## Biography

### Background

Born in the small village of Decan, Ilamin was born to an odd couple. A human blacksmith and a Deva woman whom served under the God Tyr. How a mere mortal was able to win over a being such as she would be a tale better told by Ilamin himself!

His mother, a winged Deva named Vastya was known as a fearsome Paladin of Justice. She was the guardian protector of a small town just a few ways from the Temple of Tyr. His father, a regular law-abiding citizen, blacksmith by trade. Together their union was short lived but sweet, romantic in every sense of the word. But Vastya was bound by her duty to her Lord and left to serve under him. Ilamin was just a boy when she left, but she would still come back during the week of the Harvest, a holiday dedicated to Tyr.

Ilamin had always stood out from the crowd, practically raised by a single father his whole life. As an Aasimar, he was both loved and feared by the town, his pupil-less eyes and strange angelic tattoos always brought tension or nervousness. Many saw him as a blessed being delivered by their Patron God, others an unholy being. Some even dared to assume him to be a demon in disguise, sent to corrupt and shake the faith of all whom basked in his light.

This made Ilamin weary of the world, proceeding life with extreme caution. He had love and support from his parents, but there was always something more yearning in his soul. He wanted to fall in love more than anything, often idolizing his father for winning the heart of a divine being such as his mother. He spent many days at the theater, proclaiming his talents to the town and later the large city of Alalor. It was a bustling city full of life and laughter where a simple merchant could become a king or a farmer a worshiped hero.

One night, Ilamin caught the eyes of the wealthy and powerful young Lord Gideon of the esteemed Castillio Estate. He cherished his angel with riches and praise. But Ilamin was not interested in such a superficial relationship. He wanted romance and that was something Gideon was not interested in. Ilamin rejected the young lord’s advances, causing the arrogant man to take things into his own hands. He placed a pair of cursed bracelets on Ilamins wrists, charming him to fall deeply in love with the first person he saw. He was smitten and naive, truly believing he had won the heart of an honest man, but after moving into his home, Ilamin found himself no more than an exotic slave the Lord could show off at parties and events.

It was the actions of a young servant who saved him, removing the chains and breaking the curse. Now was his chance to make his great escape. Setting the Lord's castle a blaze, the bard fled off into the night, the Lord's men still searching for him.

## Relationships

### Gregory Cronwier

A Human Blacksmith with Orange, scruffy hair. He’s built like an ox, standing around 6ft tall. He’s a giant sweetheart, basically raised Ilamin by himself. He is strong in every way and puts his family first. Gregory is a romantic at heart and managed to romance his way into Vastya’s heart. He builds mostly weapons and armor, but is known for wood working as well. He wanted Ila to go out into the world and discover himself in ways their village did not allow.

### Vastya

A Deva, 7 feet tall and a loyal Paladin to the God of Justice Tyr. With two sets of wings, a divine halo and a third eye, she is able to uphold divine justice for her Lord, but her love for her family will always rival her sense of duty. She is more serious and strict, but there is love and intelligence in her actions. Only able to see her family once a week per year, Vastya keeps them close to her heart wherever she goes carrying hand crafted armor made by her husband and a necklace worn underneath that Ila had carved (poorly) for her. It is said that her third eye can see the truth and that it holds the rays of the sun within.

### Gideon Castillio

A young and powerful Lord. He is a Half Elf, a fighter and a general asshole. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he feels entitled to certain things and has a preference for rare or exotic things. His personal servants and guards are all of extraordinary beauty or exotic features. Ilamin was the first Aasimar he had ever seen and he still wants him for his collection.

### Deidre Orlanna

A gnome with eyes as blue as the sea, she was a servant working at the Castillio estate. She helped break the curse using magic her employers didn’t know she had. She escaped during the fire, helping Ilamin start it. To this day, Ilamin hasn’t seen her nor thanked her for all her help.
