Xander Krome

Appearance
Image
Xander is a rather attractive young man. Much like his father when his age he stands tall at 6'2" and has a well formed, muscular physique, weighing in around 190 lbs. The only Biqaj trait he had inherited was his silvery red blood, most of his traits came from his father not mother. Ever since he was a teen he had been handsome, girls during his child hood would flock to him. Whether that was due to his location and the lack of attractive men or because he really was quite the looker is not certain, but what is was he had no time for such things. At the time he was much the same as he is now, too busy for such trivial things as girlfriends. Even back then, as a teen, his blonde hair was well kept, often combed back on his head giving it a quiff like appearance. His blue eyes are said to be piercing, he was once told by a woman that if she didn't know better she would say he could see right into her mind and read her thoughts. He has a strong square jaw but the rest of his face quite soft. These softer features help to give him a young look, he has had people not believe him when he told them his age. His body is covered in lean muscle, every inch firm to the touch. He is often seen smiling and laughing, both are images different to how he truly feels inside.

He normally will avoid the finer clothes worn by nobles and opts for more practical wear. However, he has been seen dressed in the heights of Venora fashion from time to time, mostly to keep himself of good standings with the other nobles or to attend some form of ball. In reality he prefers to be practical and ready to fight, the fine noble clothes tend not to provide this. He has a rather charming look to him and he is always, outwardly at least, happy and content. This makes him rather easy to approach and those that do strike up conversation will often be met with a friendly greeting and smile. It is rare that he truly lets out the anger and frustration that is inside.

He is very particular about keeping himself in good shape and therefore will spend a large amount of time exercising and eating well, if not for this he may end up like his father fat and unfit, something Xander would much rather avoid. He is very aware of his attractive appearance and this is something he has used in the past in order to take advantage of woman at parties, they do love to gossip and sometimes they can tell about some of the most interesting and important topics. Besides thia Xander is not sure of any uses for his attractive form, he just sees his body as a method of getting what he wants. Whether that be attracting and wooing a female or fighting an enemy on the field of battle.

Scars:
Xander has a scar on his right thigh from a fight with Rafael Warrick in Ashan 717.
Xander has a scar on his left calf from a fight with Rafael Warrick in Ashan 717.
Xander has a scar on his left forearm from a fight with criminals in Ymiden 717.

Xander Krome

Personality
Image


See the bottom for the most recent changes to Xander's personality and beliefs.

Xander has always been one to keep his emotions and beliefs to himself. Outwardly he maintains the appearance of a happy and loyal noble, but if you were to manage to pierce his outer shell you would find something different. Xander's whole mental state revolves around the idea of a revolution, everything he does is geared towards helping him on his mission to make a free Krome. This is where his heart lies, he has no space for loving a woman, it is taken by the love of Krome and its people. He despises the Kingdom, he sees the whole concept as floored and unfair. He is a strong advocate for more power being given to the people and the creation of a state that does not owe fealty to a king that is not their own. Few people will ever see this side of Xander however, as with many years of practice he has perfected his facade as a Lord of Krome, Loyal to the crown. This facade is of a very content noble, one happy to take part in the extravagant lifestyle of his parents and also the other nobles, from Krome and the other Houses. Many would find him quite agreeable and friendly, making him a great host.

He is easy to talk too and the only time he might ever show what is really hidden bellow this screen is when finding someone who shares his beliefs. Even then he knows the risks of holding such beliefs and is very careful about who he reveals them too. He has always viewed himself as the savior of his people and he truly believes that he will do what is best for them when the time comes. Xander also views himself as quite the underdog, sort of the black horse if you will. He is one of the furthest away from becoming Duke through inheritance, only a catastrophe beyond natural causes could bring him to power without using force. This knowledge has driven him to be ready to do whatever it takes for Krome. His view is that the death of a few innocents is nothing in the grand scheme of things, all great ventures come at a cost.

Sexually he is attracted to women, however, he has no real emotional attachment to any woman this far in his life. This is not to say that he never will, but to him he doubts its possible. The only girl he ever loved was his sister Zara, but following her death Xander just became even less open to the opposite sex. She had been somewhat his anchor to that side of him, she had wanted him to have nephews ans nieces she could see and after her death Xander lost connection with those ideas. He also needed something to occupy him, to take away from the pain and guilt he felt and so he focused on planning and readying for a revolution. He is most certainly two layered and two faced, you could turn him inside out and think you had met a completely different person. This ability to be two people at once puts him in a great position for keeping his goals secret.

