Kolem

From Cod

Appearance and Behavior

A Koopa whose appearance is somewhat primitive, Kolem's shell is defaced with several scars and bitemarks that predate his entrance into the Cleft. Kolem is rumored to be a tremendous fisher-koopa, and is whispered to catch at least half of what they eat (while gathering most of the rest). They have been spotted in Truce, Crysta, Viorar, Gold City, Todo, Shrike, and holds a dwelling in Mongrelia. They have even veen spotted in remote outposts like Fort Walla Walla--They almost never seem to stay in one place for long, operating on a survivalist style of living.

Known Affiliations

Kolem is not overtly affiliated with any military, political, religious, or monetary organizations. Their history prior to entrance into the Cleft is not generally known, and they have never spoken actively about their past. However, they have been spotted befriending wild animals, and some of the less civilized creatures of the cleft--and, unlike most Summoners, speaking openly and earnestly with the beings they summon.

Personality

Kolem is a remarkably passive creature, far more likely to seek a means of bypassing a creature than attacking it--even going to the lengths of hypnotizing, taming, or downright seducing items that they need away rather than fight over them. They abjectly refuse to assault innocent and intelligent people--shambling creatures, however, and those who see the Koopa as easy prey soon learn the distinction between weakness and restraint. Military organizations, such as the Goa Empire, also appear to make Kolem lose their natural empathy for others and become more aggressive. In the presence of other Koopas, Kolem fades back and calls as little attention to themselves as possible--so much so that a Koopa who presses Kolem for company often finds themselves alone or fled.
