Perhaps make him unwilling to engage in battle unless direly threatened, as harming someone is against his beliefs of "love all", or because he is unwilling to cause harm or loss of beauty to another.I play a priestess of Sune (from the Forgotten Realms, the goddess of Love and Beauty). I generally play her as being unwilling to cause permanent harm to another. She tends to use damaging spells only against monsters such as undead, constructs, or demons, and charm spells against others (never underestimate the force of a charm spell - remember, most things have bad Will saves! And at higher levels, you get things like Dominate). She also refuses to use "ugly" spells (ones that cause an unpleasant visual effect, like Horrid Wilting). She tends to be kind and diplomatic to everyone, even though in many cases she needn't. I don't know about the goddess Aymara, but Sune preaches that "beauty is more than skin-deep" and that beauty should be shown in your personality and dealings with others, as well as love.Now, that's not to say that you couldn't play a hedonist, or a devotee of chivalrous romance, or even an snob.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  My character quite often tells her companions how "quaint" and "rustic" the inn they are staying at is, or how their campsite is, etc. (And believe me, the other PCs can sense the sarcasm hidden under the heavy, thick layer of diplomacy).   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
