Panhorn

Description
Panhorn is a Hobgoblin Female, with red skin. She wears often casual and civilian style clothing for the most part, and is 5'0. Panhorn is frail looking, and has very small muscles and a thin structure. This is due to a medical condition Cachexia, which has caused her Muscle Loss. She is so skinny her bones are visible

She is not very smart, but she is Hardy and that's reflected best in her work. Although her Monstrous Features are present, her features are dulled with her relaxed and friendly nature. After visiting Mithemia and being treated. While Panhorn still has issues with muscle mass, she does feel much better. Her hair has started growing back and doesn't have chest pains nearly as often.

Combat Style
Panhorn fights in a style invented to both circumvent her physical frailty while also focusing on her hand eye coordination. While the Rapier fit the Style of her Hobgoblin Father Raphael, she elected to take up ranged weaponry such as the crossbow. While pulling the string was difficult, she eventually discovered through observation of Rhodey's Wrist Launchers, and by overanalyzing Grumels Blueprints that she can mechanize the design of the crossbow to make it more efficient and taking away the physical demands of the weapon.

Her infused weapon, Grognak 2.0 named after her adopted father is a hand crossbow with a single action lever design that with the simple pull of her thumb locks the firing mechanism and loads a crossbow bolt in which is summoned from the Crossbow DimensionTM. This not only takes away the need for ammo, but also makes the loading of the weapon much easier allowing for rapid fire when needed. She has also adopted to using different types of crossbow ammo, such as healing bolts which require close range shots to work, and recently she's designed force bolts that not only can cause weapons to miss her, but can also negate the effects of the Magic Missile spell by homing in on their magical energies. Panhorn has also employed Amber, a Buckler that she uses to help defend herself when an enemy inevitibly gets too close. She currently uses Studded Leather Armor, named Vistra after her Step Mother and Grognak's Wife.

Panhorn has also recently employed the Homuculus Servant Amber which can redirect crossbow bolts fired by Panhorn to direct their magical energies into allies. She also has 3 designs of Cannons, the Force Ballista Scorpio formed after a Scorpion, Franklyn the Turtle Protector that can give temporary vitality based armor (temp hp) and Basan, a Firebreathing Chicken Cannon, all made of wood and designed to act as turrets on the battlefield.

She also however has not abandoned her Father, or the Hobgoblin Traditions that came before her, and perhaps some day she may acquire the spirit of the Samurai

Panhorn has recently adopted a new fighting style, allowing her to fight with ranged weapons in closer quarters just as effectively from a distance. She has also acquired a Musket which she seeks to use to great effect.

Background
Panhorn never knew her father, as she was merely an infant when the Hobgoblins fought a massive battle that resulted in their defeat. The Legion broken scattered, and Panhorns Mother, Persephone brought her to a nearby dwarf guild in hopes they would assist.

The Dwarves hated Goblinkind, but Grognak couldn't bring himself to turn them away. Instead he and his Guild Smith and Weston chose to take them in as workers. Panhorns mother was skilled at making weapons and managed to make ends meet at the hold. When Panhorn grew older, she too was taught such skills, including Masonry and Carpentry. Grognak even grew fond of Panhorn and her mother especially, and over time the Dwarfs though still suspicious, opened up to Panhorn and accepted her as their own.

Panhorn was always a frail. It was found that even when eaten high protein meals, she didn't seem to grow, and even at 21 years of age she's at a small 5'0. Panhorn has a complex syndrome with underlining medical conditions which caused her muscle and fat tissue to waste away, as her body wastes the protein and nutrients needed to grow.

Panhorn didn't have many friends, but she was raised well by Grognak and she eyed Grognak as a Father figure, and when she was old enough she took up a profession as a Guild Artisan. She found some success, but felt stifled as the Dwarves natural abilities far outshined her own. Panhorn having grown old enough to travel, big farewell and went off to find new opportunities, and what better than a New World, where she can aid in the construction of new buildings and to help the Guild of Guildtown. Panhorn also felt a strong sense of Wanderlust, and needed to leave to experience the world outside of a Dwarf Guild.

Panhorn works to create, as any creation is worth pursuing if it's for the good of others. She still needs pay and the like, but when she gets to work creating something she feels truly alive. If she can also find someway to solve her medical condition, that would be good too. Though she is prideful, and won't talk about it to many people. Panhorn also seeks to learn a new art to improve her survival, the art of Steel and Gunpowder is necessary. As naturally, she will need to make up for her poor strength by harnessing the mighty Powder.

Time With The Guild
Panhorn arrived on the Airships along with a majority of people from the old world of Guildera looking to make a name for herself. Her first Mission with fellow comrads Allum and Caelif, saw them settling a land dispute between brothers which went successfully, with Panhorn's insistence on attempting to capture and not kill some Goblins which attempted to attack them (and that Panhorn failed to intimidate spectacularly).

Panhorns Second Mission saw her and a group of adventures such as Arabella and Arytom travel to Rozzia which was assaulted by some Nightmarish Creatures and Ghouls. While able to save some of the refugees, the party came close to anhiliation as the Nightmare known as the Sandman could have easily sent them all to the Shadow Realm.

Panhorns Third Mission saw Panhorn and Company like Arabella and Sapphire head to Grumel's Goods and Gadgets, where against all of Panhorns hopes, they were betrayed and trapped by the Goblin. Braving his shop, solving some puzzles and defeating some impressive albeit ineffective Rogobo's, Panhorn acquired Blueprints which inspired her. They also managed to defeat Grumel in his Mech Suit, but not before Grumel set his shop to self destruct, causing them to flee. They were able to just get away, with Panhorn picking up an Amber Gemstone, a surprise tool which would help her later.

