Clean-cut, well-chiseled, and the very model of a Myrrish -- wizardly type? He's a whisker shy of six feet tall, slender and toned of build, with some muscle mass but not brutish. His hair is straight and strawberry blonde, cut in what looks like a military cut that has been allowed to grow out, which leaves it nearly falling into ice-blue eyes. His features are even, straight, and strong, his smile genuine when it is there, his hands callused both in places where a swordsman's would be and where a pen-pusher's would be. The effect is that of an odd amalgamation of warrior and wizard, of dutiful son and rake and thoughtful young man all at once, as of one who is neither fish nor fowl and a little of both.

Description

Clean-cut, well-chiseled, and the very model of a Myrrish -- wizardly type? He's a whisker shy of six feet tall, slender and toned of build, with some muscle mass but not brutish. His hair is straight and strawberry blonde, cut in what looks like a military cut that has been allowed to grow out, which leaves it nearly falling into ice-blue eyes. His features are even, straight, and strong, his smile genuine when it is there, his hands callused both in places where a swordsman's would be and where a pen-pusher's would be. The effect is that of an odd amalgamation of warrior and wizard, of dutiful son and rake and thoughtful young man all at once, as of one who is neither fish nor fowl and a little of both.

His clothing reflects more of the same, too -- a swordsman's shirt under a shiny mithral breastplate and what looks like an extension of a surcoat into a robe-like garment of midnight blue, trimmed in silver thread, that falls just past the tops of his boots. Over all, on a steel chain, the symbol of a crescent moon and a sphere within it. A swordbelt is anchored at his left hip.

What Is Known About Him

These are things that he has alluded to enough in RP that most of the Explorer's Guild is likely to have heard these talked about.

  • He is from Bryn Myridorn, and is in regular contact with his family back home. His father appears to be an overbearing type.
  • He takes great interest in his family histories, and that has morphed over time into an interest in world history as well.
  • He seems fairly sheltered. There are a lot of things that adventurers take for granted that are outside his realm of experience.
  • Usually the best place to find him is either Eluna's Temple grounds or the City Library, although the Festival Grounds are not unknown.

Combat Style and Capabilities

Seldan is a paladin/sorcerer multiclass that starts as focusing on paladin, but is more comfortable as a magic-user and will start to favor sorcerer at higher levels. He's not afraid to jump into a fight if that is what is needed, but given a choice, he'll try to use the spells first. His bloodline is Celestial, and since the effect of his ray attack is based on your alignment, I use it more situationally than as a default. Stylistically, he blends his magic and his fighting a lot, and as he levels, will develop abilities that reflect this preference.

He is mindful of when lethal force is and is not appropriate. He will not use lethal force on non-evil creatures unless it is used on him, his allies, or an innocent first, but if he deems lethal force called for, he will not hesitate.

Being a follower of Eluna, he does not take kindly to use of magic for irresponsible or evil ends, and will target evil magic users first. He'll also attempt to stop and to chide PC's throwing magic around because they can, especially if it is destructive magic.

Roleplay Hooks

  • New Experiences: Give him something new to try. He is open to new experiences and will try anything that is not hurtful to another, believing that knowledge is to be had in new experiences.
  • Magic Man: Seldan takes a great interest in magic itself, and is keen to learn more. His magic is of the intuitive sort, but he will listen to theory.
  • Current Events: He is always keen to help out! Especially now, he will engage with ongoing plots and POP's. If he can help, he will.

His Views of Others

People He Has Spoken To:

Kaydin: What manner of mother lets a half-wit wander alone about the city? I can but offer him kindness ... and little more. Soup: Great and glorious, but a little wisdom will keep you alive long enough to tell those tales. Skribbles: A fine adventuring companion and true servant of Reos, but a terrible singer. At least the otyughs liked it, and that is what matters. Svarshan: You bear the marks of the Sunlord, but you are not as the Sunlord's people as they are known to me, and you show an interest in me. I am unsure what to think, but neither will I refuse you.

People He Knows:

Malik: You work hard, and are both strong and not. What haunts you, brother? Erendriel: Your magic is mighty. Your self-control is not. A dangerous combination, and one best tamed before someone gets hurt.
