Varrolan Loch

[Varrolan]

Varrolan Loch Appearance Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 21 Birthday: 12, Autumn, 495. Birthplace: Syliris (Mithryn Outpost) Appearance: Unremarkable in height and weight, Varrolan stands at 5'10'' and weighs in at around 165lbs. Like most people raised on a sparse diet, Varrolan's build is lean and not nearly as muscular as he'd like to think. Blessed (or cursed) with an open face, he is as quick to smile as he is to frown and will never leave anybody in any doubt as to his current mood. Character Concept The middle child, with older brothers and younger sisters, Varrolan has grown up with a strong competitive streak and yearns to be noticed. He probably spends too much time worrying about looking good rather than being good and will generally put himself first ahead of others....though he at least has the good grace to feel guilty about it. Varrolan has always loved a good story and has grown up hearing a great many about both the wonderful and awful things wrought by magic in Mizahar. He is duly terrified of magic and distrustful of those who wield it. Having spent most of his life in the relatively secluded Mithryn Outpost, he has not had any meaningful interactions with people from other races. His mother being half Inarta, he considers himself quite tolerant of all humans and their sub races...but he can be quite the ignorant bigot when it comes to the other, non-human races. Setting aside the ambition and 'good-natured, casual, fun loving racism' he does generally try to do the right thing. He is fiercely loyal and would never do anything to betray his friends. Character History A history of Varrolan is a history of his family. His parents both moved to Mithryn Outpost when Varrolan's oldest brother was born and the family has lived there ever since. His father, a groom and stablehand is a simple, mild mannered man who taught all of his children to how to ride a horse. His mother, by stark contrast is fiery and passionate, traits she inherited from her father, an Inarta from Wind's Reach. Having settled with her husband in the relatively quiet Outpost, she now crafts bows and fletches arrows for the Order. She took great pride in teaching her children how to use those bows to hunt. Growing up as a middle child, with three older brothers and three younger sisters, Varrolan had plenty to keep him busy. He and his brothers were always sneaking out with their mother's bows, practising and competing with one another on anything they could find, from sacks of grain to stray birds. During the day, he and his brothers and sisters would either help their dad in the stables, or their mother in her shop. Five years ago, in the Djed Storm of 512, Varrolan lost the younger of his three older brothers, Amos and his youngest sister, Ireana. Ever since then, his mother has been fiercely protective of her five remaining children. Varrolan himself was forbidden from joining the Order until he was older. The years went by and one by one his two remaining older brothers made themselves useful, becoming a hunter and stable-hand respectively. Even his two younger sisters were becoming more useful than him in his mother's shop. Every year he would beg his parents to let him join the Order and it has only been now, with the coming of Spring in 517 that they have relented.
