Biography
Character Name: Lykus Viran
Character Level: 1
Race: Githyanki
Gender: Male
Alignment: N
Deity: The Revered Queen, Vlaakith
Size Medium
Hair: Long Black
Eyes: Yellow
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 205lb
Age:19
Appearance: Lykus is a tall, lithe youth with features set in a perpetual sneer. He is corded with muscle and strikes an imposing figure. He has a taste for the gaudy and wears many pieces of costume jewelry over his heavy steel armour.
History:
Since winning their freedom from the mind flayers, the githyanki have become corrupt raiders and destroyers under the rulership of their dread lich-queen, Vlaakith. They dwell on the Astral Plane in the city of Tu’narath, a metropolis built on and in the corpse of a deity.
From birth, githyanki are conditioned to fight and die for their queen. Children endure a brutal upbringing that constantly preaches devotion to Vlaakith. Each of the fortified settlements where young githyanki are raised and trained is a combination of military academy and cult headquarters.
Such measures are necessary because birth and growth are impossible on the Astral Plane, whose occupants don’t age.
-------
Like all githyanki youths, Lykus hatched into a harsh existence in one of the githyanki's, material plane, creches. It is here that young githyanki are told about Vaalkith's Grand Proclamation; Having defeated the mind-flayers, the githyanki would take the place of the illithid as sovereigns of the material plane.
Subjected to years of harsh training and indoctrination, Lykus is scholarly and extremely adept in battle. His graduation followed a victory in single combat against one of his creche-mates in which his rival was slain.
--------
As their last test, a group of githyanki entering adulthood must slay a mind flayer as a sacred rite of passage before they are permitted to join their people on the Astral Plane. When the victors enter Tu’narath for the first time, they carry the bounty of their hunt directly to Vlaakith. She accepts the gift and intones a ritual chant that marks the youngsters’ induction into githyanki society.
Lykus has been sent into the world with the goal of slaying an illithid to present to his queen and hopes to one day earn himself the rank of Knight and be awarded a legendary silver sword.
Personality:
Young and idealistic, Lykus feels a need to prove himself. His devotion to Vlaakith is unwavering and his demeanor severe. He has been taught, as all Githyanki are, that the material plane is the garden of the Githyanki, to be harvested as they please. He is very intelligent and realises that cooperating with other strong individuals is the best way to grow in power, personally. He respects power and strength and seeks out bounties and treasures with which to arm himself against his first goal, the illithid.
Traits: When I'm bored, I make my own excitement and I'm always bored.
Ideal: Glory - I must earn glory in battle. For myself and for my Queen.
Bond: There is no greater duty than to serve The Revered Queen.
Flaw: I am slow to trust members of other races, tribes, and societies.
