Varg Shelynson's page

Because of his deformities, he was neglected and not educated properly as a child. He grew big and strong, like most warriors of his people. But his mind was slow, and without proper training, he grew to speak with the slurred speech of someone who couldn't learn properly.

Rejected by his family for being stupid and ugly, Varg ended up on the streets of Oppara, capital of Taldor. He fell in with a crowd of street thugs, who manipulated him easily to use him for his great strength. When one of their capers went badly, Varg was left holding the bag. He ended up spending 20 years in a Taldan prison, abandoned by his so called friends from the streets.

Clergy of Shelyn worked to rehabilitate the prisoners, and they taught him the skills he never learned as a child. Besides reading and writing, they taught him to have self worth, and see the beauty in the world. In religion, he found purpose, and wanted to be a productive member of society upon his release. He even abandoned his old family name and renamed himself Shelynson, to reflect that he is a child of the goddess's teachings.

He tried to join the priesthood, to help teach others to see beauty everywhere, as he'd learned from the teachings of goddess Shelyn. But the other priests knew that his ugly face and poor speaking style would prevent him from ever being a good preacher. They encouraged him to become a warpriest instead, to use his great size and strength to help protect the world from evil.

He joined the Pathfinder Society as a way to travel the world, spreading the word of Shelyn to all. While he's willing to engage in combat, he tries not to kill anyone who may be able to be redeemed. As all clergy of Shelyn, Varg has tried to learn an artistic skill, to spread beauty to the world, but so far, his wood carving skills aren't that great.

A rose bloomed in the wood
A friendship made, we understood
The blessed music of Shelyn
Shining from a heart so pure and good
Giving all the joy he could --
Love is calling! Let it in!