Post creation changes:

Celeste Andaris and love:
Since meeting Celeste Xander has rediscovered parts if himself that had been locked away and surpressed for many arcs. He has started to feel love again as well as compassion. He is beginning to allow emotion back into his life around her and she is the only person who has seen the broken man that lies deep within Xander. Others have seen the revolutionary in him but she has seen the pain and then guilt that resides in his heart. Emotion is making its way back to Xander and he is beginning to change, only time will tell if for the better.

Following his attempted murder of his father:
In an attempt to liberate those who suffer at his father's hand, Xander Krome actually worsens the quality of life for the less fortunate and until Jersey Krome's death, will be haunted with the decision he made today and suffer through night terrors, blaming himself for not taking the killing blow.

The future of the revolution:
Xander's aims have changed, be it due to love or a loss of hope for what he originally wanted or even too much self confidence. He now wishes to be king of Rynmere along with Celeste as queen. This has risen recently with the news that Celeste is pregnant with their first child and that Alistair will be unable to support him in creating an independent Krome. He has also seen the foolishness of Cassander and the young kings bad decisions and also the suffering around the kingdom. For the sake and future of his child he now wishes to create a safer and more just kingdom, one where he has say and the people too have the ability to help in the rule of their homeland.

Widower:
In Vhalar of 718 Celeste died leaving Xander alone with his three daughters. The death of Celeste has begun to take its toll on Xander but he clings to life and sanity for his children and a distant dream to bring them back to Rynmere so they can live the life they deserve. Xander still stands tall before those he must but when alone he is empty, his lover taken from him and his life a wreck. He has no title, no wife and no home but he has his children and for them he will fight. It is going to be an uphill battle from here and while Xander is struggling he holds onto hope, something deep within him wills him forward.

Xander Krome

History
Image

Mortalborn Story in the spoiler below:
► Show Spoiler
Xander had a complex childhood, one that has shaped him to the man he is today. From the day he was born his parents seemed to pay little attention to him. The great Baroness and her husband were always too busy to see their son. The only times his mother ever held him in her arms was when they had a state visit and wanted to show off their wonderful new heir. Due to this he never bonded with them as a baby and later on he never felt the love or loyalty to them he should have. Instead he was raised by the butler, Badon, a firm handed but kind and caring man. Badon had strong morals and beliefs, mostly geared towards revolution and freedom of Krome. Before being a slave to House krome and working in the Northern House, he had been a normal man of Krome who had been part of plotting a failed revolution. Following this failed attempt instead of death he was put to work as a slave. That is how he ended up rasiing Xander in the house.

Although he was too young at first to understand the things that Badon was teaching him, it was clear that the man was off loading his radical and extreme views onto the child. Xander did not really take to these crazy idea and theories of an overthrow until he was around 7 arcs old. From as soon as he could walk and speak Xander had tried to impress his parents and get their approval and interest. It took him until the age of 7 until he gave up on this fruitless task and instead settles with Badon. At this time he began to learn about all the horrors that occurred across Krome. He was told of starving children and families unable to pay the taxes being forced out of their homes. Some things were jsut rumours and some parts were true, but Badon taught the child to hate the royals and the house of Andaris. He was lead to believe that Krome gave up much of what should be its own for the king to go about spending it on things that had no use for their people. This indoctrination was the fuel to Xander's revolutionary soul, he began to formulate ideas of overthrow and establishing a fair state of Krome. By the age of 17 he was already coming up with better and more radical ideas than Badon, all in secret of course.

The day (18 Ymiden, Arc 699) Xander's sister, Zara, was born was one of the best in his life. He himself was only 6 arcs old at the time, but he acted twice his age at that point, he felt filled with the responsibilities of a big brother. He held her before even his Father did, and when he looked into her innocent eyes, for a moment he forgot about everything else. But as always it could not be perfect, he loved her but at the same time he envied her. She had the attention of his mother, she pampered the baby in a way she had never cared for him. It was something he would never understand, why they had loved her more than him. But even in his envy he couldn't help loving her. He would play with her everyday, it was about the only time he was like an normal child. Around her he forgot about all his troubles and instead enjoyed every second of it.

