Description:
Dederic’s father Lance is 6’ 4”, a mountain of chiseled muscle and of pale complexion with dirty blonde hair. His mother Sadira is 5’ 2”, built like the Fey with raven black hair that falls to her waist and olive colored skin. His two twin brothers (two years younger) are 6’ 6” and built even larger than his father; they also have pale skin and dirty blonde hair. Dederic is 5’ 6”, with long dark hair like is mother, skin slightly lighter and a thin, very wiry build. There is no mistaking that he is his mother’s child.
He wears his hair most often in a single braid. He also sports a neat goatee and mustache. His eyes are a dark brown. His most remarkable feature however is his right hand, his literal Black Hand. Starting half way down his right forearm his skin begins to darken. By the point that it reaches his wrist it is pitch black. It even extends to the skin beneath his fingernails. His nails are clear.
Dederic makes a point of always wearing shirts that have embroidery on them. He is also noted for the fact that his attire, in fact all of his possessions, are always in good repair.
Personal History:
Dederic was born into a family of protectors. Both his father and mother are members of the City Guard. His mother is a member of the Arcane Auxiliary. He was raised to worship the god of Justice and to believe that all people deserve it. His family supports his desire to see the world and adventure. Both his parents were briefly adventurers themselves; it is how they met. His two younger twin brothers are also members of the City Guard. They often volunteer for prisoner escort duty so that they can travel a bit. Dederic just wants to travel a good deal farther. His family hopes that he someday “retires” from adventuring and joins the family business of protecting their city.
Dederic is an urban youth, a city boy. Outdoors to Dederic means the nearby park.
Goals:
Dederic wants to explore the full reaches of what it means to wield magic. He tends to enjoy the more “raw” sort of spells. He enjoys the destructive aspect of magic. But he realizes that collateral damage must be kept to a minimum. So he often uses a Cold spell to limit harm to other’s property. He very much wants to be a hero. To right wrongs, save the day and reap the rewards therein…
