Lysara Tendelos, chaser of the unicorn

Post by Maiyannah »

Name: Lysara Tendelos (she never introduces the last name)

Alias: "Golden Eyes" - many that knew her in Cormyr or on the road would call her that as a nickname. She does not like it.

Race: Aasimar

Initial Alignment: Chaotic Good

Height: Fairly tall

Weight/Build: Sleight, but moderately muscular

Age: 24

Eyes: Golden (which glow faintly)

Hair: Bright golden blonde

Deity: Lurue, Mistress of Moonlight

Base Class & Proposed Development: She is a wizard; I may multiclass her, I don't really plan my builds, I go with the RP

Notable/Distinguishing Features: She has golden eyes that mark her as aasimar to those in the know. Were her back bared, she has vestigal feathers about where such a creature would have wings.

Appearance: A tall woman whom would merely pass as a fairly athletic human if not for her eyes, Lysara has golden blonde eyes that glow faintly, and a golden blonde hair of shoulder length she usually keeps braided in a couple short braids. She has a generally "scholar" bearing, but does look of stronger and hardier stock than one might expect of a scholar. Sara's resting expression tends toward the placid, and those that don't know better might think her a bit slow.

Personality Profile: 'Sara tends towards the withdrawn and broody around those she does not know and trust, but tends to be very warm, and increasingly protective, with those she does. She is calm, precise, and given to bouts of melancholy and introspection.

Background: Born to an aasamir woman and a human father, Lysara had a pretty mundane life as they tended the family farm. Her father was a minor arcanist of no great skill, but nonetheless encouraged Lysara to learn to manipulate the weave. She chafed at the responsibilities the family farm left her with, as it was always in her nature to wander, but when her parents were lost, she would find her freedom a bittersweet taste. Nonetheless, she sold the farm, and indeed took to wander. When she heard of events of interest in Waterdeep, she sought to travel there from her native land - something that effectively drained what money she made off the farm, but in exchange, offered her all the opportunities which lay in the City of Splendors.

There's more to this, that can be revealed through roleplay.

Goals: Lysara doesn't have very strong specific goals, but rather the more abstract goal of one whom chases the unicorn: she lives to wander, to experience new things, and to learn. Waterdeep offers this in spades. In the more short term, she plans to try to buy a property and decorate it, for the one friend she does have (presently) in Waterdeep, Alocera.

Enemies: She has a great enmity against orcs - sometimes bleeding over to half-orcs, for reasons unknown.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Despite, or perhaps because of it, Lysara having an arcanist background is very interested in the esotericism of her faith, and would find herself captivated by it. On the full moon, she is given to extreme flights of fancy and wanderlust, perhaps some remnant of her celestial heritage. She is very studious of the arcane and seeks to glean its secrets, and is especially interested in extraplanar lore.
