He is usually the first one to be noticed in a crowd due to his huge stature and odd appearance. Even in his homeland his blue fur and white markings is considered strange. They are often associated with ill omen and a sign of disaster. [h3]Personality:[/h3]Kind and amiable, Everheart is a fiercely loyal and protective companion. Slow to trust but once he does he will do anything for that person. It is in his nature to always put others over his own. [h3]Class/Skills[/h3]A Oathbreaker paladin with powerful necromantic magic. His magic may be powerful but it is without its downsides. They can only be used under specific circumstances with the right factors and components. He is also inflicted with the same effect of any spell he cast, though, to a lesser extent. For example, if he uses inflict wound he will feel pain, and using Hellish rebuke will cause his casting hand to catch aflame and so on. This downside allowed his magic to reach unimaginable heights and powers but that also scale with how much of the spell’s effect(s) he feels. Without his magic, he is a train and seasoned fighter capable of using all forms of weapons but is extremely skilled with the long sword. Power and nimble, he is a strong opponent but faces many problems due to an event from his past. He has episodes of spontaneous pain and extreme exhaustion. This only lasts a few moments but can happen at any time. He also swore to never raise a sword to anyone without ill intentions. Even without a sword, his hand to hand compact skills are on-par with a monk. His claws also allow him to be deadly without a weapon but he only uses them for self-defense. [h3]Equipment:[/h3][b]Avarice and Wrath:[/b] Two long words named after a pair of demons that he defeated while in the order. They are not the most durable, nor are they the sharpest but they were the gift from his late adopted father which is why he prefers to fight with them. [b]Plate mail:[/b] Standard armor for a paladin with a few modifications to allow for faster movement and agility. [b]Potion maker Kit:[/b] a satchel of herbs that are used to make all forms of potions and ointments. He tries his best to keep it stocked and ready for use. At most he can make a total of 12 potions. [b]Traveler’s Supplies:[/b] backpack, clothes, rations, rope, bandages, waterskin, and matches. Also in his arsenal, are a slew of various contraptions for dealing with fiends and Fae alike. Silver powder, stakes, gold dust, holy water, and various form of flasks and bombs. [h3]History:[/h3]He was born in the land of Krata where his parents sold him into slavery due to his unique coloring. For nearly 2 decades he worked as a slave for various masters all over Toril. Eventually, he made his way to the sword coast where a Crusade of Paladins cane and liberated him and his fellow slaves. Being almost a continent away from his homeland he chose to join the paladins that rescued him. For years, he trained in the way of the sword, and eventually, he took an oath. [i]I am the sword in the darkness I am the watcher on the walls I am the fire the burns against the cold the light brings the dawn The horns that wake the sleeper The shield that guards the realm of man I pledge my life for this night and all the nights to come. [/i] With his oath, he swore to protect mortal kind from any threats may it be gods or primordial. This was his new calling where he quickly rose through the ranks and eventually formed a crusade of his own. They were fierce, powerful, and good at what they did. At the height of their powers they took on a nameless demon that terrorized a small city. They fell for a trap placed by the demons and to save his comrades, Everheart broke his oath. He made a deal with the demon to allow it to use his body as a vessel. Unknown to the demons, his will as strong and he was able to fight the demon for control. For now, he has won, but only a matter of time before demon break free and take full control. Until then, Everheart is a wandering knight helping anyone he could while trying to rid himself of the demon that plagued him. [/center][/hider]
