== Characteristics ==
==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
Gracias is a male Gnome with a thin figure and brown hair. He wears blue shorts with suspenders over black pants and a white shirt. Gracias wears knee-length, blue armored boots that have golden accents, black gloves, and a pair of blue tinted goggles over his eyes with a blue strap and golden buckle. Like other members of Yumi's Thieves, Gracias wears a crimson poncho with a gold broach. Gracias also carries around a large brown pack for his various treasures he collects, notably his Blunderbuss and Dragonskin Bow.
 
===Personality===
Gracias tries his best to protect his friends and allies, and is quickly angered when [[Yumi]] tries to desert them in battle, going so far as to attempt to trap them in the battle with his Rolling Fog spell. Gracias was tasked with watching over [[Bumbley|Dwarf Number Three]] during the Band of Thieves mission, a role he passed along to Philhipé. He also grew closely attached to Philhipé during their mission, using his final words before passing out to try to save him.
 
Gracias utilized his [[Sorcerer]] abilities, [{{SERVER}}/cards/cards.html#blink Blink] and [{{SERVER}}/cards/cards.html#rollingfog Rolling Fog], for more stealthy or diplomatic purposes. Often concealing the thieves' location or using his teleportation to create a diplomatic solution. The most notable diplomatic solution he created was by appealing to the Kobold named [[Philhipé|Pete]] with a hug, causing him to become an ally.
 
Philhipé became good friends with Gracias, causing him to look to Gracias for guidance instead of [[Yumi]], causing a strong sense of loyalty between the two.
 
In his later appearance in [[Den of Devils]], his manner appears to be somewhat more sinister, being more openly manipulative and aggressive. While he's still very fond of making friends and protecting those he considers his friends, he's begun using to use his "friendships" as a means of self-preservation instead of any genuine connection. Gracias also shows a bossier and pushier side of his personality: becoming very upset when those he's attached himself to fail to protect him. In such circumstances, the gnome is prone to break ties with the offending person and moving on to the next friend, being very petty and childish to the former friend. He isn't above using his magic to force people into befriending him, or making them vow to protect him.
 
===Notable Attributes===
Gracias is a kind hearted sorcerer, preferring not to fight if he can. However when the situation arises he can handle is own in battle, opting for a tactical advantage whenever possible. In addition, he is not against using his friendly charm to take advantage of people close to him to get what he wants.
 
==Relationships==
===[[Yumi]]===
Yumi was Gracias's leader in the Band of Thieves, and led them in their job to collect a Sun Key from [[Gwyneth Sunsword]]. Gracias has a good working relationship, as Yumi is well aware of his charming abilities and will often use his fog castings to her benefit.
===[[Squinks]]===
Gracias overall respected Squinks as he was second-in-command, and Gracias followed what he was told. Squinks however did not feel the same way about Gracias, and did not save him when betraying the group.
===[[Bumbley]]===
Gracias had a good relationship with the team's new hired muscle, [[Bumbley]], but was still his superior and would berate him if he did something that displeased Yumi and Squinks.
===[[Philhipé]]===
Gracias also had a charmed relationship with a Kobold named [[Philhipé]], who was a hostile force against the thieves early on in their mission, however Gracias converted him to their cause. Philhipé put great trust in Gracias, and followed instructions from Gracias rather than from their leader Yumi.
===[[Lunk]]===
Gracias attempts to charm Lunk towards the beginning of their trek into the Welpling Den of Zelfatar, however it fails and Gracias moves on to manipulate another member of the party. Lunk unfortunately ends Gracias's life, by accidentally stepping on him, crushing him completely.

== Notable Traits and Abilities ==
Gracias decides to speak to [[Lunk]] first, and he uses Soothe Spirits when Lunk is resistant to being hugged, telling him to "Die on my behalf" because that's what friends do. After the two share their motivation for entering the lair, with Gracias saying he wants to befriend the dragon, the group starts forward.
As a [[Sorcerer]], Gracias could use [[Sorcerer#Blink|Blink]] as well as [[Sorcerer#Rolling Fog|Rolling Fog]]. Gracias mainly used Rolling Fog for both it's destructive and cloaking purposes, while Blink was rarely used, and saved for life-threatening situations.