Panhorn's Fourth Mission saw Panhorn and company like Allum and Caelif take on a Gauntlet of Modrons, Mechanical Machines made to test combat abilities. The party managed to come out victorious with a sizable reward for doing so, with Panhorn acquiring even more insight into the Machinations of Mechanical beings.

Panhorn's Fifth Mission saw her tag along with members like Kai and Bonnie in order to capture Nine-Finger Johnny who was believed to have escaped prison. They learned however that a Vampirid Mind Flayer had amassed a cult of the Crawling Eye. The party managed to free Johnny and some other Prisoners, while killing the Vampirid Mindflayer in big help of Chadler Radler who threw it off a big drop into lava.

Panhorn participated in the Carnival, but did not undergo the main event. She attempted trivia where she did fine, an arm wrestling contest where she lost the moment her foe started trying, and a Pie Eating Contest she tied first with.

Panhorns Sixth Mission saw Panhorn, Arabella, Allum, Teddie, Arytom and Sapphire go on a mission for the Mad Magus, in order to make a mess for his rivals to entice them to use his cleaning services. Panhorn's contribution was destroying the gate on the Puggons who were being used for combat sport, but they chose not to leave as a Dinosaur, Giant Crab and angry man with a Whip (as well as numerous guards weith varying degrees of survival instincts) started a big fight. Panhorn happened to miss several important moments. it turned into a Bloodbath but was ultimately a success.

Panhorns Seventh Mission saw her and a party of Kai, Sapphire, Rhodey, Arabella and Marshall working together to find a Crown that apparently belonged to the Rozzian Emperor. Panhorn and her party negotiated with Goblins and found that a Goblin named Icky had taken the crown after a purchase. After a close encounter with a near fight, the Goblin gave up the crown willingly. The Crown is cursed or evil in some way, and shadow creatures were after the crown, after Sapphire nearly succumbed to the crowns influence, Panhorn wrapped up the crown and has it in a box in her backpack. Panhorn wishes to take the crown to Guildmaster Mithemia, a task which she succeeded in doing

After the Pit, Panhorn's Eighth mission brough her into conflict with Grumel again. Her and Sapphire, Ken, Rhodey and Delta defeated Grumel at Mechdonalds, bringing back to town alive. Though feeling sorrt for his disfigurement, she built him prosthetic arms, of which Grumel used to escape again.

Panhorn's Ninth mission brought her, and Arabella, Marshall, Allum, Ken, Caelif and Arty to Arabella's home town, to find and defeat Henry Cain the man who murdered Arabella, and to help recover her memories. After a difficult battle, Cain was defeated by their combined efforts and sent to hell, with Arabella returning to life as she still has more she needs to hunt down and defeat. This is also where Panhorn found Cain's Murder Weapon, a Musket and brought it back with her. Panhorn also feels very awkward after a bittersweet goodbye that was immediately nullified.

Panhorn's Tenth Mission brought her, Arabella, Marshall, Teddie and Leonel to Daram Keep where they aided in fending off a two pronged assault by Undead and a Draconic Force. Encountering what most likely were servants of Xenophasm (whoever that is) they defeated the Undead, with only a Weeping Willow making it over the walls, where it was swiftly defeated. However the other wall was breached by the Draconic Forces, with the Dwarvish Captain of the Keep being killed, and Truthseeker Verum being badly injured. Despite this the team was able to defeat the largest threats, and overtime the draconic forces were eliminated. They also discovered a Star Map in a hidden vault in the Keep, one that points to a spot between Austermark and Himmelfal, and others that point to Corwick and other Major Cities. The team survived, with Panhorn getting a dumb pair of glasses that will help her see gooder when she's 1 ft away from her object.

Grognak. Grognak being her Master raised her as an Artisan, and though he was firm in his teachings he was the best that Panhorn had in terms of a confidant, and when he smiled Panhorn couldn't help but smiling too. a Dwarf Man well into middle age, he was a stern man who helped raise Panhorn into the find young lass she is today

Persephone. Persephone is Panhorn's Mother, and the one who brought her to the Dwarves when their Legion fell. Persephone raised Panhorn the best she could, and their relationship is very healthy. Persephone was as loving as she could be to young Panhorn, and Panhorn herself wishes to dedicate a masterpiece of her design to her mother through name.

Amber. Amber was the closest to a Childhood friend that Panhorn had. Amber was a typical Dwarf Girl and grew up to become a Dignitary for the Church of Moradin.

Vistra. Vistra is the Wife of Grognak who was more than happy to take Panhorn in, primarily because she and Grognak lost their own child named Thorgrim.

Raphael was her Hobgoblin Dad and a Captain of the Legion. A Gifted Swordsmen and Samurai of the Hobgoblin Legion of whose name has been lost to the sands of time, Raphael was one of the best. Panhorn inherited his spirit in part to what Hobgoblin Martial Discipline meant to such a Legion, and though the Legion itself has fallen, the flame still burns strong.

Desna was the Mother of Persephone who herself fell when the Legion did. Panhorn heard of Desna through her Mother Persephone, and believes that a part of Desna lives in her invention of the Homunculus Servant, the Amber Butterfly Desna.
