Irk

A good-natured Aarakocra (resembling a kingfisher bird) from the Elemental Plain of Air, Irk originally was sent to the Material Plain as a scout. Currently he is first mate aboard the VastBlaster, as his previous vessels (The Eelsnap and Stormbreaker) capsized when attacked by a shoal of giant squids. When not in the crow's nest, scanning for whales and/or danger, he's doing whatever needs doing on deck.
After many years wandering Gavros and reporting back to his people, he fell in love with an adult blue dragon named Kizeth – who lives in Luu – which resulted in a volatile romance that went beyond casual encounters. Kizeth taught Irk about storm powers, and often admonished the god Kogos, claiming “the god wasn’t strong enough to hold her golden chalice."
During his time in the Material Plain, Irk befriended Kharlo Chondricht. The duo went on many adventures around the Drembari Isles. It was Kharlo who warned him not to by tempted by Kizeth, claiming that "little lampreys" should not get involved with tricky blue dragons. This moment of honesty strained their friendship for a time. But, as their bond is strong as a sea-bound thunderstorm, they have a tendency to forgive and forget. Kizeth took pity on Irk because “his positive attitude despite his smallness is adorable,” and entered the relationship in order to corrupt Irk’s point of view – from lawful good to lawful evil. He ended up docking (metaphorically) nearest chaotic good/neutral.
Once Irk figured out he was being manipulated, he searched for answers over many years. He invested much of his time to the healing arts and started worshiping Kogos, through the tutelage of a half-elf cleric named Kora Caskpike. It was through Kora that Irk comprehended the terrible and awesome power of the Storm, and found himself born anew. Consumed by lightning and thunder and bolstered by Kora's guidance, Irk has henceforth felt imbued with purpose.
While a true believer, Irk hopes to re-encounter his ex-partner-in-crime one day, and prove to her that he’s a worthy suitor, and that he’s better off with Kogos’ blessing – as opposed to Kizeth’s. He’s returned mostly to his good-natured ways and works to stay on pleasant terms with his chum Kharlo. Living in the Material Plane, Irk has developed a keen interest in exploring via sea instead of by air, and hoarding treasures and trinkets (that remind him of Kogos). He hopes to present these to Kizeth if they are ever reunited, to prove his devotion to Kogos.
In addition, he’s known for singing sea shanties (in birdsong), doesn't drink alcohol (he prefers Hee-Haw) and being indecisive – unless guided by the power of Kogos. He's a fisher by necessity, but wants to go after bigger game such as whales as a form of training for when he finally confronts Kizeth and/or those same giant squids...