Gracias also utilized a two distinct ranged weapons. Including a rather powerful Dragonskin bow and a Blunderbuss.
During the first encounter, Gracias attempts to hug the Whelpling, but it merely causes him to be flung to one of the rocks on the nearby lava lake. He deals a decent amount of damage during the battle and eventually jumps back to finish off the Whelpling, though [[Duke Daring]] nearly gets Gracias killed in attempt to steal the finishing blow.


However, Gracias preferred the stealthy or diplomatic routes. Opting to hug Philhipé rather than fighting him, which converted him into one of the most useful allies in the game.
After the fight ends, Gracias confronts Lunk about his lack of assistance, to which Lunk replies that Gracias didn't do anything when Denzik was mind controlled. Lunk leaves him shortly afterwards, and Gracias decides to search for a new best friend.


'''Gnome Physiology''':
During the battle on the lava lake, Gracias attempts to hug the giant [[Spooky|Flame Spooky]], but ends up setting himself on fire and coming dangerously close to falling in the lava. He spends the rest of the encounter using his gun instead.
*'''Longevity''': Gnomes naturally live longer than a human do, living several centuries longer.
*'''Subterranean Adaptation''': Gnomes commonly live underground, allowing them to survive underground as easily as dwarves do.
*'''Technology Affinity''': Most, if not all, Gnomes have a fondness for technology and inventing.
*'''Enhanced Inventing''': The Okagnoma Gnome subspecies has an affinity for “''Tinkering''” with the various treasures they obtain. Whether the end result is beneficial to them is often up to debate.  


'''Magical Abilities''': Sorcerers have access to a few magical abilities due their training.
After the group succeeds once again, Gracias approaches Duke Daring and uses Soothe Spirits to befriend and hug him, hoping for additional protection in the next encounter. Duke Daring promises he'll get Gracias out of the lair alive.
*'''Fog Generation''': Known as the spell “''Rolling Fog'',” Sorcerers can generate a thick, expanding fog at a location of his choosing. This fog will continue to expand and hinder others to be unable to effectively see or move through the fog. The fog will naturally attempt to protect the caster. It should be noted that the fog is flammable.
**'''Enhanced Vision''': The user has the ability to be the only one to see through his fog as easily as he could see prior.
*'''Basic Level Teleportation''': Known as the spell “''Blink'',” Sorcerers can teleport short distances. As it is a basic level spell, the user is not well adjustment to the sudden movement of molecules, cause slight dizziness upon the use of the spell.


== Personal Items ==
In the final battle, as the group is trying to escape, Gracias combines his Rolling Fog with [[Michael Langstrom]]'s slime wall to keep one of the Whelplings from reaching Nisovin. He then sneaks around and attempts to hug the whelpling's tail from behind, but it turns out to be a fatal mistake as it results in him getting thrown in front of a dangerous breath attack.
Gracias' treasure included:
* [[N|2 Blunderbusses]]
* [[Dragonskin Bow]]
* [[Spellwall Armor]]


==Fate==
===Fate===
Gracias is presumed to have escaped the party's encounter with [[Gwyneth Sunsword]] by falling down a well. The action he took to do so knocked him unconscious, and a subsequent explosion collapsed the well, so his fate is potentially uncertain, but [[Rob]] said he escaped alive when wrapping up the campaign.
Gracias, mind controlled by a Dragon Whelpling and unable to get out of the way of its Creation Breath, was almost killed from it. [[Usu]] stole Gracias's Blunderbuss and threw him against a wall, believing Gracias was Dead. As Gracias bled to death, [[Lunk]] accidentally stepped on his body, crushing it immediately.
