 "Let me be your shield"

     Alexander:
/ah-lehk-SAHN-dehr/  name

A greek name meaning " The protector of people"

-- -- --

     Xander Erix is a dragonborn paladin raised by the Aegis church. After losing his family to an unknown army, he wonders into the empire to look for answers-- and finds himself tangled with a group of mercenaries, who he ends up forming an adventuring party with.

-- -- --

     A very loud, and impulsive guy whose dream has always been to be an adventurer! He's a goofball with a heart of gold, ready to put his life on the line for the people he cares about. Direct, sometimes talks without thinking, but always means well. For him,  plans are made to be broken!

Raised by the Church

     Xander was abandoned as an infant and raised by the church of Aegis, a temple of Bahamut (the God of Protection). He was a very hyperactive, vocal and stubborn child, but he grew up learning diligence and compassion, and he always took every lesson to heart. 

     The closest thing to a father figure was a man called Desmond Erix, the head priest of the church that had a very close relationship to Xander. Some other notable family members of his are his older brother Tylo (another orphaned dragonborn the church took in) and an elven girl called Eleanor. 

     His childhood was humble, but happy.

Dream of an adventure

     Addicted to the stories of heroes and knights in shinning armor, he became determined to become an adventurer at a very early age. To do so, he frequented the local Waylund tavern in search of strong adventuring parties. There, he met Phoebe, a half-orc woman that-- after Xander's very stubborn asking-- decided to train him on the basics of battle. 

     The training he received from her was one of brute strength and power, which he was able to easily harness as a dragon born spawn. The church wasn't particularly happy with Xander's new hobby, but knew they wouldn't be able to stop him in his quest to become who he wanted to be. 

Paladin Oath(The Black Cloaks)

     Convinced he had what it took to be an adventurer, Xander would go out on his solo adventures in random occasions. After hearing of a mysterious army that had been terrorizing a nearby town, Xander set out to investigate-- against the Church's wishes. 

     In a surprising twist of fate, that disobedience of his saved his life. The same night he was out, that mysterious army burned down Xander's hometown Waylund to the ground, for no apparent rhyme or reason. Xander only came back to town at the end of the army's raid, to find his father dead, and most of the Church's devotees missing. 

     After that firsthand witnessing of the violence-- and blaming himself, for not being able to protect those he cared about-- Xander swore he would use his strength to ensure something like that would never happen again.  Thus, he made an oath of the Shield, and is now traveling around the land to figure out his purpose, save the ones taken by that unknown army, and stop those monsters from causing more harm.

  • The markings on his face are scales from his red dragon blood. He has other markings around his body, mainly some on the arms, chest and torso, but they are most often covered by his clothing.
  • Black horns, and a red tail with black spikes throughout it.
  • Has a bunch of scars from battles from his childhood. Nothing dramatic or fatal, but he does have a bunch on his torso and a couple on his hands. 
  • He has piercings for earrings, which he changes semi-often. Prefers long and dangly earrings despite being annoying in battle. One of those aesthetic versus practical hills he is willing to die on.
Aegis Church

Role
Paladin

     Born and raised in the church, he knows the ins and outs of prayer. He does not consider himself a devoted man but will stand by the goodness of the church and its ideals-- though he does not do so blindly. He has a very strong moral compass to determine good versus bad.

- Tylo { Older brother } - ALIVE




 Lucie LeVasser 

     The party's warlock, and Xander's closest thing to a best friend. He wholeheartedly trusts her judgment in the most dire of situations, and in turn, he will do whatever he can to protect her. 

     After her body has been stolen by Lila Fringe, he won't stop until he has her back.

     He calls her "Professor."



Adrienne Falck  

     The party's fighter. Xander finds collides against her "I work alone" mentality, but has learned to see her as an equal and an ally. Will not call her Adrienne.

     He calls her "Wings"



 Audra Veyu 

     The party's sorcerer. Xander has learned to trust her through her concerning threats and actions. Bonded over smoking.

     He calls her "Blue"



 Hyacinth 

     The party's cleric. Xander finds her enthusiasm contagious and energy even more so. Will protect her no matter what.

     He calls her "Sunshine"



 James 

     A guard from Alfwood. Xander has promised to take him to see the beach one day.

Session 1 - Feb 26th 2023

     After being released from prison under false accusations, Xander and a group of adventurers are presented with a job offer: find the traitorous guard who kidnapped a count and bring him to justice. Through a thorough investigation of the scene of the crime, the party is led to the guard's house, where his dog is waiting. They follow the dog's search to the northern wall and escape through a hole in the wall into the night.

Session 2 - March 5th 2023

     After a round of traveling, sleeping in for the night, and getting a good tip from a traveling cart along the road, the party made its way to an abandoned quarry. A battle ensued with a couple of undead creatures guarding the entrance, and they came out victorious. Once sneaking into the abandoned mine and finding an incubus talking through a magic object, they had to brace themselves for another fight.

