Notes

Raiyek, Paladin-Errant of Palladys

Raiyek turns around to look at the giant beast from the seat beside Dane. "I agree with Hadrak - if we have a chance to stop it, I'd rather try than let it tear through innocents. What are heroes for if not battles such as this?" As he speaks the elf draws a javelin, looking intently at the immense demon and feeling the balance of the spear.[1]

After decades of service in the Imperial Legion at uneventful backwater posts, Raiyek was stranded at Daunton when the portal there closed. He now roams across the Transitive Isles wherever his goddess and adventures take him, gaining experience to be a paragon of battle in honour of his patron, Palladys.

Fluff[]

Description[]

Raiyek has an impressive frame for an elf, standing 6' tall and weighing in at 175 lbs. He shows no signs of his age, still smooth skinned and with ample spring in his step. His black hair is long, but usually tied up or covered by his helm, and his vivid green eyes have a way of capturing a person, along with his infectious smile. He almost always wears a suit of plate armor, which is often limned with frost yet warm to the touch. At his hip is sheathed a large, double-edged sword of solid construction whose blade is marked by the occasional nick or scratch. Across his back is a long, narrow metal shield alongside a javelin with a wide head made of green-tinted steel. A thick maroon cloak edged in yellow thread completes his outfit.

Background[]

Raiyek was born naked and very young, entirely unlike the goddess he has come to revere most. However, he did not always follow the path of a paladin of Palladys. He was born to members of the Veritas, who raised him with the intent to make him into an assassin, their fellow. His brethren began teaching him the arts of stealth and trickery at a very young age, but despite his agility and strength of personality, he did not take to the instruction; Raiyek seemed to prefer more direct approaches than his brethren. When he became old enough to learn what the goal of his instruction was, he soon became disillusioned with the Veritas. He would agree that the Imperium was not as perfect as they claimed to be, but neither did he agree with the Veritas' methods of "persuasion".

Thus, just before his 17th birthday, when the Veritas would officially initiate him into their ranks, he used what he remembered of those techniques of stealth and especially trickery to slip away with all of the money he had saved, beginning a trek to the nearest Imperium colony. Upon arriving he used what little coin he had to purchase passage with a merchant traveling closer to Isolate Prime, and in the next colony he did what he could to earn passage further. He was never sure why he was heading to Isolate Prime, but when he thought about it he supposed that since he disagreed with the Veritas and the Veritas were opposed to the Imperium, perhaps the Imperium was the place for him. He never thought about the purpose of his life, or that, deep down, he hoped that he would find it in Isolate Prime.

Eventually he arrived in Isolate Prime. He spent several days just roaming the streets, marveling at the sites of the fantastic city. It was entirely unlike anything he had seen in his short life. One of the sights that fascinated him most was the great temples devoted to the twelve gods, and often he visited them. For some reason, he felt drawn particularly to Palladys' temple, but could not put his finger on exactly why. He began doing odd jobs and manual labour so he could buy food, but it was enough, barely.

One day, as he was shopping for food in a market, two men started shouting at each other - a fight was imminent. Without thinking, Raiyek went over and talked the two into merely storming away from the market to go their separate ways instead of beating each other senseless. Coincidentally, one of the priests of Palladys was nearby, and something about the words Raiyek used must have struck him, because the priest came over and asked Raiyek to come to the temple the next day and speak to a certain man, named Denar. To this day, Raiyek is unsure what exactly it was that made the priest talk to him.

The next day Raiyek went to the temple and met Denar, who took Raiyek into one of the smaller back rooms of the temple and asked him a startling question. "Have you ever thought of living a life of service to Palladys?" the man asked. Raiyek did not answer for a few days, but then agreed. Immediately he began instruction in matters of religion, higher society, and combat. Several years later, Raiyek became a paladin of Palladys. He had finally fulfilled his deep, hidden hope: he had found the purpose of his life!

