Zephir Nightpounce
A flicker in the dark, a whisper on the wind—Zephir Nightpounce is a relic hunter who treads where others dare not, unraveling the secrets of forgotten places.
Name: Zephir Nightpounce
Race: Tabaxi
Class/Role: Relic Hunter, Shadowy Wanderer (Rogue – Inquisitive)
Age: 29
Appearance: Zephir Nightpounce is sleek and agile, his midnight-black fur marred only by faint streaks of silver along his face and tail. His golden eyes gleam like a predator’s, and his whiskers twitch with an ever-present awareness of his surroundings. His movements are silent, deliberate, and unnervingly precise, like a shadow that never quite belongs.
His attire is practical and well-worn—a dark hooded cloak, reinforced leather armor, and a bandolier lined with throwing knives, lockpicks, and vials of strange powders. He carries a curved, rune-etched dagger at his hip, a tool as much for ritual as for survival. His padded boots leave little trace, and the scent of aged parchment and old dust clings faintly to him, betraying his true passion—delving into forgotten ruins in search of history’s lost treasures.
Backstory
Born beneath a moonless sky in a hidden jungle enclave, Zephir grew up listening to legends of vanished civilizations, ancient curses, and the treasures left behind. Unlike most of his kin, he did not crave shiny trinkets, but forgotten knowledge—the pieces of history that lay buried beneath time’s weight.
His first delve was at fifteen years old, slipping through a crumbling temple’s cracks to retrieve a half-buried relic no scholar had seen in centuries. That night, he dreamed of a place he had never been, of whispered warnings in a language lost to time. From that moment, his fate was set.
