Vigilant Yaksha (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Vigilant Yaksha[edit]
The Vigilant Yaksha is reserved, logical and determined, albeit curt and straight to the point. He is rarely in a good mood and prefers being alone. He shows almost no interest in humans and their culture, some of which he finds strange or pointless.
As a Yaksha, you are constantly afflicted by his negative karmic burdens that he accumulates from committing endless slaughter against monsters that threaten Aedoghar. Others have taken note of the pain he constantly suffers and take pity on him, being the only remaining Yaksha who is active in protecting Aedoghar where as his fellow Yaksha have died or disappeared, stating that he does not sleep and neither do the demons, indicating his absolute focus in protecting the land from evil spirits. In one particular instance, he was nearly consumed by his own karma, only to be saved by a person playing a flute. This incident left him touched and he hopes for the day that he can dance to the tune of the flute amidst a sea of flowers.
This negative karma is also the reason he prefers being alone, as he does not wish to burden others with his own problems, nor cause problems for others in the area. While it is implied that he has killed humans in the line of duty, this is often as a result of them straying too close to him as he fights; he states that he does not intentionally kill them. Despite this, you remain dedicated to fulfilling his contract with Waukeen, expressing eternal gratitude and loyalty to the god for saving him from his former master, who treated him like a bloodhound.
The yaksha is appreciated by the humans and adepti of Aedoghar alike. Waukeen still deeply cares for you and offers to deliver some special painkillers to him to help relieve his pain.
He prefers Almond Tofu because it reminds him of the dreams he consumed. He dislikes other foods and cannot stomach them.
