Name: Friar Argent Svar Race: Half-Elf Sex: Male Age: 17 Height: 5'10" Weight: 150lbs Hair: Silver Eyes: Red Occupation: Member of The Heart of the Flame, A Secret Sect of the Silver Flame Story: See Above Characteristics: See Above History Shortly after I was born I was left on the door step of a small Sovereign Host church in Vinsten and the on-duty lay priest (Friar Corbin Carrith, H, Expert) worked as an agent for a very small sect within the Silver Flame called the Heart of the Flame. He took me in as his own son, raising me as a loving but stern father. Every summer we went and did some 'missionary work' where we would meet up with 4 or 5 other children and we would play games and learn from all of our mentors all in preparation for carrying on in their stead, but his is not something that we knew. During these times we would go to a nearby village and help out; sometimes with the others, and sometimes on our own. Be in the end there would be a mission that we needed to accomplish with our new skills. During the Last War I spent most of my time along with the members of our church helping the community to defend itself from the predations of Sahuaguin and Karn forces. My father had me concentrate on detailing officers and spell casters. I spent a lot of my time sticking up for the locals and when the situation allowed I killed a few soldiers of my own. Violence is not always the answer, but it is sometimes necessary. Our small village has gone through a lot of rebuilding in the 2 years following the Treaty of Thronehold. We have worked hard to rebuild our small village and to establish our self-sufficiency and sense of community. There is still a sense of tenseness with the expectation that something bad is going to happed, but that is going away slowly. I long for a kinder and gentler Flame and believe that I can better serve the Flame by embracing the more subtle side of the Silver Flame. I wonder what happened to the other children and my other mentors. My father and I have stopped going on our joint pilgrimages. I have been told, and have done so, that I am able to do missionary work and pilgrimages my self now. I am ready. I have heard of this Heart of the Flame and I am not to speak of it. Someday I will understand. The war brought much death and sadness to many innocent people. I have watched as babies, women and the elderly have been cut down for just being there. Not caring about the war and not wanting to have anything to do with it. I have seen homes and lives destroyed while tending to this town. War has naught but brown pain and sorrow upon the common men and women of Khorvaire and that is a tragedy. Ideology: Laws, tradition, and etiquette are in place to protect, guide, and benefit the common man and the use of such to trap those who do wrong is well meaning and appropriate as the common man may not have the strength or knowledge to do so in their own defense. I am gifted with the knowledge and ability to protect the weak from oppressors and enslavers and those with a malign will. I am honest and forthright to those who that I deem are as well. Once it has been determined that someone bears ill will and intent the gloves come off as they must understand in the golden rule - 'The Flame of truth may cleanse as well as burn.'. The standard Flame priests and zealous paladins of the faith server their purpose well, but sometimes a gentler more subtle hand is needed to serve the faith and the peoples of Khorvaire better. Honesty and truth can sometimes cut and wound deeper that any sword or spell. I teach the Flame's wisdom as told from the perspective of the Sovereign Host. The truth of the Flame an be found in the wisdom and teachings of the Host. I believe in the Host and their existence and in the truths that they espouse. What you show to the world is not necessarily the truth that is in your heart. What you show to others and what you feel and believe may not be the same. Exalted Traits: Helping Others, Charity, Healing, personal Sacrifice, Mercy, Forgiveness, Bringing Hope, Redeeming Evil, Just Cause, Altruism, Good Intentions, Temperance Lawful Good, "Crusader" A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion.
Thevail 12-13-06, 04:59 PM	Actually, I'd say first ditch all the "he" stuff. Changelings have no particular gender, nor would they want one. So they NEVER see going from girl to boy as deviant or even dishonest. I mean, maybe he's in a girl mood today, and a boy mood tomorrow. I noticed that you did include a female character, but refered to the char as he throughout. Another thing to really take a close look at is , changelings are pretty much never racist, or sexist, or heck within limits even speciesist. If you can change those things at will, either as a statement or for convenience, how much importance would you really attach to them? I mean elf, half elf, human, half orc..like different lengths of socks. A different one for each purpose. I played a changeling who really tried to get to know everyone I interacted with. (Much to the rogue's annoyance) For a changeling who you really are on the inside (alignment) and what you can do (class) (skills) really are the defining characteristics of a person. This is just my opinion, this and a buck will get you most of a cup of coffee, all standard disclaimers apply.. Thevail