Session 3 - March 13th 2023

     The incubus took control of Xander's mind as soon as combat started, forcing him to turn against the party. The fight was intense, and after dealing considerable damage to Adrienne, Xander finally broke out of mind control. He was pissed. With the aid of a newcomer, they defeated the incubus, found the count and the suspected kidnapper (who had been brainwashed this entire time), and set out to escort them back to the city. 


Session 4 - March 20th 2023

     After safely returning to the captain of the guard and delivering Polis and the count, the party collected their money and had some well-deserved rest. The morning after, they indulged in some shopping and tourism, then went to the beach. Tomorrow, thank you for dinner with the count.

Session 5 - March 27th 2023

     The party was invited to a thank-you dinner in the count's mansion, and a nice evening turned sour. A succubus, controlling the count and his guard, attacks the party. Party finished, count free of brainwashing a second time, the party learns about the succubus sending money to someone called "Hades."

Session 6 - April 3rd 2023

     The morning after, the party's lively breakfast was interrupted by the count, who came to them with a mission: find the missing money. If they did, they could keep it. Accepting the mission, they all got horses and supplies and went on their way for a week of travel. A couple of days after, Adrienne confided in the party and told them that, in a night of keeping watch, he had been approached by a messenger from Hades. The party promised her that they would find this man and keep her safe.

Session 7 - April 10th 2023

     The party set out to catch the missing money through a journey that took several days. On the second day of travel, they found a small group of poachers, who had seemingly been hunting down more than just animals for their skins, pelts, and horns. Horrified and disgusted, the party fought them down and came victorious, but the implication of this group's actions lay heavy on their shoulders. Xander found a broken horn from someone he recognized. 

     Travel went on, and through the nights, they were visited by a couple of red glowing eyes. Undead, as they would later discover, who was stalking them as they slept. They vowed to keep an eye open and push forward all the way to the Alfwood.

Session 8 - April 17th 2023 

        Once arriving, Xander met a guard named James who aided the party in getting to know the city. While asking around for the mercenaries, they spotted one of their targets and chased them to the location of the stolen money. The party managed to talk the mercenaries out of any fighting and took over the mission of delivering the money to Hades.

     Xander spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know James.


Session 9 - April 24th 2023 

     After figuring out that the party could spare an extra day to relax, they spent it going around and doing some general shopping (where Xander spent most of his money). They were settling into a tavern to have dinner when Audra slipped out to smoke through the streets. Hyacinth followed, worried about her intaking too much-- and they were ambushed. Audra got kidnapped and taken to another realm.


Session 10 - May 1st 2023 

     A panicked Hyacinth tells the party that Audra was taken, and the party rushes to try and find clues. Xander and Lucie find a suspicious professor in the library while Hyacinth and Adrienne find The Razor, a professional tracker that will aid them. The Razor helps them track down this teacher the next day, and they discover that she is involved with Audra's disappearance via a weird cult. They set out to find their headquarters.


Session 11 - May 8th 2023 

     The party infiltrated the ranks of the cult via an underground, abandoned mine, where they fought their way through the ranks. They find that Lucie is a vampire, apparently. Through brutal fights, a bones devil, and a bunch of dead evil minions, they made it to the depths-- There, they found two very powerful spell casters holding Audra hostage.


Session 12 - May 15th 2023 

     The party avoided confrontation with the spell casters, knowing that their power was depleted from the previous fights. They save Audra, who they all try and comfort, and then slowly make their way out back to the surface. Safe in a tavern, and curious about Adrienne's new sword, before they all go to sleep, Xander approaches Razor and asks for help to find his missing brother. She accepts.

The rest of the session summaries won't be added any time soon, but I'm leaving these up for my own eyes. We are past session 40 at this point!

Aegis Amulet

dragoncrest_shield_talisman_talisman_eld

      A necklace he keeps hidden under his clothes given to all members of the temple. It's made out of pure, strong iron, and is in the shape of a shield. On it's center there's a depiction of Bahamut with his wings spread out. This was given to Xander by Desmond when Xander was a child.


Pipe of Smoke Monsters

Pipe-of-Smoke-Monsters_Small-PhotoRoom.p

     The user of a pipe of smoke monsters could concentrate while exhaling to shape the smoke into the likeness of any creature, such as a dragon, a flumph, or a froghemoth. The shape occupied a volume no larger than a cube 1 foot (30 centimeters) on a side for a few seconds, then dissipated.


Ring of Feather Falling

Ring_of_feather_falling.png

     When you fall while wearing this ring, you descend 60 feet per round and take no damage from falling.


Tylo's Horn (currently in possession of The Razor)

horns.png

     A single blue horn turned poacher's treasure, belonging to his older blother Tylo. Separated since the fire, Xander was horrified by the horn's discovery, not knowing Tylo's state. Was reunited just recently with his brother, and was relieved to see him alive and well.
