Message: <blockquote data-quote="Warpiglet" data-source="post: 7312177" data-attributes="member: 6689161">A little redundant but in more game terms....Thanic, Baron of Vale “Baron Vale”--Thanic “Baron Vale” was born to the lord and lady of Vale, his mother being a beautiful elven woman.  He had a beloved sister.--While demonstrating skill in the arts at war and leadership, Thanic also showed some talent for the mystical.  He forged a close friendship with his father’s compatriot and advisor,“Crown” the old wizard.--Uprisings of peasants and threats from outside of the the Barony left it a shell of its former glory.  Their enemies took advantage of their weakness and may have planted the seeds of discord in the beginning.  Thanic’s family were banished or killed. --In long hours of contemplation, Thanic realized the path to redemption lay in the reestablishment of his family’s honor and the acquisition of wealth and power.  Revenge though sweet would not be enough.--Crown was lost in combat.  Ravens often show an affinity for Baron Vale and land on him.  Baron Vale has suggested this is Crown returning for a visit from beyond.  Thanic began trying to communicate with the dead in earnest.  He used his fledgling magic skills in new ways.--A dark shape slowly made itself known to him.  It was humanoid in form, black in color and featureless.  Thanic wanted to believe this was one of his deceased loved ones.  Whatever the case, it made him understand that true power is over life and death.  To control one is to control the other.  To control both is to control one’s worldly destiny.  Thanic became obsessed with learning more about the veil between the two as guided by the dark shape.--Beyond all hope he trusted it was a forbear but he was inexplicably chilled by their meetings.Background: NoblePersonality Trait 1: My favor, once lost, is lost forever.  Time is too short, consequences too serious to trifle with the honorless.Personality Trait 2: My eloquent flattery makes everyone I talk to feel like the most wonderful and important person in the world.  However, if respect is not reciprocated, honor demands satisfaction.Ideal: Honor.  The people and allies are due protection, and I am due respect.Bond: My loyalty to my family and people is unwavering.  In absence of connection with them, I will not rest until I can establish my family name and line anew.  My ambition’s limits have not been tested.Flaw: I may hide a truly scandalous secret that may have ruined my family forever.  Some say that by dabbling in the dark arts I called ruin upon my barony.  It is true that my hubris knows no bounds.Whatever the case, I am utterly convinced of my own decision-making ability and judgement.  Others may know more lore, but none have greater discernment.  I make decisions quickly and my instincts are without equal.  I am blind to my own mistakes in decision-making.“Baron Vale” is not a stranger to conflict or hardship.  Though nobility, he led with the vanguard when possible.  The Baron stands approximately six feet tall and has chin length silver hair that ofen appears wet as if from exertion.  He wears a circlet of iron unless wearing a helmet.  His eyes are a powerfully amber hue.  If angered, it is hard for others to feel entirely comfortable in his presence.  Baron Vale can be charming.  Once rebuffed though, it is as if a veneer has been stripped from him and few wish to remain in his presence (which is described as unsettling).The Baron favors two handed weapons. He wears a helmet with a face plate that is the likeness of a serene face with the top of the helmet seemingly bearing a crown of small daggers.</blockquote>
