[Rojeck Harl]

ROJECK HARL Basic Information Race:Nuit(Strain:Everwalking) Birthday & Age :100 (Birth date 21 Summer 410 AV) Gender:Male Physical Description Rojeck is a Nuit so his appearance varies with his host body, however this body is that of a male human approximately 20 years old. He has pale,ivory skin that is showing a slight grayish pallor but not obvious since he has only recently begin the use of this body. He has long,copper hair that extends to his mid back and is kept in a ponytail. He has pitch black eyes that have dark bags under them as if he had not been sleeping well. At this time he can successfully hide what he is but the degeneration and decay of his body has already begun. He usually wears a simple pants and tunic during the warm seasons and a heavy cloak during the cold, he also has a full,light traveling cloak he uses to keep his features shadowed. He doesn't seem to carry any weapons, but a light dagger is at his belt. Character Concept Personality: Rojeck has lived over a century which is not long by some racial standards like the Konti and the Jamoura, but to a human mind it has been an eternity, he has watched all his friends and family grow old and die and the world change slowly since his creation. This has made him a bit cynical about life in that it ends all too quickly for mortals, but he somehow has retained the ability to make friends and the desire, it is one of his challenges in life that keeps him going, to retain his human emotions as long as he can having met a few Nuit in his travels that have become cold and emotionless. Rojeck has a sense of humor,though sometimes a bit dry, he enjoys the company of others even if the usual things like eating and drinking no longer hold any pleasure for him as his sense of taste no longer functions nor does he need food and drink. He does emulate the actions of normal humans to prevent people from discovering what he truly is. He is capable of love but chooses not to love as that means ties that will be broken when his love dies. Rojeck also has a love of learning, he has used his immortal status to begin a journey through the world to learn all there is to know and even in a century he has not begun to scratch the surface. He tries to perfect that which he knows before moving on to the next thing, that way he does not exhaust his learning too quickly and he has the lifetimes of many to do it in. Ethics: Rojeck is neutral when it comes to Morality, he has no real sense of right and wrong and feels human Morals do not apply to undead so he makes his own moral code,and that may vary depending on his situation, the main thing is that he is not cruel for cruelty sake, he has not yet become that bored. His Ethical standard is “don't get caught” meaning anything goes as long as it is not cruel for cruelty's sake and he doesn't get caught at it. Likes: Rojeck has a passion for learning, if there is a Lore or skill out there that he can learn or master he will pursue it with the passion of a mortal man in love. He likes to make friends when the idea suits him, he also likes exploring and loves to act as a human and see how long he can fool people, he is fond of riding, when he can find a horse that doesn't shy from him due to his undead nature, he is also fond of sitting in a tavern watching the beings coming in and out, just watching. He is fond of reading,when he can find a good book, he especially enjoys tomes on magic or the legends of Pre Valterrain Mizahar, he knows that actual Pre Valterrain books are rare and expensive but he also makes a hobby of seeking them out. He is also fond of research as that adds to his learning and he likes to travel. He also loves to journal and has kept detailed notes on his life since his turning and before. Dislikes: Cruelty for cruelty's sake, there are ways to accomplish one's goals without inflicting suffering on those around you. Dislikes those who would destroy anything, be it natural or created by other beings just for the sake of Destruction. He mostly hates meaninglessness and purposelessness, those things he can do without as they mean a quick end to his unlife. As he has purpose and meaning in his existence he expects other beings to have the same, he also has causes and reasons and motivations behind what he does and holds others to that standard of having reason for doing what they are doing and “just to be doing it” is not a good reason Character History Pre Creation: Rojeck was born on the 21st day of Summer in the Year AV 410 to parents he remembers vividly despite a century of existence. However if there were written history during that time it would record them as a Human family of little consequence in one of the communities that had returned to the surface to see how the land had recovered from the Valterrain. They were simple folk his father a farmer/rancher and his mother a weaver/tailor, they worked hard for their living in the ever changing environment of the surface Post Valterrain. Rojeck's father was skilled at the play of a sword and his mother a Mage with an emphasis on Summoning and she had a familiar, a Fyrdenese Sarawanki named Lyderia. She had also been one of the rare outsiders to be taught Webbing by the Drykas but would never really tell how she earned that privilege Rojeck never did learn how she got Lyderia but wanted one for himself so he quizzed his mother about Fyrden and its inhabitants, writing down everything she told him about Fyrden and Familiars. He also learned the basics about Summoning from her as well as Webbing. He was also always interested in learning and researched everything he could get his hands on, becoming a kind of Sage. One of the things he had heard about was a way to become Immortal and he would head out into the world to find the secret against his mother's advice that such things always brought sorrow. Rojeck's travels took him from the region of Taldera down south to Sylira in search of the information he desired. He found a man there who seemed a bit odd, there was something not quite right about him. Rojeck shared with him the reason for his being there and the man invited him for a drink. The man revealed that he knew of this secret and he would tell Rojeck all about it. So they drank and the man shared tales of his travels and Rojeck found himself getting sleepy. The man must have put something in Rojeck's drink for soon the world went dark and that was the last memory he had as a living being. He woke on a table of some kind in a body that was not his, his was in fact beside this new body. The man was smiling at him as he spoke of it being finished and now he knew the secret to Immortality. It was explained to him that he had become something called a Nuit and was now undead, he would have to take care of his new body and replace it every few years or so. The man taught Rojeck the ritual to transfer bodies and then told him that as long as he replaced his body every few years or so and took care of the one he had and it was not destroyed that he could live forever like this. He was also warned that his kind were not welcomed in most societies. Then Rojeck was let go to wander as he saw fit. Rojeck elected to remain in the Sylira area rather than return home to Taldera where the dangers were worse and no one would know him anyway since he was not in his own body. From here he spent the next century roaming the lands and switching bodies as need be. During that century he accumulated knowledge and skills choosing to follow his mother's path and take up magic. He knew that his body's frail state would not allow him to be a warrior like his father so a Mage he would become. He also was fascinated with dreams and the Chavena and would attempt to favor Nysel by becoming aware of his own chavi..he after all had eternity to learn about the dream realm. He also learned Fortune Telling from a young man who did that for a living. Thus he wandered the realm learning what he could and watched civilization begin its slow return as the races emerged from their underground safe-havens and returned to the world now changed by the Sundering. During that time he learned of the island of Sahova and the images there, he learned that they were rumored to also be Nuit and maybe he could gain some additional tutelage from them.
