History
Dezanoth 'Devin' Ror'alath was born in a small, poor village in the underground structure of Al Ruwa called 'The Bottomless Pits of Adar', where shadows danced with malice and ambition thrived like hungry weeds. As a half demon of no importance—though strikingly charismatic in nature—he quickly learned that survival depended on cunning behavior and charm. Armed with an insatiable curiosity above the surface, Devin often slipped away from the orphanage he grew up in with his twin sister, Alora, to explore the thriving city above. His enchanting smile could turn enemies into allies—as long as they didn’t realize he had plans of his own brewing beneath of mischievousness and trickery. Amidst swirling whispers of conflict of keeping the orphanage alive, it wasn’t long before he sought escape from the so called home he grew up in and turned to find a place with more purpose.While traversing the streets, Devin discovered an unexpected gift: shapeshifting. With the flicker of desire mingling with mischief in his heart, he found solace transforming into a sleek black Al Ruwan cat—a creature thought to bring both favorable luck and mystery wherever it roamed. This metamorphosis allowed him to thrive by foraging food from stalls even amidst ignorant shopkeepers. Though more often than not, it still left him and his sister in a bit of a pinch. Even so, nothing compared to the escapades filled with adventure from one tent to another. The multiple collected tales told underneath starry skies from wandering thieves that seemed to spark his inner flame of curiosity.
Could he settle for less than what lay out in the vast unknown? He found himself asking one day after being chased down after stealing a measly piece of bread. Yet deep down, the shapeshifter was indeed relentless: seeking belonging in worlds where acceptance felt eternally out of reach. Or even finding a purpose amongst the barren sands. None of which untainted him with doubt. At times, Devin began immensely calling for a connection just as frail souls often do after spending many years without companionship. He vows to find his missing twin sister who vanished one cold morning in late Fortuna. Simply disappearing in thin air!—but until then Dezanoth takes the promise of the one year service of Nadir to serve as a Pale Wolf in hopes of finding a search party capable of finding his vanished lost sibling.

Personality
Positive: Quick Witted | Adaptable | Versatile
Neutral: Social | Entertaining | Flirtatious
Negative: Impatient | Insensitive | Restlessness
Living on the streets and camping in tents through the years, Devin's quite adapatable in most dire situations. His feline form helps him to score live fish and other morsels without getting caught. He's able to speak his way through difficult situations. Often times putting on a 'mask' to get what he wants. Which can often lead to betraying the trust of others. His nights are filled with nightmares from the day his twin sister vanished. Being without a stable income and home, he's often feeling restless in his attempts to find stability in relationships with others...as well as coming to terms with the uncertainty of his future.

In which case for Devin, is a black Al Ruwan cat.He's so out of touch with the world that it's difficult for him to fit in.

Going up against the Ifrit the demonic shapeshifter thought he could win food over them despite the drastic size difference of the two.Devin's arcane is based on the reversed Magician tarot card in which he has not yet manifested his true potential as an arcane chosen.

Feats
Adrenaline Shot (Level 1): "You know exactly how to get yourself back in the action: adrenaline, injected directly into your heart. Free Action. Multiple can be used at once. Recovers 15 HP. (2 uses per day.) At Level 3, this increases to 3 uses per day. At Level 5, this increases to 4 uses per day."
Lucky- Level 2 - Self | Permanent : "Three times per day, you can reroll any d20 you roll. This Feat can be used after you see the result of the die, but must be used before you learn the outcome of the roll. Rerolls are regained at dawn.
** At Level 3, you can make this reroll with Advantage.
** At Level 5, if you begin a combat encounter with zero rerolls left, you gain one reroll.
** This cannot be taken alongside ""God's Favorite Princess.""" )))
Level 1: Soft Paws, Ticklish Whiskers : Devin has learned to translate the natural stealth of his cat form to his humanoid form in the following ways:
**While barefoot, Devin has Advantage on SKL Rolls made to hide (aka stealth checks). This does not affect his AC or Movement Speed, but if he's on dangerous terrain while barefoot, this has the potential to incur damage!
**Devin has 5 feet of Blindsight, as the highly sensitive hairs on his head pick up on air currents around him. This allows him to see objects and creatures in his immediate vicinity even in magical darkness or while suffering the Blinded condition.
At Level 3, creatures attempting to track Devin by nonmagical means must do so with Disadvantage, due to his highly careful catwalk.
