, and his mother was showing him cooking techniques she'd shown him a hundred times before, while his baby brother asked endless questions about what they were doing- then began the screaming, and the running. Everything was set ablaze, and Nobbins remembers fleeing for his life, mother trailing behind him, Kabar (baby brother) in her arms.
He ran until he reached the cliffside near the village, and risked a glance back, only to see his hometown set ablaze by dwarven military, and his mothers back full of arrows. Without hesitation, he lept off the cliffside, falling down into the rushing water below....
When he awoke, he felt miserable, almost unable to move, beat down by rocks and lungs full of water. He'd barely managed to crawl up onto a beach, and felt for a brief instant that it was over. Then came the call! He was certain he heard a voice, though to this day he couldn't tell you what it said, or what it sounded like, it felt as though the earth itself urged him onwards, and he managed to push forwards, stumbling on into the forest, where he found a long abandoned temple.
Much of this blurs together in his memory, it was months of working to rebuild and make a safe shelter, working to find food, and sleeping half awake, waking up feeling achy as nightmares danced through his head. Despite it all, he managed to survive, fixing up the old temple and planting a little garden, learning to hunt and make traps, and making it feel livable. From here, he taught himself from the moldy books in the temple, and listened to the voice that sometimes spared him from his nightmares and offered him comfort against his darker thoughts. He spent years like this, alone, with nothing but plants and wild animals for company, until passerbys began making their way through the woods.
Although unsure of how to interact with them at first, he gathered his courage and offered them food and shelter, usually gaining their favor. It was from them he learned the outside world was maybe not as miserable as he remembered, and also much MUCH wider. Eventually, he grew inspired to pack up the few things that belonged to him, and try leaving the temple that he'd lived in for at least a decade. He brought with him an old hammer for protection, and what few magical skills he'd picked up over the years.
------------------
THE LOGGING CAMP
Having arrived at a town, Nobbins quickly learned he was sorely in need of money. It wasn't something that had concerned him for long, but he was fortunate enough to pick up a few odd jobs here and there, learning some basics about the world, and eventually picking up a job on a board to protect a logging camp. It was there he met his future party members, and had his world changed forever.
Things went wild pretty quickly, with Nobbins growing an immediate dislike for the logging and the party swiftly discovering the reason people were dissapearing were due to the fact there was a massive monster den nearby. The party urged the abusive owner of the logging company to move elsewhere, but he refused, and the party started a revolt. Freeing some of the workers, the party made their way back to town, and was met by a town hero, who granted the workers protection, and thanked the party for their good deed. The woman, a wizard named Maelys, and her companion Cadoc offered the party lodging, and gave them a request, which the party accepted.

Relationships
Tetheryn [ Former Party Member, Uncertain ]
A rude teifling with black skin and yellow eyes, he dresses in dapper clothing and is just generally a very stuck up Warlock. Though once considered a friend, the man refused to help Nobbins in his most dire moment. Nobbins often put himself out there for Tetheryn, who hated Nobbins' weak attitude and tendancy to baby other party members. Nobbins is happy that Tetheryn was able to reunite with Thyll, but hopes not to have to work with him ever again.
Salus Ponyo [ Former Party Member, Cleric Friend ]
A blue water genasi with dark hair, they are Nobbin's cleric buddy! Although a cleric of death, Nobbins sees it as two sides of the same thing. He was grateful to have Salus around, especially since they're not a terrible person towards him. He enjoys talking with them, even if their conversations tend to be short and very awkward, he hopes to someday see a theater play with them. He wishes them the best in their retirement, and is glad they're living life free from the dangers of adventuring with their partner.
Nix Shadowdusk [ Friend, Retired Party Member ]
A halfelf with white hair and bright blue eyes, Nix is a very positive influence, although they're rather childish, Nobbins was always grateful to have them around. He liked being able to carry her around on his shoulder. Even though sometimes she could be a little bit of a headache, Nobbins will miss her, and messages her whenever he can. He's grateful that's she's back with her family, and hopes that stay safe.
Gale [Ex-Prince Galaxy] [ Friend, Former Party Member, Dead ]
Nobbins was certainly confused about this jokingly genocide loving Not-Ex-Prince Elf, his white hair and unique purple eyes made him quite the fellow to behold, especially when he caught himself on fire or got pushed off a cart. Nobbins was quite fond of him before his demise, and still feels guilty about having been unable to save them. He hopes they're resting peacefully in the burial site in the revitalized crimson forest.
Harolde [ Friend, Former Party Member ]
A dad-bod dragonborne with red scales and dark horns, Nobbins is very grateful to have Harolde around. Nobbins knows Harolde means the best for everyone, and is just generally a very responsible and reliable person, he's very appreciative of his drive and the way he looks out for other party members. He was always greatful that someone else seemed to have safety in mind, and wishes him the best in his retirement.
Nutterbutter [Orchid Jefferson] [ Headache & Best Friend, Party Member ]
A purple half orc with wild dark hair and a strong hatred for more clothing than a simple body wrap, Nobbins worries CONSTANTLY about Nutterbutter. As a barbarian teenager she's almost constantly getting herself hurt, or getting shitfaced drunk. Nobbins wants to help her get better, and wants to be able to trust her, but the more she hurts herself the more it pains him. Despite all this, NB is his longest standing friend, and he knows she'd do just about anything to protect him. He prays to the wildfather to keep her safe.
