They are both alive, and live off the largesse of the descendents of Terendelev when not on campaign. 7. Do you have any other family or friends? Angahaar is particularly close to his uncle Argixaran, the man who taught him to fight with a greatsword, and two of his cousins, Evrindaras and Axilos, who he’s trained with since they were born.

Angahaar is single, and has no children that he knows of. 9. What is your character’s alignment? He’s lawful good, though with a stronger emphasis on good than law. 10.

Evil should be given the chance to repent, but if refused, it must be destroyed. 11. Does your character have goals?

The crusader spirit of his family is strong in him, and he will do whatever he can to follow the example of his family and his draconic forebear. 12. Is your character religious? Yes, deeply. Angahaar is a devout worshipper of Apsu, the god of all good dragons. 13. What are your character’s personal beliefs? His beliefs are influenced by his membership in the crusade’s ranks and his faith in Apsu. He also believes that he must protect Kenabras with his all. 14. Does your character have any personality quirks (i.e. anti-social, arrogant, optimistic, paranoid)? The classic draconic pride is very much a part of Angahaar’s personality, though not out of any malice. Rather, he believes that he is better equipped than most other mortals to fight against evil, and as such it is his duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves and combat those whose abuses go unchecked. 15. Why does your character adventure? Much like his goals, he wants to follow in the example of his forebears and Terendelev herself. 16. How does your character view his/her role as an adventurer? Angahaar knows that he is a warrior, and in matters of stealth and knowledge he is woefully unprepared to face the forces of the Abyss. His skill with arms, however, is significant, and he seeks to give that to whoever he may end up travelling with. 17. Does your character have any distinguishing marks (birth-marks, scars, deformities)? As mentioned before, the silvery scales on his body show his draconic ancestry. 18. How does your character get along with others? Angahaar does his best to get along well with anyone he meets. This sentiment has lead to him being well-liked by many citizens of Kenabres for his charitable nature and desire to help. 19. Is there anything that your character hates? Angahaar hates evil and cruelty. Apsu teaches his warriors that they are the talons of Apsu’s wrath, and he metes out destruction to those who his god teaches him are to be destroyed. 20. Is there anything that your character fears? Above all else, he fears that he will fail. He has a monumentally high example to live up to, and his anxieties that he will not be good enough for his family, his god, and Terendelev keep him up many a night. Background:
Angahaar, scion of Terendelev, was always destined for great things. He came from a long line of crusading warriors, the blood of the mighty silver dragon Terendelev strong in their veins, marking them as something of crusader nobility. Angahaar always knew it was his fate to take up the family legacy, to drive back the demons that their draconic forebear had sworn herself an enemy of. He was trained from a young age to be the best of the best, and Angahaar lived up to his family’s expectations. He excelled in combat, philosophy, and the theology of Apsu, the patron deity of Terendelev and their family by extension. He had little choice in his life, but he was happy with it. In what free time he had he devoted it to the people of Kenabres, using his family’s largesse to help the less fortunate. The less righteous in his family frowned upon it, but Angahaar cared little. He was 16 when his first expedition into the demon-scarred wasteland of the Worldwound came, commemorated by a gift of a breastplate and greatsword, the preferred armaments of the scions of Terendelev. They struck out into the wastes, blades bright and tempers hot. It was a simple journey, more to give Angahaar and his two favorite cousins experience with truly fighting demons. In a forgotten crypt they stumbled across a lair of demon cultists, worshippers of one of the countless demigods of that foul species. Angahaar lead the charge, full of righteous fury. He cut his way through the cultists, his draconic blood giving him overwhelming strength, wickedly sharp claws, and an emboldening presence, all echoes of Terendelev’s power. Together, the four of them destroyed the cult lair, emerging victorious. Angahaar knew then that he would take the fight to the demons. Some of his kin were content to hide behind the walls of Kenabres, but he was not. He knew Terendelev would be at Armasse, and there he would formally seek her blessing to join the crusade. Appearance and Personality:
Angahaar is a tall, handsome human man with icy blue eyes and vibrant white hair. His facial features are strong and regal, and small patches of silver scales cover his arms, chest, and neck. He carries with him a greatsword and breastplate. He also wears a silver holy symbol of Apsu around his neck, both a reflection of his faith and a connection to his heritage. Angahaar is a beacon of righteousness in a land so desperately devoid of it. He is kind to the innocent, always ready to help someone in need. To the wicked, he has no such compulsion to help. If they are willing to repent, he will spare them and let those with more patience for rehabilitation take over. If they are unrepentant, he will try to destroy them, no matter the odds. He takes it upon himself to face down danger and evil, whatever and wherever that may be. When one doesn’t consider matters of philosophy, Angahaar is confident and self-assured. When not consumed with righteous anger, he can be surprisingly tender with those he cares about, even expressing some doubts in his ability to complete his ultimate mission of defeating evil and living up to his forebear’s example. He feels a deep need to give what he can to those who have less. While he loves bringing death to the wicked, he would rather ensure that the lives of the good and innocent are directly improved by his actions. Flaw:
In the throes of battle his blood-fury can consume him entirely. If a friend or companion has been injured in front of him he will never relent his assault until his enemies lie utterly destroyed. The righteous passion of the silver dragons is a great boon, but their zeal for destroying evil can often lead them towards mad zealotry or draconian measures. Silver dragon blood flows strong in his veins, after all, and their furies and passions are mirrored in Angahaar’s actions. Allies and Associations:
Angahaar’s closest connection, of course, is to the Scions of Terendelev. His uncle Argixaran, is particularly close to him, having trained Angahaar to use a greatsword with incredible skill. The church of Iomedae views the Scions with equal measures of respect and suspicion. Apsu and Iomedae are long-standing allies, of course, but the crusaders are a naturally suspicious bunch. |