They spent a lot of time playing together and talking about the future as she got older. She wanted to marry a rich lord and live in Venora, something he himself would have hated, but he loved her and so he ignored his feelings and would play along. They would talk of happiness in marriage so much that she managed to convince him that a woman would not be so bad. She would be the only reason he would choose to marry and without her he was almost certain he would remain single. She was his connection to his softer and more loving side, and she was his connection to the opposite sex, he needed her to guide him and take him through that, she would have been the only one who could keep him from his goals that Badon had been helping him develop. He loved her dearly so much that at times he considered just stopping listening to Badon and living like an aristocrat purely for enjoyment not ulterior motives.

Up until she was 10 was Xander able to enjoy her company, 10 years of time spent together. She had been his breath of fresh air and comfort through the hard neglectful years. But now it would come to be that he would kill the one thing he had ever truly loved. He got sick one day, very sick, he still to this day does not know what the disease was. What it was, does not matter, what does was what it caused. He got sick and Zara refused to leave his side. This would be her downfall, unable to make her leave in his weak and sick state she stayed and too contracted the disease. He being 16 and strong managed to resist and fight of the disease, but his sister could not. Her young and weak body was not strong enough and two nights after contracting the disease she passed on.

The loss of his sister was devastating for Xander, so much so that he nearly killed a boy a few weeks later. Clearly he had not heard the news about his sisters death and he had said something he believed to be funny, teasing the boy about how much he had loved his baby sister. Xander was still filled with grief and unable to control his emotions this soon after her death he beat the boy. He was a year younger than him, just 15, but he pummeled his face until it could not be recognised. It took two of the servants to break his grip from the boy. This loss of his sister almost broke him, for weeks he would stay in his room, weeping, blaming himself for getting her sick. These weeks gave him time to think and in these weeks he could not take thinking about her anymore, so he slowly began to fight off the memories of her with one aim, to free Krome. This was his focus for the next two years as he regained his composure and reentered into the society. The pain and deep suffering he felt mingled with guilt remained. Just now they were buried under a seemingly impossible goal.

But then, much to Xander's surprise as he came of age, he believed they would never forgive him for her death but yet it appeared they had, his parents suddenly started paying attention to him. He knew why it was, now he was an adult and they didn't have their precious Zara to distract them and raise to marry a rich noble needed him to do so. They could also make him do their work. At first he did not see the advantages of this, not until Badon pointed them out to him. It was revealed to him that acting as a Lord and doing Lord like things would lead to a strong position in which he could gather support for his cause and learn vital information about the goings on around the Kingdom. So Xander was named Steward of the house, put in charge of all the slaves and maintaining order and a suitable state for guests. He took to the job well, he was a natural born Leader, and having been raised by one of the members of the household he had good relationships with most of them. Although at first this caused some problems with respect, but by showing a firm hand and fair punishment he quickly gained the respect necessary to be the Steward.

Now it was clear that he could handle responsibility as such his parents started to give him more tasks, like hosting parties and gatherings of the nobles. These parties were where he really perfected his facade, here he could practice his appearance to the outside world and making sure there was nothing suspicious about him. These parties were what he also used to build connections with the other houses and search for support in his future aspirations. His parents were happy with Xanders skill and so they left him in charge as Steward, but still neglected him. They would only ever take time to be with him if they wanted something. This neglect from a very young age has put him in a difficult position with his parents, he does not care for them, and they are really in the way of his goals but he does still have that child feeling he can't help. No matter how they have treated him or neglected him, they are still his parents.

After being given position as Steward Xander began to grow more independent. Now earning a wage and being free to do as he wanted with his spare time as an adult, he quickly took to learning how to fight. The long sword was his weapon of choice, one which with some practice and good tutelage he could become very skilled with. He has already learnt most of the basics like, how to stand, how to grip and how to parry. He could probably fight with a low foot soldier now and stand a chance. Yet much more work needs to be done before he can be seen as any kind of skilled person. He is quite content with his life currently, as he is working towards his goal and everything appears to be on track. He has only a few worries these days, a few things that could mess up his plans. The first is his parents arranging him a marriage. One thing that would throw a huge spanner in the works would be him being connected to another noble family. A wife would also be a distraction he would rather not have. If he was to marry for political reasons that would be his choice for his own gains, but to be forced by his parents to marry for their gains would be nothing but frustrating.

