Kerbasi

Kerbasy

About My Character

Kerbasi's (also spelled Kerbasy) a young deathpriest from the Phurai Dae tribes of the Vast. He's kind of a dork. He reads books on embalming at children's story hour, for instance, or tends to drop into awkward commentary while rubbing at the back of his neck.

He's generally good at what he does, and was more recently noted for help in the "rescue" of an arvek nar named Acleese--who he gave work in the Temple as a clerk. The two geeks are now the best of friends. Caring for the local Temple is what he seeks to do, while also studying all those awesome embalming rites and bonfire rituals other cultures seem to possess.

Roleplay Hooks

• Kerbasy is an advisor to undead hunters, and crafts weapons and armor for them
• He shares an interest in historical and famous grave sites
• Books about strange, unusual, and fun funerary practices
• He serves as a counselor for the dead and the still living
• He used to write letters to the family of soldiers who had passed on the field, until Acleese took over this duty
• During legal or funerary disputes, he can be called upon to speak with the dead and ascertain their last wishes
• He has a passing interest in cartography and calligraphy, but not the time or focus to pursue it
• He's an active member of the Vardaman Temple in Alexandria, is often overworked, and forgets to do basic things for himself, such as washing his hair
• He is an amateur poet (read: awful)
• As both practical and as a fund-raiser, he can be inquired with the Vardamens' pre-written funeral arrangements and coffins. For example, they provide yearly updated measurements for adventurers to ensure that final fit, as well as additional engraving services (such as marking a recent heroic event, along the coffin's sides). They will also research your culture, and record your preferences for final arrangements.
