Name: Keridan Gladewarder Race: Dalish - Wood Elf Class: Ranger Background: Outlander Gender: Male Age: 21 Level: 1 Alignment: Chaotic Good Deity: Andruil: Goddess of the Hunt, known also as "Blood and Force" and the "Great Hunter". Others of the Elven Pantheon on certain occasions Character Sheet BACKSTORY Keridan hails from the Virnehn Clan that lives in the northern Brecilian Forest, to the east of Dragon's Peak. As fate would have it, Keridan, the second eldest son of the Hunt Master, and Neithorn, the Keeper's eldest son, had vied for the affections of Ashila, the Clan's most desirous Dalish maiden, with Keridan winning her hand in the end. Nighttime with the Dalish But Neithorn did not take Ashila's rejection very well. Thinking she might change her mind in time. He played a waiting game. After a lengthy courtship, the two announced their betrothal. Which set off a series of events, which had Neithorn kidnap Ashila and short while later tried to rape her. In her attempt to get free of her abductor, Ashila accidentally fell off the precipice at edge of a deep ravine, plummeting to her death. Keridan and three others that had been pursuing them arrived to late and saw what happened from a short distance away. When Keridan saw Ashila's bloody smashed body on the rocks below. Enraged, he charged forward and grabbed up Neithorn who had been standing there, somewhat in shock of what had happened. Before the Keeper's son could do anything to stop him. Keridan tossed him to his own death at the rocky bottom of ravine. His body lethally crashing down on the rocks, no more then a half a dozen feet from where Ashila's dead body lay. Though what Keridan may of been somewhat justified under the circumstances. After much deliberation he was exiled from his Clan for a period of 10 years. His Vallaslin, based on Vir Tanadhalian or "The Ways of the Hunter", was modified, showing clearly to any Dalish the date and length of his banishment from his Clan. How any individual Dalish or Clan as a whole might treat him is hard to tell. Those who take the time to learn the circumstances behind behind his exile, however, tend to treat him in a more favorable manner. Almost half a year has passed since that happened, during which Keridan's wandering took him westward out of the Brecilian Forest. An for awhile he had scratched out a living selling wild game he's has hunted or trapped to innkeepers in the small villages and hamlets along side the the West Road. Reaching Lothering, in the South Reach. There he sought to find himself some more substantial work. Keridan was looking at some notices that had been posted on the Chanter's board. One said that a caravan headed northeast to Denerim, the capital of Ferelden. Was looking for thoses with the right abilities and skills to hire as guards and scouts. He had been about ready to go and apply for a position, when he was approached by a Grey Warden named Duncan, who spoke to him. Of course, ever since he had been small, there was always periodic rumors of possible Blights taking place, but nothing seem to come of them. In the couple of months he had begin to hear rumors of another such Blight having begun. Rumors which seem somewhat more substantial then those he had heard in years gone by. Thus when Grey Warden confirmed and added facts to what he had already heard. Including that King Callen had indeed raised an army that was going to be marching them off to south to the ancient fortress of Ostagar to meet the Darkspawn Horde coming north out of the vast Korcari Wilds. Meeting them there head on. Realizing that this Blight was not stopped there. It was only a matter of time before his people in the Brecilian Forest very existence would be threatened by them. Thus when Duncan suggested that he apply to become a Grey Warden. He readily agreed and thus he was recruited. After which, he demonstrated he had the skills and abilities that were needed for such a position. Thus he is traveling south with Duncan to the ancient fortress of Ostagar. Where he has been told he will take part in secret ritual called the Joining. With other recruits such as himself. To find out if he has what takes to become a full fledged Grey Warden. APPEARANCE Keridan stands 5'10" and is sinewy and wiry of build. His somewhat handsome face has a Dalish facial tattoo on his forehead. With green eyes, whom look at the world with a determined stare. His tawny colored hair falls halfway down his back. A good portion of it in a fighting braid that helps to keep the rest of it out of his eyes, at inopportune moments. He is dressed in finely tanned green dyed deerskin clothing. Over which is donned leather armour, light boots(moccasins) clad his feet. With a green woolen hooded cloak. With Longbow and a quiver of arrows over his shoulder. Belted at his waist is a plain but serviceable longsword in it's scabbard. Along with a large sheathed hunting knife. Along with a circular shield across his back. To use with his longsword in hand to hand combat. That is if any foe still living can get close enough to do so! PERSONALITY Keridan is the quiet observant type. Usually only speaking if he has something worth saying. Not just to fill the silence. If need be, he is not shy about taking charge of a situation. If he judges that such is needed. An once in awhile, when he is with those he likes and in a festive situation. He'll let his hair down a bit, so to speak. Last edited by Valornor; Jul 24th, 2020 at 09:10 AM. |
