About Vladimir Wilhelm

French Wolf's Greyhawk Discussion.

First Two Years Training
1) Simple Weapon Proficiency (Light & Heavy Mace)(STR)
Spending hours per week in training drills on the grounds of Saul's Refuge Vladimir has shown some promise. Officer's from the High Fort spend some of their time training these boys for preparation, in case the worst happens. The old and grizzled Domar Dranstan has taken a shining to young Vladimir and it is rumoured that Dranstan and Vladimir's Father served together at the battle of Emridy Meadows.
2) Concentration (CON)
Spending hours writing letters and attending to Master Leeth's affairs keeps young Vladimir tired, often he has to fight falling asleep in the Master's den as he administers to Leeth's's correspondences. Its a hard task after morning callestetics, weapon training, and work on the Risper Horse Ranch. Vladimir enjoys this time, but he must keep a focused mind or suffer the head Master's wrath!
3) Level-0 Spell: Cure minor wounds (WIS)
When Vladimir was severly injured in a weapons training excersize Old Movomm tended his wounds, it was through her skill and faith that Vladimir lives to this day! He often visits her at the hospital on his free time, giving her flowers he picks as his way of Thanks. She is a Mother figure to him. Vladimir often observes Old Movomm Tending to the sick and injured, often he is amazed at her almost supernatural skill in mending the most gruesome of wounds.

Story
After the incident at the barn Vladimir had a reputation around Saul's refuge, he was the boy who knocked Jerrid out! He has begun to be treated differently and Vladimir likes it. He finds he can just glare at another boy and the boy will not bully him like in the past. It helps that Vlad has grown a few inches and is developing some muscle.
Vladimir has dreams about the incident in the barn, particularily about the rush of energy he felt that day. Almost as if another being was speaking through Vladimir's body. He also felt as if someone or something was watching him. One day while in the woods with some other boys. Vladimir was appraoched by a strange creature, the boys were lured off. Vladimir's memory is fuzzy about the events that took place over the last few weeks, but Vladimir feels he has changed in someway, weather for better or worse is still to be determined. Still Vladimir works hard with Old Movomm and the grizzly Dranstan, but is still uncomfortable around Master Leeth.

Vladimir's Background
before 11yrs old

Spoiler:
Vladimir is 11 years old, a Bastard having no father, and orphaned due to a fatal disease that took his mother in his 8th year, he has 2 older half brothers (different Father) that take amusment in beating him up for pleasure. Actually, all the kids in the orpahanage sibling or not take liberities on Vladimir, The headmaster just watches stating "it will only serve to make you stronger, if that fails, it will enforce the survival of the strong." Vladimir has had 2 bad events. The first is due to a foul odor he possess, the nickname "Dwarf-pig has been whispered in hushed tones, Luckily this may change in the future as Vladimir has been working at a horse farm link to other PC to help make money for the orphanage, the job mainly includes removing piles of feces from the horse stalls. When Vladimir was younger he lost an eye trying to defned himself during a martial training excersize from a larger older boy, this just reinforced Vladimir to "take his lumps" its easier that way. One good item that has happened to Vladimir is he has heard wonderful stories about his Father, it seems he was a hero at some fancy battle a while back. He was noticed for bravery at some battlefield known as Emridy Medows. Maybe Vladimir will take after his pappy? Vladimir has stashed away 40gps hidden under a floorboard in the orphanage.

Having no Father and having lost his mother due to an illness has begun to harden Vladimir. He is one of the younger smaller residents at the orphanage, but unknowst to him, he is one growth spurt away from being very large. Teachings of might makes Right and Order and Law are to be kept at any means, and Only the strong survive, are begining to mold young Vladimir's psyche.

