Talk:Lysander Tharr

Records

Appearance

Lysander is a young caucasian male, about 5'3", with blonde hair and green eyes. Attractive, and slim enough to be mistaken as a girl, he dresses in a variety of outfits notable for the geometric patterns that cover them. Often these patterns are hidden, with only parts showing making his clothing interesting, but not obvious. However, in a pinch he can use these patterns as alchemic foci as needed.

Goals

1. Recover lost legend lore (Raise Library Background)

2. Gather acolytes to the cause (Cult/Allies)

3. Construct materials to ensure victory over the enemies of the Solificati (Be a matter mage, build shitloads of stuff)

Personality

Lysander is a curious, energetic young man with a thirst for knowledge. Self-confident, he nevertheless can get in too deep and has to rely on those close to him to support him. While usually self reliant, he tends to gather allies to him- people who believe in the things he does, or just like him for being a kind soul. Lysander is a skilled strategist, and a charismatic leader- one who leads through skill and force of personality rather than inherited rank or fear. Lysander makes friends easily, and often inspires those close to him to better themselves.

Leopold Falkner

Filled with clutter of unsorted stuff
a spark can set a man ablaze. What’s there
heaped high among stored rubbish at a puff
will burst in flame. No man can be aware
oh how inflammable he is, how prone
to what can rage beyond control, unless
the piled up litter of his life is known
to him, and he is able to assess
what hazard he is in, what could ignite.
A man, disordered and undisciplined,
lives in the peril of a panic flight
before the onrush of a flaming wind.
Does it now seem I seek to be profound?
I stand on smoking ash and blackened ground!

~ Dorsha Hayes, Alchemist.

History

Leopold Falker is a former Consor to House Solificati, servant of the Order of Hermes, and an experienced soldier. At the age of sixty five, he maintains a corporate front for the House, and manages its mundane activities. However, for all his success in life, he has been unable to produce an heir. Taking to alternate measures, he searched through the local orphanages for a child with the spark- the wit and keen mind that would make for an ideal heir. In time, he found such a child, a boy he adopted and named Lysander. Putting the child through school, Leopold watches as his adopted son sets out on his own path. While Leopold offers what help he can, he usually maintains a hands off approach to his adopted son.
