Joss  Pookie

Description

Josephus (Joss to his friends)...
Extravagant, outgoing and at 6 ft 4 inches and a wispy 140 lb, with turquoise skin and sky blue hair, Joss tends to stand out from (and above the heads of) the crowd. Devoted to both Shelyn (The Eternal Rose - Goddess of art, beauty, love, and music) and high fashion, Joss is usually seen glamorously adorned in glittering elven chain with tastefully placed chiffon scarves.
Other noticeable physical features include piercing aquamarine eyes that can penetrate the darkness, fin-like ears and webbing between the fingers. Though not often seen, Joss can exist as easily under water as on land and he has a tolerance of the cold. Such is his affinity, that returning to the water enables him to heal minor physical injury.

Pookie

Joss has a pet Pseudodragon called Pookie. He's a noncombatant who is mostly present to document the trials and tribulations of the party, though he is able to scout when asked and will stuff a potion into a fallen colleague's throat if the situation seems dire.

Languages

Perhaps due to his Undine heritage, Joss has had a fascination with languages from other planes and has made it his mission to study more of them.
Knowing that he was headed into Dwarven lands, he recently studied their language.
Known: Abyssal, Aquan, Auran, Celestial, Dwarven, Infernal, Terran

History

Joss has always had a flair for the arts, but this led him to a deepest love of the divine source rather than the art itself. Picked on as a child due to his unusual looks, Joss found solace in the temple where he spent so much of his time. He was soon singled out as an exceptionally gifted orator and took orders in the church itself, eventually leading to a life of adventure on the road, where he is able to spread the word of Shelyn.

Demeanour

Joss tries to be the epitome of cool. It's fair to say that he tries a bit too hard and doesn't always pull it off, but as a representative of Shelyn he considers this look to be part of his calling and tries to live up to it.
Joss takes pleasure in all forms of arts and craft, from the humblest children's drawing to the works of the masters and he proselytises the worship of his patron to all those who show even a tiniest interest in the arts.
Through Shelyn, Joss can protect and empower his allies, compel and sway the minds of others, bring healing to those in need and summon powerful allies from the further planes.
