NAME: Jevan
HOUSE NAME: Illykur
RACE: Drow
AGE: Looks to be only slightly above the adult age for a drow
GENDER: Male
DATE OF BIRTH: 7 Nighthal 1231 DR
PLACE OF BIRTH: Ched Nasad
CLASS: Warrior? Swashbuckler, later Tempest and Shadowdancer
ALIGNEMENT: Hard to tell... Chaotic Neutral
RELIGION: Unknown. Eilistraee
APPEARANCE: A pretty tall, sturdy with the body of a hard-trained warrior, always wearing a leather armor, carrying a rapier and a kukry with him. Practical clothing is a rule for him. He has grey-silver hair and red eyes, a good loking appearance, slightly above the average.
PRIMARY LANGUAGE: Drowish, Undercommon, Drow Sign Language, Elven (basical)
SECONDARY LANGUAGES: Goblin/Ghukliak (good), Gnomish (good), Abyssal (basical)
HISTORY
If someone will ask to him, Jevan will simply tell he is another victim of a war between noble's Houses, and he was likely to become soon the patron of her own House in Ched Nasad. He survived to the fall of House Illykur (happened in 1357 DR) only because he was trying to complete a task for Matron Vornalla, in the same cycle an enemy House attacked the small but ambitious Illykur House. All the nobles were killed ( his sisters Faeryl and Xullrae, twin sisters and priestesses of Lloth; Xarann, House's wizard and first son; Vielyn, House's weapon master, brother of Matron Vornalla and mentor of Jevan).
Luckily for him, Jevan is a quite handsome jaluk with many jalilen as casual lovers (even a few jalilen from other noble Houses) and once he know of his House's fall the most "trusted" of them helped him to flee from the city, becoming a merchant's guard until he arrives in Sshamath. Here began to work as mercenary, discovering the faith of Eilistraee through Amalica, a maid at Lukhorn's Gullet and occasional lover of him (and of several others customers). Even if Jevan is not the only lover for Amalica, their acquiatance grews over the time and now they see each other as trusted friends (and for that Amalica told to him the basis of the Dark Maiden's faith, seeing he is not corrupted as many others she knows).
RELIGION
Jevan is a very fresh follower of Eilistraee ("discovered" shortly after his arrival in Sshamath) but he keeps it as a secret, still being avalaible for any work from anyone. He simply endures all the other drowish faiths, secretly dislinking them but NEVER opposing them.
PSYCHOLOGY: Jevan is used to obey blindly and now that is a mercenary he likes to be reliable for the time of a job. However now is more selective about the works he accepts, feel himself free to refuse single tasks. She is pretty sensitive about jalilen's beauty, but also very cautios (being grown in a Lloth's clergy dominated city) and he prefers to earn slowly the trust of a jalil first, mostly with his skill and his reliability.
Jevan is also very little ambitious and not racist. He is however reluctant to give up with old habits: he is not willingly to do "evil" actions voluntarily, but he knows that he MUST do them sometimes. His slow approach to Eilistraee's faith simply made him more and more disgusted against them, but being grown in a society full of them he still consider them something unavoidable.
GOALS/FUTURE: Unknow, for sure he is now determined to become a master warrior. As his main wish he could like to live somewhere free from any oppressive power like Lloth's clergy or the Council. However her prefers to rely mostly on his efforts to do that. The Surface World could be a solution, but he is sceptical about him living there.
PLOT HOOKS: Jevan could be interested in any mission for his work of mercenary, avoiding works like raids or slaughters of non-evil races.He could be interested in contacts with surface but only covering his identity.
