Killian Forrester (DND)

BASICS

NAME: Killian Forrester

RACE: Half-Fae

CLASS: Rogue (Shadowblade)

BACKGROUND: Commoner 

ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good 

SUMMARY Left in the Cold Where they came from was no longer a concern for a beast in the night set fire to their village. Their mother not only perished in her attempt to push the boys from the house, but Killian could still hear her screams as the flames claimed her body. The boy, no older than thirteen, held his brother, Niall back from the flames. His brother wanted so badly to rush back into the flames to save her and yet...he couldn't. A New Beginning This would begin years in orphanages to which they would escape along the way until they managed to gain entry into the EvenStar University under an agreement to work the grounds.

Not much is known about Killian and his brother, Niall, before they moved into the university dorms.  In truth, he kept to himself as the stereotypical guy who hung back to the shadows, sat in the back of classes, never spoke up to answer a question, but always contemplated the material and how it would be reflected to him.   Save for his brother, Killian really didn’t speak to anyone.   That was until a  young woman spoke up, breaking his concentration one day by leaning over to ask him if he had an extra quill for hers had been broken that day. Though the why he would give the very modest woman a quill was unknown to him.  He did give a quill and still said nothing.   Then, between classes, he walked out of the course he’d been attending that morning to find a halfling burned, his body sustaining little injury, but his clothes?  Well he’d be covering himself on his rush back to his dorm.   Everyone’s eyes had been on one person- that same dark harried woman with dark eyes from his class that morning.  She was the cause. He pegged her for a caster, but this?  Oh, the halfling had been a bully. He’d witnessed it a few times and had put a stop to it, but never with…*this*.  That started a friendship that day with Maeve Ravencroft (later Maeve Stormcaller when she abandoned all family ties.) She would become the sister he never expected and in earning such a friendship, he and his brother went everywhere she did and vice versa. Cultist Invade the University He had suspected something was going on.  There had been other students who wanted to get close to him. They had noticed how he’d done well in his classes and even more so with his dagger training.  Some even whispered that he was darker than he appeared.  If they only knew, however.   They were targeting students for recruitment and Killian was quite revolted by the notion that they would want him in their ranks.  And so he showed them just how dark he could be.  He wasn’t like the other special operatives in the school. He was hiding something that even his brother knew nothing about him, but those shadows that lurked and wanted out of him would only serve him in helping in the fight to push them back. And again when they left the school to begin their fight against those very same cultists who sought to recruit him. Finding a New Home In Whitestone There was no home for Killian and his brother following their graduation from the university.  Thus, he followed their found sister once more- this time to her home in Whitestone.   The lot of them even share a home, Killian taking a room toward the back of the house near the kitchen door so that he could come and go quietly in the late hours of the night. His income? Killian took to the lute- a secret of his in the university as he was a poet. He could have excelled with the bard colleges, but he had to contain his shadows first and thus- this life of singing nightly brought him a peace of sorts… Until the next adventure comes calling.

ROLEPLAY NOTES

Additional notes to help you better keep track of and roleplay your character.

PERSONALITY

Killian is a bit of a smartass who loves to crack a little joke here and there- especially during combat.   It’s one thing he and Maeve do is exchange challenges back and forth in the middle of combat.   While he is charming, a bit of back and forth is almost all most will get from him.  He does not let many people into his inner circle as he protects his secret, as well as his sister’s secret.

FIGHTING STYLE/MAGIC CASTING

Killian is fast and quick to the point (of his daggers).  He will not hesitate when he’s fighting to take advantage of the shadows as those he’s fighting are usually going to die regardless.  If there are innocents around to be protected then he will avoid the shadows and do what he does best- stab, shoot, and smile all the while like the little chaos Fae that he is.
