Description

In the typical human disguise he uses, Lloyd can only be described as a huge hulking man, standing at a massive 6'8", 370 lbs. He is quite muscular, covered in many nicks and scars across his body. One on particular slicing into his upper lip which, when he opens his mouth, lines up with four shiny golden canines, on the top and bottom of the right side of his mouth. His eyes are a unique golden yellow shade that nearly matches those distinct golden teeth in his maw.

His hair is cut short, a close, but not clean shave on the sides leading to mohawk that travels all the way down the center of his head. It is a distinct, yet natural silver color that doesn't appear to be dyed. The shaved portion of the haircut can inadvertently shows off the tattoos across his face and head, as well as the scars that attempt to ruin said tattoos.

He has tattoos sprawling up his right arm from hand to face, though none of them have any particular meaning. Instead they seem to be sort of victory tokens or party tattoos, ranging from various tribal designs to random violent imagery, including a massive skull that covers his shoulder like a pauldron. The tattoos seem to have happened before a large majority of his scars however, many of said scars tarnishing the flesh the tattoos use as a canvas.

The style of armor he wears fits his profession quite well. It's almost all made of a thick leather, adorned with various shackles, chains, hooks that are attached or sewn into the leather, giving it a look similar to a style of leather chainmail. The colors seem to vary all over the armor, showing that it's a constant work in progress, various shades of browns, all darkening with age, but also pieces of black leather mixed in to it all. The mixing of these leathers and adornments cause it to be much more reinforced than typical plain leather armor.

His weapon of choice is a large steel glaive, a dark black leather wrap surrounds the core of the glaive. The head of this glaive is a gnarled hunk of steel with many sharp points along the multiple curves, used to rip and tear through opponents when slashing them. The counter-weight at the end of the glaive also has a much smaller blade with minimal sharp points, instead it is curved to an eventual point. This end isn't usually used in combat, more typically as a sort of walking stick, or at worse a finishing blow to a grounded opponent.

Lloyd's true form is that of an Oni, an absolutely hulking giant of a creature, standing at 9'5", 712 lbs. His skin a blueberry shade of blue-ish-purple, and many of his scars prove to be real, littering his massive frame, including the unique scar on his lip, and his set of golden teeth. His frame is just as muscular, barring the look of a well-fed 'beer-belly'. Looking into his eyes reminds you of stories parents would tell their children of monsters in the night. They have no Iris, no Pupil, just a pure golden hue throughout the socket with a faint glowing quality to them.

Two large white horns jutt from his forehead about 3 inches with a rather dull point to them, just below his hairline. His hair is somewhat similar to his human disguise, clearly having a sort of mohawk, or attempting to, though his hair is longer in general and much more unkempt than his illusion.

Just like his scars, his tattoos are also real, including the skull 'pauldron' tattoo on his shoulder that is absolutely massive in comparison, and also has a soft, strange white glow to it. Once more his other tattoos aren't particularly important or notable, random tribal designs and patterns across his right arm, upper chest, neck and face.

His glaive does not change much as his illusion fades, instead simply scaling properly up to his true size, which ends up making the glaive even larger than he is. His armor is quite literally remains the same, tightly gripping his muscular frame and protecting him with its sturdy reinforced leather.

Personality

Lloyd is a man oozing confidence and pride, with a hint of arrogance. He has many violent tendencies and zero shame about them, instead embracing his violent ways and encouraging the violence in others. He prefers to settle issues with conflict and those who are strong often earn his respect, before their inevitable death to him. He does not hesitate, his strength lies in his unflinching determination and dedication to his goals.

He is a deceiver, a man of undeniable charm, charisma, and due to his size, intimidation. He acquired the nickname "Goldtongue" through his days due the "silver tongue" he uses to talk or bribe his way out of all of his issues, and his distinct golden toothed smile.

Motives

He is a simple man with a simple mindset, moving forward toward his own goals of survival and comfort. He works as the leader of a group of slavers called "The Band of the Silent". They have gained this name and the reputation that precedes it by kidnapping those they enslave in the dead of night, without anyone ever noticing, in complete silence.

He is a trafficker of slaves, not caring what race, only what the pay is. However it's quite notable that he doesn't sell children. It seems any children they inadvertently capture end up missing. The truth behind this lies in Lloyd's nature as an Oni. He has an insatiable hunger for flesh, and particularly enjoys the flesh of children, one of the few things he keeps secret. Anyone who stumbles into his chambers is killed, no matter their rank or means. Nobody enters his chambers.

Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn’t being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.
If any of this spell’s area overlaps with an area of light created by a spell of 2nd level or lower, the spell that created the light is dispelled.

Silence

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, Up to 10 minutes
For the duration, no sound can be created within or pass through a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range.

The target can pass through small holes, narrow openings, and even mere cracks, though it treats liquids as though they were solid surfaces. The target can’t fall and remains hovering in the air even when stunned or otherwise incapacitated.
While in the form of a misty cloud, the target can’t talk or manipulate objects, and any objects it w as carrying or holding can’t be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with. The target can’t attack or cast spells.

While Frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move.
