Appearance
Plipli is a lean black-scaled dragonborn with faint violet highlights along his horns and jawline. His silver eyes seem slightly too reflective in dim light, as though they are catching a second room behind the first. He stands with most of his weight on the balls of his feet, ready to move whenever someone says his name. His charcoal-gray robes are carefully mended, but never quite fit at the shoulders, and he wears one immaculate purple stole from his former temple beneath a weathered travel cloak. A small iron lantern hangs at his belt, though he rarely lights it.
Mannerisms
Plipli pauses before entering any room and watches its shadows for a heartbeat. He speaks softly in crowded places, taps two claws against his holy symbol when thinking, and instinctively straightens crooked candles, books, and door signs. When embarrassed, he gives a formal blessing to whatever object is nearest.
Personality
Plipli is unfailingly polite, quietly observant, and determined to be useful in mundane ways. He prefers repairing a broken latch or organizing a pantry to discussing his supernatural gifts. He has a dry sense of humor that appears at the worst possible moment, usually when something frightening is happening. Though he wants a normal life, he cannot resist helping people threatened by curses, spirits, or strange darkness.
Ideals
Mercy. No one should be condemned forever for one terrible choice, especially when they are willing to make amends.
Bonds
He keeps the purple stole of his former order and hopes to restore the name of the sanctuary he helped doom. He is quietly devoted to anyone who offers him ordinary kindness without demanding an explanation.
Flaws
He hides mistakes until they become dangerous because he expects honesty to bring punishment. He is suspicious of mirrors, refuses to sleep in rooms without a second exit, and can become evasive or cold whenever someone asks what really happened in the Shadowfell.
Quirks
Background
Plipli was born beneath a sky that had no stars. In the Shadowfell, his draconic blood manifested not as a proud elemental breath but as a talent for dimming candles, muting footsteps, and calling thin black flames from empty air. He was taken in by a secluded order that served as priests, wardens, and discreet intermediaries between mortal travelers and the powers of shadow. There, he learned scripture, ritual, and the careful art of making dangerous things look harmless. His exile came after a mission went wrong. Plipli helped conceal a bargain involving a living shadow, believing he was preventing a greater catastrophe. Instead, the bargain spread through the order, leaving several sanctuaries spiritually hollow. Plipli survived, but was blamed for opening the way. Banished from the Shadowfell and forbidden to return, he crossed into the mortal world with his prayer book, his lantern, and a curse of reputation he could not explain without sounding guilty. Now he tries to live an ordinary life as a traveling acolyte. He mends books, blesses doorways, takes honest work, and avoids ominous doorways whenever possible. Unfortunately, shadows still answer when he whispers, and the past has a long memory.
