Name:
Riddhe Prielind Adelheid
Race:Human
Gender:Male
Age:37, apparent age: 26
Profession: Vagrant
Description:
Adelheid stands at roughly six foot one. Short blond hair covers his head, while from a serious looking face; spared from many a scar, pine green eyes observe his surroundings. He possesses a muscular but nimble body, something reflected in his uniform, as it is mostly made out of leather, and minimal metals, as not to impede movement. Recently, he stopped wearing the tabard that was part of his uniform. While earlier mentioned, his face barely has any scars, his lower arms and torso bear the exact opposite, all which have a tale to tell. (Pictures, Writing, anything you can use to describe what this character looks like)
Personality: Usually serious but approachable, his recent morose demeanor, has given people the impression that he is the unfriendly sort, while in reality he is quite friendly, and can be very talkative when engaged in conversation. Being a former member of The Order of Absolute Judgement, he still wishes to dispense justice upon those who do wrong. However due to recent events, he doubts what he perceived justice entailed, and questions if his actions up till now were truly righteous.
History:
Riddhe Prielind was the youngest of three, with the eldest being seven years older. His mother;
Adelheid, was of high nobility, although stripped of her status when her land was conquered, and was forced to marry a newly appointed baron hailing from the Divine Empire of Altella,
Riddhe and his siblings eventual father named
Rydholm. At the age of ten he was drafted into the ranks of The Order of Absolute Judgement, where he would apprentice under a foreign member by the name of
Omar El-Ghazzawy, whom would teach
Riddhe how to fight. Over time, they forged a bond that became more than that of mentor and apprentice; they became comrades, and something akin to father and son. They would fight together on different fronts, nigh unbeatable, as they complemented each other, intercepting blows, and sneaking in hits when the other couldn’t.
This all came to an end roughly 3 months ago, when the both of them got involuntarily involved in a coup within the order. They were used as scapegoats,
Riddhe’s mentor sacrificed to “appease” their god, and he himself exiled and geased, unable to inform anyone of what happened, or tell a person of his true identity. With his identity and mentor stolen from him, he wanders the road aimlessly, now under the name of Adelheid.
Inventory/Equipment:
5 days worth of rations.
Twenty sovereigns
Adelheid’s uniform
A tabard bearing the mark of The Order of Absolute Judgement
A large curved sword of Damascus steel
A sizeable shield
Special Traits: Like most templars and paladins, Adelheid is capable of using holy magic. Due to no longer trusting in his god, and doubting his teachings, it’s effects have greatly reduced, and at times won’t work at all. The curved blade he owns is exceptionally sharp, able to cut through various materials with greater ease. He's been using it for such a long time in concert with his divine abillities, that his blade has adopted elements of it.
His fighting style and skillset are both unorthodox, especially so for a Templar, prefering to rather fight without a shield then with.
