Lysandre's Stats (as of lv8)

## Player-written Backstory

He comes from a very conservative town with a very high population of black market dealers, due to its relative isolation and lack of attention.

One of which was his father, who actually had stake in the market, running his own under the counter operation which he would make his son, Lucalion (Later Lysandre) run illegal scams for (giving him his rogueish background) And he also had a brother, but his brother ended up awaying to Creston to join the war efforts as a full-bred soldier. (Whether he perishes or not is up to dm.

They also had a mother, once, who was the only one he really got away with, but she actually ended up dying early in his life from an illness that would later be determined as a byproduct of their father's illegal substance. He wore protection for dealing with it, but didn't know that it clung on invisibly and passed itself airbourne through contact.

His mother's name was Dahlia, named after a flower, which is where he chose his new name from (a derivative spin of Lavender). His brother's name (is/was) Garlyn, and his father's name is Rhonadyn. They all have naturally very dark hair, like that of a raven. Before he forsook his name and dyed his hair red in honor of his mother.

Garlyn leaving is what gave Lys the ray of hope that he might ACTUALLLY be able to escape and wasn't destined to be stuck there. He snuck into his father's tent while he was away and looked through his merchant records where he found the info about a supply ship carrying a "shipment" heading out to Torkel and that's when he snuck on and stowed away.

Ly stowed away on a ship from Shinf to go attend Bard College in Torkel, which would then lead to him dropping out partway through after hearing about the war in Valhurst, making him and his humanitarian heart wish to travel in an attempt to aid in the war efforts, playing songs to help with recovery; frequenting taverns with tales of war and heroism; and Doing anything he could besides be on the front lines (due to his fear of conflict).

And he would do so by taking all of his saved up money from his years of playing around town while in college and spend it all renting out a protected caravan through a LONG (but defended) carriage trip through Wynne, and then Torvas, stopping in towns to play, as he does.

When he reaches Torvas he finds that no one actually really wants him around, surprisingly. All the war men feel the actual need for is alcohol, first aid, and women. He scoffs at their attitudes and huffs after being confused for a woman himself a few times, causing him to begin to question his gender identity (where he is now gender fluid) He decides to adopt a fake name and instead use his rogue-like sly upbringing to attempt to gather some intel on anywhere he could actually make himself or earn some money. He hears of a lost treasure out in the desert of Redwyn, but discounts it as nothing but legend and looks further. But all he hears about is gross over-sharing stories about other soldiers' "encounters".

With this he decides to stick around in Torvas and bide his time, attempting to stay and earn some money back, so he can leave this town and make his way west through Redwyn, maybe see about investigating this treasure and selling it off to a collector for a high price so he can afford a trip back up to Torkel and finish Bard College and fully graduate into a traveling musician. But when he meets the new party that had JUST lost a couple of party members, were looking for consoling, AND were headed west to Redwyn? He saw sacks of gold in his eyes and he immediately attempted to sweet talk his way into their crew, hitching along into the desert. But this is where he really starts to question himself and his identity- Being in battle, being controlled/posessed, taking on a false name/identity as a woman for undercover work finding themself to be nonbinary. That's where we leave Lys. And where their story will continue.

```
Note from Micah: I COULD go into more detail about Lucalion arriving in Torkel, then dying his hair, trying to blend in on the streets, working amongst the port with a fishing/packing job for a few months before he learns about bard college, buys his first instrument from a pawn shop, quickly becomes a musical idol at his job, before being pressured to apply to the college, being denied before getting in after the macho dockmen pressure the dean, BUUUUUT I'll be the bigger person and let him [Alex] beat me via wordcount.
