Sir Justahl of NeoWald's page

He exudes confidence, courtesy, and charm in all his interactions with people, zealousness in the prosecution of evil, humility before his superiors in the church, and just a little bit of a showboat; you can see by his impeccable appearance as well as the way he salutes the crowd in jousting tournaments. He has an immensely appealing touch of shy awkwardness around women. He is a little impatient with court life and desires to make a difference fighting evil directly as he has trained to instead of performing his “Shining Knight” role in court.

YOUTH
Born into a poor family, a lot of neighbors tongues wagged when he was born looking nothing like either of his parents.
While watching a tournament with fascination one day as an eight year old, a passing Knight of Iomedae spotted him and realized that he was touched with the power of a Paladin and offered his parents a place for him as a page in the Order. They accepted and he began the rest of his youth in military training, religious education and even classes at the University. Among all that he learned a great deal about how the nobility works while assisting at court. He also took to riding like a duck to water and he became a champion jouster at a young age.
THE WAR ERUPTS
When the war erupted, Sir Justahl expected to be assigned to a Company and sent into battle. The Knight Commander had other ideas. He was instead assigned to the embassy to the Court of Stormfare as a kind of living recruiting poster while he rides in jousting tournaments; his charisma, diplomacy and exotic looks making him very popular amongst the nobility.
That has become a problem.
NOW
As the Knight Commander intended, he has become very popular among the nobility. Especially the women.
As a VERY handsome, well built and most importantly, Unmarried Knight, the women of the court pursued him relentlessly. Even some of the very married noble ladies of the court made some shocking propositions. To a man already shy around women, he has had to work very hard to keep them all at arms length; even resorting to claims of Vows of Chastity that didn’t actually exist in his particular Order. Increasingly, competition amongst some very powerful and obsessive noble ladies has become vicious, with accidents, poisonings and unknown assailents becoming more and more common. This has made the noble lords unhappy as well.
Sir Justahl, not being a complete fool, knew he had to get out of town somehow. But how?

Then Iomedae came to him.

The Inheritor shakes her head.
"No time, my child. You have work to do. You must be my hands in an important matter, and I cannot have you wasting time dodging useless aristo harpies." Her right hand reaches under your hood and cups your left cheek. You feel divine energy coursing through you...
Iomedae steps back.
"Now. You are too late to help the girl in her current predicament, but perhaps you can help the others who are already there.
Close your eyes, concentrate, let the light be your guide."
She points back over your shoulder. Turning, you see a small smudge of silvery light in the sky, like a beacon or bullseye lantern.
When you concentrate, it gets brighter. It is not exceedingly far away, but is back the way you came; away from the university and closer to the market district.
"Find the girl, Justal, and do as she asks. You are to be her escort and protector.
Choose whatever companions you need to assist you, but know that your road will be perilous, and you must not let her come to any harm.
I charge you with this task, chosen one. Be swift, be pure, my blessing is upon you."

You whirl around, a thousand questions burning your mind, but she is gone.

SPELL LIKE ABILITIES:

Aasimars can use Daylight once per day as a spell-like ability (caster level equals the aasimar’s class level).

Iomedae has blessed you with the "Mark of the Inheritor."
Once a day, as a Spell-like ability, as a swift action that does not cause an attack of opportunity, you can invoke this disguise spell; it changes your hair and eye color to black, shortens your hair, and gives you a magnificent scar on your right cheek.
Sense motive or perception checks can be made to discern who you really are, but at a dc of 20+your current level [DC29].
