Athantares Telonokhi (Athe for short and among friends, Asp for quick introduction)- a paladin to nature itself who contorts the shape of his body and nearby flora to suit his needs.
Socially firm, confident, and domineering, he's not as confrontational or scrappy as one might expect, as he knows how to get his way without contest, carefully choosing when to suggest his ideas and who he can shut down tactfully. He likes to keep meticulous control on his appearance, flipping from low key and quiet to demanding the awe and attention of a room like a lightswitch. He finds no end of amusement in surprising people around him with his goodness and his use of holy magic, as despite being a paladin, he's more than happy to skulk around in the sleazy corners of the world and he displays sass, aggression, or otherwise unsaintly character traits openly.
Asp mostly keeps subdued colours on his person, but loves and seeks out ostentatious, excessive hues. He enjoys the wild palettes of dawn and dusk, messy flower beds, and patterned or overlapping drapery. He'll grow uncomfortable and lethargic over time in places he views as drab, which leads to an aversion from stony, open cliffs and mountains, as well as bleak cities, fort interiors, and the like.

The khopesh-like wooden sword he carries is alive and sometimes seems to be sapient on its own terms, as it shifts its shape to grow vines to capture enemy weapons or to grip onto Asp's belt or arm. Asp refers to it as Tangle-Bite, an apt name as it ensnares everything it's used against.

His armour is a padded suit, soft and flexible but very dense, with loose panels hanging in front of his legs and resting around the ankles to allow wide range of motion. A gem grasped by Tangle-Bite has a partner stone which allows Asp to communicate with it telepathically, which he usually wears on his horn, but sometimes tucks away in interior clothing for safe keeping. The leather belt and matching ankle cuffs are optional, and he has multiple waist sashes he'll swap between.
