Name: Lehander Maxwelle
Age: 18
Race: Human
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Gray
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 180
Personality: Content and calm, usually quiet and relaxed. Rarely gets hot-headed. In such cases, he is quick to hide his lack of composure. Regarded to be rather polite and kind, sometimes hesitant to approach strangers or initiate conversation. Is a firm believer in the idea that actions speak louder than words- as such, can be assertive in a situation if it calls for it. Not a natural leader; instead prefers to take a backseat to more headstrong people. Has a strong affinity for milk, also greatly enjoys upbeat lute songs. Feels that oftentimes true justice is more important than law- even if he may not necessarily act upon these feelings. Generally in an upbeat mood, he finds that few things apart from true evil bother him.
Appearance: Thin and plain would be the best way to describe him. Lehander has no outwardly special features. His hair is tussled, with most of it pushed to the side in an effort to clear it from his line of vision. His skin is slightly pale from a lack of exposure to sunlight. His eyes are wide and have a slightly tired look to them as though he is constantly in a state of half-sleep. His face is calm and relaxed, an effect that has come from an understanding of who he is and his view of life itself. He wears a loose-fitting ragged shirt, tucked in to his trousers. Around his waist is tied a purple clothe in lieu of a belt. His pants are moderately loose and gently tucked into his plain black boots.
History: Lehander, whose name means “handler of the light,” lived a rather common life. His parents were kind and caring, sent him to a popular seminary school in their region, and helped to foster a sense of hard work and determination in him that shaped who he is today. From the time he was a young boy, it was expected that Lehander would follow in his father’s footsteps as a practitioner of holy magic. A special form of magic which draws its source of power from the caster’s goodwill and heart, its users are commonly referred to as Light Callers. Typically used for ceremonies and healing processes, Lehander’s father was a particularly gifted Light Caller. He established a church referred to as the Bastion of Light in the small village of Yuegrandre that Lehander grew up in.
Upon completing his tutelage with his father, he was dubbed a Protector of the Light and given the opportunity to venture into the outside world and spread the word of this brand of magic. Gifted with his father’s old spell book and some basic supplies, Lehander accepted this task of immense importance and set off into the vastness of Althanas in hopes of furthering the knowledge of his people. It was whispered in his village that Lehander may one day surpass his father in terms of importance to the Light Callers. Until realizing his destiny, however, Lehander sees this opportunity as simply a chance to see the world.
Skills:
The Light’s Touch- A gentle touch by Lehander when he is calm and level-headed will allow him to heal minor wounds, such as a bruises and cuts. When angered or unable to think clearly (i.e. intoxicated or dazed), he is unable to focus his goodwill into magic.
Knowledge of texts- Lehander’s schooling background has granted him the ability to read a great number of languages and texts. Unless the text is some sort of cryptic or secret language, he probably has at least a basic understanding of its meaning.
Equipment:
Dull pocket knife- Useful for cutting bandages, thin ropes, etc
Waterskin- Good for holding a decent amount of water
Father’s old spell book- Contains his father’s old writings and teachings. Much of it is still beyond Lehander’s comprehension; though he hopes to be able to one day understand it through his own life experiences.
