Biography

Tinnath, or “Tins” is the son of a male human (Ceo) and female elf (Nali). Sadly, the family had very little and when he was a very young boy he was often verging on starvation. It was around his 8th birthday when he was in the woods foraging and came upon the dwelling of a reclusive sorceress (Tremadia) who took a liking to the child in his naivety and adventurous spirit.

It was oddly business-like as the woman asked his parents to tutor him, and struggling as they were just to feed the child they unofficially allowed Tremadia to adopt him. They visited often at first, or he to them, but over time the visits became less frequent and he was truly raised by the sorceress. Her specialty was alteration magic, specifically changing her own physical form and those of others and over time she taught Tins the art of manipulating the physical form of himself and others.

The nature of their relationship was complicated. She was more a mother to him than his actual blood relatives, but she was also a mentor and when he was old enough, she actually became a lover. He was kept so isolated from the world, that she became the only person he really knew, and as alarming as that is from a psychological standpoint, he doesn’t harbor any feelings other than love for her. When she passed (she was elderly and her time came naturally) he was left devastated and aimless. He had enough skill and wit to market what she had taught him, and went to the nearest city to find a source of income. Finding out that wealthy men and women would pay handsomely to alter their appearance or physical traits for an hour or two - particularly in the bedroom, he began to sell custom potions and tinctures as “marital aids” to them. Over time he began to travel to broaden his marquee, and that’s how he ended up in Drache.

Personality

Tins can be very dismissive by nature, although he can turn up the charm if he’s trying to make a sale. His ‘complicated’ relationship with his late mentor has left him a little emotionally unavailable, and years in isolation in a home with little shame has left him with very little in the means of timidity. He flippantly discusses things most would consider taboo or private in the same way most discuss day to day events.

Physical Description

Tinnath is very ambiguous when it comes to gender. Just passing by, one could mistake him for a young lady easily enough. His narrow waist and fuller hips don’t help that, nor does his attire. Most of what he wears is enchanted clothing that belonged to his female mentor. Crafting or altering enchanted garments is woefully costly, and he never was raised with any sort of gendered norms, so he’s comfortable, even if he might get some questioning looks.

His loincloth resembles a skirt, and his chest wrapping would be considered a corset if worn by a woman. His boots actually have a raised heel - a hand-me-down from his mentor, and everything about him seems effeminate. He usually wraps his hair back in a headscarf, as his shock of crimson hair can be a little unruly.

Abilities & Skills

Mundane Skills

He can be persuasive. His lack of reticence can be disarming, and often he finds himself selling someone a potion they never really needed.

Magic Skills

In addition to his potions, he does have a trick up his sleeve if things get dangerous. The clothing he wears has an enchantment on it that when he activates it, changes him from a fairly diminutive man into a hulking ogre-like beast. What looks like almost a skirt on him becomes a loincloth to the behemoth, the wrap around his torso becoming a belt. The reason he wears such feminine attire is that it’s all enchanted to change his form, and change with him. No one wants to see a naked ogre, and the size change he goes through would shred mundane garments. He grows to nearly 12’ tall and has the strength of a giant, though the change does leave him less intelligent than normal, but he has the knowledge to revert as soon as danger passes. He must be wearing the enchanted clothing to use this ability.

Equipment

Weapons

None - though his ability to transform is a weapon on it’s own.

Armor

His clothing is enchanted, but offers no special protections.

Tools

Tucked into his clothing are dozens of pockets with rare ingredients and spell components. Though it almost looks like a corset (which his mentor wore it as) it has small pockets hidden throughout, many akin to a bag of holding in that they offer storage in a trans-dimensional space.

Goals

He’s somewhat aimless in life, having lost his mentor. He seeks to improve his abilities, as well as forging new items. He’s not clamoring for power in society, rather he seems happy to keep his focus inward, and improve himself. Ultimately he would seek love again, but he doesn’t value physical appearance (as he can change that) so he seeks another soul that intrigues him.
