Message: <blockquote data-quote="Azzy" data-source="post: 7319629" data-attributes="member: 6563">I should probably add my last character's back story...He was a fire genasi eldritch knight with the noble background.Kaiden is the youngest son of Baron Aldair Novorast III. Born to an otherwise human family, Kaiden is a fire genasi (said to either be due to some remote ancestor having a dalliance with a fire spirit, or a remote ancestor being born near a great eruption of a volaco). Despite inheriting this ancestral connection to the element of fire, he is perfectly accepted by his family. The Novorast barony is a small affair that comprises only a handful of villages and hamlets in the southwestern area of Nyrond. Well respected by the commoners of the barony, Baron Aldair works closely with the people of his lands, and is known to be a fair and generous protector. He has a wife, three sons, and two daughters. Growing up in the relatively peaceful times after the Greyhawk Wars where the only threat was the occasion bandits and humanoids, Kaiden has lived a peaceful and boringly (in his opinion) sedate life in the rural countryside. However, he devoured the stories of how his father fought valiantly in the Wars, and the heroics of his other forebears since a young age, and has embraced an idealized (if greatly naïve) view heroism and knightly comportment. Added to this, his eldest brother Brennen, whom Kaiden views as a paragon of these ideals, has taken up the knighthood and actively protects the barony from banditry and other threats. Kaiden wishes to follow in his father's and older brothers' footsteps, becoming a knight with the goal of becoming a hero in his own right, and being worthy of his people's and his family's respect. However, Kaiden has become impatient and bored with his complacent country life, and has decided that, rather than wait for great things to come to him, he will take matters into his own hands and forge his own destiny. To help ensure Kaiden doesn't find himself too deeply in trouble, Baron Aldair has sent one of Kaiden's friends, Ellis (a young noble), to be Kaiden's squire as well as two retainers (Brock and Ash) to keep watch over his foolish son.</blockquote>
