Cuviera Galeocerdo

The Little Sea Dragon
Player (Kfeathers)

Cuviera, one the more experienced and skilled fighters within the Order. Working the front lines for the leader.

The Past

Cuviera was born to a family of crooks and ne'er-do-wells. They robbed ships between the continents of Risla and Divelinson. Her father taught her and her siblings the art of “shadow swimming”, being able to teleport through the shadows to gain the upper hand in fights as well as the upper hand in stealing items. 

She loved the life and loved their ill gotten gains more than anything. Anything that glittered she claimed for her own. She would get into fights with her siblings when it was time to split the loot. She hoarded her treasure and would bite off the fingers of anyone who touched it, earning her name, “The Little Sea Dragon”.

As she got older, she broke off from her family and ventured on land. She also quickly learned peoples’ distaste for people of her ilk. But her drive for the finer things pushed her to get in with the underground. She couldn’t get by on looks, lacking the conventional pretty face, but made up for it in aggression and muscle. This deemed her valuable in the eyes of the mobs and gangs of the area and she found steady work as a mob enforcer, with swaying loyalties. Anyone who paid the highest got her business. 

When she wasn’t working, she was enjoying the finer things, good wine, good food, cute men, and all of the fancy things money could buy her. She moved into a small sunken ship right off of the coast of Risla (mainly to protect herself from enemies) and hoarded her loot there. Her boathouse is protected by her pet tiger shark “Don” and her bull shark “Mugsy”. 

Things did take a turn when she was double crossed by a spiteful rival. She was jailed and for a time, thought she was going to rot there for the rest of her life…. until the order came. They bailed her out and explained they saw her potential in being an asset to the group. Cuviera, being skeptical, didn’t buy it and figured there was a catch, but when offered a healthy sum of cash, she decided to question them later. 

She took the jobs given and got to enjoy the good life once again. Her loyalties to the order are the strongest she’s ever had to an organization, her being grateful for them getting her out. But her greed has always been her greatest vice and some wonder if her loyalty is as strong as she claims, or if she’s just biding her time until someone can offer her a bigger payout. 

The Horrors of the Order

Cuviera was one of the few summoned by Tragedonna and Comedina to undergo a mission for the Order of the Moonlight. The group was sent through a portal into the Badlands. Here is where she and the others went down into a ruined temple that was once treated as a lab. Their job was simple and required them to clear out the space by any means necessary. 

After going through a sandstorm, they reached the entrance of the ruins. Once they started going down below, they were faced to face with a construct. The construct was tripped with a trap and activated, injuring members of the team. Using Mage Hand, Aaravos was able to disarm the trap and other constructs that were down the hall. 

The group continued until they encountered a group of individuals who were hiding. Following the orders they were given, Cuviera was prepared to dispose of the unwanted company. However, after some talking to by Jolly Wagglewood, the individuals agreed to leave the space and no harm was being done. Upon further investigation, they discovered Saiko and guards who were not thrilled about them intruding into their space. A fight ensued between the parties which resulted in the reveal of a betrayal. Jolly struck Senta which caused Aaravos to take him down and focus his attacks on him.

After Saiko was nearing unconsciousness, Hydra appeared to come to his aid. However, the group came through and defeated Saiko while she fled the scene. They watched as Saiko took his last breaths as the transport team they were scheduled to meet arrived. 

Ryver came to the scene with his goods and was ready to set up.

Monk

Way of the Shadow - Subclass

Monks of the Way of Shadow follow a tradition that values stealth and subterfuge. These monks might be called ninjas or shadowdancers, and they serve as spies and assassins. Sometimes the members of a ninja monastery are family members, forming a clan sworn to secrecy about their arts and missions. Other monasteries are more like thieves’ guilds, hiring out their services to nobles, rich merchants, or anyone else who can pay their fees. Regardless of their methods, the heads of these monasteries expect the unquestioning obedience of their students.

Shadow Arts

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you can use your ki to duplicate the effects of certain spells. As an action, you can spend 2 ki points to cast darknessdarkvisionpass without trace, or silence, without providing material components. Additionally, you gain the minor illusion cantrip if you don’t already know it.

Shadow Step

At 6th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You then have advantage on the first melee attack you make before the end of the turn.

Cloak of Shadows

By 11th level, you have learned to become one with the shadows. When you are in an area of dim light or darkness, you can use your action to become invisible. You remain invisible until you make an attack, cast a spell, or are in an area of bright light.

Opportunist

At 17th level, you can exploit a creature’s momentary distraction when it is hit by an attack. Whenever a creature within 5 feet of you is hit by an attack made by a creature other than you, you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against that creature.
