Name: Caelis Wolff
Age: 29
Race: Human
Appearance:
Personality: Practicality, that is the word that can best describe Caelis in terms of how he thinks. He isn't the one to make friendly small talk for no reason. That said he isn't a particularly mean or cruel person, but on the flip side he isn't someone who has never told a lie in his life for some sort of benefit. So, don't expect him to be the paragon of good or evil. He is just looking out for his own best interests and sometimes it collides with acts that people can consider to be morally right or wrong.
Abilities: There is no one skill that Caelis is particularly very skilled at. As a merchant, one has to be proficient in many areas. Thus, Caelis is a very capable negotiator and businessman. His years of travelling has exposed him to numerous languages that he picked up along the way... not to mention he had to learn how to handle a sword while on the road as even during times of peace there are desperate people who are willing to kill for profit. Thus, Caelis is capable in many regards, but one skill does not really stand out. However, he does have some innate magical abilities that Caelis isn't aware of.
Salvaged Item: His personal cutlass that he had commissioned for this expedition. Although it had been intended to serve more of a ceremonial/decorative purpose, it is a well forged blade.
History: Caelis was born to a single father. He had never met his mother, or at least has no memories of her. No, all he remembers is being raised by his father who never told him much of his mother. However, many of the adults in the small town that Caelis was born in gossiped around him whenever they saw him. Mentioning "Demon-spawn", "Half-Incubus", or "Succubus' bastard" among other curses, the towns people seemed to abhor him. When he brought it up to his father, he told him to ignore them and that they were going to leave the town soon anyways. The towns people were just spiteful and his father assured Caelis that his mother did love him very much.
His father was a merchant as well who had temporarily stopped travelling to raise Caelis. At 12, he was old enough to start to learn his father's trade. Thus, he traveled with his father and amassed wealth. It seemed that Caelis was just a natural born, charismatic merchant as he did very well. Hence, they expanded their business and started their own company after several years. The Wolff Trading Company grew into naval expeditions as well and established itself as a major trading company. It took a lot of work, but the Wolff Trading Co. was eventually chartered to supply, and help with the newest expedition to the new world. In return, the company would receive a share of the exotic goods that the 2nd expedition would bring back. Thus, Caelis joined the expedition as a representative of the company to ensure that everything would go smoothly.
Nation of Origin: The Republic of Lothringa
Nation Lore: The Republic of Lothringa is a merchant republic where the wealthy hold much sway over the nation. However, due to its nature as a Republic, Lothringa welcomes people of all races but is primarily occupied by humans. Humans hold the majority of the council seats, 7/10. With 2 Dwarven and 1 Elven representative taking the other seats, the Republic is known for being a economic hub where goods from all reaches of the known world pass through. However, racism and religious zeal is ever present in the Republic. Few people trust the orcs and even fewer trust those of occult or dark origins such as the dark elves or minor demon spawn. Historically, the Republic of Lothringa used to be a strong hold of the Faith and Crusaders who launched expeditions against the historical enemies of god and man. However, the long centuries of peace and its ideal location made the Crusader state turn into a merchant republic.
Other: He enjoys good food. So much so that he learned how to cook and might be able to make some of the best tasting food people have had. That is if he had proper ingredients.
