PRAISE SAINT AJORA!
Hello friends new and old I am another new player who goes by the name of Lou. I live in Northern California where i work and take classes part time. I haven't been rping for the past few months so I am looking forward to getting back into it. So here we go.
I have Raol Leveren, a Holy Knight and member of the Fighter's Guild and more importantly (to him) a member of the Order of the Silver Blades. He was originally from a far off village that he doesn't even remember the name of before he was given up by his mother to some missionaries who placed him with lovely foster parents in Emillion. His foster family was rather religious so he grew up going into services and from a young age knew he would serve the church somehow. He ended up squiring for a Holy Knight. Some bad stuff happened but he got through it through the help of his mentor and St. Ajora and eventually made his way up to Holy Knight and joined the Silver Blades. Enough backstory let's talk more about his personality.
- Raol is an introvert, more content to be off to the side than the center of attention in social situations. He can come off as being stand-offish, but when you get to interacting with him he is friendly and even funny! A friendship with Raol requires a big investment but it pays off.
- He has a lot of hang-ups from his childhood when he felt like an outsider during his schooling because he was from a region that was seen as being backwards by people from the city. It can set him off.
- If it wasn't obvious, Raol is religious. He was raised in the church, he owes his station and status to the church. It's a huge part of his life. He goes to church, and does his best to follow the tenets of the Pharist religion...
- He's a homosexual and is understandably in the closet about it. From my understanding the church publicly doesn't have an issue with sexual orientation, but it doesn't seem likely that someone who was out and proud would advance very high if they were. I could be wrong about that but either way Raol doesn't tell any of his buddies what he's up to. The Blades don't really do serious relationships so he pretty much uses that as a shield if asked why he doesn't have a woman. He has had some rather discrete run-ins with gentlemen on off-time in the city.
- As is the case with fellow Blader Rictor, he hasn't spent much time in the city proper for the past few years as he is always going to and fro on Blade business.
Okay sorry if this was a mess, I am running off like no sleep. I am open for plots and SLs and backstory so feel free to comment below. Looking forward to playing with you all!
