human (mostly)

Age: 38
DOB: 23rd Yanvir
Birthplace: The Green Circle Protectorate
Occupation: Mage Champion
Languages: Common, Low Elven
Personality
(Sadly, I had the personality all brilliantly typed up
and then I accidentally saved over it. This is what I've been able to
cobble together, but a lot's missing.)
Snobby, picky, and with a good deal more compassion than he can handle.
Cecil simply can't walk by a tragedy without stopping to help, though
his frequently bossy nature sometimes makes him an unwanted help.
Cecil had a very privileged childhood and as a result often feels
entitled to preferential treatment. His family was wealthy and he's
always been unusually good-looking for a human male, which all adds up
to one very conceited individual. He gets full of himself easily. He
always thinks he's smarter than everyone else and that his way is the
best way, to the extent that he can get into trouble and make dangerous
mistakes when dealing with things he really doesn't know a lot about. He
has a tendency to put on airs and get annoyed by even the tiniest
things. When he's annoyed he can also get quite loud, though his voice
is rather meager and doesn't carry well unless he enhances it with
magic.
Despite all that, he's an essentially good person. He's not
financially generous, believing money doesn't help people, but he's
generous with his time. He's never failed to offer his services to
anyone. He genuinely feels compelled to help others and make their lives
better if he can.
Physical Characteristics
Height: 5' 11"
Weight/Build: slender
Hair: Long, pale golden, silky, usually decorated with a few
braids.
Eyes: golden
Skin: moderately pale
Face: long, gentle, youthful
Attire: Mage robes in yellows and whites and often with shimmery
fabrics -- he likes to give the impression of a sunbeam walking. He
carries a staff as tall as himself with sunmetal loops and embedded
sunstones. He'll go so far as to wear things which are uncomfortable
just for the effect. He likes to have a bit of green somewhere as an
homage to his homeland. |
| HISTORY
Collective History: the Green Circle
Nestled in the fertile lands is the haven known as the Green Circle.
Home to a small number of humans and elves, it is an area of peace and
prosperity, green and vibrant, and proof of the idea that humans and
elves can live peacefully together after the Great Wars. Ruled by a
collective of elves and Elders, its most honored family is the noble
Orvinque, holders of the Green Circle talisman after which the land was
named.
Things were peaceful for hundreds of years until the younger son of the
Orvinque family, Albemarle Grunsparwa Orvinque, stole the Green Circle
and ran off with it into the woods. He was pursued by the elder son,
Aronnax Grunhafoc Orvinque, and Cecil Lavanchy, a mage from the human
town. When Albemarle activated the Circle to defend himself from
monsters, he became the Circle's Bearer, and all the evils of the land
descended upon him, hungry for the Circle's powers. Albemarle fled, but
was eventually caught by Aronnax and Cecil who, unabel to remove the
Circle from Albemarle, were forced to join him. They journeyed up into
the snowy peaks of the Great North Mountains, where they encountered the
barbarian Baramis Arzen-Gafoul, who was on a holy quest for the Goddess
in the hopes of being named her paladin-champion.
On top of Snowy Peak, they fought the Lord of Blackdragon and defeated
him. But Blackdragon's minions were not so easily dissuaded, and the
intrepid heroes sought refuge in the Great North Temple's sanctuary.
There they were visited by the Goddess, who named Baramis her
paladin-champion, and Cecil her mage-champion. Empowered by the Goddess,
the heroes charged out and threw back the attackers, driving them away
from the Temple.
But it was too late for the land of the Green Circle. Without its
protective talisman, it had been overrun by orcs and all the fertile
greenery destroyed. Aronnax, rightly blaming Albemarle, pronounced his
brother was dead to him. He set out to gather up warriors to take back
the Circle. Cecil and Baramis, the Goddess' champions, set out to do the
Goddess' bidding and fight for her glory. Albemarle was invited into the
Goddess' home..
Individual History
Born to a wealthy family, Cecil grew up privileged. He was good-looking,
rich, and was able to study magic instead of working. He has always
known more freedom than other people, and has usually used it for the
better.
When he was sixteen he moved out from his parent's and bought a small
house in town, which was how he came to be tangled up in the life of one
Albemarle Grunsparwa Orvinque.
