Noxolo
Wow, it's perfect. Thank you.
Noxolo is an initiate at the Magaambya Academy, joining the ranks of the Uzunjati. Mysterious, reserved, and insightful, they seek more knowledge in helping those who pass on after life.
Description
Appearance
Noxolo is a Bekyar human with a slender and muscular dancer's build with tawny skin decorated with several winding tattoos of sekeletal serpents, blooming with inflorescence, smooth and unblemished. Their hair is long and raided, the tips dyed a dirty blond that cascades down to their belt when its rarely not tied up.
Personality
Often as quiet and still as a statue, Noxolo has a very reserved personality. Their voice is quiet and low, almost never conveying any emotion. When asked questions, their eyebrow simply twitches in place of words, or they answer with a pointed glare. Noxolo however opens up at the conversation of their necromancy, showing keen interest in helping spirit pass on. They feel their connection with spirits is a mutual relationship, allowing the spirits the choice to either stay or leave. Noxolo sometimes also has been shown to find enjoyment in exciting things, such as wanting to participate in Haibram's flying lessons, at the very least watch them happen.
Background
As Noxolo is Bekyar, they hail Holomog, which bordering deep south of the Mwangi Expanse. They make mention that they were nobility once, which they have left behind in pursuit of their interests in Necromancy.
Current Campaign
S:02 "The Only Part Of You That Burns in Hell is the Part That Won't Let Go"
Noxolo introduces themselves to the Cohort, offering beautiful blankets that they 'acquired.' The blankets appear to be from the Bekyar people of the Mwangi, which were obtained from the caravan they were on. They report that a group of the Charau-ka killed the caravaners, and so Noxolo took the blankets.
They make mention of their necromantic abilities, which they asked if that would be a problem to the group. Considering necromancy isn't exactly a problem in the Magaambya, the group is fine with this, however Eshe makes mention to not summon any within the dorms, which Noxolo agrees to, nonchalantly. They'll keep it to their own room then.
S:04 "No Lore but the Lorem Ipsum"
A Bone-chilling, Crafting session.
Metasway Warning! This event is only known to the following player: Nymeria, Eshe.
Show SpoilerNymeria makes mention of how odd Noxolo is, considering how taboo necromancy is to certain groups. Noxolo mentions how they've taken their role as someone who offers solace to those that have departed. They make mention they have even abandoned their nobility in pursuit of this. Eshe makes mention that typically, due to their faith in Pharasma, they should hate Noxolo. This prompts Noxolo to be open to questions, as long as they aren't forced to apologize for what they do.
The following questions are answered:
When asked about how their necromancy works, Noxolo provides the spirits a choice to stay or to go, despite the risk of giving that much control to spirits. Noxolo assures they do not want to control another living or dead being.
Noxolo mentions they also help spirit pass on when it's their time, or if the spirit asks Noxolo.
Eshe makes a comparison of Noxolo's practice to a communion instead of servitude, which Noxolo very much approves of that description.
Eshe's beetles aren't too big of a fan of Noxolo yet.
When asked why they joined the Magaambya, Noxolo felt a pull to act and assist those departed, and felt this would be the place to learn such skill.
Nymeria asks Noxolo if they are connected to their past, which Noxolo reports they can name up to 18 generations of their mother's family, and 21 generations of their father's side, but could not say anything about their temperaments or personalities. So although they know of their past, none in which can offer them connection.
By the end of the conversation, Eshe feels some kind of connection to Noxolo, and did not realize they began crying uncontrollably.
During their Third Task, Noxolo joins the group in searching for the ingredients for Chizire's ritual. Before the task begins, Noxolo makes a comment about they wish they could be at Haibram's flying lessons, which Adira wholeheartedly agrees. As their first task is to find lucky bones, Noxolo offers their own insight into the bones gathered by the group, and they successfully gather 55 bones.
Noxolo and the party proceed to the remanding ingredients, which include the Scarlet Caps. As they were collecting these mushrooms, a giant mycoloid named Umbo rushes to attack the party. Noxolo tries to defend by summoning a skeleton, which immediately gets punched into Noxolo, and they're thrown prone on the floor.
The fight ends and they help Noxolo up, feeling some kind of way about being clean decked by a giant mushroom.
S:05 "Yeah, yeah…the flesh empire. We've all seen it"
The party returns to finish the ritual, and Noxolo helps with Eshe to craft oil from the lucky burns.
Once the ritual ends, Noxolo and Adira rush over to the flying kite lessons.
S:07 "He Tampered in God's Domain"
At the end of the three month timeskip, we see Nymeria watching Noxolo is seen playing fetch with a spectral cat in a field. The scene ends with Nymeria feeling a presence behind her, a rotting, stinking presence.
S:08 "God May Judge You But His Sins Outnumber Your Own"
With Nymeria feeling a presense, Noxolo and Uduak approach them. They are not able to see any spirit behind Nymeria, but Noxolo offers to take Nymeria's hand and remove them from the situation. Uduak tells Noxolo and Nymeria that Teacher Ot was looking for them, so they make their way to the library to meet with Eshe and Rubina.
Noxolo was present at the time of Tonali being summoned by Nymeria, and expressed fascination, and a bit of worry of this creature, as they confirm through a use of a spell, that the creature seems to be fading from near death, to life.
S:09 "the Scritening"
Eshe and Rubina find a cauldron that is allows the creature of alcohol to be used to beckon the undead. They mention Noxolo may be interested in this.
S:10 - "All knowledge is based on what we cannot prove. will you fight? or will you perish like a dog?"
For Crystalhue, Noxolo gifts a hand-knit wool scarf to Nymeria.
Noxolo received the following gifts:
- An intricate carving of a dragonfly and flowers unfurling on a pendant made of bone, and Hallowed Cards made of bone.
- a dead rat from Rubina
