Bromas, better known as No-Eye Bromas is a Okagnoma Paladin played by Coestar for The Zarlin Catacombs campaign. Among the group, he is referred to as Alpha Wolf, it is unknown if this is his official title in the Paladin Order.

Characteristics

Appearance

While as a Gnome, Bromas is an elderly male with a short, white beard, blue eyes and a large scar covering his right eye. He also has notably large cheeks. He wears a blue plate helmet with gold accents, silver plate armor with gold shoulder pads, greaves and lower calf bracings. Under that, Bromas wears a short sleeve, blue shirt, blue pants and black boots. Bromas also has a brown belt that has a sack for his Crystal Catalyst, a clip for his Fist in a Box and holds his Headhunter Axe.

As a Kobold, Bromas has light grey, short rock-like fur, blue eyes and two fangs. He wears a blue eye patch over his scarred right eye, a blue scarf, and a brown belt that holds his Fist in a Box. The only visible armor he wears now is the gold greaves and lower calf bracings.

Personality

Bromas is very much a leader in his Gnome form, since first entering the catacombs he sets up what sites and attractions the tour will consist of and sets down rules of do's and don't's. Very strict about keeping both himself and the group safe, he is one of the first to charge into the initial battle against the Robots of the campaign and does quite well in regards to how he hits, thought not doing much damage. He is also revealed to have a bit of a strategic side on him as is expected of someone that has supposedly seen much battle as he is credited to, and he shows this during his diplomacy with Franky Rosebud despite being nailed with an apple. He is very much an alfa and explains quite a bit to the name that Raynel, his squire, calls him, 'Alpha Wolf'.

Bromas' Kobold form appears a lot more passive, the battle with the 3 big Robots causing his transformation to have somewhat humbled him to be a bit more passive and actually allowing Fantastico Fabioso to slightly take charge after the minor encounter where the cursed Muddy Billhook Bromas found influences him and Fantastico quickly puts down his small army. Bromas does not even argue or fight with Sergio Fabioso when he receives the purification stone that would change his former back when offered and instead stands in silence. Bromas' Kobold form has Bromas very much losing his position as an alpha which is quite ironic seeing as how his Kobold form (similar in appearance to a wolf) makes him even truer to his nickname 'Alpha Wolf'.

Relationships

The story of No-eyes and Reynel is a sad one. In the beginning he is shown to listen to her, gets his nickname from her, and even gets her to safety against the 3 Elemechs (albeit by punching her with a fist in the box), though it was after he was changed into a kobold and she revealed over the radio that she loved him that he truly realized he loved her and was heartbroken when she no longer loved him as a kobold with no nose.

Sergio and No-Eyes didn't really talk though he was very uncomfortable with his and Fantastico's sex-sessions, often advising Morgana to close her eyes. He seemed especially peeved Surgio used the Purification stone on himself solely to get "The Passion" back.

No-Eyes was really the only one who even cared that Morgana died even after he found out she had paid up front.

No-Eyes and Fantastico did not get along, especially after Fantastico took over the role of "Alpha Wolf".

History

Background

Not much is known about Bromas prior to the tour of the Zarlin Catacombs, but it is known that he attended a school for Paladins where he learned a physical form of Lay on Hands. After that, Bromas became a very capable Paladin, gaining the affection and admiration of a young squire and gaining the position of Alpha Wolf. He had also lost his eye at an unknown point in time.

Before the tour, Bromas and his compatriots, Raynel, Sergio Fabioso and Fantastico Fabioso were hired to be the bodyguards and tour guides of the wealthy Morgana Marie as she descends into the Zarlin Catacombs.

