Skree: The Observant Echo (Updated)
{{Darlingverse}}


Before Darling: Skree was a quiet, observant kenku child, perhaps nine or ten years old, who worked as an assistant in a dusty old bookbinder's shop in Waterdeep's Trades Ward. Though naturally shy and prone to keeping to himself, he found immense solace and a peculiar talent in meticulously mimicking the sounds and voices he heard – the creak of old leather, the rustle of pages, the distant clamor of the city, or a customer's specific inflection. He was a keen listener, often overlooked, and his world was one of precise replication.
'''The Cacophonous Voice'''


Captured by Papa: One late afternoon, while carefully shelving newly bound tomes, Skree heard a strange, disembodied whisper, a sound unlike any he had ever mimicked. Before he could fully process it, a sweet, suffocating odor filled his small workspace, and a heavy, dark sack was pulled over his head. He remembered the terrifying sensation of being lifted and carried away, his carefully collected sounds trapped unheard within him.

Papa's Basement and the Void: His next fragmented memory was of chilling dampness and the metallic tang of fear in a stone basement. He saw other children, small and whimpering in rough cages, their terrified eyes reflecting the dim, flickering light. Skree recalled a tall, shadowy figure—Papa—moving with unnatural silence towards a nearby cage. Then, a blinding flash of visceral, silencing horror erupted, and the memory violently tore itself away, leaving a cold, empty void where the unspeakable truth should be. All that remained was a profound sense of loss and a chilling echo.

Life in the Darlingscape: The Collector of Sensations: When Skree awoke within "The Golem's Canvas," his inherent shyness paired with his keen observational skills made him the silent archivist of Darling's subconscious sensory input. He views this strange purgatory as a vast, shifting soundscape and visual tapestry, his purpose to collect, record, and sometimes replay the echoes of Darling's experiences and the faint whispers of the internal world. He often haunts the Whispering Echo Chamber, a place where every external sound and internal murmur can be perfectly captured.

Darlingverse/Skree/Statblock

From Skree's perspective, he's likes hanging out with others and is happy to only speak when it's important, but by now he's not as shy as he once was. He knows his worth when it comes to protecting the City, though.


Intro

Skree

Although most of it is hidden in his memories, Skree knows he was a quiet, observant child, perhaps nine or ten years old, who worked as an assistant in a dusty old bookbinder's shop in the big city. Feeling shy and prone to keeping to himself, he found immense solace and a peculiar talent in meticulously mimicking the sounds and voices he heard – the creak of old leather, the rustle of pages, the distant clamor of the city, or a customer's specific inflection. He was a keen listener, often overlooked, and his world was one of precise replication. The memories are not many, but he keeps them close to his heart. The last such memory was looking for a chiming music box in an abandoned shop, after which the chimes turns to screams.

When Skree awoke within Darlington City, his inherent shyness paired with his keen observational skills made him the silent archivist of the city's auditory impressions. He views this strange purgatory as a vast, shifting soundscape and visual tapestry, his purpose to collect, record, and sometimes replay the echoes of the occurring experiences and the faint whispers of the internal world. He often haunts the Whispering Echo Chamber, a place where every external sound and internal murmur can be perfectly captured, or released.


With Others

Closer To: Skree finds a profound connection with Zee, sharing a mutual understanding of stealth, observation, and navigating the quieter, often overlooked spaces within Darling's mind. He also finds a unique camaraderie with Pip and Jinx, appreciating their creative use of sound and performance, often mimicking their antics or providing unexpected sonic backdrops for their schemes.

Antagonistic Towards: Skree struggles with Grut's booming voice and unsubtle movements, finding them jarring and disruptive to his delicate work of observation. He also finds Borin's rigid, unyielding nature difficult to understand, as it lacks the fluidity and mimicry that defines his own existence.

  • Closer To: Zee (shared methods of observation and quiet movement), Pip (finds his unusual sounds and humor engaging), Jinx (intrigued by her performance and sound manipulation).
  • Antagonistic Towards: Grut (his loud, unsubtle nature is jarring), Borin (finds his rigidity and inability to understand mimicry frustrating).
