Seldan Padaryn

Description

Clean-cut, well-chiseled, and the very model of a Myrrish -- wizardly type? He's a whisker shy of six feet tall, slender and toned of build, with some muscle mass but not brutish. His hair is straight and strawberry blonde, cut in what looks like a military cut that has been allowed to grow out, which leaves it nearly falling into ice-blue eyes. His features are even, straight, and strong, his smile genuine when it is there, his hands callused both in places where a swordsman's would be and where a pen-pusher's would be. The effect is that of an odd amalgamation of warrior and wizard, of dutiful son and rake and thoughtful young man all at once, as of one who is neither fish nor fowl and a little of both.

His clothing reflects more of the same, too -- a swordsman's shirt under a set of light, silvery chainmail and what looks like an extension of a surcoat into a robe-like garment of midnight blue, trimmed in silver thread, that falls just past the tops of his boots. Over all, on a steel chain, the symbol of a crescent moon and a sphere within it. A swordbelt is anchored at his left hip.

I'm in the market for someone who thinks they can draw Seldan! @mail me on the game or DM me on Discord if you're interested. I am willing to pay for commissions, and am flexible on medium but would prefer a color medium of some kind.

What Is Known About Him

These are things that he has alluded to enough in RP that most of the Explorer's Guild is likely to have heard these talked about.

  • He is from Bryn Myridorn, and is in regular contact with his family back home. His father appears to be an overbearing type.
  • He seems fairly sheltered. There are a lot of things that adventurers take for granted that are outside his realm of experience.
  • Usually the best place to find him is either Eluna's Temple grounds or the City Library, although the Festival Grounds are not unknown.

Combat Style and Capabilities

Seldan is a paladin/sorcerer multiclass that starts as focusing on paladin, but is more comfortable as a magic-user and will start to favor sorcerer at higher levels. He's not afraid to jump into a fight if that is what is needed, but given a choice, he'll try to use the spells first. His bloodline is Celestial, and since the effect of his ray attack is based on your alignment, I use it more situationally than as a default. Stylistically, he blends his magic and his fighting a lot, and as he levels, will develop abilities that reflect this preference.

He is mindful of when lethal force is and is not appropriate. He will not use lethal force on non-evil creatures unless it is used on him, his allies, or an innocent first, but if he deems lethal force called for, he will not hesitate.

Being a follower of Eluna, he does not take kindly to use of magic for irresponsible or evil ends, and will target evil magic users first. He'll also attempt to stop and to chide PC's throwing magic around because they can, especially if it is destructive magic.

Roleplay Hooks

  • Give him something new to try. He is open to new experiences and will try anything that is not hurtful to another, believing that knowledge is to be had in new experiences.
