Myoga

Lore & Background

His unique physiology allows him to perceive time differently than most beings, granting him the rare ability to travel through time using a magical circle. This skill becomes crucial during moments when the group needs to alter past events or retrieve lost items from different eras. Despite his small stature making him vulnerable to physical threats like jars and nets, Myoga's magical prowess is formidable, capable of creating barriers and manipulating temporal flow with ease.

In Their Own Story

The air in the ancient forest was thick with humidity, a scent that made Myoga's wings buzz with irritation. Perched atop a mossy stone, he adjusted his tiny glasses, watching the half-demon and his friends argue below. 'Patience,' he muttered to himself, his voice high and reedy. With a flick of his finger, a glowing blue circle materialized in the dirt, humming with temporal energy. He knew that if they failed today, the future would crumble, but for now, he simply hoped no one would mistake him for breakfast again.
