<div class="floatright">(https://i.imgur.com/2p54jJa.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Valerian ir'Wynarn;<strong>Aliases:</strong>Valerian Kordirr<br/><strong>Class:</strong>Bard 3 (College of Swords)<br/><strong>Race:</strong>Human;<strong>Ascendant:</strong>Half-Elf<br/><strong>Alignment:</strong>LN.  Valerian is unfailingly loyal to his family, and having personally experienced their misfortunes, makes it his life's work to ensuring that every day is one step closer to putting the reigns of power in their hands.  As an individual, Valerian has only the most minimal interests in assuming leadership roles, but frequently places himself as the man behind the curtain – disliking the attention an official figure draws, but intent on influencing in matters.<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>A tall, well built individual, Valerian stands just short of six feet.  Dark haired and grey eyed, he has the broad shoulders and narrow waist of a swordsman, and the robust build of a laborer.  Most times, he prefers to dress in various shades of blue, though, most people will remark that no matter what kind of finery he wears, his sword seems more natural to him than does his clothes.<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong><br/>Valerian was born in 977 YK in Cyre in the midst of the Last War.  Conflict and survival was the story of most of his life, having killed his first man at the age of six, and in doing so, losing the chance at childhood.  Narrowly avoiding the disaster that turned Cyre into the Mournland, Valerian followed other members of his clansmen who were heading to Aundair.  Ready to take up the fight anew, only a month later, the new nations of Khorvaire were signing the Treaty of Thronehold, which brought an end to the war in 996 YK.  For Valerian, the war was never truly over; Cyre was a blasted wasteland unavenged, and the Kingdom of Galifar had not been restored.<br/><br/>Since the treaty, Valerian has been insinuating himself in the courts of Aundair, having not cared much for the other nations, seeing them as complicit in the shattering of Galifar (despite the fact that decisions were made the nation's founders, who are now long dead).  Whilst he doesn't see Aundair as completely blameless in the conflict, it is the nation from which his ancestor, Wrogar ir'Wynarn, came from and is biased in that respect.  On account of that same line of history, he despises the nation of Thrane, seeing its founder as the primary instigator for Galifar's dissolution, and the country's present theocratic leanings as a continuation of Thrane ir'Wynarn's policies.<br/><br/>Over the year since the war ended, Valerian began to insinuate himself into the courts of Aundair, using whatever reputation he had garnered to expand the influence of his clan into Aundairian politics and power structure.  Before the extermination of the clan began, he was getting close to infiltrating the floating towers of wizardry in Arcanix, where he hoped to infiltrate the Arcane Congress.<br/><br/><strong>Story Ons:</strong>Cozy camaraderie, flying, outdoor survival, romance<br/><strong>Sexual Ons:</strong>Breeding/impreg, threesomes/foursomes<br/><strong>Offs:</strong>scat, sexual mutilation & torture, watersports<br/><br/><br/><strong>Ability Scores</strong><br/><strong>Str</strong>16,<strong>Dex</strong>14,<strong>Con</strong>12,<strong>Int</strong>10,<strong>Wis</strong>10,<strong>Cha</strong>16<br/><br/><strong>HP:</strong>21 (3d8+3);<strong>AC:</strong>16;<strong>Initiative:</strong>+2;<strong>Speed:</strong>30 ft.<br/><strong>Strong Saves:</strong>Str +5, Dex +4, Cha +5<br/><strong>Skill proficiencies:</strong>Acrobatics +4, Athletics +5, Deception +7, Insight+2, Persuasion +7, Sleight of Hand +4<br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>horn, scale mail, shield<br/>longsword +5 (1d8+3)<em>or</em>shortsword +5 (1d6+3)<br/><br/><br/><strong>Spellcasting</strong><br/><strong>Spell Slots</strong>1st (4), 2nd (2);<strong>Save DC</strong>13;<strong>Attack</strong>+5<br/>Cantrips – dancing lights, vicious mockery<br/>1st – charm person, cure wounds, feather fall, heroism, thunderwave<br/>2nd – heat metal
