Axolotl is a kobold, one of the youngest members of the Cabal of Wander-Wishers, and a student of the Deroulex Conservatory. They are a Draconic Sorcerer, though they would rather not be. Axolotl shows up in the D&D 5e open table campaign Curriculum of Chaos.
Physical Appearance
Axolotl is short, as is typical of a kobold. She stands at just 3’5. This, combined with her pink scales, gives her an appearance many would consider cute. She has two white horns that curve backwards on her head along with white spikes that trail down her back. Her tail also bears a few of these spikes. There are light pink, circular markings around her eyes that can almost make it look like she’s wearing glasses. Her eyes are red and can sometimes take on a bit of a harsh glow. Axolotl has a surprising amount of outfits, but most are usually some variation of white and red. Her favorite outfit is an off-the-shoulder white and red top with a small red bow, a matching ruffled skirt, and black pants.
Personality
Axolotl is shy at first meeting, and this shyness takes at least a few days to begin to dissipate. She has a tendency to stumble over her words, signifying the constant anxiety simmering under her scales. Axolotl tries not to let her anxiety stop her from being kind, though, and she tries to accommodate others when possible. She is at her most relaxed when singing old Draconic songs that she either remembers from her childhood or from her time traveling with the Cabal of Wander-Wishers. When she wrongs someone, she will prostrate herself and offer to enter into their service.
Axolotl’s personality only deviates when her curse flares up and the Scarlet Heart in her chest begins to demand that everything burn. In these moments, she becomes far more wrathful and willing to resolve encounters with extreme, fiery violence. Of course, after snapping out of it, Axolotl is always guilt-ridden and remorseful.
History
A brief history of your character's life.
Languages
Axolotl is fluent in five languages: Common, Common Sign Language, Draconic, Infernal, and Sylvan. She was raised to speak both Common and Draconic, so these are the languages she’s most comfortable falling back to. Draconic is probably her favorite language; speaking it allows her to feel a connection to her heritage that isn’t doused in a thousand flames. While studying to better control her fire magic, Axolotl turned to the Infernal magics of the Ten Hells. Though she was wise enough to avoid actually seeking out any devils, she found translated texts and sought out non-devil speakers like tieflings. Axolotl learned both Sign Language and Sylvan with the Cabal of Wander-Wishers. Specifically, she learned Sylvan from the cabal’s leader, Ziri, and Sign Language from Violi and Dusty—the resident bard and head cleric respectively.
Powers and Abilities
Most of Axolotl’s magic revolves around fire due to her red dragon “ancestor”, though she has a small interest in psychic spells as well. Burning Hands and Chromatic Orb are some of her primary methods of attack when conflict unfortunately becomes unavoidable. The former allows her to push back crowds of adversaries while the latter lets her launch concentrated fire at a specific target. Fire Bolt is a useful backup cantrip for when her more potent magic reserves are exhausted. Mage Hand is practical for retrieving things. She primarily uses Minor Illusion to create music to accompany the Draconic tunes she’s fond of humming. Mind Sliver represents the bit of psychic magic Axolotl has learned and, if necessary, she can hit someone with it before subjecting them to Burning Hands: this lessens their chances of avoiding the fire stream.
Attacks and Weapons
Axolotl’s choice of arcane focus is a silver rod topped with a ruby that has Draconic inscriptions along the length of it. She saved up enough money to buy it from a traveling merchant a few weeks before coming to the Deroulex Conservatory. It’s high quality enough to handle the heat of her magic without getting damaged (unlike the makeshift rods she used before buying it).
