Hijiri

The apprentice mages of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria will tell you Hijiri’s war paint is a tally of slain foes, each stripe a life extinguished. They see the Mega Sabre, the wrinkled mouth, and whisper stories of a battle-hardened chimper seeking solace among the glowing rocks. In reality, Hijiri was a comedian. They arrived in the Highlands with a failed stage act and a collection of props. The paint was part of a routine that never got a laugh, and they were too lazy to wash it off. Since then, they’ve simply leaned into the misunderstanding, finding that a fearsome reputation gets them better service and the quietest tables. The only battle they wage these days is against hecklers, and their sharpest weapon is a well-timed, withering glare.
