Character Sheet for Hope Lockewood
Species
Half-Daemon (Fox); Half-Human-Catfolk (Family life is complicated)
Character Description
Hope Lockewood (Imp)-who will absolutely not tolerate being called "Hope Lockewood"- makes a living taking local quests at the tavern, and spends his free time either drinking or lounging around his cabin. He also spends some of his time talking to his friends, and on occasion, will even lift a finger to help them out.
Being a half-daemon, he inherited his father's magic, which primarily deals with degradation (poison/acid based).
As a half-daemon, Imp's inborn magic is unstable and is contained via the small bijou sealed on his head. Should the gem be broken via emotional strain or a powerful direct blow, the magic will be released and cause Imp to become a mindless feral with horrifying power (for about ten minutes, before his body deteriorates from the intense magic).
Personality
Imp is a man (daemon) of few words, usually conversing with no more than a short sentence and always answering questions directly. He's proud, confidant, strong-willed, short-tempered, stoic, and aloof.
His tragic and lonely past have left Imp with a tough exterior, however, he maintains a soft heart for friends and family (though he doesn't like to show it).
Imp's ego is rather fragile, and he will often get defensive if someone challenges his idea that he's an unstoppable beast.
Imp places a lot of value in his friendships, and will put his own life second to those of his friends if they are in danger.

Background/History
Imp grew up with is father, who told him the story of how his mother died shortly after birth -she was hunted and burned by an anti-daemon group for having lain with a daemon. Due to the public's unease of daemons, Imp was not allowed into school, and was educated by his father between quests. From a young age, Imp had trouble controlling his powers, his father tried to teach him, however it wasn't until he met Prince Alexander that he was able to fully contain and control his magic. He and Alex quickly became best friends (both were mostly cut off from normal society and were able to see each other because their fathers' were long-time friends), and winded up dating for several years. When Imp was fourteen, his father died while out on a quest, Imp went through such emotional distress that his bijou cracked, causing him to be sent into a violent rampage in the middle of town, wounding several people and causing damage to nearby shops, Alex managed to break through to him long enough for them to repair his bijou. Alex's father (the king), waved the charges brought upon him for the indecent due to his relation with Imp's father. Imp locked himself in his cabin for a month, after which he emerged and took his first quest from the tavern, despite protests from Alex who said it was too dangerous. Two years later, Alex's father died and being the oldest heir to the throne, he was forced into the position of king, Imp tried comforting him, both now orphans, however, with the new responsibilities of being king taking all his time, Alex broke up with Imp and the two dropped communication for the following few years. Around this time, Imp met Hildegaurd who was aspiring to be head of the king's guard; she was a kind girl who comforted him after the loss of his father and only friend. Imp and Alex eventually repaired their lost friendship and are once again comfortable being in the same room together.
Imp is about to enter a new chapter in his life, one where he will meet many new friends and allies, uncover things he never knew about his family, and unveil secrets that effect all of Seavalia.

World/Setting
Imp lives in a cabin his father built, just outside Seavalia's capital city, Aria. Aria is a seaport city, and is blocked off by thickly wooded areas with magically protected paths through them for trade caravans, and any wandering adventurers. At the center of Aria resides the King's palace, encircled by a lovely plaza outlined with shops selling adventuring gear, armor, weapons, magical equipment, potions, and various things for the commoners such as furniture and home tools. The castle houses Seavalia's largest collection of knowledge in it's private library in the right wing, and the sleeping chambers and other basic castle necessities in the left wing. Seavalia as a whole is an island country, with the only nearby "country" being the small island dubbed "Dragonspire island" by the people of Seavalia; all attempts to establish contact with the people of Dragonspire have failed, and the past leaders of Seavlia decided it was best to just leave it alone due to the lore that surrounded it. Seavalia is currently in the midst of a minor civil war, between the King's army and a group of rebels based out of the west cost.
(I'll put more info on Seavalia somewhere else)
Body
Imp is medium in height, coming up to around 5'08", he's fit and lean thanks to years of rough adventuring.
Though he's technically only one-fourth catfolk, Imp primarily shows feline traits in his long tail and short muzzle, while his fox-daemon ancestry contributes to his large ears and longer fur. His human traits come through only in him not having pads on his hands.
Imp has two short horns, both on the left side of his head, black non-retractable claws, and digitigrade legs.
His fur is beige with a patch of black on his lower back and tail.
Clothing
Imp prefers to wear clothes that cover little of his body, finding it uncomfortable.
He usually wears his waistcoat and open-front wrap.
Accessories
Sword, messenger bag, jewelry (when older)
