Biography
Something of an odd site beyond coastal cities, Keros is an adventuring triton, one of the land-capable merfolk. Having been raised by an adventurer mother and a religious father, that Keros and his mage brother, Lunos, both took up arms in the name of the Moonmaiden was unsurprising. As Swords of the Lady, the two worked to purge the surface of Shar agents who would seek to plunge Faerun into chaos.
After a mission went horribly awry, ending in the death of not only the Shar cleric he'd been sent to stop, but the Selune paladin he'd been partnered with by his own bow, Keros was marked a danger to the order. Fearing that the corruption he'd seen in the paladin had deeper roots in the order, Keros fled arrest, hoping to find a means to clear his name. Even if it meant being doubted by his own brother.
Now set up far to the west in Waterdeep, Keros's mercenary and adventuring work has landed him in the service of the Noble House of Blackwood. There he is partnered with the cleric Grumbar, the barbarian Bonu, and the monk Edwin to protect and serve the family despite the unique and troubling circumstances that lead to the party and the family's acquaintance.
Design
BUILD. Though he's short, Keros has a very athletic figure. His arms are well toned from archery and he's quite dexterous.
SKIN. With his sea blue skintone, when Keros blushes he turns purple.
EYES. Emerald green and very expressive.
HAIR. His hair naturally fades from white to seafoam. He keeps the sides shaved and will usually have it up in a top-knot.
FINS. There is a soft green tint to the tips of his fin ears. Only the right side is pierced.
THE GREYBOW was once the staff of a winter hag before Keros had it repurposed. Its greywood is characterized by old, gnarled notches and its bowstring is moon white and glows when activated.
Keros puts functionality ahead of style. He dresses in combat ready leathers that allow him to move quickly and react fast. His training has left him favoring elven inspired fashions, usually leaning towards sea and moon related designs and imagery.
The two constants are his silver necklace and moon earring. The Seven Stars of Selune are always around his neck, usually in proud display. And his Lunatic earring is always worn in his right ear.
Relationships
After a misunderstanding on Keros's part, he's recently reunited with his baby brother. Together with their order they hope to restore the Swords.
Mara's as fierce as she is kind. Realizing life's too short for what ifs, the two have been happily dating in the face of the world's end.
Bonu
[ teammate ]
Having missed(?) his calling as a bard and a baker, this barbarian wears his big, squishy heart on his sleeve to the party's dismay.
Grumbar
[ ally ]
A several month sober cleric to a once-dead-returned-and-dead-again god of pacts and the earth. He's healing and dealing with fissures.
Edwin
[ ally ]
A drunken pugilist with a questionable heroic history, Edwin is an old adventurer as likely to punch you in the face as he is to buy you a drink.
Zymun
[ enemy ]
The bastard half-brother of Mara, Keros is prepared to hunt him down so he may answer for his crimes against Waterdeep and House Blackwood.