Badon still remains butler in the house, and is the only person Xander can speak too about his thoughts. Besides him he has to keep them to himself, he does not keep a journal or diary as any written evidence would be too compelling. Instead he has weekly secret meetings with the old butler in order to discuss ideas and methods in which he could gain the necessary power or noble support within Krome to overthrow the Duke. Coming into Arc 717 Xander is at his most stable, building up his ideas and theories as well as securing his position and preparing physically and mentally for the trials to come. His goals clear in mind and his heart in the right place, some may call him evil or a bad man, but he believes he is working towards a justice for all. Xander's past has shaped him, but now his choices are his own and whatever comes next can be blamed on nobody but himself.

Xander Krome

Relationships and NPCs
Relationships:

Parents:

Image
Name: Sophia Krome
Age: 57 Arcs
Race: Mixed race (Biqaj and Human)
Title: Baroness
Skills: Deception- 60, Expert, Logistics- 40, Competent, Leadership- 50, Expert, Seduction- 30, Competent, Politics- 55, Expert, Etiquette- 65, Expert, Persuasion- 30, Competent

Xander's mother, but only biologically. She is a half Human, half Biqaj, noble of house Krome who is second down the inheritance list for the position of Duchess. Xander's relationship with the woman is purely professional, he has no love for the woman and never will. In all truth he just sees her as an obstacle in his path and someone to stand in the way of his dreams. She never showed him love and treated him like he was just another slave, to her he is just a pawn and to him she is much the same. They both play each other for personal gain and the relationship will never be more than that. She may be his mother, but only by biology. He is in some ways thankful to her for giving birth to him as his Noble title and standing does put him at an advantage but that is all he could truly feel gratitude for.
Image
Name: Jersey Krome
Age: 59 Arcs
Race: Human
Title: Baron
Skills: Combat: Blades (long sword)- 65, Expert, Etiquette- 50, Expert, Negotiation- 30, Competent, Politics- 40, Competent, Strength- 55, Expert

Xander has a very similar relationship with his father as his mother, in fact almost exactly the same. The only real difference is he thinks of the man as a bumbling fat oaf. Although in his prime the man had been attractive and fit, now he is older he has lost that. Years of a life of luxury have made him overweight and dumb. He is no longer as sharp mentally or physically and he never cared for Xander either. Xander also believes the man to have an unhealthy attraction to his man servant and sometimes even the serving boy. Xander worries this will become something inappropriate and so keeps an eye on the two who serve under him as steward for signs of the buffoons dirty thoughts becoming physical. Again there is no love here and Xander rather despises what his father has become, it looks like power and money can corrupt those weak of will.

Sister:

Image
Name: Zara Krome
Age: Would be 18 Arcs (deceased at age 10 Born 18 Ymiden, Arc 699)
Race: Mixed race (Biqaj and Human)
Title: Lady
Skills: N/A

The one person to ever be loved by Xander. Zara was a sweet young thing, she was fun and caring and would never hurt a fly. She was Xander's connection to his softer side, his compassion and his love. When he was with the girl he could feel like love was possible, like a life as a noble could truly be good. But this was short lived and when she died it almost broke Xander forever. Now this side of him still exists it is just buried under a layer of grief and guilt for Zara's death, which is then buried under his goals and dreams of revolution and a free Krome. Dealing with her death was too hard and instead he hid it away and ignored it. Yet she is still the only true love of his life thus far and she will always be the one thing that made him truly happy. If brought up in conversation Xander will very quickly change the topic from his deceased sister, preferring to keep away from the memories.

Celeste Andaris (Deceased wife):

Image
Name: Celeste Andaris
Age: 20 Arcs
Race: Mixed race (Biqaj and Human)
Title: Lady
Skills: See CS

At first a woman chosen by his parents, one he had never wanted to marry and believed he never would. At first he decided he would make as much use out of the relationship as he could, try and use it to further his chances. Little had Xander known how much his plans would change. Love was something he had not expected and yet love was what he got. A strong marriage with a woman he would have died for, a wife who gave him two babies and an adopted daughter too. Her death is a shock and a tremendous pain for Xander, he will never forget Celeste and remember his time with her fondly even if painful.

Olivia Warrick:

Image
Name: Olivia Warrick
Age: 21 Arcs
Race: Human
Title: Lady
Skills: See CS

Olivia became friends with Xander as a child, he, Zara and Olivia would play together. She is an age in the middle of the two siblings and for that reason she was able to be friends with both of them. They would often spend time together exploring the surrounding area or running through the fields playing tag and he would also let the young girl paint him. His one condition was that he could talk, not talking for prolonged periods of time would have ended up with him falling asleep. His sister would also sometimes take part either as a model or attempting to paint him. He has fond memories of this time, even if they are hidden away and he hides them bellow his facades. He kept one such painting, it was of him and Zara. This painting he still has and is hidden away for safe keeping but he prizes it over all else he owns. They have not seen each other since the death of his sister, although they will occasionally write each other.

