The Depths of Dillium Das (Inactive)

Game Master Vinsomner

An ancient citadel sits on a plain, surrounded by never ending fields of decrepit farmlands. The once pearly white walls still stood, with only minor depredation to the structures. The gates to the citadel remained rotten and open, inviting anyone into its hold to tempt their fate. But place remains empty and abandoned as no one has ever returned from its far reaching depths...

so, I realized that I made a mistake with the budget for equipment. I didn't see that there was 10k added onto it so here the updated version of my character, sorry for all of that. ill also repost the backstory with him so you don't have to switch back and forth- Firefoot17

DM only:
Ciaran actually grew up in a tribe of barbarians that holds no allegiance to any of the 6 nations, and lived a secretive lifestyle in an unclaimed island. These barbarians were different from others though, they all had blood from magical beings that coursed through their veins and allowed them to preform miraculous acts of strength because of their unique abilities these barbarians also worked as mercenaries for the various nations. However since the inhabitants bloodlines have crossed so much, their blood lines tend to be random.
Ciaran grew up in a happy family, and was the oldest 3 kids and was born with the blood of dragons coursing through his veins. However, after a bandit raid from pirates under the command of a pyromancer named Fastues, left him without family when he was 14. Without any reason to stay on the island he left to join the navy of Irullia in hopes of catching the criminals that killed his family.

Backstory:

no one knows much about Ciaran or where he really comes from, in fact no one even heard about the now famed warrior till after his first battle among the Irullia navy when he was only 16. The battle took place against a group of pirates, led by a powerful pyromancer named Fastues, to raid the irullian ships during a war game set to take place between 5 ships, just off of the coast. When the battle first started the ship that Ciaran on, the gray wol f, was hit by a large fireball on the deck which sent the ship up in flames and caused many of the crew members to jump ship. The battle continued with the pirates pressing the unprepared navy hard, one already sinking due to cannon fire, and the other was up in flames. This left only 3 able-body ships against the pirates 4; however, since this was a war game, the navy’s ships only had their reserve supply of black powder and cannon balls, while the pirates were sure to have their ships full of gun and powder. The battle was hard and vicious, but because of the fighting, no one noticed that the grey wolf was slowly turning and moving towards the pirate’s flag ship the Red Drake, and towards Fastues. The demonic looking ship was seen to be piloted by a lone irullian soldier with a large two-handed strapped to his back. Unfortunately for the pirates, they didn’t spot the evil looking ship until it was too late to try and outmaneuver it. The air was split with the deafening noise of timbers splintering as the grey wolf’s flaming prow drove itself into the Red Drakes hull. A single figure jumped through the inferno that was now the [i]grey wolf onto the deck of Red Drake and stopped once it reached the middle of the deck and started to have a coughing fit.
Fastues stared at the figure of the man who just rammed a flaming ship into his. Judging by the insignia on the figures armor he was a soldier of Irullia but as took in more of the boys features he was probably no older than 16. The child was tall for someone of his age probably stood around 6’ tall, he had long brown hair, and carried a large two-handed sword on his back. His clothing was a standard irullian uniform with a tunic that covered the scale mail that the lad wore. He might be considered handsome, but right now he was covered with black ash. After a while the boy stopped coughing and stood up and said “you Fastues the pyropirate?” , “I’m much more than that lad, im every seafarer’s worse nightmare” replied Fastues. The boy gave out another cough and said [b] “word of advice, next time you throw a fireball at a ship, make sure you’re burning the sails as well” . As if to prove the boys point, one of the burning mast’s of gray wolf’s let out a loud groan and fell down and lodged itself against the mast of Red Drake. When Fastues looked backed at the strange boy he saw that the young man had an evil grin. “its time for you to die Fastues ” the boy said “my name is Ciaran Bran, and I am the man who’s going to kill you” with that Ciaran drew his large Great sword and plowed head first into the group of pirates that stood between him and his target.
The battle between the pirates and the navy continued, as the battle progressed only 2 figures were spotted on the Red Drake, as flames from gray wolf started to lick the side of the boats, one carrying a Great sword and the other lobbing balls of fire in a battle to the death. Eventually, both boats began to sink, taking the 2 men down into the water. With the pirate’s leader gone, they made a panicked retreat. After the battle a search party commenced to look for the body of the young man who gave his life to help win the battle. But after several long hours without a sign, it was assumed that the body was trapped within the sunken ship and that Ciaran Bran was dead.
When the ships returned back to port they had a funeral procession for Ciaran. Two weeks later Ciaran walked through the gates of a nearby outpost and asked for transportation back to his station. It was then found out that Ciaran and Fastues fought until the fire and smoke made it impossible to see and breathe, and then jumped into the sea and swam for the shore. But since the shore was too far he ended up passing out and, by luck, washing up on the shore he was swimming for. After waking up on the beach he used his used the stars to direct his way and the training he received at home to survive off the land as he made his way to a military outpost, it’s still unknown whether Fastues also survived the battle. Shortly after he returned to his post he was declared a war hero and was promoted, ever since then he’s rise his way to become one of the nation’s most famous warriors and survivalists. Today he is 21 and one of the kingdoms elite fighters, and bears the nick-names Dragon Hunter and Gray wolf from his first exploit against the Burning pirate Fastues. Because he is known to be adaptable, a survivor, and a berserk of great strength he has been chosen to help explore the citadel

