Acolyte of the Eclipser
"The Priests talk of the Fate the Gods have written for us,
But Fate is a funny thing...
Who decides our path in life?
Does Fate determine our path,
Or is it just a cage we allow others to build around us?"

| APPEARANCE |
|
Age 22 | Height 5'10" | Body type Slim | Hair Blue | Eyes Pale | Complexion Pale/silvery Lucius is an young aasimar man with pale silvery skin, blue hair, and pale eyes that sometimes seem to be shining as if under moonlight. His skin is patterned with arcane sigils of unknown meaning but give a hint towards his blessings under Xoros. A strange crescent-like blue crown grows like horns around his head, betraying his otherworldly blood. Having spent his whole life in a temple, he is slim with little opportunity or motive to put muscle on his form. He often has a faraway look in his eye as he contemplates the mysteries surrounding his life and daydreams of an escape from the drudgery and predictability of temple routine. |

Acolyte PHB
Background Feature: BACKSTORY Rough backstory:
For generations the Sortiarius family have been tending the temples of the Eclipser, Xoros. They have been diligent in their work, uncovering arcane secrets and tending the libraries that aim to pay homage to Father Moon's own hall of tomes. To say this was a family business would be to underestimate the scale of their dedication and devotion to the Lord of the Arcane.
It has been a family custom to gather each year when the full moon occurs at the same time as the moon's perigee and share the knowledge they had gathered since the last meeting. During these meetings, the Sortiarius family also planned for how to grow their family's strength and influence. At one such event prior to an upcoming lunar eclipse, it was decided by family elders that one of the young couples of the family, newly married, would attempt to conceive a child during this eclipse.
Nine months following the eclipse, a little boy was born to the couple with silvery skin and eyes pale as moonlight. Lucius' birth was heralded by the Sortiarius family and the Temples of Xoros as a blessing from Father Moon himself, and confirmation that the Lord of the Arcane smiled upon their family and temple. Lucius was brought up deeply entrenched in the workings of the temples in Thespoe, and as he grew, he demonstrated a keen arcane ability intrinsically tied to the moon's phases.
It would have been easy for Lucius to be content with his life, fast-tracked as he was into the path of the priesthood and lavished with praise and attention as the living embodiment of their chosen god's favour. However for all the ease this brought the young man, it also created the cage that bound him to this life. Lucius began to grow resentful of this pathway that had been chosen for him long before he had even been conceived, let alone born. Why should he have to play the part of the dutiful acolyte just because a council of his great uncles and aunts had dictated this was best for the family? He could never have the freedom to choose his own life or adventure while they presented him as the embodiment of a medal recognising the depth of their piety and devotion.
When the dream's began, it was frightening at first and he spent several nights waking up drenched in sweat and panting from the panic he experienced. As the nights went on and the dream kept coming though, the panic after waking quickly changed to excitement. This was new, and it was entirely his own. Whatever this dream heralded, it promised something that was unplanned and beyond the stuffy schemes of his elders. Honestly, Lucius believed these dreams were being sent by Xoros himself. The young acolyte recognised the gifts that had been bestowed upon him by the Lord of the Arcane and was far from ungrateful, but he had a complicated feelings towards the god that had ultimately seemed to trap him in this life. The dreams seemed to be an indication that Xoros actually did have other plans for him, which was infinitely more exciting.
Emboldened by the dream, Lucius packed his things and slipped away from the temple in the middle of the night. Father Moon seemed to be encouraging him on, presenting a dark new moon on the same night Lucius had finally found the opportunity to escape his gilded cage, allowing him to slip away under the cover of darkness. He was already in Halaea, but he would never be able to investigate the truth of his dream while trapped in the routines of his life in Thespoe, so off he went towards Baromenes, hoping this would give him the breathing room to figure out his next steps. He knows his family and the priests at the temple will want him back. Who else can they show off to the priests of other gods to demonstrate how pious they are? |
