Appearance:
Dumas like all Pixies, stands at one foot tall with pointed ears. His skin is white like snow, as is his eyes and hair. Dumas keeps his hair in a perpetual state of spikiness, perhaps magically. His body has far more scars on it than the average Pixie as he fights a lot more than his kin. This high level of physical activity has led to Dumas having a toned and athletic build. Like other Pixies, Dumas has insect-like wings. In his case it is eight translucent blue wings. Like all Pixies Dumas can use magic to become human sized, in his case 5’8’’.
When it comes to his attire, Dumas is quite different than other Pixies. While Pixies are usually seen wearing basic clothing made out of plants, Dumas is much more inspired by the fashion of the Human lands. He can be found wearing a hooded shirt, pants, and boots. Colour wise he prefers clothes that are similar in color to his wings.
History:
For untold centuries Pixies lived in the hidden places of the world. They lived through the ages of Titans, Dragons, and now the lesser races. One such hidden place where Pixies lived was the deep woods just east of Loch Oberia, in the Empire of Oberia. It was there that over a century ago that Dumas was born. Born the thirteenth child of a Pixie couple, he was considered a bad omen because he was the thirteenth. This led to other Pixies avoiding Dumas when he was a child. He struggled to find his place in his family among all his other siblings.
Once Dumas was old enough to begun his studies, his parents decided that he would be a herbalist. While Dumas did have an aptitude for it, he had a nagging notion in his mind that this wasn’t what he was supposed to do with his life. Dumas’s world would change dramatically when he was convinced to sneak out of the woods by some other young Pixies. They would leave the wood and travel south to the city of Dhamos-Tyrr.
The Pixies would immediately stand out in the city, as their kind was a rare sight to the other races. Dumas and the others would buy some goods, including clothing that Dumas liked. But their spending would draw attention, as a bandit tried to rob them. Dumas would defend himself, getting into the first fight of his life, managing to defeat the bandit. The rush Dumas felt from fighting would forever change him.
When the Pixies returned to the deep wood, they were chastised by the elders. But Dumas didn’t care, as he began to rebel. Getting into fights with other Pixies, leaving the wood to explore Oberia. It was while traveling Oberia that Dumas would discover a portal door. Created by the Titans of legend, these doors linked locations all over the world, but could only be seen by magical beings.
Using these doors, Dumas traveled to the other continents, doing a lot of self-discovery. Dumas would spend many years traveling the world, going from portal door to portal door. He would eventually return to the deep wood of his birth, a much more mature Pixie. Seeing how he changed for the better, the elders decided to accept him as their representative to the outside world.
Dumas would also train to become a Knight of the Deep Wood, the protectors of the Pixie community. For several decades now Dumas defends his home and represents them in his travels. But for a few years now nothing interesting has happened to the Pixies. That was until the star fell from the sky, hitting a far off mountain range.
Abilities:
As a Pixie, Dumas can naturally fly with his wings, able to move at the relative speed of a falcon. He is also naturally magical, being connected to the innate mana of the world. This allows him to detect magic and see through illusions. This innate magic allows him to cast spells with out learning them beforehand. But this magic is chaotic in nature and can backfire very easily. A simple fireball spell could explode in Dumas’s face for example. The greater the magic Dumas calls upon, the more chaotic it becomes. One spell that Dumas has mastered is transforming from a foot tall into the size of a Human and back.
Unlike other Pixies, Dumas is a fighter. After a century of getting into fights, Dumas has become quite a good brawler, able to hold his own. In recent decades, Dumas has begun to train with a sword as he accepted into the Order of Deep Wood Knights. Dumas is now skilled with a blade, able to use various forms and stances. Dumas can also incorporate his magic into combat, such as throwing lightning bolts or summoning vines to ensnare his opponent.
Outside of magic and combat, Dumas is a skilled acrobat, having trained on the giant, ancient trees of his home. He uses these skills while flying, being able to use many different maneuvers while in the air. Dumas also is a trained herbalist, knowing what plants will heal what ailment.
Reason for accepting this task:
Whenever Pixies need to interact with the outside world, they generally turn to Dumas. When the fallen star hit the Dragonspine mountains, the Pixies were alarmed. So they sent Dumas to investigate, which seemed fun to Dumas so he accepted.
