Otto

"Stoic glare"

Otto appears in The Firebrand series as well as the The Viridian Gate Archives.

Background
Otto is an NPC, a Native to the world of Viridian Gate Online. When he was very young his mother married a Wode and fled Glome Corrie. She was murdered by Imperials and that motivated Otto, his stepfather, and his half-sister to join the rebellion. Otto is very well connected in the rebel flanks. He was excommunicated after a horrible incident that left his half-sister and stepfather dead and never forgave himself. His stepfather had a sister who lived in a little fishing and farming village 20-30 miles north of Harrowick called Havasil. He would spend weeks up there helping them out.

Personality
With others he is stoic, decisive, thoughtful, and sometimes cold.

When he meets Abby, he’s compelled to join her because she embodies the passion for “doing what’s right” that he’s forgotten, allowing himself to think that helping his community by patching roofs and fixing wheelbarrows was enough. He knows in his heart its not enough because of who he is and what he’s done, so he goes with her to reclaim that part of himself. He learns to become more open and honest, even going so far as to be vulnerable, makes jokes, and tell her when he’s feeling disrespected or ignored.

Appearance
Otto is a tall and broad Risi with forest green skin and lower teeth protrude somewhat like tusks.
