Well after Seven Months here we go. Hope this makes the grade. The important changes are in blue.
Name: Ganlon Martel Level 1
Age: 25
Race: Human
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Green
Height: 64 inches
Weight: 215
*Occupation: Ganlon is a Cleric of AEGLE.
*Personality: Ganlon is a person who is quick with a smile and a laugh. His humor is dry and often mistaken by those he is talking with as being insulting. If he cannot find something about you he likes he just doesn’t talk to you. Those he does like he will tell things like, “I know you don’t like me, but I like you anyway.” He often tells those dearest to him, “You know you really stink.” His quest for AEGLE has made him a little more wary of strangers.
Appearance: “There is something about that boy’s smile”, was what Ganlon’s one and only sweetheart said about him. By most accounts Ganlon is an unremarkable human of average build and height; however, when he does smile at you a light shines in his green eye that is the envy of any of the nobility. Travel on the road and his time with Milo have thinned Ganlon down a little. He wears his Chain mail shirt and leather leggings with the flair of a warrior and a white pipe hangs from his teeth. A Dehlar shield hangs from his back under his back pack. His clothing is simple brown homespun.
History: At fifteen Ganlon’s father started to teach him the trade secrets of being a healer. People got sick or broken just like the wagon wore out. The deer, the fox, the wolf, the birds, and the cows all got sick just like people. Watching them and what they ate often told you what you could eat and what to do to fix a sickness. The gods may choose to send horrible sickness and blight, but most of the time it was just the same cycle of life that ran over and over again. Babies were born, children got sick, and old people die. He made him swear early that the things that he taught him were secret. His father taught him that if everyone learned how to count the numbers, and read the formulas there would be no need for the village healer. His father didn’t hold a whole lot of stock in the village cleric. The man was a follower of a war god and often stated the only way to get into heaven was through valor. Ganlon’s father told Ganlon that Valor usually meant a whole lot of killing. How a divine being found the dying of its followers a good thing was something that he would have to find out after he passed on. This never stopped Ganlon’s father from teaching Ganlon to defend himself. As most of the village men had done Ganlon’s father had served in the army of the local lord. He had learned to hunt and live off the land. Ganlon gleaned these skills from his father and even learned to use the sword and shield his father hung on the wall of their hut. Genove Lambert was in his life for a short time before the shaking sickness took her. She was the one that he would marry. When it came on the sickness would stop her words and she would wet herself. There was nothing in his father’s formulas that could fix her sickness and he braced himself for the end. Even though she had a family of her own he buried her next to his father. He went months with out loving anything. He refused jobs and healed no one. Finally one day as he left to hunt he came upon a women lying in the road. He could hear the breath rattle in her lungs and knew there was fluid in them. He saw the hole in her side. He couldn’t stop himself and fell to his knees and plugged the hole with the coat from his back. He had roobis root in his pack and crushed them to help with the breathing. He sat next to her and wondered if he had been in time to help this person. He grabbed her hand and squeezed. He willed her to get better. He suddenly became extremely tired. She seemed to quiet. At first he thought she was dead, and he lay down to sleep. A flash awoke him. A woman stood in front of him. She was blinding and in her hand she held a wooden chalice. “You have been chosen.” The words were in his head. “For what,” he mouthed. She smiled, “to heal.” She handed him the chalice and his head was filled with Humans, Elves, and Dwarves dying on a hill somewhere far away. But it was the Demon standing in the middle of them that gave him the biggest shock of all. It looked right at him and smiled. Then the vision was gone and the women with it. Ganlon left his hometown that day and never returned. Ganlon still searches for the hill where he saw the Demon. Ganlon has travelled the land since leaving his farm. He has met with many different peoples and creatures. His time with The Team of Fellows helped him to find ways that his healing arts worked. His travels with his companion Milo Elkheart lead him to find the Name of his Goddess, Aegle. He learned of his true calling as a Cleric of Aegle and of family that he didn’t know existed. He has honed his skills with the sword and his shield fighting not only against evil but in the arena.
