Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eva of Sirrion" data-source="post: 3153069" data-attributes="member: 26520">After some consideration I decided to redo Myran's concept, reworking her as a stright-up cleric.Background: For those scions of the dragonmarked houses who are the younger members of the immediate family, some mundane kooshy life usually is their lot, and for Myran d'Medani, the thridborn in her family, that rule bore true as she was sent to a Sanctum of the Sovereign Host near the border between Cyre and Karrnath from an early age.  Most highborn whelps consigned to study at a temple would chafe at all the restrictions, but Myran, sharp of mind and wit, delved deeply into the old books and ancient teachings of the Host.  She found the points that stress altruism and respect for life to be of interest and indeed vital, considering the war raging around the land.  She also found the lore of the fires of the forge of Onatar to be insightful, in that one who uses the flame holds great power, but it must be used with great care and cautiousness.Whereas most dragonmark scions eagerly leave Sanctums as they reach maturity, Myran stayed and took her vows as a priestess of the Host, taking on the powers of fire and good to power the divine magics that she would use.  The Medani elders initially balked at this decision, but Myran personally helped the priests of the Sanctum see that this would be convienient for both family and church, with the church gaining a dedicated resident protector, and the family gaining a valuable tie with the local Sanctum.  After much consideration, the family agreed.Myran had been visiting family in Breland (even with the war, Medani could more or less travel as they like with help from their relatives, when the Day of Mourning hit.  Like all of Cyre, Myran was devastated when she heard the news.  She scrambled back to near what had already been dubbed the Mournland to lend what aid she could, and managed to successfully petition some of the local Medani clan to help keep the survivors safe.  It was in Vathirond that Myran met several soldiers led by Geran, and traveled with them to New Cyre.  Despite her best efforts she could not save the poor soldier in Geran's company, a fault she has yet to forgive herself about.Primary Role: Myran is a cleric of the Sovereign Host.  As a wielder of the power of the good domain she is well prepared with an efficient mix of spells useable against evil forces.  With the fire domain, she has a small amount of offensive power and power to command fire and dissuade water creatures.Quirks: Myran is haunted by the scenes she witnessed as she aided survivors from the Mournland, particularly having to watch the deterioration of Geran's comrade.  She feels it her fault she couldn't aid him, but she doesn't understand the titanic task it would've been to bring him back.  Still, she feels as though she let Geran down and will travel with him so long as she must in order to gain his forgiveness (or until she can forgive herself, a day which might never come). Still, she doesn't let her inner demons keep her from her duties.  As a cleric of the Host, Myran keeps a sense of optimism and hope amidst whatever may come her way.  Only Geran truly knows the kind of emotional turmoil she goes through each day.Distinguishing abilities: Myran's primary strength is her divine spellcasting and the variety of spells she can cast. Her domains provide her some potent spells which she won't hesitate to utilize in a pressure situation.  Her power over fire and water creatures may also prove very potent.</blockquote>
