Description
Cockscomb stands at 3 feet tall and has a lanky but toned build. He has a scarred face with a notably broken nose, and brilliant green eyes. He wears battered and mismatched chain armor that hides his wings, with a pair of garish bright green gauntlets that never leave his possession. They are 31 years old. Blunt and standoffish with a permanent chip on their shoulder, Cockscomb would rather exchange blows than words any day of the week. Most nights they can be found drinking in bars and picking fights with anyone who looks at them twice. They are deeply insecure and withdrawn, and secretly just need someone to accept them as normal.Backstory
Cockscomb was a Changeling child that was cast out of his human hosts' home at a very young age. Passing as a gnome or halfling, he grew up on the streets, eventually getting into prize fighting for food and shelter. He made quite a name for himself in Rockshire, until his wings came in and it became abundantly clear that he wasn't of this world. Accused of using unearthly powers without registration, he was run out of town. It was then, as a teenager, that Cockscomb went on a quest into the Feywild to discover their ancestry, only to discover they did not get along well with their family's culture. Frustrated and ashamed of their homeland, they moved back to the Material Plane and did their best to rebuild their career. They've done odd mercenary jobs and participated in some underground gladiator rings, but are lacking a community to call their own.Trivia
- Cockscomb's parents are named Daffodil Gumdrop and Chysanthemum Licorice
- Cockscomb's name was conceived as an answer to the question "what's the ugliest-sounding name we can make from the <flower> <confectionary item> formula?"
