Pomba Bright-Eyed is an Associate of the Round Table, and the eldest of the Bright-Eyed Quintuplets. He may appear simple, but that is because he is. He arrived in Onadbyr in search of scattered Grippli, though he himself got lost along the way. Pomba was turned into a vampire in Winter 224, at the hands of Dr. Acula.

Skills

Pomba is skilled in the art of unarmed combat, using all of his unique biology and strength to his advantage to force his enemies to submit or perish. He has begun to incorporate more tactics in his combat as he becomes more experienced. He is also a skilled field medic, even being able to care for the undead.

Pomba's sheer power is unparalleled. His experience fighting in spectator combat has uncovered his talent for the grippli sport of Thlipit, making use of his exceptional tongue to ensnare foes before unleashing devastating barrages of attacks. Taking in the aspects of the associates he's fought alongside, Pomba has learned to be both an unyielding wall and a destructive force.

Personality

In spite of his name, Pomba is not the brightest of the Bright-Eyed clan. He often takes turns of phrase very literally, and is as straightforward as his martial arts. He may tease his brothers, to the point some might even consider it bullying, but Pomba loves his brothers more than anything, and truly arrived to Onadbyr to look after them and keep them safe, and still holds a great concern for the missing Breeki. Pomba is a naturalist, opting to live in the outskirts to avoid city living, but he has not forsaken civilization entirely, still venturing into town for supplies. Pomba is also nocturnal, and while this is convenient for his newfound condition, it has made dealing with daytime expeditions even harder, resulting in a grumpy frog in the mornings, if not entirely lethargic by midday. He helps his brothers with chores at night. After his experience in the Star Pit, Pomba has found a calling for spectacle combat. He also alternates between referring to himself in the 3rd person and in the 1st person, for some reason. Pomba learned to read after having all his blood drained.
