Melech Winter

General Characteristics

• Player Name: Ovid

Story

Winter was a curious Tiefling child. The prejudice of other races bothered him and he looked down on them, as well as on lower-born Tieflings. Instead, he buried himself in his books and arcane studies. He actively sought a patron to give him magic arts. During the search he met a Tiefling girl who completely captivated him. He fell in love, hard, and pledged himself to her. At that moment the girl revealed herself to be no Tiefling at all, but instead an Archfey, Morgana de Winter, the Lady of Midnight Frost. But much to Morgana's consternation, Melech took the trick in good humour. In fact, he fell even more in love with his Fey patron. Morgana was flattered and granted Melech his wish of sorcerous power. Of course, Melech could never go back to his noble family. They would be disgusted at his pledging his love and obedience to a fey. He took his love's name and now travels the world doing her bidding and seeking to earn her love, or at least appreciation. She, in turn, watches with amusement and fondness, and grants him favours when the mood strikes.

Most recently, Morgana granted him the ability to summon a familiar. He did so, desiring only that it take the form of the love of his life. The resultant imp familiar is an almost exact miniature replica of himself. Melech is fairly sure his patroness is teasing him. Their personalities couldn't be more different, though: where the Tiefling Melech is a free-spirited romantic through-and-through, the imp Moloch is an uptight, judgmental scold. The two are constantly bickering.

The familiar can be temporarily dismissed and caused to reappear w/i 30' as an Action. It can deliver a touch-ranged spell as a reaction when Melech casts it, so long as he is w/i 100'.

Shapechanger: The imp can use its action to polymorph into the beast form of a rat, a raven, or a spider, or into its devil form. Its statistics are the same in each form, although its attack is different in some of them. Any equipment it carries is not transformed. If slain, the imp reverts to its devil form.

Devil's Sight: Magical darkness doesn't impede the imp's darkvision.

Magic Resistance: The imp has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Invisibility:' The imp turns invisible until it attacks or until its concentration ends. Anything the invisible imp is carrying or wearing is invisible so long as it remains in contact with the imp.
