Iconic Pyromancer: Dhegan Tagaar

Dhegan Tagaar was a goblin wizard. Adopted and taught by humans. He wished to create a sovereign goblin nation. Loves screaming, curling up with a good book, biting, long walks on the beach, and setting things on fire.

He’s got hubby belly and cheeks, but skinny arms and legs. Large hawk nose, big bat-like ears, and a wide mouth full of perfectly pointy sharky teeth, as well as a knobby chin. He stands at 2-foot-10-inches, with eggplant purple skin. His hair is white and fluffy with an undershave. He has prominent muttonchops. His eyes are Large, yellow and bulgy. He wears eyeliner and paints his claws black.

Dhegan is usually dressed in fine yet worn clothes, preferring his dusty coat with tears at the ends along with a cravat and waistcoat.

Dhegan in a universalist wizard, and has no schools barred to him. He prides himself on being a fire-tamer, a class of goblin mages that allow the fire they conjure to scar them to better understand the magic they wield. Dhegan’s scars are on the palms of his hands. He also has a lot of illusion and trickery spells, and spells that would allow for an easy escape. Background: A young merchant couple hired a group of adventurers to protect them from goblin bandits that raided a mountain pass they were traveling. The adventurers made swift work of the bandits… and their wives… and their children. The merchants, horrified by the violence and feeling guilty about all of the murder, kept them from killing the last goblin. A baby. They adopted that goblin and named him Davey. Davey had a hard time fitting in in the human town. All of the McLeod’s neighbors were at best, suspicious, and at worst, openly hostile towards Davey. He was attacked multiple times, prompting the McLeods to keep their goblin son indoors. Without friends, Davey read books, wrote poems and drew to pass the time. He wanted to learn magic to defend himself from enemies, since no matter what he did, people would always be bigger and stronger than him. The McLeods saved up enough to buy him a private tutor to teach him some magic, as well as some books and scrolls. He took to them quickly, and after years of studying, finally became a wizard. Once he had become a wizard, Davey had wanted to study magic further at the small mage's school in Saxton Vale, however, his letters had been ignored, and his tutor would not stake his reputation on a goblin, as he had hoped to keep this job fairly hush-hush. His parents, as well, worried it would be too dangerous. so he tried to go to the mage's school on his own, and was promptly caught and accused of stealing scrolls, when he was found with several scrolls he had written himself. He was arrested and interrogated until he finally confessed to stealing the scrolls, but before they could go through with his punishment Davey escaped and burned down the jailhouse, along with several other buildings in Saxton Vale as he escaped, never to return. He met up with a band of goblins, and, finding the type of acceptance he hadn’t gotten from humans, and decided that he was going to make it his job to protect them. He changed his name to Dhegan Tagaar (literally new-flame instigator) meaning fire-starter in the goblin tongue. With these goblins he planned to found a sovereign goblin nation, by force if necessary, which it almost certainly would be.

What would Dhegan do if he were to encounter a vampire baby?

Try to find their parents. Who just leaves a baby out? That’s irresponsible! If he can’t find anyone to take care of it, he’d probably try to raise it, and if it never aged, he’d be very distressed.

🌈 🍩?

What makes Dhegan Happy?The best way to cheer Dhegan up is with the three F’s, Food, Friends, and Fire. (Eating good food, being around his friends, and getting to talk about his special interests and/or set things on fire)What does Dhegan think of himself? Dhegan has an overall positive outlook on himself. For a long time he struggled with self hatred, but after changing a lot in his life, and with the support of his friends, he’s been better about thinking good things about himself and smothering his self-doubt. Particularly, he believes himself to be both smart and compassionate, perhaps also creative. On a good day he can even convince himself he’s handsome, however, that takes more effort.
