Popo
By: Rognvaldr Date: March 27, 2016, 6:43 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
In the small, remote village of Ishtar, Popo was raised an
Orphan. When his parents died to the great famine of 1350, he
was recovered by Brother Shirri and taught the ways of the
Ishtar Warrior Monks. He and the monks protected the village
from countless foes and gave relief through plague and famine.
He refined their technique of extending the will of his Ki into
his weapons, becoming like an extension of himself.
Decades had gone by and peace seemed here to stay, but a great
force from beyond the sea landed on their shore, heralding the
emblem of a great violet butterfly.

Using fierce magic these invaders obliterated the people, great
insect swarms of brilliant color swept across the land, lead by
a massive ethereal butterfly which blasted the land with arcane
energy.

Although the warrior monks put up a gallant fight, it was
quickly clear that their only option was to stall long enough
for their people to run. Using their anti-mage techniques,
stunning and knocking the casters and their armies prone, they
desperately defended. One figure at the back of the enemy lines
flooded the battlefield with virulent insects, which slipped
easily based the monks barricade. On a suicide mission Brother
Shirri and the senior monks rushed through the enemy armies
brandishing radiant fields, protecting them from enemy attacks.
In their blind rush, only Brother Shirri made it through to the
archmage summoning the insect plagues. As he begins striking his
foe, his radiant shield breaks. It is clear to Popo that his
master is attempting a lethal technique which only the highest
at the Temple of Ishtar know. As he conducts the first maneuvers
with his hands, striking the vital glands of the Archmage's
body, his body guards collapse. Just before the final strike at
the Archmage's heart, the horn of a giant rhinoceros beetle
pierces through Shirri. The remaining monks see that there is no
hope of victory and route, they sacrifice themselves to get
young Popo to safety. The last of the monks brought Popo to
safety aboard the Civilian escape vessel, as the last monk was
struck down by a magic blast he shouted, "Continue the teachings
of Ishtar!!! You're the future!"

Popo Looks like a darker skinned Jeff Bridges

Popo sports blue shorts (the equivalent to renaissance
boardshorts) and a tan/orange animal skin/suede jacket with his
emblem on the back I suppose best represented by something like
a Naruto jacket

.

"I call that move hihimanu keanu, or 'flying gentle breeze' in
my language."
Ola'i: Earth tremor jump attack
"...I'm from Ishtar, the land of the monks of the cool ocean
breeze technique, in our language we call it, 'Kai-Keanu'." Popo
shows him the back of his tunic, to show off his koi mon and
feathered helmet
HTML http://dndgurnee.createaforum.com/a-short-introduction-to-your-character!/popo/<br
/>"... but all that is only history now." Popo hangs his head in
sorrow, "I was taught by Brother Shirri of the Kai-Keanu Temple
how to live by the Kaikeanu code. After our exile, Ishtar's
village elder Geck Moo and I survived together on this
continent. He taught me this language and something about the
ancient ways... I think he hoped I could be his heir, but he...
fell too soon and I learned too slowly."
