Wizardess: created Choeru page/outline

{{Infobox_item|image=image.jpg|caption="The friendliest faces in the realm!"|powers=empathy|height=3.5 - 5.5 feet|weight=75 - 200 lbs}}

'''{{PAGENAME}} '''are a beastfolk [[race]] resembling capybaras. Their evolutionary origin is unknown, though some preeminent therio-anthropologists believe they may share a common ancestor with Tanuki.

== Physical Description ==
Choeru are short and stout when compared humans and other theriomorphic races. Typical heights range from 3.5 to 5.5 feet and typical weights, though more variable than heights, tend to be between 75 and 200 pounds. Their bodies are covered in short, coarse hairs, usually in tawny shades. Albinism, melanism, and vitiligo have all been observed, though they are unusual conditions. Common eye colors include shades of brown, orange, gold, green, and black. Blue, silver, and red eyes are seen rarely. Modern choeru have softer cartilage than their ancestors - now, about 20% of the choeru population has ears that flop over.

The average life expectancy of a choeru is 80 years. Multiple births up to quadruplets are common.

=== Breakwater ===
A Grung. He's a bit dim according to Captain Cronch. Was saved from the cold by the heroes of the Freeze. Now a member aboard the '''Arctic Express''', a saw ship operated by Captain Crezzerin.

=== Farmer Lyle Lingon ===
A farmer who grows (grew) [[Sour Lingonberries]], a notoriously delicious and over-wintering fruit which continued to slowly grow despite the freeze. His house first came under attack by Cultists of [[Amaun]], leaving him to flee into the cities borders, only to almost be snowed in after a particularly deadly squall which also killed his wife and 3 piglets.

He gave one of his piglets, named '''Turkey Bacon Pork Sausage''', to [[Cavii Kero]] to keep.

He has formed a strange rivalry with the Dragonborns Sven and Ben, despite only having ever been helped by them. It's said to be because Sven was digging out the house Lyle was staying in when he collapsed into [[The Unravel]].

He earned the title of Sorghum Prince at the first annual Sorghum Fair, which was subject to a major Blowt attack.

=== Pierre Robes ===
Local Ravel Tailor, humanoid. Was staying in [[Cavii Kero]]'s cafe shop as temporary lodgings from the storm. Now a member aboard the '''Arctic Express''', a saw ship operated by Captain Crezzerin.

A [[Kenku]] professor at [[Xyneros]], a university in [[Osugbo]], who had nearly perfected [[human]]-like speech despite his people's ability to only mimic conversation. Also a trained [[Cleric]]. Was staying in [[Cavii Kero]]'s cafe shop as temporary lodgings from the storm.

=== Zugon Montane ===
A fisherman in [[Ravel]], unrelated to [[Zugs McFlair|Zugs]] or [[Montane Capella|Montane.]] Was staying in [[Cavii Kero]]'s cafe shop as temporary lodgings from the storm.

== The Unravel ==

=== [[Xilas LaCroix]] ===
A member of the [[La Croix]] dynasty, Xilas currently runs the estate and heads up all [[LaCroix]] operations in [[Ravel]], which has put him on close terms with [[The Unravel]] as they gather and amass power during the freeze. Was the master [[vampire]] who turned [[Jaxzo'Ilan]] into a [[Dhampir]].

Was ambushed by the slayer [[Tessa]] at one point but he escaped with 1 HP. He would plan an ambush and plot of revenge against Tessa and her forces, nearly taking out their whole team.

His son, another LaCroix, happened to have been intercepted by another group of heroes which included [[Kludzu]] during a midnight attempt to overtake the [[Xeo]] estate.

=== Aiken ===
An "acrobat" who works in the thieves guild under [[Ravel]], an area known as the "Unravel"

A rival scholar of [[Quimbleton|Quimbleton's]], who taught as '''Drȳcræft Drīfan University of Magicks.''' Was killed in battle trying to protect the Manquel [[Lush Pocket]].

