UTasteSoSo Posted July 16, 2022 Clone Share Posted July 16, 2022 Caelis D'amakiir Half-Elven Bard 2 "Oft times it is up to those that harp." Cold Blows the Wind Appearance Being of a family of Half-Elves Caelis has a blend of both his human and elven ancestry. His features are fine and his movements graceful but his height and stature betray his human blood, else he might pass for a full-blooded elf. Long dark brown hair frames a tanned face set with golden honey colored eyes. Those pools of molten amber and a quick smile can melt the heart of even the coldest maiden or noble matron alike. He wears an easy smile, and walks with a quiet confidence not often found in such a handsome man. His wardrobe ranges from bright finery to utilitarian traveling clothes but is always accompanied by the lute in his hands. A razor sharp rapier stands gaurd at his hip, a warning to those that might think him a soft minstrel and an easy target. "Cold blows the wind over my true love Cold blows the drops of rain I never had but one true love And in Cam Ville she was slain" Personality Gregarious and light-hearted, Caelis is quick to laugh and easy to speak to. He has a genuine zest for life that few can match and an ability to bring joy to others. Beneath this seeming carefree exterior is a man that is very serious about making the world a better place. He wants to see the best in people but is often let down, though he is still unwilling to allow any of that to come in the way of helping them. Caelis is a loyal friend who is willing to put his life on the line to protect others, especially his companions those he cares about. Though he is somewhat naïve in his expectations of the world he is diligent and intuitive in his efforts to uncover and intervene in the tyranny that is so rife in Faerun. Despite the darkness he finds in his travels there is always a smile on his face and a song on his lips.

UTasteSoSo Posted July 17, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted July 17, 2022 @Colin I believe Caelis is ready for review! I would like to build a post/table for spells but they are listed on his sheet. I hope you like him. I do not believe I did not realize it but I think the Faction Agent background is from SCAG. I hope it is okay.

Colin Posted July 27, 2022 Clone Share Posted July 27, 2022 @UTasteSoSo I have no reference for SCAG, so I have no way to check the background. I’d suggest either a custom background or finding one in the available sources that you think works.

UTasteSoSo Posted July 27, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted July 27, 2022 That is no problem. The feature can be replicated pretty easily. I will update it for you with something from the PHB. I have most things available on DND Beyond so limiting them is a bit confusing sometimes. Ill ping you when I get it sorted!

UTasteSoSo Posted July 27, 2022 Author Clone Share Posted July 27, 2022 @Colin Are you okay flavoring the spy or soldier benefit to apply to the Harpers? They are pretty close to the Faction Agent in theory just what group they pertain to. The skills/languages are easily done with a custom background. If not I can go another route and have his background be simply what applied previous to his association with the group. Grand scheme of things I just like the idea that he is a novice agent or associate to the Harpers. Fits well with the story I thin as well.

Colin Posted July 27, 2022 Clone Share Posted July 27, 2022 You could go with the spy background relating to, and the character being something along the lines of a low level initiate to the organization.