Carl Jefferson [ Friend, Former Party Member ]
A stupid human ranger friend, despite his singular braincell Nobbins is very glad to have Carl around. Sometimes. Carl's concerning comments often give Nobbins a reason to fret or worry, but he's got a lot of useful abilities and always watches out for Nutterbutter. He messages him often, at Nutterbutter's request, and is glad he's learning more things with Anton, and is eternally grateful for the gift of pesto.
Milena [ Acquaintance , Former Party Member ]
An aissmar with blond hair and pale skin, Milena is certainly a character, often getting into arguments with Lord or Carl, she can be a little bit of a headache, Nobbins knows she tries her best to be sweet and kind, but often times the conflict caused in the group stresses him out, though he would never admit to blaming his friend. He's still protect Milena with his life, and wishes she could appreciate the things she has.
Hamada & Six [ Acquaintance, Former Party Member ]
Althought they only knew each other for a short while, Nobbins really sympathized with this poor human child and his robot who trecked through the mountains with the party in order to track down Engrith. He sympathizes a lot for the child's struggles, and hopes he can heal up his family and learn to move past the loss he faced. Nobbins is a little freaked out by the robotic Six, but is glad something is watching over Hamada.
Inzah [ Firbolg Friend, Party Grandfather ]
A very old librarian, a pink firbolg with a slightly hunched back and a cane, Inzah is an incredibly sweet fellow. He was the first firbolg Nobbins had seen in nearly 30 years, and was incredibly happy to see him. It turns out that Inzah had known Nobbins grandfather, and the sweet librarian was kind enough to let the party use the library and hang out. He occationally visits their house and tends to the garden, he is one of few people who can make Nobbins Relax.
Thyll [ Friend…? ]
A red skinned teifing with a dark hair pulled back into a little pony tail, he's the husband of Tetheryn. Nobbins is very grateful that Tetheryn has Thyll back, even if Thyll seems to be a little more stabby than Nobbins is comfortable with. He appreciates Thyll's insight and his ability to reason with Tetheryn.
Maelys, Wren & Cadoc [ Allies ]
A human wizard, a half-elf wizard, and a half-elf fighter wizard, these magical folks were a big part of the earlier adventure, and people the party goes to whenever they need a little bit of magical assistance. Nobbins is grateful that Maelys was willing to teleport them to Ashen and take care of Lorence, he's incredibly thankful that Wren was able to help when the dwarves attacked the one city, and still feels very apologetic towards Cadoc about the whole 'Nutterbutter broke your fake arm' thing.
Vola [ Cleric Friend ]
A cleric who lives in Nix temple, Nobbins was very grateful for her advice, even if he wasn't really sure it would help all that much. He loved being able to make hot chocolate for the party using the mix she gave him, and was glad someone as wise and responsible as her will be watching over Nix in the future.
Constellation [ Friend & Confidant, Former Party Member ]
An old giant Tabaxi who lives in a tower, and acted as the party's guide through the astral. Nobbins was very fond of the sweet man, and loved his company. He stills feels bad about Constellation's missing husband, and to this day continues to keep an eye out for the man. He often messages Constellation asking how Lynx is doing, and wishes him the best. He was grateful that Constellation seemed willing to listen to him and his worries.
Sondren [ Friend?, Party Member ]
The worlds sneakiest assassin, who does their job and is good at it! Sondren is frightening, and their introduction did nothing to help Nobbins' opinion of that, but at least Nobbins can appriciate someone who understands basic self care, even if Sondren can be a little stubborn about somethings. Nobbins tries to be someone Sondren can talk to and open up to, but this rarely happens. He wants to help Sondren with his family issues, but struggles to understand all the intricacies of it.
Raleigh [ Friend???, Party Member ]
A half-orc, half-elf, who practically radiates commanding power. Although originally sent to investigate the Misfits for Gale's death, she's since become a part of their party. Nobbins worries for her, but doesn't dare baby her. She leads a very different life than him, often thinking about the greater good for the elven kingdom, rather than for the individual as Nobbins often does. Despite coming from very different backgrounds, they can generally reach a point of understanding.
Valarith [ Party Member ]
A blind wizard who uses her owl familiar to see, Valarith is quick to whine about any given situation, and very quickly gets on Nobbins nerves. As an endless ball of assistance, he often finds himself giving more than he has to Valarith, who is very quick to dismiss his thoughts. It doesn't help she's tied so closely to the crimson forest, and seems quick to defend her mother and father, who helped to develop something that put his last remaining family (and the world) in danger.
Kee [ Friend?, Party Member ]
A BIRD! An odd bard bird, who seems reluctant to open up. He's got good things to say when he does, but it seems to be very rare. He's got a long history that he rarely elaborates on, and is happy to be a good bard. Nobbins admires his ability to play instruments, especially since his own hands shake so bad. Plus, he just thinks Kee sounds remarkable.
Mistlel [ Cleric Friend, Admirer ]
A cleric whom Nobbins left awestruck after their battle at The Tree in the crimson forest. She watched as Nobbins summoned the pure power of the wild father and purified a section of the crimson forest, something that was almost completely unheard of. Aftewards, she swapped sides, having admited that her wife was being held hostage, and devotes her life to revitalizing the firbolg community in Bronze and spreading the word of the Far'mal (Wild Father). She thinks of Nobbins as a high priest, and he doesn't know what to make of this.
