LordAelfric

Inactive Member
Vallyn Dor'Hool Barkemp is a player character played by @LordAelfric. Intended to play in the Wayward plotline. @Whitehart is a friend of mine. Need @Syaoran approval I believe? I'm terribly new to this and this is insanely daunting.

Species & Gender: Kishargal Male
Year of Birth: 1691 ce, 7th month
Organization:
Occupation: Freelance Miner
Rank:
Preferred Plot: Wayward

Physical Description
Height: 8'2" (2.48 m)

Weight: 435 lbs (197.3 kg)

Build, Skin Color and Skin Pattern: Vallynn has a rather short and stocky build for his race although has not lost any of the native agility. His skin is a pale blue-violet and is rather muscular due to rigorous exercise and many battles. Vallynn's vibrant purple stripes spiral from his legs upwards into jagged stripes along his arms and shoulders fading into spots across his brow and temples into his hair.

Eyes and ears: His eyes are the typical almond shape with Yellow irises. His ears seem to be in the middle of being straight out or swept back against the head.

Horns: Vallynn's horns start out more blue than his skin tone at the base and gradually fade to a light grey at the tips. His horns mostly move back and sweep up slightly at the end. He has a rare smaller horn grown right below the usual set.

Hair Color: His hair is a pale grey almost white with faint tints of blue. It is mostly unkempt and spiky in fashion with a longer braid that hand down along the left side of his face dropping just past his collar bone.

Tail: His tail is speckled with vibrant purple spots along the length of his tail culminating in three distinct rings on his barb.

Distinguishing Features: Vallynn has some scarring along the left side of his face, even gouging some of his horns. This was caused by an explosion at close range.


Personality
Vallynn has always been a determined and hard working man. This allowed him to truly shine in his service to the Constitutional Dominion of Ersetu. He was noted as a brave and courageous warrior, leading men from the front through some of the fiercest battles. Showing devotion to those under his command earned much of their loyalty as well.

In the years after his exile however, while those same traits lived on, he became grim and cold. Being shunned from his people had put Vallynn's honor and existence into question. He did what he could however in light of it and used that determination in whatever job he happened to be working at the time.

He tends to shy away from leadership responsibilities and prefers to do the grunt work. Only during a fight does his command expertise arise. He naturally commands battles with clear experience.
  • Likes: Explosions, the smell of trees, the cold, the thrill of combat
  • Dislikes: Mistreatment of those less fortunate, rudeness, laziness
  • Goals: To do something truly big so that he can wash away the stain of dishonor
History
Vallynn was a man of action even from his childhood. He stood up for people, defied the odds and showed a true loyalty to his Clan and Nation. It was no surprise to his family that he became a soldier, even going so far as to join the elite Dragoons. It was his time as a Dragoon that he performed many heroic feats in battle, from saving countless lives of both innocents and soldiers alike. He was well liked and always right there where the fighting was heaviest, usuall when he was needed the most. This heroism and bravery even earned him the title of Knight within the Constitutional Dominion of Ersetu. It was a proud day for him, his family and his Clan.

When the Civil War started Vallynn was no less a soldier. He fought to protect those on his side as fiercely as he always had. One engagement he had sent Miles, his Second in Command ahead along with his Dragoon regiment to secure and safeguard a small village. When Vallynn caught up to his soldiers he found before him a massacre. Miles tried to explain that the village were supporters of the other side of the war and they had refused to provide shelter and food so he had executed them as traitors. Vallynn was furious that his Second would parake in such a ghoulish action and he openly berated the Kishargal. Miles then drew on Vallynn and told him that he was now his prisoner and that they would no longer take orders from the Crown, it was a mutiny.

That night however, Vallynn broke out of his chains, used his vast knowledge of exlosives and killed his comrades turned traitor. He had expected to die and to take the shame he felt in allowing his men to become such a disreputable lot, but fate had other plans. He ended up surviving, though badly scarred on his face. He knew the penalty he would face due to the misdeeds of him and his regiment. With a heavy heart he made his way off world and into the black unknown space.

Little by little he found himself in a completely foreign environment full of strange aliens and technologies. Luckily and miraculously those lessons as a child in the Trade language became valuable. He was able to communicate and therefore make his way in Kikyo sector. He found the overall experience quite crazy and overwhelming so he headed for the farthest reaches he could find, Abwehran space. It also helped that many Abwehrans shared his need for low light and heavy gravity conditions. Since arriving he has found easy work in the mining industry with his knowledge of explosives and has even been trained to pilot Mecha frames.

Social Connections
Vallynn is connected to:
  • Kiri (Mother)
  • Grunn (Father)

Skills Learned
  • Mathematics: Vallynn was required to learn basic math and has done just that. While not an exceptional student he did generally above average.
  • Communication: He is able to read and write both Awagir and Trade correctly, though his Trade his heavily accented and out of date. He knows the importance of communication both in and out of combat and can use various technologies for communication.
  • Technology Operation: While no expert Vallynn is well versed in Kishargal technology and since his time in the Kikyo sector he has picked up a passing knowledge of more common technologies.
  • Fighting: Vallynn is a successful and fierce warrior. Well versed in multiple Kishargal fighting styles with extra training as a Dragoon. He is an accomplished swordsman as well as an accurate and reliable shot. He keeps his body in the best shape possible. He has become versed in the newer weaponry of the Kikyo sector.
  • Demolition: Having been raised around explosives for mining and eventually military service, his keen eye on working with demolitions was one of the things he learned extensively. He has knowledge of making explosives from even the most basic of components.
  • Pilot: He has learned the basics of piloting mecha and small shuttles. Mainly through work in space mining. While a bit slower in the process due to the technology differences, Vallynn's hard work saw him gain the basics fairly well.
  • Leadership: During his tenure with the Dragoons he lead several forces under heavy combat. He is a capable leader and is at ease with commanding situations normally chaotic. With a leadership by example mindset, he never shied away from taking on dangerous tasks, even when his personal safety was at grave risk.
  • Entertainment (Singing):His family, though well known for their skills as miners had always held a special place for music at their table. It was taught in each generation to appreciate the arts and supply the world with a little light when they often had to dig deep in the dark.

Okay I took a glance over it for now since I don't have much time in the morning. I didn't pick up any glaring flaws, however I would like @Gunsight1 to see this first to check if the background matches up properly, I know nothing about this species unfortunately.
 
Hey Kim, earlier in the thread there's a link to an already-existing wiki page for this character.
