Wrote this in a rush. It’s shorter than my usual fare and a bit of a mess, but I have a pretty solid character in mind and will gladly talk about him in greater detail. He’s a Chaotic Good Human Summoner.
[quote][i]Roshan [Ro-shun] Sarini, born to a side branch of one of the more disrespected noble houses of Cheliax, is a rather odd duck compared to most of his fellow countrymen, never mind his own noble brethren. Born with a respectable talent for the arcane arts and a measure of innate power stemming back to his mother, a Sorceress of some repute, he somehow fumbled his way into summoning a powerful, fiend-like Outsider at the young age of fourteen, forging an inherent connection that could not be broken.
The Outsider, despite ‘her’ looks, was far from an actual fiend. Though feral, the being he refers to as ‘Serra’ possessed a noble quality that Roshan found highly appealing and, to his surprise, one that he soon mirrored.
Never quite satisfied with his life and station in it, nor particularly devout to Asmodeus beyond lip service, Roshan came to view himself more and more as an outsider, the cruelty and vicious political games at court becoming an increasing source of frustration for him until, finally, the proverbial cup had run over and he abandoned his family, fleeing the country.
Roshan desperately wants to help and be accepted, but he can’t quite get over his upbringing. He is quick to dismiss others for their faults and sometimes belittles them without realizing it, though he always takes great pains to show his regret if he realizes this or it’s pointed out.
Having been a subject of cultural prejudice for his origins and the company he keeps, he fiercely defends those that suffer from the same, to the point of sometimes even being exploited for it. Still, he does not hide his own nationality, speaking with a clearly Chelaxian accent and being dressed in their style of clothing.
His clothes are, however, bereft of any symbols of the Church of Asmodeus, instead he sports an amulet with the Holy Symbol of Desna prominently around his neck.
Serra is usually at his side, though her devil-like appearance is hidden beneath a magical trinket and a cowl both.[/i][/quote]