From that fatal battle, three of his allies, a Goliath, an Aarakocra named Tim, and a Kitsune, all survived and were captured by Ravel authorities.

=== Althia Arcanthia ===
An [[elf]] and fellow teacher, though her school of residence is still unknown. Was staying in [[Cavii Kero]]'s cafe shop as temporary lodgings from the storm. She came from [[Balabag]] during a tense time when the city was looking to spy on [[Ravel]]. Her treacherous ways were discovered, and she was turned over to the city, who then turned her over to [[The Unravel]] to process her interrogation. However, the heroes argued for leniency in her case as she was only a scholar looking for money to aid in her investigations of the [[Blowted]]. This leniency, however, fell on deaf ears.

She avoided being interrogated when a group of [[Wendigo]] interrupted the interrogator, [[Silent Wind]], and after some other heroes of the city saved her from the Wendigo, they brought her back to the city, suggesting she be kept indefinitely imprisoned for her own safety until the Wendigo invasion was over.

=== Ennui ===
A [[tiefling]] spy from [[Balabag]] who was staying in [[Cavii Kero]]'s cafe shop as temporary lodgings from the storm. He was discovered after he tried to backstab some heroes out on the ice, and they turned him over to the city (and thus he was taken to [[The Unravel]] for interrogations). While in the Unravel, he was interrogated violently and terrifyingly by the [[Aarakocra]] known as [[Silent Wind]], who then locked him in a small cage, a cage that in turn protected him from an outbreak of [[Wendigo]] in the quarters. Afterwards, Silent Wind bargained to keep him imprisoned, saying that he still had more to answer for and deserved to be kept in the Unravel until the guild was done with him.

== Manquel ==

=== Fergus Remerson ===
A bit of a grump who runs the general store in [[Manquel]], almost killed the whole town by ordering mystical [[Whale]]-Bone flutes which seemed to summon the [[Blowted]]

=== Hollowfoot ===
An [[druid]] [[harengon]] who has lived in [[Manquel]] seemingly for as long as Manquel has been around. She is an herbalist and has ties to [[Fridtjof]], as well to a [[drow]] Necromancer named Pelan who lives in Ravel.

=== Kiun Xeo ===
A powerful druid and wealthy landowner originally from Ravel, Kiun Xeo owns and operates the Xeo Estate, which he currently has passed over to the control of the [[Cult]] of Amaun, while he himself hides out safely in the nearby town of Manquel, safe in the Manquel Bastion alongside his two protective golems.

== Player Quest NPCs ==
These NPCs weren't necessarily a part of the overall equaiton, but have come to prominence through [[Player]] backstories or features (like Henchkeepers)

=== The Philosophers of Erd ===
A traveling circus that [[Eltolinda]] was a part of. Separated shortly before the freeze took hold. Said to be holding up in [[Balabag]] now.

=== Petro ===
A friend of Laris'. An artist living in [[Ravel]] whose status is unknown. <s>He was declared possibly dead by the city.</s>

<s>He contracted the [[Wendigo]] disease and his ashes are now buried behind [[Cavii Kero]]'s [[The Fantasial Freeze/Bastion|Bastion]]</s>

He was reincarnated as a [[Blowted|Blowt]].

=== Ravvi ===
Short for "Ravioli", a [[Choeru]] (Capybarafolk) who was listed in the Ravel city book of the dead as having died...then mysteriously erased.

=== [[Dark Silvio]] ===
The henchman of [[Seven (Fantasial Freeze)]], a grumbly little guy, who's ex's name is Serg (Serg is part of the [[Amaun]] cult now).

=== Throk Burnale ===
A [[dwarf]] of the [[Burnale Clan]] who left the clan after they turned to thievery and other conniving activities in the frost, instead opting to travel with the kind hearted [[changeling]] known as [[Luv]]

=== Maynard ===
Maynard is [[My Neighbor Craig|Neighbor's]] boyfriend, a pig folk that she was seeing when the Freeze hit. A bit of a lowlife and lazy bum, he and Neighbor moved into his mother's basement to have somewhere warm to stay during the freeze. He was a driving force as to why Neighbor decided to get out into the Freeze and adventure in the first place...because the alternative was to sit in a basement and hear Maynard complain more about how unoptimized the stratagem of the public response has been and how he could do SO much better if he had any say in things. Like...okay Maynard we get it, please go back to reading your cheap scroll filth and eating your stink juice bugs.

