Raniq

Raniq Fairhair

Background

Raniq Fairhair is the third and youngest son of Lord Alvar Aiglos, a diplomat descended from ancient Eldanar royalty, and Ce'Ilara Spellweaver, a half-Llyranesi wizard. While his older brothers took more after their father, Raniq followed in his mother's path, taking up wizardry and the faith of Eluna.

Raniq is an accomplished scribe and calligrapher, and an avid student of languages. Family lore has it that his father is directly descended from an angel some centuries ago, and this has contributed to Raniq's fascination with angels.

Having been raised at court with a diplomat for a father, Raniq has a generally open mind regarding other races, cultures, and faiths, but is loyal to the family, to Alexandros, and to Eluna. For example, he abhors the betrayal of the Mul'niessa as a culture, but reserves judgment on individuals until they show him an indication of their world view.

Description

Raniq Fairhair is an 18-year-old Eldanar (human) male, standing nearly 6 feet tall with a slender, but well-toned build. He has platinum blonde hair with a natural wave, which he keeps fairly short and neatly styled. His eyes are a subtle sky blue, but looking at them can seem at times like gazing into the depths of a frozen lake. The angularity of his features indicates close Llyranesi ancestry with a trace of even more remote Celestial or Fey heritage. His soft hands and fair complexion suggest a gentle-born scholar more than someone who has had to eke out a living by physical labor or fighting. He carries himself with evident confidence and almost constantly seems genuinely cheerful, with the innocence of a happy childhood lingering in his soul.

His clothing looks like a blend of the finery of a courtier and the typical garb of Eluna's clergy, expertly tailored for a snug, comfortable fit, and exquisitely crafted for both durability, flexibility, and style. He wears a long-sleeved tunic of whitest silk, subtly embellished with finely embroidered accents in metallic silver thread, a matching cloak and pair of trousers of dark blue cashmere trimmed in arctic fox fur, ankle-high boots of soft leather, and a white Robin Hood-style hat, complete with feather.

Usually, an ermine sits nestled across Raniq's shoulders or climbs around his body, looking around with frequent jerky movements. Raniq also wears a dagger on his belt, a bag hung from a strap across his upper body, and a carries a polished dark blue pole strewn with silver moon emblems.

Miscellaneous Class Information

Raniq is a wizard, specializing in the school of Evocation, with Abjuration and Illusion for his opposition schools. He is usually quite glad to exchange a spell scroll for another in order to add to his repertoire. He has an ermine for a familiar. Its name is Herman.

• He wants to meet an angel, perhaps even to form a blood-pact with one
• He has ranks in Craft/Calligraphy, Linguistics, Profession/Scribe, and Knowledge/various. Thus, a non-combat plot that deals with mundane scribal tasks including forgery or detection of it, creation of official documents, etc. would be a natural activity for Raniq.