Badon:

Image
Name: Badon
Age: 66 Arcs
Race: Human
Title: butler
Skills: Intelligence: 26 (competent), Etiquette: 26 (Competent), Detection: 26 (Competent), Politics: 22 (Novice)

Badon is the reason Xander is the way he is, to Xander Badon is like a father and mentor. The Butler taught Xander his revolutionary ideas and gave him the basis on what to create his future and plan for his goals. But as happens with most mentors and students, the student eventually overtakes the mentor. This is the case with Xander, he no longer needs Badon's mentoring but instead he uses him to talk too and share his new ideas. They are very close and their relationship is one that few would understand. It is built both emotionally and professionally with a mutual respect for one another and the goal they both see for the future of Krome.

Ala'ni Snow:

Image
Name: Ala'ni Snow
Age: Born 1st Ashan 711 (13 arcs old)
Race: Human
Title: Ward/Daughter
Skills: Caregiving (5), Singing (10), Dancing (5), Sewing (5), Cooking (5), Gardening (5), Basket Weaving (5), Swimming (5), Endurance (5)

A tiny little cherub-looking child, Ala'ni has pale skin, black hair and blue eyes. When Celeste first adopts her, Ala'ni is a scrawny little thing because she hasn't eaten properly since her parents got sick and died, but as time passes, she grows. Ala'ni lived in Krome with her parents until the sickness in Ashan 717. She had a happy childhood and her parents were delighted to discover that their daughter had a naturally beautiful singing voice. Although they were not wealthy, they saved up and got Ala'ni a singing teacher. Her first five arcs of life were perfectly happy and she helped her mother in the garden out the back of their house, with the cooking and was just learning to help with the sewing jobs her mother took in. She also used to enjoy helping her mother weave small and pretty baskets to sell in the local market. With her father, Ala'ni used to go swimming and he would teach her so that she was always safe in the water. When the sickness took them, Ala'ni did her best to look after them both although being so young she could not do much. At the time that Celeste and Xander come across her, Ala'ni will only speak to Celeste, and only in whispers. This is because Celeste has the same hair colour as Ala'ni's mother and so the child has attached to her. Unable to ignore this, Celeste has taken her in.

Zara and Katherine:

Image
Name: Zara and Katherine
Age: 1st Cylus arc 718 (6 arc old)
Race: Human/Biqaj/Mortalborn(From father)
Title: Twin Daughters
Skills: None yet, they a babies.

Zara looks a lot like her name sake, Xander's younger sister who died as a child. She has dark blonde/light brown hair and sea blue eyes and is currently baby sized. While only a baby Zara expresses a peculiar sense of stubborness much like her father in that sense. She is the louder of the twins and more assertive in her presence generally speaking. Still as a baby there is much still to be revealed about the girl she will grow up to be.

Katherine looks a lot like Celeste, baring the same colour hair and eyes as her mother. It seems to be a trait of the Andaris women to look much alike and Katherine is no exception to that rule. She is the living reminder of the wife he lost and seeing her face reminds him Celeste would have wanted him to carry on. Katherine is the quieter of the two babies, more content to sleep and rest she is by far the easiest to care for. When together with her sister she is often more dosile allowing Zara to be the adventurous one and leader if babies have such a heirarchy.

Capstone Abilities:

Counter Attack:
Xander has spent many arcs honing his skill with the longsword and yet one of the first things he learned still holds true to him; every defence should be an attack. This basic principle builds the groundwork for a powerful fighter, one who is a master in using an opponents attack against them. It is near impossible to throw a none magical attack at Xander that he will not be able to counter with relative ease when fighting in an even fight (for example without terrain and other environmental infringements such as blinding from sunlight or fighting up a slippery slope etc.) This ability makes Xander capable of fighting a user of near any weapon and being able find a way to exploit the attempts to cause him harm with them. The ability is, however, lacklustre when it comes to fighting groups beyond 3 to 4 men as Xander is human and incapable of defending and countering from all angles at ones. It also requires a lot of focus to pull off, making Xander all but unreachable for communication after engaged and choosing to use this particular skill. If focus is lost it can be quite dangerous for Xander as a failed parry could cost you dearly in a fight, leaving you open and vulnerable to as counter from your own opponent.

