Marlion

* Level 10

## **Intro**

This intro is recommended to be written from either a first person or story-teller perspective. It should be italicized and give a great overview of the character's wants, needs, and reason they're here today. Pretty much a basic 2 or 3 paragraph backstory!

## **Description**

This section is where you will describe the intricate details on the look and personality of your character!

### **Appearance**

This is the detailed description of your character's look!

### **Personality**

This one should be a little longer than the appearance section. It should have the detailed way in which your character acts, as well as the flaws and traits of this character.

## **Biography**

This page will be the one in which the detail of your character's background will be talked about

### **Background**

The majority of his life had been spent traveling around the feywild and the feydark, constantly on the move. His childhood has remained a mystery for his whole life. He had never known his birth family, and never really cared to find out so long as he had the family that he traveled with. He was raised not by any particular group, but a traveling and ever growing family of all sorts of different people. It was the belief of these people that in a world of kill or be killed, it is much more preferable to wander as a people. This company of people constantly changed as it traveled around. There were people who would stay in it for as long as they were alive, and then there were those who would depart as soon as they felt they no longer needed the company. Regardless of whether or not they would leave, each person in the group were treated as close friends. As long as you provided what you could for the company, you would be well fed and protected until you didn't need it anymore. This group was mainly for the people who did not want to ally themselves with the Seelie or the Unseelie court.

Marlion was picked up by this company at an early point in his childhood. Since then, he was cared for by these people, and had learned some things that have lasted him his whole life. Although not the origin of the company, there was one person that had taught Marlion how to survive, as well as a rite passed through legacy, soul channeling. This person is a morrik woman who went by the name of Phinis Thalone. Phinis was a well versed martial combatant, as well the inheritor of a rite passed to her by her previous master. She taught Marlion everything he needed to know about survival as well as the legacy that she followed.

Dating back to the start of this legacy, the first soulchannel had inherited the soul of a mirage dragon. They had come into contact with said dragon when it was being attacked by several creatures known as fomorians, who were attempting to kill and steal the power of this dragon. The first soulchannel had attempted to save the dragon by helping it fight the fomorians. The fomorians would be defeated, but with the cost of the mirage dragon being wounded beyond fixing. In sight of its agony, the man had asked to put the dragon out of its misery. The dragon agreed, and when the soulchannel had plunged his blade into the dragon's scales, its soul was absorbed into the blade. With the wielder of the blade inheriting some power of the mirage dragon, it was made to be passed down from master to apprentice in an effort to keep the soul of the dragon alive.

Marlion has always viewed Phinis as not just a master, but also as a close friend, and the only motherly figure he's ever known. It took Marlion a while to learn how to use a blade properly, as well as how to properly channel the power of the soul. Another person that Marlion had grown close to was someone who had joined the company during his early teenage years. A younger goblin man named Mogos. With the mischievous nature of the mirage dragon, and the nature of the deity Mogos followed, The two became thick as thieves (sometimes literally). Mogos told Marlion that he had followed a being known as The Traveler, also known by the name of Vula. With the stories that Mogos told of The Traveler, and the shenanigans the two had gone through, Marlion took a keen interest in this being. Whenever the 2 would spread mischief where they went, it would be in the name of Vula, because it made it all the more hilarious for both of them. The point in which everything would go south would have happened not too long past. The company has gone through the feydark before, and although they ran into trouble it was never super detrimental. One previous trip through the feydark however was the one that would break the company apart.

At a stopping point, the company was attacked by the same creatures who killed the mirage dragon, Fomorians. With too many to fend off, the people in the company were either killed or disfigured by the cursed eyes of these creatures. Mogos had already departed from the company before this point, Marlion and Phinis however had to stay and fight these monsters. With little to no options left and too many to fight, Phinis had taken the soul that was in her blade and embedded it into Marlions glaive. She had told Marlion to escape and continue on the legacy whether or not she would return. The last sight that Marlion had of Phinis was her continuing to fight off the remaining fomorians whilst he escaped. Whether or not she is alive, he doesn't have the knowledge. A long measure of time would go by while Marlion would look for someone to take as an apprentice as well as keeping a close tie to the ways of Vula. For now he remains just a wanderer.

### **(Party name)**

Here is where your campaign may split off in format from one another. There is two options of formatting here. Either you can make one small section named your party, such as "Stormbringers" which talks about your current adventures, or, you may instead split things off from arc to arc. I will give an example in the format of The Wayfaring Strangers.

### **The Tomb of Annihilation**

This will be talking about the party's adventures in Chult

### **The Convergence**

This is where (if applicable) you would talk about the convergence taking place and the Raven Bloodspire arc. This would also encompass things such as the Tournament of Champions, so it may run a bit long.

This is all examples of how you would split things up by important arcs for the characters.

## Relationships

This is the section in which you would add the important relationships with party members/NPCs. I will use Ulysses Jefferson Bramble as the example for this.

### **Aster Fortall**

He loooove her. Also this would speak on the details of their relationship over time and how it grew.

## **Notable Items**

This is the section in which items for this character will be noted. I will use Barrik Tremor as the example for this.

## **Quotations**

Here is where you would put memorable or very important quotes from your character. I will use Va-Aurel as an example of formatting:

* "The living are fragile." (*Va-Aurel speaking on mortal humans and their existence in the world)*

## **Trivia**

Here is where you will put fun trivia information! Here is some examples of various things!

* Barrik Tremor has made the most offerings in resurrection rituals than any other character in Xylna.
* Takarr is, throughout every game, the shortest player character to exist in Xylna.

Things such as these for your characters are real neat!

Make sure the page is properly tagged and you're all set!
