Alyson

**Alyson** is a human variant sorcerer PC in "The Shattered Lands" DnD Campaign.

### Appearance

Alyson, standing at 5'11", wears a black hooded robe, a white scarf hiding her lower face, and a white mask covering the rest of her face. The mask she wears displays its apparent use but is strangely kept clean. Her eyes are not visible at all, yet she is capable of noticing anything and everything around her. One can tell Alyson has had quite a bit of experience in the field of combat while having the juxtaposition of a warm welcoming stature.

### Abilities

Alyson, being keen in her magic abilities, has the ability to cast spells, illusions, and perform many other mysterious things. Being a human variant, there is nothing particular to note in regard to abilities.

### Allies

* Belos - Adventuring together is what Aly and Belos do best and have always seemed to have done. Constantly moving towards a goal and doing what they can to help others, this duo is near unstoppable. It is best to treat Belos kindly as Aly is not fond of those who mistreat others, especially her companion. Aly in most occasions will speak on Belos' behalf, yet will always ask for confirmation from him when making extremely important decisions. Belos is and always will be accompanied by Aly.
* B.O.B. - A kind, local bartender at the Cats Paw inn. He is very fond of bacon.
* Cain - With the appearance of a pirate, he is quite mysterious but has a hefty trusty beard.
* Squirrel Rustle - Squirrel was struggling in a local tavern, drinking too much and incapable of saying "stop." Aly chipped in to help, gaining the kenku's trust. For the kenku, this was extremely emotional and helpful, and he has pledged his servitude to Aly and Belos during their adventures. He will be protected just as Belos is protected.

### Behavior

Alyson is typically quiet but firm in what she says. Her voice is trustworthy, and her stature is intimidating yet comforting. She is kind and, in most cases, will do the right thing when granted with a choice. She is protective and usually willing to help others to an extent. To those who have always known her, she is fierce and terrifying when angry. Being a skilled magic warrior who follows no rules of magic, she rarely shows mercy when her or Belos face wrongdoing. She is also known as kind, loving, caring, and generous. Simply put, do not get on her bad side. To the newcomers, she is quiet, warm, welcoming, and seems to know what she is talking about when she speaks.

Aly does not say much, but when she speaks you feel obligated to listen. It must be the mask and firmness in her voice that screams of her experience in this world. Although her eyes are forever hidden, one can only imagine what she has seen. What pushes her over the edge? Do we really want to see what is under that mask and those robes? One may never know. Let us pray to the gods that we shall never find out...
