CHARACTER QUESTIONS:

What will your character’s name be?

Temnoslav Tmavic


Please briefly describe the physical attributes of your character, including age, looks, height, weight and any notable features:

Temnoslav is tall, broad-shouldered but currently malnourished male of 21 years. His carelessly shaven scalp and long beard are mostly gray, even at his young age, with a few patches of still vividly ginger hair reminding him of what he used to look like as a kid.
He has visible burn scars beggining at the palm of his hands up to his elbows.


Please provide a few short paragraphs with pertinent details or notable qualities of your character’s history. This does not have to be exhaustive nor revealing of any information you wish to keep secret:

Temnoslav was raised by his pagan parents (Mariana and Johan) in the western parts of Mid-lands.
They detested Decusian and his beliefs, living mainly of the land around them, hunting, gathering, while teaching his son many of the old rituals and incantations.


Even though he was always attracted to the mysterious and occult arts, his physical appearance wasn't left behind as living of the land is often harsh and requires lots of manual labor.
His stoic and hard-working character earned him respect from his parents from very young age.

As affliction spread through the lands, gossip began to circulate around nearby settlements and villages accusing Tmavic family of foul witchcraft, bringing this pestilence here because many of people around this family perished.
One summer night, angrered and anxious townsfolk decided to take justice in their own hands.

Angry mob enclosed around their cottage while Temnoslav and his parents shocked and in disbelief looked at the unfortunate situation unravelling before them.
When the door swung open, there was no escape from this situation. Maddened villagers with dogs came sprinting through the doorway and immediately attacked Mariana and Johan.
Temnoslav quickly leapt on one of the assiliants but was soon owerpowered by many, tied and knocked on the ground. To prevent him from any vile incantations, they cut out his tongue and left him bleeding on the floor while he listened to his parents scream outside their cottage.
Once the screaming stopped, mob procceed to set the thatch roof on fire and scatter home.

Temnoslav coughing up blood, barely seeing through all the smoke, crawled closer to the fire and put his hands in the flames so they would burn through restrains.
His blood-curdling screams were heard by villagers shambling home. At last, charred rope gave in and his blistering hands were free, he quickly loosened rest of the restrains and ran outside where he lost consciousness.


Briefly state your character’s intentions or motivations for entering the First Province:

Get back on his feet, deepen knowledge of the occult and train for the trying times to come


Scenario Response:

Anxious but having nothing to lose, Temnoslav approached the officiant

Officiant: "State your bussiness and make it quick, citizen"

Temnoslav: *gesturing best as he possibly can that he is mute*

Officiant: "Move aside, I have no time for this nonsense"

Temnoslav: *opens mouth and point at the remains of his tongue*

Officiant: *visibly disgusted by his appearance standing in silence*

Temnoslav: *rummages through his pouch, pulling out rugged scroll and a piece of paper with some inscriptions, handing it over to the Officiant*
