Name: Glynlen "Glen" Liadon

Race: Elf

Class: Ranger

Age: 105 (barely an adult; declared his adulthood on his 100th birthday)

Occupation: Professional caravan escort under contract with His Majesty's military and the city watch.

Religion: Deeply connected to nature, of which he considers Obad-Hai one important facet, like the wind, the rain, and the sun themselves.

Personality: His easygoing nature and frequent smile help him to fit in most places pretty quickly. He can take a joke after lifelong ribbing from his big sister, but if your words cut too deeply, he won't forget. He is quick to laugh while still being a worrier at heart.

Commonly known: Glen has something of a reputation with the city watch and military. He fits in well with them despite being an elf, which they find both surprising and pleasant. He is a crack shot with a longbow and an excellent scout. He chats frequently about his sister, who lives in a village in the forest, not far from the road running north from Brilight to the pony post and His Majesty's capital. He is rumored to have recently died and has no living parents, having lost them when he was very young.

Uncommonly known: His true Elvish name is Glynlen. There are rumors that he plays an instrument, but it was apparently stolen from him at some point in the recent past. He also hates goblinoids but has studied them extensively. He was killed when a group of bandits hired an escort transporting black market goods to the capital. He was ambushed while in his trance and remembers little of his death. He feels deeply indebted to his adopted clan for bringing him back and plans to go back to work to pay back every copper piece as soon as he can.

Physical description: Relatively short and lean, Glen wears his brown hair cropped short and leaves it messy. Like most elves, he has little facial hair, but he does have slight sideburns. When not wearing his leather armor, his traveling clothes are still modest and practical. His face is often bright with a smile, but his dark green eyes are careful and take in the world around him in meticulous detail.

Glynlen Liadon, Elf Ranger Dolore10

Contact: Dolores Imokina, Paladin of Pelor, Vice-Captain of the Eight Division.

Appearance: Human. Dark hair carefully curled. Dark velvet skin with freckles. Well-made gear, not expensive but not cheap either. Sturdy countenance. Kind smile.

History: Dolores Imokina is a young and idealistic soldier with a promising career in the Brillight standing army. Most commoners do not know who she is, but inside the army she is held in high esteem; nearly every fighter under her command has either been healed by her at some point, or (more likely) saved by her when she took a blow for them in battle. On the field she is always where the fighting is the thickest, her sword and shield a silver whirl as she strikes down her enemies.

Because she has--as her superiors would say--brains as well as brawn, she's been promoted to vice-captain of the Eight Division. The promotion is an honor but not one she necessarily wanted; being vice-captain means strategy and dealing with personnel issues more than fighting and healing on the front lines. Still, if this is where her duty is and her god requires her to be, she will serve with a light heart.

The Eight Division is one of thirty-seven which alternate their time between guarding the city walls and escorting merchant caravans north through the Silverwoods. The escort does not take them all the way to their destination, just to the designated relay point--a small barricaded waypoint town named Darkwater and nestled deep in the woods--where hired mercenaries and bodyguards take charge of the merchants for the remainder of their trip. The escort then returns to the city, dodging bandits and goblin raiding parties on their way.

Other Details: Dolores faithfully visits the temple of Pelor, offering a tenth of her meager army paycheck and her battle-bonuses to her god without reservation. Though she works well with all her troops--even the unsavory ones--she is herself deeply pious and law-abiding and not one to visit the Nightdocks or the seedier places in the slums. She is, however, an excellent person to speak to on the finer points of army life and travel through the Silverwoods.

(Dolores' NPC post is here.)

Ben, I know we didn't get a chance to RP out your backstory so you wrote it solo to help me out. Take 100 XP for your backstory -- same as the other backstory threads have been given.