Upon his initiation to paladinhood, the legion enlisted him to "spread peace and civilization." He spent a decade as a legionnaire a few Imperium campaigns, and then the decade after the armisti attached to the legionnaires at a number of Imperium outposts as a peacekeeper. However, he never liked the stifling chain of command in the legions, nor did anything truly exciting happen during his peacekeeping assignments. Recently he was granted a short leave between attachments and, feeling the restlessness of his years of uneventful service in the legion, he traveled to the new Imperium Substruct XXIII of his own volition, thinking a new outpost might be exciting, or at least intriguing. After arriving at Nova Imperium he traveled to Daunton and explored the city, fascinated by the differences and similarities between Daunton and Isolate Prime. He visited the Temple of Open Hands Eyes and Minds before learning its name and affiliation with the Open Brothers. He left the temple unsettled and slightly disgusted that such a cult would be allowed a temple in such a major city. Unfortunately, his trip back on the Shifting Seas took a day longer than anticipated. Fearing the consequences of reporting for duty late, he was somewhat glad to hear that the portal was down. After nearly two weeks dutifully waiting for the portal to be reopened, Raiyek succumbed to his lust for excitement and sought out adventure.

Appearance[]

Age: 44
Gender: Male
Height: 6'
Weight: 175 lb.
Alignment: Good

Personality[]

Raiyek is very warm and kind hearted, but also a little jaded from his experience with the Veritas. Despite his outward friendliness, his trust is always earned, never given without reason. As befitting a paladin of Palladys, he always seeks to improve himself, both physically on the field of combat, and in more intellectual and interpersonal matters.

Religious Beliefs[]

While Raiyek is a paladin of Palladys, he pays respect to all of the gods when appropriate. In his eyes, Palladys is merely his personal patron and guide, and he realizes and even thinks it necessary that others feel a closer attachment to the other gods. Due to his long journey to Isolate Prime when he was young and his numerous journeys to the Imperium outposts he was attached to, he also reveres Poseeydus and Hermethys.

Region[]

The Imperium - +2 Diplomacy.

Hooks[]

  • Purpose and Adventure - Why is he stuck on this side of the portal? Is there something he is supposed to do here? Or is it a reward from Palladys for his years of service in the legion, a chance for an undefined adventure?
  • Connection to Veritas - Raiyek never really told anyone in Isolate Prime or anywhere else his connection to Veritas (partly because he doesn't want the connection). Hopefully it doesn't haunt him ...
  • The Priest - what was it that made the priest talk to him, setting him on the road to paladinhood? (This one is a really weak hook, I admit. More curiosity than anything.)

Kicker[]

  • Kicker A - When the portal is opened (even temporarily), an acquaintance from the legion, or even a friend or rival, is sent to look for Raiyek. (credit to Dawn Raven for that one)
  • Kicker B - Before his parents became elves and joined the Veritas, they had a daughter. But this daughter didn't follow her parents, so they disowned her, never speaking of her to Raiyek. Totally unknown to him, his eladrin sister made her way to Daunton (blood relatives of the Veritas wouldn't exactly be welcome in the Imperium) and resides there still. Sometimes she even has reason to hire adventurers ...

Approvals[]

Level 1[]

Approval 1[]

Approval from --SeaPainter

1) In your summary description of HUNTER'S QUARRY; your target remains your quarry until the end of the encounter, not the turn.

2) In your summary description of DIVINE CHALLENGE; you might want to include the special condition concerning language.

3) In your summary description of DIVINE STRENGTH; you might want to delete the word "action" after the Minor in Parameters.

4) You also might want to include your weight allowance with your gold remaining section.

Aside from the first one, most of those are nit-picky & probably not required. Other than that, everything seems good... and a great background. I like the idea of him going AWOL to go adventuring, especially that he justifies it as an opening provided by his god... which also opens up adventuring possibilities, especially when 7 Rabbit's story is considered.

Anyway none of this is enough to hold up the approval process, so I approve Raiyek Meliam for level 1.

Approval 2[]

comments from covaithe

  • From Kicker 2: "Before his parents became elves..." I had to go read up on elves in the wiki before this made any sense. Man, the wiki has changed since I last paid attention to it...
  • It's worth making a note with the Channel Divinity powers that only one CD can be used per encounter. Most people put this as a Special field.

That's pretty minor, so I approve Raiyek for level 1.


Level 2[]

Approval 1[]

Comment from JoeNotCharles

  • Should be 13 gp remaining, not 18 (fixed)

Otherwise, looks good. Thanks for making it so clear.
