Appearance
Andol is a fairly tall Half-Elf who has quite long brilliantly red hair, unusually so. His pale complexation is in stark contrast to both his red hair and his piecing gold eyes. Indeed there are those who claim that his elegant features, make him among the most handsome people they've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Others however, hold true to their claim that they've never seen a more punchable face in their lives. It should also be mentioned that Andol's left arm has sadly decided to move onto other things and is henceforth called "Cool Andol". Thanks to the efforts of fellow party member Omerok, Andol's regrown his left arm.
Andol's usual outfit consists of a set of full purple robes with bits of golden embroidery found throughout, a pair of black pants (of which the robe usually covers), along with fairly mundane looking traveling shoes the color of ash. In addition a holy symbol of Goar along with an arcane focus of bronze and amethyst hang from his neck, with a damaged ring on his left hand.
Personality
Equipment
Andol has a light crossbow currently his only form of defense, along with a couple daggers. Currently his three most important items are a cloak of billowing to help with his magnificent appearance (it also can't be stopped), a bag of holding given to him by the late Barbatos just before he sacrificed himself to save Clymene (which was never taken away), and a ring called The Ring of the Grammarian which he used to great effect by changing up to two letters of a spell to change what they do. Sadly the last item was severely damaged and is unrepairable, from any means minus a Wish spell. As far as miscellaneous items go, he has a business card from "The Menagerie", an outfit from another time, a ring of friendship gifted by Aiden and finally a simple conch shell.
Powers, Abilities and Skills
- Bloodline: Previously had a Shadow Bloodline, along with a Draconic one. Both of which were sacrificed in order to keep a promise, and save those dear.
- Eyesight: Can see 60ft in the dark, much less then he's used to.
- Longevity: As a Half-Elf, Andol is influenced by his elven side and likely has a lifespan twice as long a a pure human.
- Magical Aptitude: Has a deep knowledge of how to control and modify innate magical energy, energy he no longer possesses.
- Magnificence: While his looks are one faucet, Andol has the unexplainable phenomena of radiating an aura of Magnificence which augments his already significant charisma.
- Resistances: Due to his Elven ancestry, Andol has Resistance against attempts to Charm him while also being impossible to put to sleep through magical means.
- Silver-Tongued: Andol has an almost supernatural ability of using his charisma. Whether this is convincing people of a certain point of view, charming people without trying, or helping to convince a Faction to go to war for a faction they hate.
Relationships
- Aiden Thorin --"Aiden Thorin, older brother of Andol Thorin. Heh, it still makes me smile when I think about it. He's an outstanding guy who's depth of heart, is only matched by the depth of his ego.... if not slightly exceeded. He's had it tough, fighting his literal demons, while attempting not to loose himself. I hope he can accept himself fully one day, just laughing with Raiah with no shadows weighing down his mind. Having a brother and friend like Aiden, is more then worth losing my magic.... a hundred times over."
- Aileen Lockheart --"Aileen wasn't an adventurer when she first joined up. She made some basic mistakes and took things not so seriously at points, often due to Clymene's influence. She improved fast though, and I was beginning to see the shadow of not just an adventurer, but a hero in her. She went too soon... through no fault of her own. What use is a persuasive tongue, if it can't even save a friend?"
- Barbatos --"Barbatos was a guy who'd always be there for his friends, sure he'd have a couple rash plans here and there. But he had a good heart and truly wanted to make difference... You were better then you thought you were, hopefully you realize that now. I'll do what I can to watch over Vera, not that she wants us around. Fuck, Clymene need's to own up on costing Aileen her life. It won't be pretty, but if Vera finds out on her own... well she shouldn't have to."
- Bill and Ted --"I suppose I'll have to let them know that the scone business will likely have to close down. It's a shame, I thought it could bring joy to people, not to mention helping people down on their luck. I'm sure Bill and Ted will come up with another business plan soon enough, I'll see if I can help out. I owe it to them to at least try."
