Mylas Thorne's page

Half-Elf (changeling) Oracle.

I do not have any plans for multiclassing or going into a prestige class as of yet, mainly because none seem to fit the character.

I will be drinking a cola. Mylas will be drinking milk.

And though I normally like to have all stats above a 10, I think this is one of the few exceptions I'll make. I think an 8 Wisdom fits the character quite well, don't you?

Hm. These are all very good points. I think that Mylas would consider herself Khorvairian if she must put a label on herself.

That said, that's mainly because she was so focused on her family and their philanthropy. Helping those she encounters personally is all she has known in life and so would make that her code. If I may:

I am fair to others. I expect nothing for myself but that which I need to survive.

My community [Sandpoint] comes first, and I will contribute to it all that I can. If I don’t give something back, who will?

I will attempt to stay my hand in times of conflict, though will not hesitate protect myself or the innocent if need be.

There is good in everyone; I seek out this perfection and bring it to light whenever possible. Every life has the potential for redemption.

And for one tenet that she may have added herself due to the nationalism which has seeped into society for the past century of conflict as well as. It noticeably stands out, but I like the dissonance.

War is an unforgivable sin against the world. You shall uphold the Treaty of Thronehold as decreed by King Boranel and you shall destroy any who attempt to disrupt this peace.

Just a thought. It would be interesting if her family decided that philanthropy was a mistake that led them into a bad situation, and turned greedy sometime after Mylas started her quest to find her master, Krit.

Hey, so as you know from our PMs, I am leaning towards a sorcerer. To make things a bit more interesting, I was wondering if you would allow Mylas to follow the paladin code. I know the sorcerer is not a divine class, but was thinking that she like a paladin, she must follow this code or lose use of her class powers. It would be interesting seeing as I am leaning towards someone who is certainly more forgiving and thinks everyone is worthy of redemption. She would deal with all sorts of people, even those who could possibly be evil, but mainly because she would try to mitigate the damage they could cause while trying to turn them to the path of righteousness.

Mylas was born in Sandpoint, Breland and has lived here her entire life. She does not think much of political matters, believing herself to be a citizen of the world above any national ties and because of this will help anyone she comes into contact with whether or not they are her countrymen.

In a sense, she cares more about personal interactions than anything relating to governmental policy or the problems which those in charge might face.

Mylas is certainly the amiable sort with an infectious optimism which shines through despite any difficult circumstances. Having spent more time in her half-elf form than her changeling form, she sees her 'disguise' as her true skin and thus often neglects to tell people her racial heritage. Because of this, she rarely experiences any discrimination for being a changeling, seeing as most people simply assume she is a half-elf.

Some might call Mylas naive, as she always attempts to see the best in people -even those who may be seen as unsavory- but she laughs these comments off. Believing that a person's past or heritage should not play a role in her perception of them. After all, all that truly matters is how someone acts in the future. She truly learned this with her master, Krit, who seemed aloof at first, but grew on her especially when he started to teach her bits of his magical knowledge.

Mylas is also naturally curious about the world and seeks to explore outside of Sandpoint. The idea of meeting new people, seeing new places, and learning new magical abilities excites her above all, but she also wishes to see about seeking out wealth for her family and -more urgently- any word of anyone who might have seen Krit who seems to have vanished off the face of the planet.

Mylas' half-elf form is nothing spectacular to behold. She stands at 5'3" and weighs about 110 lbs, has short brown hair with similarly colored eyes. Her tanned skin does not have blemishes but this form does have a small decorative tattoos (part of her half-elf's appearance rather than actual, physical tattoos) around her eyes and nose. Their red color symbolizes the fire of a hearth and so the tattoos are a sign of devotion to her goddess, Boldrei.

Above all, Mylas fears not living up to the expectations set by her family members. As they have spent their entire lives helping other people for little more than a simple thank you, Mylas feels as if she has an obligation to do the same. A deeper, more repressed fear which Mylas holds is falling along the path of the wicked, abandoning her family's teachings entirely.

The end of the war was swift and yet not entirely unwelcome. Those who came back from the conflict were changed and those -such as the Warforged- were were created in the midst of it needed a home. Not all were welcoming to the veterans and new arrivals, but one family in particular welcomed them with open arms.

The Thorne family, longtime residents of Sandpoint, well known devotees of Boldrei, and renowned smiths across the city, were willing to dedicate their time and wealth to establishing permanent residencies for survivors of the conflict. After all, with the century long war over, it did not make much sense to hold onto any prior hostilities. To do so was to flirt with the potential ire of the gods.

Mylas Thorne, one of the youngest members of the family was born about a decade before the conflict ended. Having grown up in a shielded manner and into a family which has made selfless giving an ideal, not much changed for Mylas in the seven years since the war ended. She continues to do odd jobs for the community and goes to temple every few days to pray, only with a few new faces in the fray. This philanthropic giving, however, has cost her family most of its wealth, and with an increased need to work for their own continued survival, the Thorne family has not entirely stopped -but certainly slowed- its charitable ways.

It became necessary for Mylas' parents to send her off as an apprentice to a changeling merchant named Krit. The time Mylas spent with Krit was quite the shift for the young half-elf. Instead of working for the benefit of the community, Mylas found herself striving more for gold and the chance for a quick coin. Though the work was not inherently distasteful, she found it to be a different experience altogether compared to what she was used to.

Though there were positive experiences to come from her time with Krit. The changeling also happened to be a powerful mage who would often attempt to teach Mylas a trick or two on her free time. Though not always successful, Mylas found that she could learn a cantrip on occasion. Though she wasn't sure of Krit's reasons for teaching her magic, one thing was for sure: by the end of her apprenticeship, Mylas had quite the silver tongue and was adept at using a number of small, magical tricks.

Upon turning 18, Mylas was given a choice by Krit. Continue life with him, and he would teach her even more about the magical arts (as well as continue to send money to her family) or go back to them and apply the skills she had already learned to achieve the needed wealth herself. Though she was ready to dedicate herself to Krit's teachings, the night before she was to answer him, the changeling had disappeared without a trace, leaving all his wares behind as well as his prized compass; a tool which never seemed to point North, but Krit had always kept on his person.

Not entirely sure what happened to her former master, Mylas decided that she would continue living in Sandpoint for the time being, until she was sure she could dedicate a large portion of time searching for her missing master. Not convinced that he left her of his own accord, the young half-elf has made it her mission to go out and search for him, all the while gaining wealth to send back to her family so that they could one day return to their active philanthropy for the community.
