[QUOTE="Jalon Odessa, post: 131097, member: 2189"] Ubaar, re: Jalon the racist. It's not so much that Jalon supports racial stereotyping, but rather that his upbringing does. Being the son of a wealthy merchant family, Jalon lead a very secluded, sheltered life and tended to see very little of the 'real world' (This has all changed since becoming a mighty warrior in the service of Tyr, however). So although the doctrine of his church is that all should be judged exclusively on their actions, rather than their race, and Jalon believes this to the utmost, that doesn't mean he won't be uncomfortable in unfamiliar circumstances. Ubaar is the first person of orcish descent Jalon's met in his life, and although he'd never overtly criticise Ubaar for his heritage his manner of adressing Ubaar was a little less than polite earlier in the adventure - simply because he assumed that Ubaar was something of a savage. Now that he's seen that this isn't (entirely :p) the case, he'll be alot more sensative towards the issue of Ubaar's background. As for the other members of the party - Jalon considers Kytess to be a great warrior and tactician, but also to be far too cold towards others, and also a little brash. He can see that although she's young she has seen much suffering in her life, and for this reason tends to be a little protective of her. Given her age and stature, Jalon sees her as his ward, and would like to guide her towards the path of Tyr to help in overcoming her demons. Taz is the jack-of-all trades of the group - helpful in combat with her magic (colour spray!) and she seems well-adapted to guiding the party through the dungeon. Given that Taz has been nothing short of polite and courteous towards the rest of the party, Jalon will tend to reciprocate, often addressing her as 'm'lady' or a similar archaic title. Jalon views Ivellios as an undisciplined loner, and would like to pull him into line more often than he does. Maybe if Ivellios could shut his mouth for a moment the party would be alot more cohesive. He also, however, recognises Ivellios outstanding abilities in combat - perhaps this new-found devotion to Corellon will help him to focus his energies a little better? Sollir is still in Jalon's bad-books after the egg incident. In Murhid Jalon can see a great wisdom and a philisophical mind. He respects Murhid's devotion and discipline and also his tactical cunning. Given that he views himself as the party leader, Jalon considers Murhid to be his right-hand man, and would gladly heed his council if only he'd speak up more often. Back to Ubaar, Jalon admires his enthusiasm and battle-prowess, and also his devotion to his god. He also believes that Ubaar, like Ivellios, is too headstrong and hasty, and should consider the party as a whole more often. With a little more discipline Ubaar could focus his already powerful combat abilities to an even greater level. [/QUOTE]