- Clymene --"Clymene's.... Clymene's complicated in a variety of ways. She's a good person at heart, I truly believe that. But she needs to not rush into taking actions or conclusions without thinking and actually listen to others. She has seemed to improve as late and I hope it's not just my imagination. Without my powers I'm worried she'll make a mistake that I won't be able to fix."
- Charles Harper --"Charles is essentially the definition of an underappreciated genius, in C&D. He doesn't get half as much as thanks and respect as he should for all the different work and assistance he does for the rest of C&D. Sure he's not my biggest fan but I have no issue with that, hell there's nothing saying I can't like someone who doesn't like me. He's one of the most "good" people I know and I think he could be good for Sayrax. I fully support him in that endeavor.. as long as he doesn't make her cry, then I might just have a problem with Charles."
- Desdemona Nox --"So Desdemona say's she's not impressed with my drive and initiative, along with saying that I don't have to fulfil my end of the bargain since she doesn't really care. Which is totally fine, family doesn't always agree.... I think? I'm not super sure about family dynamics but I'm pretty sure Desdemona's my cousin.... Anyways, I'm still going to revive her daughter... Who may or may not be her actual daughter, so she might or might not be family? Doesn't really matter, I'm bringing her back and if Desdemona doesn't want her then I'll make sure she at least has a place to stay."
- Edgar Castille --"Ok Edgar is much easier to place then Desdemona, he's my Uncle and a pretty outstanding guy. He's a noble who actually does things and involves himself in politics when needed, despite not being the biggest fan. Which I can totally relate to, curse my bleeding heart. He also puts a lot of importance on family and cares deeply for it, at least from what I've seen and heard. I'm sure it'll be nice to talk with Edgar, when it's not about saving the world or other similar topics."
- Elvira Windhelm --"Elvira's the perfect example of what someone in a position of authority should be like, she doesn't shy away from doing what best for the people or from threats that few would dare face. I'd drink to her and her men's bravery, but she really needs to go and make things official with Hildr. If she puts it off much longer Hildr will find someone else, I know she has apprehensions of how it'll affect her position. If her Father tries anything I'll give a speech to the people and see who they decide to berate or insult."
- Hildr Firebrand --"I'm honestly just glad she's alive, I wasn't sure she was going to wake up and tried to improve her condition with the little bit of magic I had suited to the task. She's slowly getting back into things with the goal of bodying Atalanta giving her all the motivation she needs. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it, I'll have to see what I can do to make their meeting happen.... easier."
- Incineryn Blackpyre --"Incineryn was a complicated person who had too much destructive elements, which they didn't deal with in a.... preferable matter. I don't fully blame her for that though, since from what little I've gathered their parents and extended family are/were worrisome."
- Laura --"Laura was someone who was always trying her best to look after the people around her and I would have loved to have gotten to know more about them. The only positive outlook on her passing, is that she was finally able to get revenge. Now it looks like we have to put Gwynevere back where she belongs, I hope Laura watches when it happens. It'll be good practice for the other one who escaped death..."
- Logan Karstark --"He's paradoxically one of the most reliable people around, along with being one of the most unreliable people around. It can be hard to tell which, though he has a good heart for people he considers friends and I reckon it's partly due to the unique situation he finds himself in."
- Lumira Igne --"Thank god for Lumira, not only for her assistance running the healers section of C&D but for being more balanced in the mental department. Not using violence as the first answer and thinking things through, just keep being you Lumira."
- Lydia Redfort --"If other's in the Alliance were as hard working and responsible as her, well we'd not have to worry about everything falling apart when we're gone for a couple days. I hope she gets the happiness she wants in life, though I'll leave what it is there."
