Imhotep Character in Creithnnacht | World Anvil

Imhotep

Imhotep, usually going by Immy with friends, has had quite the life. He convinced his friend Will to escape Rokshal's rest with him at the age of 17. Since then his curiosity has lead him into the craziest and most dangerous of situations. It's honestly docking that he is alive.  

Appearance

  Immy is a 6'10" Yuan-ti pure blood.  Due to his pure blood nature he is barely indistinguishable from a human, unless one knows what to look for.   His skin is surprisingly pale, a couple scars work their ways up his arms. He is fairly lean, muscular enough so that he isn't scrawny. He has long brown hair with streaks of white working their way throughout it, which he often wears tied back.    The only very apparent thing that gives away his Yuan-ti heritage would be his eyes. They are an unnaturally vivid green with red and purple speckles throughout. Unlike contracting like a normal human people, when his eyes react to light they instead slit. Just as a serpents would.   Now the far less apparent giveaways to his heritage would be the fangs that replace his incisors, the fact that he can spit venom at will, and the patches of scales on his upper arms, parts of his torso, on his legs.  

History

  For most of his life, Immy wasn't sure if his origins. As far back as he could remember, he had been an orphan living at Rokshala's Rest; A small village that he didn't know the name of until after his escape.    The village was under the direction of a small cult dedicated to the worship and revelance of Rokshala. Therefore, he had grown up only ever knowing of the cult's teachings. Surprisingly enough, The cult actually did give their members a very thorough education, but with  at least one major alternative to history.    They had taught all of their members that the world outside of the large fence surrounding the rest was dangerous. That everything was destroyed in the Great war and that there was nothing left out there except for other villages like their own.    So, Immy grew up with that knowledge. However, things didn't really quite sit right with him. He always found him questioning if everything that they were told was true. After all, people had come from the outside of the rest before. Oh, and there was the fact that the high priest would go places... He would say it was to go look for other survivors, but Immy was skeptical. Yet, the severity of the punishments kept him from straying too far out of line.   Then one day he had had enough. He decided that he was going to leave and so he asked his best friend will some leading questions, kind of poking and product to see if he could convince him to go with him. It seemed unlikely at first but after a trip together to the wall one night, it seemed he had finally convinced Will.    So one night the two of them went to go attempt and escape, but almost got caught doing so instead. They decided to let things cool off for about a week before attempting again, this time finally succeeding. This was their first step into the real world and it started with running during the night and sleeping during the day until they reached the city of Vorr.