=== Assiniboine ===
The donkey that belongs to [[Takeshi]], he's cute and harmless but carries all of Takeshi's portable library, so he is strong of spirit and hoof.

=== Hollowfoot ===
An ancient and wise [[Harengon]] said to be living in [[Manquel]] even before it was called Manquel. She is someone that [[Fridtjof]] is looking for.

Cavii Kero

2025-04-19T23:54:07Z

Wizardess: updated history, languages

{{Infobox_character|name={{PAGENAME}}|image=|caption="You live a lot longer if no one wants you dead."|playerName=Victoria Jones (aka Vic, vix)|alias=Don Cavii|marital=widower|birthPlace=|species=choeru|gender=male|height=5' 1"|weight=~120 lbs|eyes=bronze, amber}}<blockquote>"I Heard About You...On the Other Side" - '''[[Dark Silvio]],''' brought back from the brink of death., having seen it. </blockquote>'''{{PAGENAME}} '''is a dabbler of sorts, a drinker of wines, a cracker of jokes, and a friend to all. His insatiable curiosity, quick wit, and amiable nature endear him to the average adventurer. Above-average adventurers, however, might try (and likely fail) to resist his charms, knowing all too well the power of seeming thoroughly harmless.

He is a gentleman, a mystic, and a scholar.

== Physical Appearance ==
Cavii is exceedingly short of stature. He stands at just 5' 1" when standing fully upright, which he nearly never does. His hunched posture is ostensibly explained by his age - at 77 years old, he is quite elderly for a choeru. However, with how often his close friends cajole him with cries of, "Sit up straight, young man," one might think that he has far more physical prowess than his appearance suggests. Nevertheless, he walks with the aid of his staff. He is of slightly above average weight, with a healthy wine-and-cheese-fed paunch. His weight is not easy to discern, in truth, due to the many layers of fabric that he swaddles himself in.

His clothing is simple and down-to-earth, albeit layered. His pants are loose and flowy, just skimming the floor. While his underlayers are rather forgettable in their beiges and muted greens, his coat, which he wears in all types of weather, is unique. Time has muted the colors and pattern and left it quite understated, but years ago it must have been a dazzling array of jewel tones and metallic detailing. On his left ring finger, he wears a golden band which is covered in small nicks and dents. He often fiddles with it.

Cavii's face is kind. His eyes are, in his eyes, brown, but those who meet him usually choose words like "bronze" or "amber" to describe them, as "brown" fails to convey their knowing-yet-playful gleam. He has thick eyelashes and a slow way of blinking. His facial/body fur was chestnut in youth, but age has turned it hoary. He grows his whiskers out into a mustache, and he styles it with wax.

== Personality ==

== History ==
Five years ago, Cavii moved to Ravel to be close to his brother, Ravii, in retirement. His retirement plans included building an adventurer's library and opening his own cafe. Of course, with the limited lodging and rations post-Freeze, he has since opened Cavii's Colloquy and Cafe (The 3C, for short) to the public as a resource. With Savile and Adebimpe's help, a garden has been appended onto the main building and provides fresh rations. Turkey Bacon Pork Sausage, the pig obtained from Farmer Lyle, also lives in the garden

== Languages ==
Cavii is a polyglot. The exact number of languages he can speak fluently is unknown, but he knows a few words of almost any language he encounters.

Confirmed known languages: Common, Grung, Loxodon, Elvish, Draconic

== Powers and Abilities ==
[powers/abilities here]

== Attacks and Weapons ==
Most who have witnessed Cavii fight are now dead. Whether that is due to his combat abilities or age is yet to be seen.
