Thistle

Thistle is a bronze Draconblood Pugilist, belonging to the Dog & Hound fight club. His familiar is Rockabelly, a draconic hound most notable for her ability to be reborn after death much like a phoenix.

As a newcomer to the Guild and to adventuring as a whole, Thistle is not very clever and tends to solve his problems by punching them until they "stop being a problem". This, combined with his desire for admiration from the masses and thirst for glory no matter who is sacrificed in the process, often results in Thistle and his fellow party members in many a needless fight.

Past
Born to Bronze Dragonborn parents and a large family in the heart of Lung Ho's capitol, Thistle and his siblings grew up in poverty, leading to Thistle taking up pit fighting in underground fight clubs to earn a living to support them. Every winning match was another night his family could eat, and losing wasn't an option. It was his time spent within such clubs that allowed for him to hone his boxing techniques to the vicious extents that he eventually became known for, notorious in fighting circles miles around for showing no mercy and often killing his opponents in a blind fury by the end of a match.

Over time, he grew to crave the roars and depraved adoration of a crowd more than anything, and his search for ever increasing fame and glory has lead him to seek the greatest opponent of all, one that only joining the Anderkint Guild Initiative can lead him to: the Vergessence.

His Companion, Rockabelly
A strange draconic hound originating from the snow-covered depths of Lung Ho, Rockabelly often appears to be little more than a large mop of shaggy fur measuring in at roughly 3ft (91cm) that follows Thistle around like a shadow. However, her ability to revive upon death has made her a key member of the team, testing deadly traps when the magical illusions or projections of other members fall short. Her strength in battle, especially when tag-teamed with Thistle, has gotten the two out of many tricky situations.

Thistle never had a friend he could rely on that walked on two legs-- luckily, he found the best four-legged friend a Dragonborn could ask for. Pugilists in the Dog & Hound fight club are as faithful to their canine companions as their canine companions are to them, and Thistle & Rockabelly are no exception. When the day Thistle falls in battle inevitably comes to pass, Rockabelly will spend the rest of her life guarding his final resting place.
