Mercurio Scordato

Born he doesn't remember when, due to an accident his body and soul were altered, becoming a disembodied, a creature more connected to the ethereal plane and through that his mind was scrambled, he lost his original class(Grave Domain Cleric)...He wandered for days, trying to find reminders of who he was he was happened upon by some new people... 

A group of horrible people... Realizing the power that he held they wasted no time shaping his identity into exactly what they needed, through suggestion, gaslighting and well, good ol fashion torment, until he became Mercurio, a loyal soldier who was able to phase into the ethereal to hunt down any who opposed them that originally evaded them by using spells such as blink, or misty step. 

But the Gods of Fate are tricksters, and played what would be a most cruel joke in Mercurio's eyes upon him, and in the heat of a combat, an orb of poison left his hands. A spell. Horrified he turned to his comrades, his allies... The code was simple, his fate to them was clear. He was to be killed like all the others, but they granted him slight mercy, a three day grace period to run as fast and as far as he could. 

Now as a Fate Domain Cleric he twists and turns the threads to assist his new allies as a part of a squad meant to deal with the Hell Spore infection at their true source from the fungus that spawned from the hells, as he grapples with who he is, and the person and roles that he once was.

Design Notes and Character Details

Right so fate domain is combining a cleric with a chronomancer.

Mecurio is 76 years old(However he looks more in his mid to late 20s due to the disembodied thing) and stands at a towering 6'8"

Angst that follows Drawfest community guidelines is encourage, whump it up with this fellow he's been through the wringer and I want to see what people what to do with his backstory beats and the turmoil. 

Feel free to have him having a mental breakdown over his own identity, he primarily hears the voices of his old party whom passed away and his old self trying to instruct him to make better choices instead of doing the twisted deeds he commits now. 

His hair and tail glow that's a fun fact, alongside up his calves, and to his elbows think space and the shifting colours of the ethereal.

Hermes(His original self) is a character made for a Sands of Fate dnd campaign and we are just level 3 in there after helping retrieve stuff for for the Threadend crew in a sunken ship. He was a good soul who was from Eberron and worshiped the Undying Court. He plants marigolds around the bodies of the dead to help the souls rest peacefully, as such the sight of a marigold causes Mercurio intense distress and the voice of Hermes in his head grow too loud. 

His eyes are reflective and glow in the dark alongside those little red markings on his face, yes he regularly gives away the party while sneaking with all the glow effects. 

He is highly protective of those who he sees as his wards, as such defends them as viciously and as violently as needed. 

Mercurio uses a rod of mercurial form and has both simple and martial proficiencies so you can draw him using any weapon!
