Inovi is a Wanderborne Clank Sorcerer created by a nomadic community to be a mobile source of warmth, light, and protection in the dark world of the Daggerheart mini-campaign, Red Rranos.
Physical Appearance
Inovi was built to be a walking furnace with an ever-burning flame, one that could scorch the flesh of monsters in the dark as well as warm an entire campsite of nomads at night. He is tall and bulky, covered head to toe in rough, heavy plates of dark gray and black metal, with grates placed throughout where the fire that flows through his hollow frame can emit its light through or be expelled out of for defensive purposes. A grated door in the construct's stomach opens to a crucible-like cavity in his body where flame is magically generated, which can then be piped to all the other parts of his body from within. His face consists of two lantern-like eyes and a grated plate in place of a mouth, and two horn-like exhaust pipes snake out from the top of his head, usually emitting ashy smoke from their ends. Similar exhaust pipes jut from Inovi's back as well. A coil of overlapping metal plates drapes down from Inovi's waist and strapped to the side of it is a ragged backpack seemingly stuffed with junk. A threadbare children's doll with black button eyes is strapped to the opposite side, notably unaffected by the intense heat of the construct's stomach furnace despite being so close to it. Seemingly welded onto Inovi's chassis sometime after his creation, several thick chains fall limply from certain parts of the construct including his back, shoulders, and arms. While walking, the chains drag along the ground behind Inovi like a long cape.
Personality
Inovi was not made to have much of a personality, but as his purpose was to provide home and hearth to his community, he developed a gentle and protective nature despite his intimidating visage. Inovi also was not created to talk very much, so he has a bit of a hard time doing so when he tries. He speaks in a slow and strained manner, referring to himself in the third person whenever he talks. He is steadfast in his intention to complete the purpose he was designed for, even now devoid of his original creators.
History
Inovi was built some time ago by a nomadic community that was desperate for protection and light as the world grew darker around them. Inovi served his role well for many years, protecting his community as they traveled and slept, keeping them warm and able to see even when the darkness was deep and cutting. And even when his burgeoning personality became an annoyance to some members of his community's leadership, he always strived to live up to his designated purpose every day. But one day, something arrived that Inovi could not drive away, nor explain in the aftermath. He was awoken in the night, though by what he didn't know. His flame wouldn't light, no matter how hard he tried. He could see no threat nor hear any struggle, but in his core, he felt that something horrible was actively happening in the silence. He continued to try and light his magical flame as he stumbled around his community's camp in the pitch darkness, until after several hours his light finally sparked to life, only to reveal that everyone was gone. No blood on the ground, nor damage to any tents was visible; belongings left exactly where they were before the community slept. But no living soul could be found, and Inovi learned what it was like to be alone for the first time.
Inovi gathered the belongings of his community -- his family -- did the only thing he could think to do: wander. He wandered as his community once did, but now with no one to warm by his fire, nor illuminate with his light. Yet, he still felt a pull towards his purpose, but a deeper aspect of it this time: a long-term goal designated deep in his mind by his original creators, one that they were not even sure would be possible. With no other part of his purpose able to be fulfilled, however, it was the only part that Inovi could strive for now. And so, the construct ventured into the dark, ever wandering and ever searching for the thing that could finally complete his mission.
Powers and Abilities
Inovi bends the power of his ever-burning flame to his will in combat, shaping it into many types of attacks such as beams, bolts, and explosions. His bulky frame also grants him considerable strength, especially when combining physical motions with jets of fire he can expell from his back for extra force.
Attacks and Weapons
Inovi carries a large metal fire poker with him which he can stick into the furnace in his stomach to gather fire around it's tip and then sling it outwards towards enemies, sending a bolt of collected flame arcing towards them. Inovi can also superheat parts of his metal body to inflict searing physical attacks with red hot metal. Inovi also uses the chains stuck to his back, shoulders, and arms like whips, mostly cracking them in an intimidating fashion to create distance between himself and anything that gets too close.
