Rowan Tamarax

Once again it would seem. Rowan finds himself once again in
a new construct on a new plane. He feels warm sand between his toes and enjoys
mental peace and privacy for the first time in… how long has it been? Rowan
sniffs the air and catches the scent of an Inn or Tavern just out of sight to
the East. He looks around and finds sand, water, and trees. With a mental shrug
Rowan decides that this is as good of a starting place as any. Maybe this time
he can find order and stay clear of the immortals and their selfish schemes.

Character Name

## Description

Rather large and muscular for a Fae. Tends to change his appearance depending on the situation. When he chooses to extend his Dragonfly wings, they seem inadequate to support his mass.

### Armor

Favors Heavy armor but Rowan can disguise what he is wearing and appear to be in nothing more than light armor.

### Arms

Rarely seen without a large two-handed sword and a bow.

## History

Rowan’s mind has been in the body born to him as well as two
magical constructs. The second construct is what is seen by the inhabitants of
Kullinzios. His was born and raised on the plane of the Tuatha De Dannon. As a
young Fae, he quickly rose in ranks to the position of Sergeant of the Guard in
the Palace of King Bres. He traveled to other planes as a guard for emissaries
and is not unfamiliar with the immortals of several pantheons. Rowan was caught
in the middle of infighting between two principal Tuatha De Dannon powers which
ultimately landed him in Kullinzios

### Skills

Rowan can shift his dragonfly wings in and out of the plane.
While “wearing” the wings he cannot fly but is much lighter and more agile. The
wings make him able to move in heavy armor as if he were wearing light armor.
He has minor magical abilities which include illusions on his armor/clothing
and other minor magic.

### Major Flaw/Flaws:

Cold Iron (unheated/unforged Star Metal) can seriously harm
or kill him. Touching the unforged metal will burn him on contact and a cold
forged weapon penetrating his body would likely cause perma-death (turns to
ash).

### Minor Flaw/Flaws:

Rowan is incapable of knowingly telling a lie; this could be
either a strength or a weakness depending on the situation. Be careful though;
deception is not a lie so you must pay close attention to his words. Rowan is
also still impacted by a destructive relationship in the past (RP secret). This
has already led him to make some unusual and seemingly conflicting choices and
alignments in Kullinzios.

## Personality

His time in the Royal Palace and as a Palace Guard required a
grasp of proper etiquette as well as diplomacy. Generally, Rowan is good
natured, courteous and kind. Duty, honor, and civil order (as defined by those
he views as superior to himself) are also important to him.

### Beliefs

Having worked with and for immortals that some consider
gods, Rowan has become disillusioned with the idea of worshiping anything. He
tends to view the gods as powerful beings that are troublesome, selfish, and
destructive. He respects them because of their power and authority but does not
worship any of them..

### Quirks

Rowan tends to assign titles or names to the folk that he
meets based on how he views them or his first impressions of them. He tends to
use the titles that he has for folk rather than their given name. Rowan favors
milk or cream over alcohol because alcohol has no effect on a Fae while milk
does.

### Relationships

I Phadar, Ennona; (Walking the path, reborn.)  Roslin - Rowan has walked an unlikely path
with the beautiful Snow Elf. They started as fellow seekers of magic and friends.
Over time, their relationship has grown well beyond friendship. They married after the destruction of Rivers Crossing when they moved to the new city of Venusia. Their time in Venusia was pleasant, but short lived. Venusia was lost in the second destruction of the plane that Rowan experienced since he arrived in Kullinzios. Roslin and Rowan moved far to the east after the disaster and oversaw the building of Turtle Cove where they now reside.

Ylva- Rowan’s oldest friend on the plane. They shared a home
at River Bramble for a time but drifted apart after the last calamitous. They remain
good friends though their paths have taken them different directions.

Seyrahel- Rowan has a special fondness for this Fae. He wants
to help her as much as he can an sees her as very vulnerable in this
unforgiving land. Their kindship and tendency to favor the larger Itsi form has
led to a close bond though they often find themselves separated by great
distasnce. Rowan wants Seyrahel to be happy and cared for by someone that will
appreciate her as much as he would.

Aila- One of the first people that Rowan met when he first
settled in Rivers Crossing. She is a close friend and the last alive of a small
group of friends that struggled to survive in camps after the last calamitous.

Anki- Some folk have a love hate relationship. Rowan’s relationship
with Anki would be better described as a hate-hate relationship.

Breeze- Another Itsi that has made an impression on Rowan.
She seems interested in helping Rowan remember his Itsi ways and embrace his
smaller form. This often makes him smile.

Rudolfo (Randy)- The self-styled “handsome fellow” irritates
Rowan more than any other. This may be because Randy kidnapped him and tossed a
poison dagger into his shin. Beyond that, the man is just freaking annoying and
he wears ridiculous-looking white gloves.
