![]() Just came across this recruiting thread so I'm sorry for the late application. An established Second Darkness campaign is a rare opportunity so I'd really like to take a shot at it. You can see from my PbP history that like several of your other applicants, I have a very reliable posting history. Genyielt is designed to provide a blend of divine magic, ranged combat and skills to the group. He's a elven-appearing garuda-blooded aasimar infiltrator inquisitor of Sinashakti who hunts evil outsiders for an organization called the Dawn Walkers (really high level overview in his profile). I did reskin scion of humanity to scion of elvenkind to fit his background, but otherwise, I think everything is consistent with the sources you've requested. ![]()

![]() Presenting Genyielt Tessariel as a candidate for the caravan to Kelmarane. Background:
Genyielt Tessariel was born in the elven capital of Iadara. Genyielt's father was one of the top instructors at the leading fighting academy in the city. His mother was a renowned sculptor. From an early age, Genyielt was groomed to be an expert swordsman and archer in the service of Queen Telandia Edasseril. It was not to be. A chance encounter in Genyielt's second year at the academy set him on a path that would change him forever. One of the Fierani Rangers that ward Kyonin from the horrors of Tanglebriar visited Genyielt's archery instructor. Genyielt happened by while they were discussing archery strategy and equipment and its effectiveness against Treerazer's troops in Tanglebriar. Genyielt pretended not to hear, but tracked down the ranger later that evening. He had found his calling. A month later found himself learning from a different sort of instructor. In the southern reaches of the Fierani Forest, he learned that mistakes wouldn't result in a bruise or instructor's curse. They meant death or the loss of your soul. Genyielt learned quickly. He found the more practical training of the Fierani Rangers to be much better suited to his needs than the dry academic approach of the academy. Once trained, Genyielt joined the Company of the Leaf - a storied ranger company renowned for their daring and devastating skirmishing style against Treerazer's demons. For several successful years, the Company of the Leaf continued to build their legend and Genyielt was thrilled to be part of it. But a terrible doom awaited. On a stormy summer evening, the Company of the Leaf found themselves trapped deep in Tanglebriar. Later investigation would find that two captains had been corrupted and turned by Treerazer's demons. Genyielt was one of a handful of survivors. In the hands of the demons, Genyielt was subject to not only demonic tortures, but the corrupting influence of Treerazer's realm. After three weeks in captivity, Genyielt was one of a handful of survivors plucked in a raid by the Company of the Willow. But, something had changed. Something about Treerazer's realm or magic had twisted him and changed him forever. He returned to Kyonin, but no longer felt at home. Before long, he left, beginning travels that would take him to all corners of the Inner Sea. But, he found that he wandered without purpose. He didn't feel at home anywhere, but needed something to provide direction. Enter the Pathfinders. Two years ago after spending time across Osirion and Thuvia, Genyielt found himself in the great city of Katapesh. He'd come hoping that the mad mercantilism of the city might offer variety that would still his wanderlust. The elf found employment with the Duskwalkers - the guild responsible for watching over trade in the city, especially the notorious Nightstalls. One evening, a disturbance rippled through the Nightstalls. The Seer's dreaded golem, the One Who Is Travesty, smashing through the black market. Genyielt was one of several Duskwalkers on the scene...a slim half-elf slipping away, a half-elf he recognized. The next day, Genyielt visited the Pathfinder Lodge of Katapesh. He really hadn't given the Pathfinders much thought before. But seeing Aurora Steelbloom had sparked an interest to learn more. Hours later, Genyielt emerged with a new passion and within days he was on a ship bound for Absalom to become a Pathfinder. The mission to Kelmarane is Genyielt's first mission as a Pathfinder.
Appearance:
Genyielt is an tall, emancipated, elf with pure white hair (6'5", 135 lbs). His skin is a strange deep brown and has a disturbing, inconsistent texture - some areas look like they are about to slough off, while other areas look to be as tough as leather or even shell. His eyes are a pale gold with flecks of brown visible for those that look close, in low-light, they flash a bright yellow when caught by the light. In the desert he wears loose-fitting white robes with twisting dark-brown patterns that suggest natural forms like leaves. Glimpses of a chain shirt peek out from under the robes. He wears a scabbard with a rapier at his side and has a longbow and quiver slung over his back. Crunch Goals:
From a crunch standpoint, I'm looking at Genyielt playing primarily a battlefield control role, but able to provide some archer support or close combat as needed. Curse Wasting
Tentative Feats
Tentative Revelations
Goal: After leaving Kyonin, Genyielt had given up hope of ever finding a calling as strong as that he had felt in his early days as a Fierani Ranger. But, the Pathfinder Society has fired his imagination again. He is excited to join the caravan to Kelmarane and secretly dreams of making discoveries worthy of being recorded in the Pathfinder Chronicles. |
