Leonidas1789 Posted March 5, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) Jocelyn of the Dawn Class: Paladin Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 16 Alignment: Lawful Good Stats STR: 16 DEX: 15 CON: 15 INT: 11 WIS: 16 CHA: 17 Backstory The son of a a leather smith named Laertes Gellantara, Jocelyn was born in Andoran's capital city of Almas. His father had taught him the secrets of his trade; but the boy's dream was to become one of Andoran's Eagle Knights, a champion of the rights of the individual, willing to risk his life to fight against tyranny and injustice. Truth be told, apart from the Eagle Knights' generous philosophy, what Jocelyn liked most about them was their iconic golden epaulets and traditional blue-and-white regalia... But fate, it seemed, had other plans for the boy. Shortly after his fourteenth birthday, an elf called Elowyn presented himself to his father's shop, to offer his services as a tanner in exchange for coin. Laertes was only too happy to receive Elowyn's help, and for two months the elf worked with Jocelyn to complete an urgent order for the temple of Iomedae. The two became friends; Jocelyn was gifted for the trade, but it was soon obvious to him that he did not have Elowyn's dexterity, which enabled the elf to work faster. Once the order was complete, Elowyn and Jocelyn headed to the temple together in order to deliver it; and that is how Jocelyn discovered the clergy of Iomedae and decided to become one of Her paladins. The priests and knights had noticed his potential leadership skills, strength and wisdom, and decided to grant his wish and accept him as a squire. The boy was only fourteen years old at the time. His training took two years, during which Elowyn, who was still working at Laertes' shop, investigated the rumor about the Runelord artifact he was secretly seeking - with little success at first, and more recently with tangible results: the trail led to Taggun Hold, but Elowyn needed his young - and human - friend's help on that quest. Finding worth in his cause, the young paladin accepted to help him.

Leonidas1789 Posted March 9, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 9, 2023 @Jedaii: wrote a short backstory; please let me know if 1/ you need anything else for the application to be complete, and 2/ if @StevetheNPC and I can go ahead and claim the extra 50% gold for shared backgrounds. With or without the extra gold, Jocelyn will then buy a horse, and be ready to embark on this campaign ! Cheers.