Domains and Mortalborn Abilities

Xander controls the domains of Swordsmanship, Heroism and Salvation. His control manifests in the following abilities:

Swords-kin (Swordsmanship):
Xander is a formidable fighter and his incredible natural talent may arguably be due to his connection to the domain of swordsmanship. However, when this connection is truly called upon to manifest it is beyond Mortal comprehension, the grace and skill matched only by the immortals themselves. When Swords-kin is activated Xander becomes a truly unstoppable force, his attacks move in ways that seem to defy physics and his defence is impenetrable as he becomes so synchronised with his sword they move as one. It would take an exceptional mortal fighter to challenge Xander when using this ability someone far beyond what you would deem possible. Truthfully this ability is perhaps the most powerful but self detrimental ability within Xander's purview allowing him to defeat the greatest fighters but often at a cost. While this ability makes the mortalborn absolutely formidable it will also leave Xander incredibly weakened after deactivation. Depending on how long the ability is activated it can range from simple tiredness to catatonic or even, if extreme enough, fractures occurring. (Currently Undiscovered)

Shock an Awe (Heroism):
This ability exists out of Xander's control, it is something that he is unable to force or stop but is only triggered under certain circumstances. When active the ability causes Xander's actions to have one of two effects depending on what it is he is doing. Should Xander for example defeat an enemy general in single combat before his and the enemy army the friendly troops would experience Awe, the act of heroism rooting itself in their memories forever and inspiring them. This same action would cause the enemy troops to experience shock, the act of heroism damaging their morale and impacting their ability to fight greatly. In a different example Xander may be scolding a soldier or a servant perhaps and the ability activate, at this point it would certainly have the impact of shock upon those witnessing it and whatever contextual negative effects may come alongside that. It is important to note that it does not have to be a heroic act it can be the opposite and still draw out the ability. Another important thing to remember is that this is truly circumstantial. For example, Xander could one day be leading a dangerous charge of knights into an enemy force and the ability remain inactive. However, if such was to happen it would mean that not a single one of four criteria had been met to cause the ability to activate. The criteria are that at least one of the following is felt for the potential of ability activation: intense passion, immense fear, unyielding belief or certainty and true rage. (Currently Undiscovered)

Saving Grace(Salvation):
Saving Grace allows Xander to see the things clearly and enact a solution when anything is in danger specifically death or destruction. This could be saving one man from a robbery or a whole nation from falling into ruin. This ability allows Xander to see a clear path to take in order to avoid this otherwise inevitable event from occurring. This ability does not, however, make its success a certainty it only shows Xander a path to take, it is up to him to act upon that vision. Xander can receive these visions at most once a season, except in extreme circumstances when he might force his domain and receive one extra vision but this comes at a cost not immediately clear to Xander. This cost is the loss of memories, small and hard to notice at first but cumulative all the same therefore it is important for Xander to be wise about manipulating this ability too much. (Currently Undiscovered)

Xander Krome

Belongings and Ledger
Casual Clothes (starter pack clothes):
Standard quality and practical. The clothes are well fitting but comfortable and practical for use. He only wears different style clothes for special occasions, he doesn't like the expensive and impractical Venoran style clothes and that is why he only wears them for special dances or balls. The clothes are One pair of leather boots, one Taffeta shirt, one pair of brown wool trousers and one blue wool over coat, as well as standard quality undergarments.


Formal Clothes (See ledger):
These clothes were eft behind when he went to Ivorian, he is currently without formal attire.

Purchased Equipment:
Image

Xander's Brigandine and Gambeson for use when travelling, fighting, training and anything else really. It is casual and gives an extra layer of defence from anyone who is looking for a soft target. The gambeson is wore below the brigandine providing a protective layer much like leather armour. It is good defence against slashes and cuts but can be pierced relatively easy with a good thrust.

1x Jenny (for travelling with his family)
1x saddle and large saddle bags
1x leading rope
1x 2 man tent
2x bedroll
2x heavy blanket
1x waterproof leather bag with straps
1x large wool cloak with fur trim

Equipment Starting:
One set of clothing a coat, shirt, trousers, undergarments, and a pair of boots. All clothing is standard quality.
One set of formal clothing a velvet coat, taffeta shirt, trousers and a silk waist coat. All clothing is standard quality.
One Set of Toiletries: Soap, A comb, razor, toothbrush, toothpaste.
One waterskin
Two sets of eating utensils
Tinderbox
Longsword

Loot:
1 x silk handkerchief
1x pyjamas from Celeste
1x Masterwork spring-loaded dagger

Prized Possession:
A painting of Xander and his sister Zara painted by Olivia Warrick. Painted a few months before her death. Spends most of its time hidden in Xander's bedroom.

