General Description:Although his features seem Mulhorandi, his skin is slightly paler, and has a slight golden hue to it. Nearly blending in with the skin tone are golden tattoos along his forehead. The tattoos reflect a mix of cultural tattoos from Mulhorand (depicting a freed slave), and Celestial markings that have been adorned. As with other aasimar, along with these markings and slightly golden skin tone, his ears are pointed.

Deity: The Red Knight
Initial Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Profession: Wandering Martial Artist
Base Class & Proposed Development: Monk (30)
Habits/Hobbies: Though Adallan is often quick to snap off jokes, he has a tendency to try to be impartial in all of his mannerisms. Adallan will often be found reading a variety of histories of different regions or cultures (only remembering bits and pieces), while sipping on a cup of tea. He does, in addition, have a habit of making light of situations that he feels are either not critical, or need levity, though he may do so at times others may feel is inappropriate.
Languages: Common, Mulhorandi, Elven, and Celestial
Weapon of Choice: Unarmed Martial Arts

Background: Adallan was born in a small village just outside of Skuld, in Mulhorand. He was the son of two human slaves, both serving the same master. Though he had two brothers, both human, his own heritage showing itself set himself apart. Upon seeing this, his parents, hoping to give him a better life, pleaded with their master to set him free, stating that it would be a worthy donation to the gods, in doing so. Keeping Adallan a slave, after all, would put their master in a state of disfavor, or so they argued. After significant consideration, their master agreed, sending Adallan off a fair distance, to a monastery in Chessenta to be raised.

The particular monastery, a small mission established a few generations prior, was removed from the public, and followed the way of the Sun Soul (Lathander, Sune, and Selune). The monks took to raising Adallan, along with a few others from various walks of life. In learning, Adallan quickly took to the martial arts training the monks practiced, sometimes sneaking out at night to use their equipment while they weren't around. When he became of age (17), he was offered the chance to take the vows of a monk, and join their monastery. Though tempted to do so, Adallan chose not to take the vows in light of seeing the world (as well as, partly, being a rebellious youth). He left the monastery on his own volition, and tried to survive in Soorenar, Chessenta.

Squandering his money on meaningless pleasures, he eventually went for broke, stowing away on a ship bound for Sembia, joining on with a caravan bound for Waterdeep soon after arriving. Years passed as he traveled, and he slowly began to realize his error, in dismissing the monks. The breaking point was when he reached a point between Neverwinter and Luskan, and fell in love with a girl there. The two were inseparable, for a time. As luck would have it, on the next full moon, he would find the truth - that she was a werewolf. In an attempt to reason with her, he tracked her down, and tried to talk, but was attacked. He defended himself, as he had learned in the monastery, but killed her in the process.

Finally giving in, Adallan took to travel once more, devoting himself to the development of his martial arts, and control of such. In time, he decided he may give love another chance. Eventually, he made his way to Soubar, which is where the story truly begins...

Goals: To perfect himself, to develop his own martial arts, and to create the perfect cup of tea.

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts: Adallan's fascination with the martial arts has drawn him to them. While he will not swear an oath that joins him to a monk order, he is very happy to help orders, should they need the assistance, and learn pieces from them, should they be willing to teach.

Adallan will also refuse to kill werewolves ((if he attacks them IG, please assume that he does not kill them, but puts them down nonlethally)). He does everything he can to reason with them, given his prior experience.

He is sympathetic to the plight of slaves - though he did not experience it fully, he counts himself extremely lucky to have escaped that fate.