- Lyra Roseshade --"To say that Lyra's the reason I can still smile, wouldn't be much of an exaggeration at all. Just hearing her music or laughter makes the world brighter, like the difference between the Material Plane and the Shadowfell. That's not to say she's perfect though, she's gone through a lot from what I can tell, even in comparison to myself. You wouldn't notice it easily, but she finds it hard to open up and connect with other's and I'm no exception. I'll just have to be there for her, always no matter what..."
- Maribelle Blackpyre --"Maribelle's really impressed me as of late, she's taken Marilka's training more seriously and properly then I would have thought possible from her. She's still the same kind of person she was before, but showing more maturity and responsibility then perhaps anyone else in C&D bar Omerok. As my face can attest, she also throws quite the mean punch, but hey she was doing it to protect someone she cares about. It just gives her extra points from me, I don't hold it against her at all.... or Marilka for stabbing me."
- Marilka Thyrnmur --"Marilka's tougher then she she has any right to be.... then she should be at her age. She'll make a damn good Adventurer in the future if that's the path she chooses, despite almost everyone's efforts to shield her from the reality of it all. Hiding or trying to stifle her interest in adventurers, will just make her more likely to go off on her own eventually and not be prepared. This way she'll also learn to rely on others more and not feel alone when they don't need to be, nothings worse then that."
- Omerok --"Omerok never ceases to amaze me in how adhered he is to his principals along with how easily he seems to just enjoy life, not letting anything burden him much at all. Honestly he's the heart and soul of not just C&D, but whatever group/place he finds himself within. He and the Raven Queen make a cute couple."
- Qurouk Cluiekill --"Barely got to know the guy unfortunately, but from the little time I spent with him I could tell he had the best intentions for all of us. Sacrificed himself without a hint of hesitation, which is something that not many can do, no matter how much they boast. He left quite the fighter behind, I think he'd be proud of how far she's come."
- Raiah Theron --"Can I just say how glad I am that Aiden found Raiah, God knows no one else could deal with his ego. All jokes aside she brings out the best in him and vice-versa, and I'd trust no one more to watch his back. She's a mean hand with her knives and even more so with her mind, even if her torture techniques could use some work."
- Roland Castille - Roland's ability to not let past tensions between the Alliance and the Conclave blind his eyes to usefulness of asking them for support, makes him a much needed person of reason. At least among the "higher" ups of the Alliance, which Andol already fears is heavily infiltrated by the Forsaken. Seeing as they're also Cousins now, Andol will do his best to support him when he can.
- Sayrax - One of the most kind, empathetic, loyal and sweet people you'll ever have the absolute pleasure of meeting. Andol see's Sayrax as one of the strongest people he's ever known, not through power that anyone can wield, but truth strength. Her ability to go through her past traumas and still see the beauty in the world and others is truly inspiring. He hopes she'll never lose that strength of hers, the world would be a darker place and it could really use the light.
- Skulk Greymind - Skulks one of C&D's earliest allies and while hoping he'll keep a secret is a vain hope, having him save your hide in battle is a certainty. Andol's realized however, that like all people Skulk has his own layers of depth to him. With a loving wife/son who he hopes to live quietly with after the fight is over. Andol will do what he can, to make sure that hope becomes a reality.
- Victor Salazaar - Andol sees Victor as the most capable member of the "strike" force he led in order to get the lead on Jordun's location. He also sees him as a potential threat to Aiden and not someone all that trust worthy.
- Visera Maelstrom - Wariness was Andol's initial feelings towards this Leader of the Conclave, seeing as their first meeting was her conversing through fellow Warforged Sayrax, it's understandable. After learning about everything she's done for her fellow Warforged who've been abandoned or feel lost, he sees her in a different light. Helping those abandoned by society or the like has also been a favorable action to Andol.
- Ygrid Ironborn - Ygrid's badassness is balanced by the fairness she shows to those who have earned it. Willing to listen to a ragtag group of Adventurers on why she should care enough to save the Alliance, which enslaved and murdered her people. Her being a God and still being reasonable gets bonus points, since quite a few Gods tend to be unreasonable jerks.
