Umnomm Elbee Character in Tellus | World Anvil

Umnomm Elbee

Captain Umnomm Flubbleblarn Elbee- Tern

Umnomm is a retired Tortle sailor with a wealth of nautical knowledge and a philospher's heart. He is quiet; hailing from Terrapin Isle he was still confused by many of the things these drylanders did, even after living amongst them for a few years now. He has found a suitable niche, for now, in The Golden Swan, where he loves the beer and the food. Their grog is just straight up rum, which he also really enjoys.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Umnomm is actually in fantastic condition, it's just that none of the humans he is currently hanging out with know what that looks like.

Body Features

Well, the shell is a dead giveaway that he's a tortle.

Identifying Characteristics

We're gonna go with the shell again, here, folks. The pattern, specifically. It is glorious.

Physical quirks

Umnomm has a few bad scars; one on his upper right lip, and two sections of healed over shell that look as if they had been hacked at with an axe.

Special abilities

He can dead recon almost precise locations and headings.

Apparel & Accessories

He usually wears a long leather coat, but goes commando under it.

Specialized Equipment

Umnomm has his father's compass, although he thinks he has sullied his family name too much to use it in good faith.

Mental characteristics

Gender Identity

Tortles from his neck of the woods can change sex when necessary..."necessary' being determined by nature and how much stress that nature is putting on oneself. They can lay and fertilize their own eggs in order to continue trying to pass on their genetic lineage, but most of these children will not live past twenty years old.

Sexuality

Sex is for mating.

Education

His grandfather taught him how to read the waves and currents, and smell the direction upon the winds...but he is still illiterate.

Employment

Umnomm is a retired merchant marine.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Umnomm is very quiet, but he survived a pirate attack with the careful use of cover and the pent up rage of a non human living in Pax.

Mental Trauma

Umnomm's last boat went down, and he did not go down with it. He waited til all of the crew were safely off, then he swam for shore. He dare not return home lest they mock him mercilessly as a coward, he thinks.

Intellectual Characteristics

He is slow on the uptake, but once he has it he has it on a deeper level than most people would ever get it; "it" being most anything.

Morality & Philosophy

Don't be a dick.

Taboos

Being a dick.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

To bring honor to his family by honring tradition.
