No matter what society they are born into, they are met with envy or disgust... sometimes at the hands of their own parents.Such was the case with kyras, a human mother and an elven father.. he was lucky enough to never meet the man that brought about his birth; or at least that is what he always told himself.His mother was at best negligent of him, there were many times he was forced to steal to feed himself as a child. It was no wonder that as he grew up he was drawn to the bad crowd, it felt as if he finally had a family with them.A simple group of cat purses and other ne'er-do-wells. As a group they would steal and play pranks on traveler and townsfolk alike. But one day they bit off more then they could chew.<br/><br/>the day his life changed is when an Elven Paladin of the Dawnflower was traveling back through the town on his way back from a missionary quest to spread the word of the Healing light. the small group of boys that fancied themselves a thieves guild bit off more then they could chew when they tried to steal from him. in the short lived chaos that followed the paladin was only able to get his hands on Kyras(him being the smallest at the time). Kyras screamed for help from those he thought of as family, but none of them answered his calls. He felt betrayed and heart broken. When questioned about where his parents were Kyras's only response was "I don't have any" a statement while not factually true certainly felt like it at times. After a brief moment of pause the man made his decision, he brought the boy along with him... no one ever came to find him, after all his own mother did not even care for him.<br/><br/>So it was the kyras's new home was a simple Church of the Everlight along a rarely traveled road a few miles away from a town that never cared about him. The first few month's he tried to make the priests and clerics life as hard as he could, doing his best to get them mad so they would kick him out. try as he might they would only scold him and set to fixing his acts (or make him do it as part of his punishment.). He was baffled by this response, he had never been treated like this.. not even by his own mother. Slowly but surely he came to understand the compassion of the church folk. He felt protected, he was well fed, and he felt loved for the first time.<br/><br/>As the years flew by, the trees and forests that surrounded the church bore witness to a wonderful change in the chaotic youth that had come to the church so long ago.the boy had taken to the word of Sarenrae, he read aloud from The Birth of Light and Truth during the service. When the paladin was there the two would talk, he would be trained in the use of weapons.. most importantly the weapon of the Dawnflower.. the scimitar.To kyras, the paladin became like a true father. it was not till he was an adult and the elven paladin came back from a pilgrimage with grave wounds that the clerics could not heal that he found out the truth, the paladin was his true father. On his deathbed the man explained that he had been in love with his mother before he received the divine call to become a Paladin of Sarenrae.. and he was unaware of the fact he had a son until he saw Kyras in that square so very long ago.He begged forgiveness, which kyras gladly gave. His father was sent to the afterlife in service to the Healing light without any regrets. It was not long after that Kyras became an ordained cleric of the Church of Sarenrae, and left on his own mission to make this world safer.. seeking out like minded individuals to share in his adventures.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Updated Spending report</div><div class="spoiler_body">Headband of mental Prowess +2 (Wis, Cha) (10,000 gp)(core rule book)<br/>+1 Scimitar (2365 gold)<br/>+1 Breastplate (1350 gold)<br/>+1 heavy steel shield ( 1170 gold)<br/>javelin (3) (3gold) <br/>Handy Haversack (2000 gp)<br/>Cloak of resistance +1 (1000 gp)<br/>Holy symbol, silver (25 gp)<br/>Clothing, Cleric's Vestments ( Free, a 1st level character starts with one set of clothing valued at 10gp or less)<br/>Clothing, Explorer's Outfit (10 gp)<br/>Bedroll (1 silver)<br/>Blanket, Winter (5 silver)<br/>Caltrops (3 bags) (3 gp)<br/>Crowbar (2 gp)<br/>Flint and steel (1gp)<br/>Rations, Trail 10 days (5 gp)<br/>Grappling hook (1 gp)<br/>Kit, Healer's (50 gp)<br/>Pouch, Spell Component (5 gp)<br/>Pouch, belt (1 gp)<br/>Holy water 2 flasks (50 gp)<br/>Rope, silk(50 ft) (10 gp)<br/>Waterskin (1 gp)<br/>Cure light wounds (potion) (150 gp)<br/>ring of Protection +1 (2000 gp)<br/><br/>797 gp 7s remaining</div></div>
