Tally
MinorThere's a damp, mossy whiff about him that clings to the air like forgotten forest corners, his black eyes peering out from a tangle of greenish-brown fur with quiet, unflappable competence. Barely topping the counter, he moves with the sturdy assurance of someone who's seen every oddity the universe can throw. You can't help but wonder what tales hide behind that bulbous nose and paper hat.
Tally the Bopca Protector debuts in the chaotic dungeon crawler world as a humble volunteer counter worker, his furry gnome-like form and wet-moss scent providing a quirky anchor of normalcy amid the televised horrors. Stationed steadfastly at his post, he serves trays of food with efficient grunts, shaking his head at the absurdities unfolding on screens while remaining untouched by the escalating crawl. Though his role is minor and confined to the early stages, Tally embodies the unyielding alien backbone that keeps the interstellar spectacle running smoothly for crawlers like Carl. Across the series, he evolves little beyond this supporting quirk, a constant in the madness.
Physical Description
This furry gnome-like Bopca stands barely taller than a counter, his medium build shrouded in excessive shaggy brown hair tinged with green that covers his face, leaving only shiny black eyes and a prominent bulbous nose veined in red visible. He smells faintly of wet moss, evoking damp earth and hidden groves. Dressed in a simple blue apron that strains slightly over his hairy frame, he sports a plain paper hat perched atop his tousled fur and a nametag reading 'Tally' pinned to his chest. His presence is compact and sturdy, with a gruff helpfulness that radiates from his obscured features.
