They have to be a beacon. They should live life fully and delight and bring life, love, and happiness. They can live life large. They'll be the paladin to sing a great song in the inn, buy everyone a round of drinks (but not to excess), tell tales of beauty, dance, share jokes, and even indulge in a little romance and roll in the hay (life, love, happiness!) leaving their partner with a smile on their lips and a fond memory of a great night when they and all around them felt truly alive. A night when all were happy, when beauty, song, and love were all, and despair was vanquished. They breathe deep of the sweet air and smile, pause to watch the sunrise in all its glory (encouraging their allies to stop and savour it too) and clap their comrades on the backs with a broad grin and hopes for the day ahead. They are paladins you want to spend time with; they love life and beauty, they shine with it, they are often irrepressibly positive and good-natured, and whether brash and a little bombastic (ala Porthos of the Musketeers or Aquaman from Batman: The Brave and the Bold) or quieter and more relaxed, there's absolutely no mistaking their presence.</p></blockquote><p></p>