The Zarlin Catacombs

Bromas, Raynel, Sergio and Fantastico lead Morgana Marie down beneath the Tower of Ultimate Wizardry to the Zarlin Catacombs, where they traveled through the initial part of the catacombs, avoiding the latent traps laid there by the original inhabitants. There they came across some aggressive Robots, much to the surprise to the Paladin Gnomes, as they attacked the group. During the fight, a large purple-tented Robot used some alteration magic to change a skull that Bromas was holding into a compass. Through a lot of trial and error, the group manages to wear the Robots down enough to cause them burst into a flurry of bolts and oil. After dealing with the hostile Robots, the group searched the area and found a large crack in the room that led to a treasure room. Filling their bags with loot, the group continued onward only for Bromas to be hit in the face with a rotten apple.

At this point in the Catacombs, they met the thrower, a Berserker named Franky Rosebud. After some heated discussion about why Franky threw the rotten apple, originally because Franky thought Bromas was a robot, but this story was changed, the group moved on to trying the apples. After Morgana put a large amount of them into her purse, she preformed a magic trick causing two nearby skeletons come back to life as Soul Puppets, these were the souls of the Bennu. However, these souls having been dead for so long that the Bennu history was mostly unknown to the world, they panicked and caused consfusion to Morgana. This lead to her simply dispelling the skeletons, killing them again. During this time, an Elemech was attacking Franky, which has now captured the group's attention. Sergio then attempted to shoot the Elemech, but fatally missed, killing Franky immediatly.

This lead to a simple conversation with the Elemech, who, unlike the robots they fought before, was sentient and could speak. However the civil conversation lead to a hostile fight as Sergio and Fantastico attempted to have sexual relations with him. The fight was shortlived as the group quickly figured out his tactics, causing him to surrender. The group stopped their attack, but the Elemech took the opportunity to throw a Gemling, distracting them, and run out of the area. Morgana recovered the little Gemling, whom she named Prism, and carried him in her breasts. The group then discussed their next plan of action, however Fantasico decided to attempt to Infatuate the group, but was only successful in temporarily infatuate Raynel and Morgana, but had Bromas under his spell for a long time. The group then went into the next room, which locked behind them, leaving Raynel trapped outside. And then three large Robots awoke and began attacking.

These three large Robots had the ability to alter the abilities, race and gender of their targets, and managed to alter Bromas from a Gnome into a Kobold and changed Bromas' Lay on Hands into Blink before they where destroyed. With most of the group altered and still trapped in the room, they attempted to exit, but where met with an impassable door. Then a large hole in the ceiling opened up and began pouring copious amounts of water along with Gorgons. It was then that a secret curse that was applied to a Muddy Billhook that Bromas held awoke, causing Bromas to believe himself to be the treasure hungry leader of the Gorgons, and breaking his infatuation spell. However. Fantastico made quick work of this development, activating his Hurricane Bracers, killing all of the Gorgons, breaking Bromas of his curse and sealing the water hole, but not before a special Glamour Shark appeared.

This Glamour Shark, known as Glamourous, appeared significantly small and before the changed group. Glamourous went on to talk to the group about killing his companion, but when the conversation was interrupted by Raynel, who communicated with the group through an ancient walkie-talkie device, Glamourous revealed himself to be a divine being and floated to the top of the room and passed through the wall. After sending Raynel back to the surface to find help, the group exited through another door in the room, only to find the a large canyon between them and the opposite side of the catacombs. They noticed Raynel off in the distance, but after an awkward conversation between Fantastico and Raynel trying to hide Bromas' new form, a large Bennu War Machine erupted out of the canyon. The fight began abruptly, however it seemed that the group could not win, that is until Morgana threw her rotten apples at the machine, causing its shield functions to cease. Now with an upperhand, the group destroyed the War Machine and Sergio found a mystical stone that returned himself to normal, leaving Bromas to stay a Kobold. Upset with his new form, Bromas was left worried about his job.

Fate

Once Bromas and the party (excluding the late Morgana Marie) escaped the Catacombs, Bromas was left unloved by Raynel and in a state of worry over his job. Since he was no longer a Gnome and his last customer died, he felt it would be much harder to continue to work in his current state. It is unknown if he took Raynel's advice of seeking magical help from the Tower of Ultimate Wizardry.
