Character Details

Yigarick'tachuk, or Yiggy as he is more commonly known, is an ex-cultist of the, now deceased, garden goddess Xeranie. He hails from a land where who you worship is more important than your species or birthplace, as such the crime of losing one's god holds a hefty punishment, to be marked as Faithless. Cursed to wander an eternal pilgrimage Yiggy bears the scars of many trials and misfortunes. Despite his tragic circumstances Yiggy maintains an steadfast optimism, although one could be forgiven for thinking otherwise given how prone he is to mood swings. He tends to feel emotions in extremes, subtlety is not something Yiggy is familiar with. The strangest of his leftover practices is his ritual flagellation. Yiggy has taken to his punishment with an unusual fervor, finding invigoration in his own suffering. This has left him with a sort of martyr complex where he believes he alone can endure the needless suffering of the world. This constant euphoria to pain has left him somewhat gullible, however, as punishment is often not a deterrent for him.

RP Information

Yiggy feels emotions much more strongly than your average snake. There is no slightly happy or sad for him, it is normally full throttle. He has an obsession with lifting other people's burdens and a desperate need to prove himself useful. Despite his cult origins and scarred visage Yiggy does his best to be kind and helpful towards others.

Abilities

Commander

Once per turn, the user can form a Commander chain with an adjacent ally. A Commander chain has the effect of the move Hold Hands and allows either unit to spend movement to move both of them as if moving through Difficult Terrain, as long as they remain adjacent. In this state, both units have an effective +2 in Attack, Magic, Defense, and Resistance. Either unit can break free of the chain at any time, which dispels these effects.

User can, as a free action, generate a size 2 Aura that reduces incoming damage for allies standing within by -50%. Costs 6 Stamina per turn to maintain.
