Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 2875703" data-attributes="member: 29014">I agree with LordRaven that this Azrael thing most certainly needs to come first before whatever we were doing before--the whole 'world will end' thing is sort of a drop-everything kind of deal <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Here's Jharvym's views on the other characters:Turin--Turin is a staunch ally in battle, and there are few he fought with over the years that Jharvym would rather have at his back, even the githzerai zerth and elan with whom he slew illithids so long ago.  However, Jharvym considers the conflict between Turin's martinet social code and his reckless abandon in battle to border on hypocrisy.  He has no problem with this, however, as long as Turin isn't trying to tell him what to do.  He sees Turin's own personal belief in his code as a strength and the source of the discipline that lets Turin channel his power, much like Jharvym's psionic focus, but Jharvym doesn't try to chide others for being unable to achieve psionic focus.Athear--Jharvym sees a bit of a kindred spirit in Athear, another being that can survive the wear of the ages through cool logic and personal power yet sometimes finds himself consumed by raw emotion.  Of course, Athear's passion for dragons is quite different and much more innocuous than the beast that lurks within Jharvym.Kori--Jharvym looks up to Kori as a stable levelheaded source of calm serenity within a group that otherwise contains many firebrands.  If she will allow him, he often tries to quietly join her as she meditates with her spirits, seeking inner harmony.  She is the group's only female, and Jharvym simultaneously considers the actually-younger but older-looking woman as a wise mother figure and a younger sister who is a bit frail and should be protected from harmAzrim--A sometimes-dangerous curiosity, the dwarf knows quite a bit, but Jharvym considers him far less relevant as a speaker of esoteric knowledge than Kori because of Azrim's absentminded-professor tendency to become lost in crazy hypothetical realms, whereas Kori speaks plainly and insightfully.  Jharvym considers Azrim to be the most dangerous, if not the most powerful, member of the group, himself included, for a brilliant mind brimming with arcane power but lacking the proper discipline is far more of a threat than the beast that lurks within.Damien--Jharvym finds it easy to relate to Damien's feats of arms in the defense of the innocent, much like Turin but without the baggage of the whole 'Knight's Code' thing.  He envies Damien's easy way with others.  When he looks at Damien analytically, he can't see why the other man is able to relate so easily, especially compared to the other members of the group, many of whom seem to be objectively more charismatic than Damien.  Sometimes Jharvym wishes that Damien had a bit more discipline at his disposal, but since he knows that his own discipline is lacking in controlling the wild essence within him, he doesn't complain.Kerin--Jharvym once followed the gods, but they abandoned him and his family over a century ago, and he has forsaken them.  He has believed only in himself for a long time, at least until meeting Kori and becoming somewhat impressed with her spirits.  Regardless, he does not fault those who walk the path of the gods, but neither is he ever completely at peace with clerics once they learn of his atheistic tendencies, as they are not often willing to grant him the same.  Even so, Jharvym finds that he agrees with Kerin's actions more often than he would expect for a holy man.  However, he often Kerin's sententious moralising a bit obnoxious.</blockquote>