[spoiler=Description]Physical: Ciaran is a tall intimidating figure, standing around 6ft tall and with a bulk of muscles covering his frame, he definitely looks like a warrior. He has long brown hair wavy that stops at his shoulders, he keeps it long to cover a scar that stretches from the top of his head down to the base of his neck, so far no one has been able to find out where the scar came from, in fact, he has a lot of scars he doesn’t talk about. He normally keeps himself clean shaven, but whenever he’s out in the wilds he tends to let his appearance become more relaxed, letting a beard grow and putting less time into grooming. He also has a tattoo of a Silver dragon with on claw holding a quiver of arrows in its left claw, and a great sword in its right, the tattoo is a memento of his family and a symbol of the power in his blood, it located on his right side, just a little above his hip. He tends to wear clothes that cover his body up though, preferring long sleeves and pants, so most people don’t see the tattoo that he has
Personality: Ciaran has a very happy- go lucky personality and tends to joke a lot, however he’s also a little shy. He doesn’t boast about his powers or his strength .He smiles a lot, but because he witnessed the death of his family his smile never really seems to reach his eyes. Despite being a berserker he’s quite gentle and try’s to be careful, knowing that with his strength he has to be. When he’s at a group gathering and starts talking with people he looks happy and makes jokes, but whenever he’s alone a more dark a brooding side comes out, one that’s filled with regret. He’s doesn’t rise to aggression and allows people mistreat him to a certain extent, but whenever a woman or a child is mistreated he instantly enter a stage of blood lust, with the intent of beating the assaulter within an inch of their life, normally it takes someone he knows and trusts to calm him down and stop him. Also when Ciaran enter his bloodlust, he isn’t like most barbarians where he’s screaming; instead he is almost completely silent and doesn’t say anything. When he does talk in rage, it’s normally is harsh whispers.


and for some reason it doesn't want to show the Description tab. so ill just fit it in this box. im really sorry

Where else could my half-orc be from? Since I lived in a monastery most of my life, it wouldn't be too hard to change nations if needed be. Maybe it was a monastery of elves in Lur'dalen and they somehow adopted a poor hybrid vagabond? :)


Gonna see if I can throw my hat in the ring at the last minute.

1: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 5) = 17 = 16
2: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 2) = 12 = 10
3: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 5, 6) = 13 = 12
4: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 3) = 9 = 8
5: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 2) = 18 = 16
6: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 1) = 13 = 12

Looks good to me. Gonna try an Elven magus.

Lur'dalen is a good alternative as they would have monasteries and be pretty open.