From 11 years old to 13 years old first 2 years of training

Spoiler:
Vladimir spends his day in a very routine schedule, he gets up in the morning, makes his bed arranges his belongings just like the head master demands, “Order in ones surroundings reflects the order in ones soul” is often a Mantra Vladimir hears as some lazy boy is getting a lashing for not having the proper corners on his bed sheets.
He then goes out to the training yard to do morning calisthenics “A strong back is a useful back, strong lungs can provide hearty workers for their homeland” Is often yelled at those who waver during their conditioning.
After this is the martial training, Domar Dranstan often observes this and at times steps in to help correct techniques. Vladimir has a constant reminder of what it is like to lose one’s attention during this session, being one of the smaller boys he often ends up on the receiving end of the business, even losing an eye at the age of 10! But the headmaster seems to enjoy watching Vladimir take his lumps only to stand back up again and give his best against boys twice his size. Lately Vladimir has been experiencing a tingling in his arms and his wooden flail vibrates, when this happens his mind wanders and he sees a Tall grey muscular man, usually it is at this instant when Vladimir gets hit in the head and takes a beating.
This takes the youth to lunch where they eat in a mess hall; the meal is nutritious, but not very flavorful. After Lunch the boys are carted off to various locations across the village and surrounding farms and ranches, Vladimir spends the afternoon working at the Risper Horse Ranch cleaning the stables, and doing other chores. The money he gets goes into the orphanage coffers, but the Lady of the house has gifted Vladimir with a coin purse. Vladimir hides this treasure under his bed beneath a loose floor panel. Another perk he gets at his job is he is allowed to have supper with the family. He is fond of this time, and he gets along well with the children who are of his age. After supper chores are done the orphanage wagon pulls up and Vladimir returns to his “home”.
Because he is able to read and he has a talent for paying attention while concentrating on a task, the aging headmaster has Vladimir read and write letters to his correspondences. After this is done Vladimir sits in the Master’s chambers doing paper work while the Master tells Vladimir stories about far off places and of Heroes who place Law, Order and strength as virtues over those who are weak, he describes that the weak shall serve those who are strong, and makes references to the wealthy landowner who is strong and those who owe him money as the weak. He then goes on to tell Vladimir that he knew his Father, and puts a lot of praise on his Father’s strength and talks about his proficiency with the heavy Flail a great tool of his religion and how he was heroic at a battle called Emridy Medows, the Master often attends to Vladimir’s scrapes and bruises at this time using some sort of magic and healing skill that Vladimir watches very closely. There are strange cacophonous chants and guttural mutterings that while Vladimir is alone he practices, but to no success.
Vladimir enjoys his times at the Horse Ranch because he is alowed to play with the other children after supper and before the wagon comes for him. He also enjoys the stories he hears from the Orphanage Master up in his chambers. Vladimir is confused because up in the chambers the head Master is very friendly to him, but when in public the Master makes no moves to prevent the other boys from beating him to a pulp.

After the incident with the Master and Taya Risper. Vladimir finds himself having lingering looks across the Risper dinner table, where once he saw her as just a tom boy and a friend he is starting to notice the hint of a feminine form underneath her tunic....This confuses the boy!

Events
Foul Odour--Working on the Risper Horse Ranch in the stables has left Vladimir smelling not so good, the smell of the horses, and their droppings seems to linger on the poor lad a little too long.
Lost an Eye--During a martial training excersize, Vladimir was struck in the orbital bone and subsuquently has gone blind in his left eye, he can see shadows and shades of light from his left eye but no detail, the eye appears murky and white.

Description
Vladimir has wavy thick hair that curls at some points, his skintone is a tone of bronze sporting a deep tan. He has amber eyes and dark brown hair with lighter brown highlights. He is a handsome boy, but sports a scar on his left eye. The eye itself is a murky white color, leaving him visually impaired. He often wears his hair as to hide this flaw in his features. His ststure is small for a boy of 11 years, but he does have a frame of lean muscle, and he is quite strong and a fast runner. He is slow to smile and is shy in front of strangers, but once made comfortable he has a loud giggle.
FLANNAE

The Flan race, the original human occupants of the Flanaess, have a bronze-colored complexion. This varies from a lighter, almost copper shade to a very dark tone which is deepest brown. Eye color is commonly dark brown, black, brown, or amber (in declining order of occurrence). Hair coloration is black, brown-black, dark brown, or brown. Also, Flannae tend to have wavy or curly hair. People of the Duchy of Tenh are pure Flan, proud of their bronze color. Geoff and Sterich, despite mixture, show strong Flan racial influence. The Rovers of the Barrens are of the coppertoned sort of Flannae, although the western tribes show the golden skin color of the Baklunish due to interbreeding with the Wolf Nomad tribes. The people of the Hold of Stonefist and the citizens of the Theocracy of the Pale are primarily hybrids, the former Flan/Suel, the latter Flan/Oeridian. The inhabitants of the Pale are particularly handsome.
