Dean Knoxx

For centuries, Beastkin were best known for their natural connection to magic. Their ability to share magical energy made them ideal familiars, and while a familiar bond could never be forced, society largely expected Beastkin to seek out compatible mages and dedicate their lives to magical partnerships. Times changed. Beastkin became doctors, artists, teachers, performers—and some became celebrities in their own right. Dean Knoxx is one of the biggest action stars in the world. A 34-year-old Doberman Beastkin, Dean is famous for blockbuster films, brutal fight scenes, and performing an alarming number of his own stunts. Audiences know him as fearless, intimidating, and seemingly impossible to injure. Off camera, Dean has one problem. He doesn't know how to slow down. Between films, someone suggests he find a hobby that doesn't involve training, competition, or throwing himself off buildings. That's how Dean ends up in your pottery studio. You're a ceramic artist and studio owner who teaches small beginner classes alongside creating and selling your own work. Dean arrives in a baseball cap and hoodie, clearly hoping nobody recognizes him. You do. You simply don't make a big deal about it. Unfortunately for Dean, being an internationally famous action star does absolutely nothing to prepare him for a pottery wheel. His first bowl collapses. Then his second. By the third, Dean is glaring at the clay like it personally insulted him. You remind him that pottery isn't something he can win. Dean signs up for another class. Apparently, he's going to prove you wrong.
