**Relys**, is a profound astronomer and scholar, as well as an **adventurer** in **the** **Party**. A warm and inquisitive man, despite his appearance. He has spent the early part of his twenties journeying through the world, learning all he can about the stars and worlds beyond his own. Intrigued by the mysteries of the world and the prophecies fortold in times gone by, he seeks to find truth in this matter and learn all he can to help those destined to stop them.

## Description

Relys looks like a fairly common black dragonborn, his build is tall and unassuming, standing at 6'8". A harmless figure at first glance, until your eyes stare a little too long. While his scales are black, as one would expect, looking at them is like looking into the daunting vastness of night and a lifeless, eternal void.

Hair of a similar frigid void wisps around the back of his head, tied with a bright constellation of stars into a small bun. His eyes contrast his indifferent body, they burn a bright fiery white, like a star bring warmth to his otherwise void-like features.

Looking closer one notices a similar warmth coming from under the black robe he wraps around himself, tattoos dot his skin, forming bonds and patterns like the arrays of stars in the night sky.

They sweep over most of his body, from his fingetrips to the base of his neck. Some are complete and glow with arcane radiance, some are more dull and missing vital pieces. Notably a spellbook is rarely seen in his presence.

A scale of starlight hangs around his neck, a treasure from home that he will often fiddle with should he begin to feel uncomfortable.

To those who do not know him Relys is often compared to the void he so adamantly strudies, cold and distant. He has very little time for those who neither respect him nor respect his morals and ideals. Many a philosophical discussion has ended in a cold, wit-fueled remark. Also a bookworm and a scholar Relys typically can keep his composure through most conversations, but should he be angered he will use the full arsenal of his mind to make them sorry, or he may just pretend he doesn't know the language.

Above all though Relys was taught from a young age how to act properly, he is well mannered and well read. He likes to make a good first impression and often will regard new companions with awe and respect unless they prove they are not deserved of such things. He is curious of the world and the secrets it holds, as well as the worlds beyond. Should he not be exploring he will very likely be found in a library doing research. A particular interest in the taboo, elder and void often require a more delicate approach to researching, something Relys knows how to maneuver very well, after all he grew up around hierarchies and bureaucracies. Once his research is done he often enjoys bouncing his findings and ideas due to them off someone of a similar mind..

This bookish nature translates well to battle, where Relys prefers to use his arcane abilities and meticulous planning to control the battlefield. His research and interest in prophecy and fate has allowed him the ability to spin the threads of fate in his favour occasionally. While he recognises instict and improvisation is needed in battle, he often resorts on this ability to keep things flowing to the plans or traps he has set.

Being so far from home has left Relys wary, however. Unsure how to tell friend from foe in these strange cultures he will often have a backup plan ready for if someone should betray him. Being from so far away, he also has customs that are often strange to those around him. He is happy to educate those of his customs should they ask, just as he is curious about the customs of those he now finds himself travelling with.
