Description
Zander very much looks like a stereotypical “Hot Boi”. While he is a Hexblood, those unfamiliar with that race might instead think him a nymph or dryad. His skin is a soft spring green and his eyes the golden yellow of autumn leaves. His ears are pointed, almost elvish, but are forked at the tips. He’s strong, but not overly muscular - more of a lean “swimmer’s body” kind of deal. His hair is the brown of rich, healthy soil, and a crown of branches grow from his skin (he very deliberately styles his hair to try to cover the fact that this is actually attached to his skin, not just an odd choice of accessory). Otherwise, he has a strong jawline, high cheekbones and a killer smile.
So, yes. Despite his race… “Hot Boi”.

Motivations
- Currently “finding himself” now that his life’s original purpose — protecting his sister — is no longer urgently needed
Backstory
Appeared as a 6-year-old when his parents (minor nobility somewhere else) bartered with a hag for someone to protect their newborn daughter. There was a prophecy connected to the daughter, now known as Lysandra the Lightbringer. Zander spent his whole life dedicated to protecting her while she fulfilled her purpose — the two consider each other siblings, despite the circumstances of his creation. Now that the danger to Lysandra has passed, Zander travels, trying to “find himself.”
Relationships
- Lysandra the Lightbringer — The sister Zander was created to protect; the two regard each other as siblings
- Ambystoma — Fellow party member in the original Flesh to Dust party
- Gwen — Fellow party member
- Thrum Stoneheart — Fellow party member
- Gizzard — Fellow party member
Notes
- Joined the original party (Ambystoma, Gwen, Thrum, Gizzard) for the first session of the Flesh to Dust investigation in Malachite.
- Notably encountered the silver man construct guardian on the Highland plateau during the “Geometry and silver” session — engaged it in a flexing contest (briefly “taken” to the highlands mid-scene) and was cheered on by nearby goliaths, charging the dodecahedron (space) shape during the elemental geometry sequence.
- Investigated the outer storage facility in Chrysalis alongside Gwen, contributing a notable Investigation roll (21) toward uncovering the hidden library and portal room.
