Information

Though his true name is Feuras Aisumile Vuuod Bel-Ant Solleria-Hvalba​

Heritage_ Llasada, Spawn of Xeradon

Age_ 23
Gender_ Male, He/him
Occult Status_ Xeradon Godborn
Occupation_ Watcher of the Sea off the Coast of Hvalba​

Concept
Fols Arca is an adrenaline seeking Duelist Xeradon Spawn who has immersed himself in Hvali whaling culture, being an avid enjoyer of perilous oceanic voyages, and common dock-worker drama and politics, finding it all wonderful entertainment and conviction of character. He lords domain in the waters off Hvalba, and is the cause of the urban whaling legends of breathing shipwrecks-- and the infamous White Whale that many off the coast dream and languish hunting.​

Appearance
Fols Arca is a full blooded Fin'ullen, if shorter in stature than most at 5'2, though notably very athletic in build. Stripes, scars, and oceanic patterns crawl across his skin in reference to oceanic camouflage, with the expected dark hair of his heritage that he generally keeps tied back. He also keeps a whale-like tail behind him, marked with nicks and old scars.

His attire is often tattered and straight from the water. In his preferred armor, he is doused in fabrics and seaweed, tied down with iron armor and white rope, though often very revealing- to some apparent lack of care on his part. He will generally prefer breathable clothing that allow him to still swim freely, if he is forced to part from his weathered armor set.

Faith
As one of the children of Xeradon, he is a fighter and leader of his Father's Armies within the Deep Will. Combat and tests of strength are often his favorite means of introduction, and with his observation of undaunted sailors and whalers-- especially the ones who seek him out and often perish to the waves, is a profound hater of cowards who try to flee from disaster and danger. He especially praises the strength of the mundane, as the wildest and most riotous Ailor sailors needed no magic to hunt their quarry. ​

  Mechanics and Hobbies
  Fols is a fullblooded Fin'ullen, though also a child of Xeradon. His persistent chase of physical prowess leads to plenty of exercise and athleticism, to be able to otherwise mundanely fight at a higher level.
  
  Fullblood Heritage - Fin'ullen [Needs Updating]
  
  > Fin'ullen can Transform into Daphalar, turning part or whole parts of their body into Aquatic humanoids (think Merfolk), this is not a Disguise.
  > Fin'ullen can apply non-Magic aesthetics of deep-sea creatures and coral to their body without becoming Occult. This also includes clothes and weapons.
  > Fin'ullen can breathe underwater without any Abilities, and can also see perfectly underwater without it blurring their vision, allowing them to stay submerged indefinitely.
  > Fin'ullen can perform great feats of strength out of Combat (carry multiple people, throw boulders etc.). They also gain +5 in out of Combat dice roll Strength competitions.
  > Fin'ullen can use Persuasion /Dice on Spirits even without Charisma Proficiency, and gain a +2 Bonus while doing so.​
  
  Xeradon Godborn Mechanics
  
  > Sea Walker - You can breathe underwater and move with great speed (flywater Trait) while submerged and can see perfectly clearly underwater. You are also able to share your breath with one other person, though they do not become fast. This Mechanic does not grant Underwater Combat or Abilty usage.
  > Deep Sea Transformation - You can use a Deepsea Terror Transformation, changing into a nautical horror that counts as a Disguise. This counts as a Monstrous Transformation, and you will transform back to normal if you reach 0 HP in Combat. (Monstrous Transformations are illegal in Regalia).

Languages
Fols speaks Altalar due to his upbringing, but learned Common and Serdi from his watches in Hvalba and constant hearings of the language by the men. As a result much of his spoken Common is somewhat eccentric.​

Story Hooks The Whale

• 
  Story Hooks
  Fols Arca is a rough and tumble fighter who generally cares little more internal Regalian Politics, as he is here to find beasts to fight and warriors to trade blows with. He is naturally curious with City lifestyles and in particular the Fornoss population within Regalia, as he was raised and lived ashore from Hvalba, while milling about Crookback and the Sewers as well.
  
  
  > Xeradon's Deep Will
  Fols is a Xeradon Spawn and Fornoss worshipper, with Xeradon as his primary Patron observed, and enjoys spectacles of combat and strength. In some mild twist of his own hypocrisy, he loves Mage friends, but despises Mage opponents, finding magic to be a shortcut for physical labor and power.
  
  > The Pallid Whale
  Hvalba's "White Whale" legend is spawned of him and his activities in the seas near port harbor cities. Seasoned sailors and whalers in particular will warn of false shipwrecks that hide the pallid whale, lodged full of harpoons and ready to attack whaling ships to test the men of the ocean. It may appear on Regalia's shores yet.​
  
  
  > Mundanity in Crime
  Fols has a humorous and light love for crime. That is to say, he has watched and listened to the common dockworkers and their dramas, and especially of local mundane mafia crimes that are prevalent at some smaller harbors. He can be said to have some almost comedic admiration for the common Ailor man's struggles.​
  
  
  > The Fornoss Connection
  Having been raised off of Hvalba, and is naturally twined into the Fornoss faith due to his upbringing, having picked up much of his knowledge from whaling crews. Though he observes Xeradon primarily, he also favors the Vola's Nyxil and her history and influence. A bias of sorts.​
• 
  The White Whale
  The infamous "Breathing Wreck" or White Whale (Andningsvrak and Vit val, respectively, in Serdi) is Fols Arca's giant Sea-Terror form, the shape he takes when out on the open sea to combat both daring whalers and other deep sea monstrosities. The beast's form is based on the real-life sperm whale, with a pale and scarred body armored in the remains of previous whaling ships. It is said as time passes and whaling technology advances, the Whale's hull has taken a metallic coat, to thicken it's hide against the new-age explosive harpoons some now employ.
  
  The whale is known to do periodic migrations, though not always in pattern with mundane sperm whales in the region, and very often makes a habit of vanishing entirely despite the attempts of whaling crews to chase. However during the colder seasons it is pushed to move to warmer waters, a now expected habit associated with the White Whale, with some capitalizing on the lack of its presence to do more whaling off in the sea.

  The spawn of the evil's depths could have been fought-- or alone been heard of by word, by those who have traveled Hvalba's coasts. Though only so infamous to those who have lost parts of themself to the beast, DM for backstory connections, or feel free to simply reference.
