High Rotmonger Oslen Rowturch

High Rotmonger Oslen Keen Rowturch

Many people wonder if Oslen is even still in control of their body and mind, or if it's the mushrooms steering. They're a very pleasant, warm person, but they always seem a bit preoccupied.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Difficult to tell under the layers of robes, but the immediate concern are the profusion of mushrooms sprouting from their body. Oslen suffered from a wasting disease prior to becoming high priest and still looks unwell, though the mushrooms are essentially a life support system for them and they're actually doing quite well now.

Body Features

A colony of mushrooms sprouts from Oslen's body, mostly centered along the spine, although some sprout from their arms and head.

Physical quirks

Looks stooped over or oddly twisted. It's hard to tell. Doesn't actually smell bad at all, just a musty, mushroomy scent.

Special abilities

Emits toxic spores as a form of self defense.

Apparel & Accessories

Usually wears many layers of decomposing fabrics with the holes carefully arranged not to interfere with clusters of mushrooms.

Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

??? Oslen goes by either he or they pronouns, but considers they pronouns to be more polite, as they "take the colony's genders into account". It is known that a single species of mushroom can have over 100 genders, so this may be what they are referring to.

Sexuality

???

Employment

High Priest of Torgo .

Personality Characteristics

Personality Quirks

They speak in a very distinctive way, even in tone and wandering in cadence.

Hygiene

Quite careful to keep living things clean, actually very cleanly. They just keep washing and wearing things until they naturally fall apart.

Social

Social Aptitude

Warm and loving, but full to the brim of odd quirks and spacey behavior. Not always clear on personal space. Notoriously bad at reading the room.

Mannerisms

Tends to slouch and shuffle when moving. Sways very slightly and slowly when at rest.

Speech

Their voice is startlingly deep, and they hardly ever raise it above a conversational volume. Their word choice tends heavily toward using (and misusing) metaphors. Those that knew Oslen before they became High Rotmonger say this isn't a new development, just an old trait intensified.

Adding to the theories about Oslen's (allegedly) altered state of mind are their strange Oslen-isms, surreal or hopelessly abstract bits of advice or philosophy.
