Zoiara
The Kind of Demon You Invite to Parties (apparently)
Zoiara
A helpful if rather sardonic gnomish cambion first encountered in the Vault of Yeebdis.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
For a demon, Zoiara is a little chubby.
Body Features
Four short horns protrude from the back of his head and shoulders and a large pair of bat wings are centered on his back. He apparently used to have a tail, but there is little more than a stump there now.
Facial Features
He has an odd mix of facial features, a rather unpleasing assemblage of the sharp features of his demonic father and round cheery features from his gnomish side.
Identifying Characteristics
He has four piercings in his right ear, each containing a gold hoop.
Physical quirks
His right eyebrow seems almost permanently arched in a skeptical, rather superior manner giving most of his reactions a rather sarcastic looking edge to them.
Special abilities
Like most cambions, Zoira can shoot rays of fire from his hand. He is capable of charming some humanoids. He also has some innate magic allowing him to change his appearance, detect magic, and shift to other planes of existence when necessary.
Apparel & Accessories
Zoiara's clothes might be considered rather garish were it not for the fact that they are in various shades of red with black trim. The cut has a rather outlandish gnomish feel to it. Very odd looking on a demon.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Zoiara has never really fitted in as a demon, leaning far too much towards his mother's gnomish nature than the demonic nature of his father. Always something of an outcast amongst other demons, he spends as much time as he can on the material plane avoiding the demon who he is in servitude to. Recently, Zoiara found himself summoned to an underground vault in the Infernal Jungle on Deadmouth Island, where he spent some time trapped in a magical cage. When some exploring yuan-ti refused to release him, he tricked one of them into setting off a magical machine that disemboweled the poor creature, sending his companions fleeing the room.
Very shortly after, a party of adventurers came along and released him in return for a promise not to lead any souls into the Abyss for a full year, a little translation and help with opening a chest (most of which they didn't really need, so it cost him virtually nothing!). One of the party then invited him to come to her home in a few months time for a birthday part and to discuss questions she had about demons. Zoiara fully intends to attend.
Sexuality
Zoiara isn't particularly choosy in terms of gender, but does prefer to hook up with halflings and gnomes. He did sleep with an ogre once but he didn't care for it.
Employment
Zoiara is in servitude to a much more powerful demon, but he spends much of his time trying to avoid him.
Intellectual Characteristics
Inquisitive, Sardonic, Witty
Morality & Philosophy
Zoiara always tells the truth, to a point. He will twist it but for his own amusement rather than for particularly fiendish purposes.

Wants to earn his freedom from the demon he is indentured to.
