Zoox

"Now should I do the crossbow?"

Zoox Anthellae is player character in the Ethersea campaign. He is played by Clint McElroy.

Zoox is a Brinarr, having been formed "not very long" ago. He is described as a mariner and cartographer, with a penchant for exploration. He can communicate through a form of contact telepathy, which he has done with many of the creatures the group has come across, much to Devo's chagrin. His connection with the Infinite Clam sparked a seemingly permanant emotional sensitivity for shellfish. He was able to return color to a bleached coral skull through his telepathy, which was previously thought not possible by any means.

As a young brinarr, he hasn't spent much time with people, and has some trouble with social cues. He is prone to pointing his crossbow at people, especially towards the beginning of the adventure. He is kind but upfront, and doesn't mince words.

Physical Appearance
Zoox is 6'9 tall. He has a bouquet of coral varieties integrated into his body, including a brain coral near the head which looks somewhat face-like. His armor has been noted as being teal in color, a choice which Zoox made at some point prior to his appearance on the show as to better blend in with dark ocean water.

History
Little is known about Zoox's past, as he has no memory of his past lives (which is not common for Brinarr) and doesn't remember anything from more than a few weeks back as a brinarr. Tesselation told him that sometimes in the brinarr creation process, the "birth" will fail and the would-be coral body has to be disposed of, which is what they thought would happen to Zoox. His lack of memories and supposed "emptiness," in the words of the Infinite Clam, have led to him feeling unsettled.

Trivia

 * The name Anthellae most likely comes from Anthelia, a genus of coral.
 * Zoox does not eat in a traditional sense, but does moosh food into the appropriate holes which is very embarrassing for him.
 * Zoox's avatar at the abyssal auction was an aquamarine seahorse.
 * Despite being a cartographer, he apparently doesn't know how a map works
