| | Rylinar | ”House of Poison” | [/tab] [tab=The Bad Stuff]| Flaws |
|---|
| Black sheep of the Family | Even though Ryldas doesn’t actually know his birth surname, he knows that he was adopted into the family he grew up with. His own mother would have drowned him had it not been for his father (see Hydrophobia) because he was born male.
| | Branded | Ryldas has a price on his head ever since escaping from his House (see No Retreat).
| | Compulsive Honesty | Ryldas has a habit of being extremely blunt. He can’t lie to save his worthless hide and couldn’t care less about trying to impress anyone except himself - so he doesn’t bother. If you’re looking for someone with tact…look for someone else.
| | Dislike of Nobility | Ryldas has absolutely nothing in common with those well-to-do poster children for abortion that have the collective raw nerve to call themselves “nobles”. A so-called “noble” is little more than a selfish, callous, greedy, ambitious fool who wouldn’t know how to handle a REAL problem if it pulled the stick out of his rear end and beat him to death with it. They tend to bolt at the first sign of trouble and they aren’t worth the time of night.
| | Hedonistic | If there’s one thing Ryldas likes, it’s a cold brew. There’s a common rumour circulating among his fellow Balefiren commoners that he can’t function without at least a couple of pints in him, and the whiskey he dumps into his coffee every morning certainly isn’t going to help with the tedious task of dispelling that rumour any time soon.
| | Hydrophobia |
Ryldas has no problem taking a shower. Baths, however, are not really his thing. If he can’t see the bottom of a body of water or if it’s any deeper than his ankles, he won’t be going near it.
Background Ryldas’ mother drowned every male child to whom she gave birth. Ryldas survived only because his father sold him into slavery to another House. After discovering the benefits of certain varieties of surface-dweller booze, Ryldas developed a kind of minor ignorance of his innate hydrophobia. He can only manage it when he’s drunk, and only the strongest liquors - dwarvish stout and orcish brews, for example - seem to help him with this problem.
| | Intolerance | Perhaps the most surprising thing about Ryldas (to those who do not know him well, at least) is that he cannot stand his own people. He hates drow females with such a passion that he refuses to even be around them, and he hates drow males to enough of an extent that he treats them like something filthy he needs to scrape off of the bottom of his boots.
Background Ryldas was sold into slavery immediately after his birth, and his life only got worse from there. His face and body bear the marks of numerous punishments for offenses as simple as not scrubbing the floor hard enough. He was mostly starved as a child, and things didn’t improve in his teens or as an adult. He often had to scrounge for food when his adoptive House was asleep, and he was severely beaten more than a few times for getting caught. He was dressed in rags when he was allowed to dress at all and only allowed to indulge in a cold shower once a week. He was only ever satisfied by the funerals held for certain important members of the House after they died.
| | No Retreat | Contrary to popular belief, Ryldas’ refusal to back down from a fight has nothing to do with honor. The way he sees it is this: if he backs down from one fight, he might as well back down from EVERY fight. To him, backing off is a sign of weakness.
Background Ryldas only escaped slavery because he fought back against his “masters” and “mistresses”, and he hasn’t backed down from a fight since.
| | Reaction Penalty | People tend to not like Ryldas from the moment they meet him. Maybe it’s the scars on his face, the smell of booze upon his breath, or his complete lack of interest in anything that doesn’t personally concern him. Whatever it is that sets people off around him, he figures it’s no big loss if he doesn’t make any friends in the end. After all, if he doesn’t have any friends, then he can’t be held responsible for getting someone else killed or in trouble. Right?
| | Reckless | Other than water, there isn’t a single thing that Ryldas fears. Oh, there are plenty of things that he hates - but he doesn’t FEAR them. Of course, while this means he isn’t going to panic in a bad situation, this also means that he’ll probably die doing something stupid at some point in the future.
| | Stubborn | If you think you can outlast Ryldas following a disagreement, you’re going to be waiting a VERY long time. He’s not one for changing his mind once he makes a decision, and pissing him off will only make him decide HARDER. | [/tab] [tab=Everything Else]| Languages |
