Character Name:
James Aliester
Character Level:
3
Race:
Human (Variant)
Gender:
Male
Alignment:
Neutral Good
Deity:
TBD
Size:
Medium
Hair:
Dark brown; kept shaved on the sides with a wide mohawk that's always pulled back into a braided tail which runs down to his shoulders.
Eyes:
Blue like the frozen waters of Icewind Dale
Height:
6'1", 73 inches; 1.85 meters
Weight:
210 lbs; 95.2 kg
Age:
29 years old
Appearance:
With skin tanned with various years of travel and features carved from the hardships of training, Mr. Aliester walks with the trained confidence of a town guard. His pale lips are usually pressed flat, surrounded by the stubble that runs his jawline, and his eyes are usually focused on something, be it an individual that caught his attention, a blade he may be sharpening or a book he may be reading. His figure is fit and impressive, with several scars loitered throughout, but no tattoos or brands of note. That figure is usually encapsulated within a set of worn but well-kept heavy armor and strapped with a great-sword (and several smaller weapons and armaments) to match.
History:
Originally born in the Inner Sea near Phlan, the first span of Mr. Aliester's life was spent traveling to and fro. He grew up in a caravan, traveling various trade routes with his merchant father and his bodyguard, Aliester's mother, until one journey brought them all of the way to the Sword Coast, first to Luskan, then south. While taking various jobs within the caravan itself, he was never recognized by his father, and upon arriving in Waterdeep, his mother fell ill, while his father simply hired another bodyguard and set off once again.
Aliester cared for his mother until her passing, then, after mourning, took her last name and set out into Waterdeep itself, eventually finding his way into the City Guard, which lead him to a wizard that caught his interest. He took up reading in his spare time, which lead to him dabbling in the arcane arts. Through all of this, though, Aliester watched as adventurers of all kinds and races went on epic journeys and claimed magic weapons and artifacts. Eventually the call was too great, and after years in a position with the City Guard, left in order to become an adventurer.
Personality:
Aliester carries himself well with purpose and focus, and is always respectful and understanding to the best of his ability. His calm demeanor can shift, and in combat or conversation, no matter the threat, Aliester can stare it down without flinching, keeping his composure in a way that most can't (unless affected by outside means, of course). His time with the guard instilled a sense of law and purpose, and he will always obey an authority that he believes is just and proper. Ultimately, Aliester wants to do the right thing, and would fight for those who couldn't defend themselves, and being able to be outside the rules and edicts of the law gives him just enough flexibility to do that.
