NPC 019: Zaphus
🕑 Added 2025-07-10 06:03:43 +0000 UTCFog or mist in thay'varash, Zaphus is a light hearted, tomboy of a woman. Raised by monster hunters, she's got a sharp eye and a quick wit. Unlike most species of the world, thay'valay marksmen are well known for their powerful and deadly cabalests. These runic crossbow-like weapons utilize magnetic runes to increase the velocity of their deadly, sizable bolts. The weapon sports an easy reloading sled, able to be manipulated by swapping the magnetic polarities to push or pull the sled and bolt. Mix this in with the fact the weapon appears as large as a ballista to normal sized folk and you have an excellent tool for dispatching monstrosities.
In Zaphus case, she matches the elusiveness of her namesake, keeping to camouflage and silently stalking prey. While she is no stranger to socializing, she rather enjoys the quiet and calm of seclusion with only the occasional meetup and gathering when loneliness bites at her mind. Though her pretty tomboyish looks and teasing attitude has made her the target of many potential suitors, she remains elusive. Often when she visits with others she makes the joke that she'll have the children of the first individual who could sneak up on her...