Secret Items of Xander and his inner self:
A small ragdoll that belonged to your sister, Zara. (RM)

Saoire Event Gift from Demda:
Materials: Blade: Adamantite, Hilt/Crossguard: Sorelian Steel, Filigree: Tienite, Scabbard: Athartian Snakewood/Ostritch Leather.
Quality: Masterwork+
Condition: 100%

Description: An artfully forged weapon, sheathed in a carved and ornamental scabbard of Athartian Snakewood, wrapped in etched Ostritch Leather. The hilt is mostly devoid of sculpted ornamentation, opting instead for full functionality with a long crossguard and hilt that are reinforced by sorelian metal. The metal suffuses the impact of other weapons and blows, allowing Xander to parry and attack with persistent vigor. His hand will not tire as quickly as with other weapons, while wielding such a weapon.

The crossguard is flattened and wide enough to allow for some embellishment upon its hilt. There, is depicted a singular, almost translucent dragon etched in tienite filigree to the left quillion, while to the right, are three smaller dragon-wolf cubs, also etched in tienite.

Meanwhile, the blade is a simple, solid measure of blackened adamantite, forged and ground gently to a razor sharp keen.

Taithir: Mark of Ethelynda

Abilities

Ability NameDescription
Serpents HoodNamed for the technique many snakes use to appear more threatening, Serpents Hood generates an aura around the user that makes them appear like significantly bigger threat than the people around them, drawing the attention of enemy combatants towards the Shield-Bearer and away from more vulnerable targets. This ability lasts until the Shield-Bearer deactivates it or is rendered unconscious or dead.
Enduring ScalesThe Shield-Bearer's skin takes on a scale pattern, allowing them to absorb more physical damage than they could before. Poisons and toxins also take longer to effect the Shield-Bearer. The effect only lasts for a single Bit, and takes a Break to recharge before it can be used again.
Protective Skills IAdd an extra three skill points to one of the following skills: Any Weapons Skill, Shield Use, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 100 point cap on skills.
Honor's ShieldA skill that serves as a boost to the Shield-Bearer and their allies, Honor's Shield boosts the capabilities of the users own shield and those of their allies with a fifty yard radius, allowing them to block abilities that might otherwise shatter, pass through, or go around their shields, allowing them to defend against skills and techniques that would otherwise be much more dangerous.
InspireWhen this skill is activated, those around the user find themselves able to resist the fears and doubts that plague their minds, allowing them to act in spite of them when they might otherwise be unable to do so. This does not only apply to martial fears and doubts, but to fears and doubts in all facets of life.
Nobility's EnduranceA skill that requires a short sentence, of the Shield-Bearers own design, to activate, Nobility's Endurance grants all allies within hearing range of the Shield-Bearer, as well as the Shield-Bearer themselves, a boost to their endurance, allowing them to take more punishment than usual. The effect lasts three Bits and can't be used again for a Break.
Calm MindFor a short period of time, the wielder of this skill is able to calm themselves completely, leaving them immune to taunts or other attempts to anger them or otherwise knock them off balance.
Noble's ShieldAs the shield of the helpless and weak, no Shield-Bearer should be without their own shield. Noble's Shield will generate a golden tower shield when used and will last until shattered or deactivated, ensuring no Shield-Bearer is without this defense. However, these shields are no substitute for a real shield, as they cannot take too many heavy blows before shattering. In exchange, however, these shields have a cooldown of only a single bit.
Second WindA skill that activates when the bearer is on their last legs, this gives them a burst of sudden energy at the moment when they need it most. However, this ability has a large drawback in that it can leave the bearer bedridden for several Breaks.
Iron ScalesThe shield bearers skin literally becomes hard and scaly, giving them a significant boost to the level of physical damage they can take to their bodies. In addition, poisons and toxins are slowed to an high degree and weak poisons and toxins will halt their progress completely while this ability is in effect. The ability lasts for three Bits and takes two Breaks to recharge. This ability does not share a cooldown with Enduring Scales.
Serpent ManifestationA skill that allows the bearer to summon a Taithir Serpent familiar, a serpentine spirit that aids the user in battle. This familiar has no real mind of its own but follows the directions of the summoner, though it will act to defend its summoner in extreme situations. The appearance of this familiar is unique to each Shield-Bearer, but each is the size of an anaconda and can take significant punishment.
Protective Skills IIAdd an extra six skill points to one of the following skills: Any Weapons Skill, Shield Use, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 100 point cap on skills.
Serpent TongueThis skill is seemingly useless at first, as it only allows the bearer to understand the language of snakes. However, this gives the bearer access to all the information that snakes can gather undetected, allowing those who know how to listen to find information they might never have otherwise learned. There are myriad other uses to this ability, depending on the ingenuity of the Shield-Bearer.
Serpents InterceptionReferencing the blinding speed of a striking snake, Serpents Interception creates a dome around the Shield-Bearer that extends in a five foot radius around them. This dome blocks all physical projectiles, no matter how strong. An opponent could, however, walk right through this shield to engage the Shield-Bearer close range. It is worth noting that this dome does not prevent ranged attacks from inside the dome. The dome lasts for three Bits and can't be used again for a full Break.
Serpentine AwarenessThis ability allows the Shield-Bearer to detect the heat signatures of other people, causing them to appear fiery red in their vision. The real benefit to this ability, however, is mental in nature, as it also gives the Shield-Bearer an automatic awareness of everyone around them through this detection, even those who would normally be out of sight. This ability lasts until deactivated, but causes a migraine with sustained use.
Detect ThreatAn ability that is passive in nature, Detect Threat allows the Shield-Bearer to know when harm is intended to them or their allies. This makes it difficult, though not impossible, to be caught off guard or backstabbed. However, knowing there is a threat doesn't allow the Shield-Bearer to know when or where it's going to come from, so it does not pay for them to get complacent and rely too much on this ability.

