Bio:

A Carver is a title given to the notorious and often rampaging Vasprig as they are commonly known to ruthlessly and brutality cull and dismantle any lifeform unfortunate enough to stray too far into their vest often changing territory.

Esindhale is no different, but while this impulse to hunt and collect meat to feed the colony is naturally programed into them with pheromones of the queen often rendering them as mindless killing machines.

Esindhale was born outside the hive by unknown means, and thus has never actually seen the colony he is in servitude to, as they are never allowed back in after they begin their hunting cycles, this lack of exposure has rendered his mind and consciousness as his own, despite the fact that he still acts loyal to their cause to collect any meat necessary to feed his queen and her brood.

He was never to question the nature or validity of this unending task, not until the vasprig unwittingly snared the gaze of a fickle and spiteful pale being, in a vastly misplaced but intriguing act of mercy.

Infatuated, Synn an unrisen being request he take the parasite into his shell, upon blatant rejection Synn takes pity on the misguided fool and implores him to breach his hive and demand audience with his queen, gaze upon her and bring her it's flesh and ensure the colony's survival.

Weary of the eldritch creature gane, but equally intrigued Esindhale agrees with full intent to act on his own assessment unbeknownst to him that was exactly what the pale parasite wanted.

This story ends in tragedy.

Turns out the nefarious pheromones driving his kin mad with blood thirst were not of their queen or species at all!

The colony had long perished, consumed by parasites from within their own walls, doom and unable to escape the imposters that fed on their broods and eventually consumed the queen and subjects herself..how long had they been mimicking a distorted parody of her pheromones… maybe years ago, perhaps before even Esindhale himself was born.

Those of his own kin he watched wither and fade over time for a mimicking brood inhabiting the tomb of the root colony.

The flesh Synn bestowed him, it was a dagger, one that easily split and rotting the flesh of the massive grabs as he cleansed their likes.

He does not return to the colony again.

At some point after he does indeed accept the pale parasite's pact and now lives the life of a reclusive loner in the ruins of a old dead forest.

Unfortunately while living a rather peaceful lonely life, his species and prior reputation had landed multiple bounties on his head, as a final attempt to cull the problematic species into extinction..

And he is the last.

Temperament:

Esindhale is big, and strong, it is not wise to attempt to fight them close quarters as they easily be downed bare handed, but their hefty blade only solidifies that fighting them fairly will only get one killed.

But despite his aggressive disposition, he is actually quite calm, quiet and inquisitive, still stand offish but chill as a social creature deprived of community he will easily fall prey to social impulses. Still they are always prefering to ward those off before finally ending them if they insist on pursuing the hefty bounty his life.

Very protective, will provide compulsively, not fit for leadership roles as they are primed to work alone or under a matriarch, one would have to earn their trust and respect for them to actually give them the time of day.

Their parasite, it constantly attempts to infect weaker life forms Esindhale is both its host and warden the terms of this arrangements and its benefits are muddled and confusing but seems to benefit them both in some way????

Personality: Quiet, melancholy, impulsive, calculating, cunning, despondent, emotionally detached, distrustful, fretful, blunt, selfless, socially awkward, cynical, brooding.

Trivia:

This universe takes place on a alien planet, sort of solar medieval alien planet there is technology but closure to alchemy, tribes lore kingdoms and ect. Mostly populated with bug folks, plant folk and other dubious creatures exist, like fabled beings, pale gods ect kind of hollow knight setting!

The parasites infesting their colony was inspired by the large blue butterfly species that hijack ant colonies.

Syn is a pale being that kind of looks like a lamprey, it is in a dormant state and the weapon and decay and rot empower it, it will ascend.

When one thinks of the others of his species they are closer to blood drunk hunters, brutal ruthless and drunk!

Esindhale hates the cold and will go out of his way to avoid snow or stepping on ice.
