Description: Taethion keeps a defined posture, standing up straight to a height of 6'0". He has long blonde hair and hazel eyes. He is hardly seen with out a smile and has an approachable aire about him. Though his face does betray his age, often looking younger with a boyish face. His body isn't teeming with muscles in fact he's pretty lean with some defined musculature. He only looks buffer than he is because of the heavy plate he wears. It is the basic steel grey color, but often has a shine of gold when hit in the light.
Personality: Like any paladin, Taethion is brave, chivalrous, and honest. Unlike other paladins however, Taethion is devoid of the pretentious, holier-than-thou, attitude that some develop. Also unlike a Paladin, his speech is very casual and down to earth, while others are stuffy or rather over the top religious. Taethion is very humble and not at all arrogant. After all hubris is a deadly sin. He is very friendly and quite calm in most situations. He is very devoted to his faith and faithful to the company he keeps.
History: Taethion was orphaned at birth, left on the steps of a Church. There he was raised by the clergyman, particularly a retired Paladin by the name of Quincy. Quincy raised the boy to be an honest and good soul, since so few exist in the world. He noticed that Taethion had an affinity with white magic and trained him in the Art of Prayer. Using their god's name to evoke his holy might into human form. After many years of teachings, Taethion finished his training and left the Church. Since then he has been traveling Galderia helping those he meets along the way. Taethion hails from Gilfried, a hamlet from a far off kingdom. Without a last name he has since taken the township as part of his title.
Inventory: Horse (Herod), Plate Armor, Longsword, Prayer Book
Special Traits: Returning Blade- The sword he carries was given to him by his mentor, and it was inscribed with a Spell of Returning. Meaning Taethion can call forth his blade without having to touch it. It is able to fly in mid air and return safely into his palm. If the blade is hindered, such as smothered in rubble, or held tightly in an enemy's grip, the blade will struggle to free itself. In a life or death situation, time is of the essence and being disarmed for any extended period is dangerous. While he can be distanced from the blade he cannot go very far from it. Taethion cannot be anywhere in the world and still be able to summon the blade. He has to be within a decent proximity of the blade.
Prayers: The Paladin's bread and butter. He is able to speak words to his Patron Deity and is given a number of effects. Most of which are used to heal wounds, or empower one's body and soul. They only reason he has access to these heavenly powers is because of his Oath of Celibacy he made when he began his training.
