Facial Features

His long snout sticks out from most hoods he wears. A matte black nose against the dirty brick colored scales. His eyes shine in the dark like two lit torches. His ears are sharp and tall, but often covered by his hood, especially during the day.

Identifying Characteristics

His consistently dirty looking scales, and his bright orange-yellow eyes.

Physical quirks

His tail does little taps when he is impatiently waiting for something to do, little twirls when he's happy or excited, etc.

Mentality

Personal history

His parents, both Dragonborn acolytes following the teachings of Ilmater, travel in the wake of devastation; providing healing, food and make-shift shelter for those affected. [Like the Red Cross, only its referred to as The Red Bound Hands]
It was during the reign of Tiamat when they found him, barely alive in the dirt of the ravaged city. They took him in at the age of 2, nursed him back to health, and accepted him as their own, for they were unable to conceive. They named him "Shashti" (Dirt), for as he was found, and will one day return to it. Throughout his adopted life, he was instilled with the four tenets of Redemption and taught to honor ones adversaries equally; whether it be a victory over them, or defeat at their hands.
 
Due to his short size, he learned quickly when to ask for mercy, when to run, and to never go on the offensive alone. He resented his short stature at first, but with their help, came to appreciate its benefits, though, in his heart, still loathes being called out on his hight. His name he took with humility, as he too learned that many saw him as equal to the dirt of the ground. He learned to hide during the day; never exposing himself into direct sunlight least he be seen and killed by those who did not know his intentions.
 
He began training as a Paladin at age 5, at his own insistence; because he wanted to prove that creatures choose their own destiny, regardless of the challenges they have to overcome. Choosing light armor, as it was easier for him to carry and was much easier to maintain. He also favored the whip; dying it a deep red to symbolize the bindings of Ilmater. He learned instinctually though struggled to recall information. After failing to retain the 4 tenets of Redemption, he resorted to inscribing 3 of them on the inside of his (much smaller than the traditional size) shield, and the one of Peace on his whip towards the hand grip; to always see it while it was in his hand.
 
On night before the final day of his introduction; he heard a voice speak to him. The tone of the voice was calm, but deep within him, he felt a primal fear. It called itself Beaumont, and told him to seek out a gathering group of adventurers for they were destined for Glory, and to go forth as his Devine champion, and ensure they achieve their final goal.
 
Charged with this task, the newly christened "Devine" Dirt, packed up his belongings, wrote a goodbye letter to his parents, and left while the moon still shone in the sky to find the ones who were destined for great things...