Celarion

Celarion: Mark of Qylios

Abilities

Ability NameDescription
Bond (Minor)The Favored can Bond with 1 other person. In doing so the Bonded individual gains a single glowing band around their left forearm. The Bond remains as long as both the Favored and the Bonded allow it. The Bond only functions within 300 feet of the Favored, and dissipates shortly beyond that distance.
Illustrious Skills I The character is granted an extra three skill points which may be spent only on the following skills: Blades, Leadership, Discipline, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 250 (or 100 if fast track) point cap on skills. Within these skills, the points may be spent how the pc chooses.
Bound in BattleThe Favored and those Bonded with them are better able to fight together. Their tactics and movements flow almost seamlessly with little-to-no spoken communication. The Bond passes insights and slight thoughts between those Bonded while in combat together.
Brilliant Weapons (Minor) The Favored is able to create weapons out of solid light. The Favored can only generate one melee weapon at a time. To produce a weapon, the Favored must be in an area of substantial illumination (ie. Outside during the day, in a well-lit room, or at night during a full moon).
Bound Tongue (Minor)The Favored is able to understand one Fluent Language of those they have Bonded. The selected language can be changed once per trial.

Optimism The character is granted an extra three skill points which may be spent only on the following skills: Etiquette, Navigation, Psychology or Teaching.

Flow of Morale The Blessed is able to bring a brief surge of hopeful resolve to those around him. Within 10 feet, this lasts for eight bits; to 20 feet, it lasts for five bits; to 30 feet it lasts for two bits. At "Adored", double either the range or duration. At "Exalted", double both.
Calming Overcast A tense situation suddenly undergoes a dusky graying light, and the attitudes of everyone within 50 feet are affected as if the current hostility instead happened the day before, and everyone has had the time to cool off.

Song Forged

Currently Principales of the Song
Songforged: Forged with the Induk Sweetwine

Abilities

Ability NameDescription
ReforgedForged are not named as they are for no reason. By accepting an Induk's deal their body is filled with their power and tempered by it, making it tougher than it was before. A Forged will find that their skin is like a leather armour and their bones like iron rods, making them more resistant to blunt physical damage.
Light HeartedMusic is special to the Songforged. It is an expression not just of the wonders of the air, but also of the inner thoughts and feeling of the one who plays it. With this ability the Songforged is able to replicate the sounds of any instument without needing the instument itself. They still require skill in the insturment in order to make this sound effective, but simply by moving their fingers through the air in the right way they can replicate the sounds of a flute, harp, drum, or any other instrument they have heard before.
