Birthday: 20, Winter, 477 A.V.
Birthplace: Kalinor
Appearance: Valdyor is similar to many Symenestra. He is long of limb and pale of skin, standing at 5' 10" and with the common, thin, light frame of his people. His hair is a cobweb grey and his eyes are the crimson red of many of his kind. He carries himself with a measure of importance, but nothing so much that would stand out in a crowd. It is a simple thing that is there from a long respect of himself and his people. He has the characteristic long black claws like nails of his people and when he smiles, his fangs become evident.
Character ConceptValdyor is a well spoken man with goals in mind. Not content to stay at home and give counsel to his elder brother and the rest of his family, he decided to try his hand at many skills. His is light frame and natural penchant for acrobatics, Valdyor's quick mind and deft fingers quickly put him on the wrong side of the law. He has a hearty respect for his people and his family. He does not cast them aside, but merely wants more out of life. He still worships Viratas and believes in many of the Symenestrian values. He simple wasn't content at home.
Valdyor may not be the most law abiding person, but he respects the world around him and the ties he may make. He doesn't accept friends or enemies with the ease of most, but once he has made one, that person is there for life. Valdyor would gladly sacrifice himself to help a friend or slay a foe and is only too glad to remind his enemies that the Symenestra's fangs are not for decoration.
Character HistoryValdyor grew up in Kalinor, the second son of a small family. His mother, as the mother's of all full blooded Symenestra's do, died in the childbirth when his venom killed her. His father kept him and he and his brother were raised by a Dhani woman who was gathered up by the Harvest, but too late for anyone to use as a surrogate. Valdyor's quickly realized his penchant for learning and began to read incessantly.
Valdyor happily gave counsel to his family, his intelligence helping him to decide what was best to say to any one person on their issues. But life soon became too little for Valdyor. He realized that, though he felt a deep bond to his people and family, he couldn't stay. Over the years, he had already gotten himself involved in small time larceny and gambling and he did not want to endanger anyone in his Web, let alone his kin. So he bid his family goodbye and set off to see the world. He studied a map before he went and settled on Zeltiva as a good place as any.
Valdyor took his meager belongings and set out, heading first to Alvadas. Here, in exchange for labor, he set aboard a ship and headed to Syliras. His journey didn't stop there however, as he accompanied a trade caravan to Zeltiva where he now has set up his home, happily taking residence within.
