Olezka Gorynynch
Appearance
Olezka is an odd looking one. With wild, wavy black hair that never seems to be combed right, stumpy horns, and vitiligo, he has been called both an eyesore and a curiosity. As a result of Zmei ancestry, he has patches of vitiligo on his skin; rather than snow-white, it is just barely tinged a grayish blue, the same color of the scales of the Zmei. His feathered ears and scaley tail are a similar color, though his tail is usually not visible beneath his thick jacket and long tunic.
Skills and Abilities
Despite his lineage, Olezka lacks the ability to breathe fire for extended periods of time. He can cough out tiny fireballs that he likes to put on his arrowheads, but any prolonged fire breathing dries out his throat and leaves him unable to speak until his throat is healed.
To make up for that, Olezka excels at archery. He hunts quite a bit and sells rare, thick hides to those who don’t want to trek into the snowy tundra for pelts. He is an excellent survivalist in tundra or alpine terrains.
Personality
Olezka is generally cheerful, but from his upbringing he can be a bit tactless and a devil’s advocate. He is prone to being excessive with his explanations, be it directions to the nearest pub or how to cleanly skin a deer. He is more likely to watch how people interact before interacting, as he doesn’t want to say anything stupid (but does anyways).
In tense situations a switch is flipped and he is all business, sometimes ignoring orders if he thinks his way is better. He can be proud and not ask for help, which leads to problems when he thinks he can handle it himself. Often, due to his survivalist upbringing, he can, but when he is in over his head he can be reckless.
