~Valdar~

 

~Brief Description~

 

Valdar is a planewalker child, but recently returned to the pen from his final change. His form is that of an elf child of around 5 or 6 with flexible ears that stick up well over his head. Most of his time is spent collecting, polishing or otherwise playing with shiny objects and toys. Other times, he can be seen studying some book or the other, be it a bed time story or complex magical theory. He is almost your average child if you ignore his unusual magical abilities.

~History~

Aeons ago, Tarsanis was an Archangel driven mad by the explosion of the Spire of Damnation. After trying to summon his fallen master using black rites, his soul was torn away by a goddess protecting her people. His spirit wandered between worlds for centuries trying to find his soul and return to life.

 

Meanwhile, Valdar was born on Terra – an elf with an unusual talent for black magic and a periodic illness that would incapacitate him for weeks with strange dreams and visions. He first made contact with the dreamer after summoning something that tore three drow assassins apart and left him wandering in the garden stark naked.

 

You dont want to know. Really.

 

In any case, that started his apprenticeship with the Dreamer. Valdar was forced to confront the spirit of Tarsanis, who wanted his soul back and succeeded in destroying the dread spirit once and for all. Several years of self learning followed, with occasional lessons with his master and an extended visit to Norrath.

 

Valdar was finally tested by the Dreamer in June, 2455. His old body was destroyed, and his current form forged in the raw fires of creation and destruction. He has aged little since then.

~Personality~

Valdar is very open and trusting of familiar members of the Pen. Adults are automatically “uncle” or “auntie” and gets along well with all the other children (The sole exception is Minta, who stays away from him fearing boy cooties). He is also very free with his magical abilities and treats everyone as his equal or better. When it comes to planar and outsiders, Valdar thinks of celestials as friends, and abyssals as pets.

~Abilities~

 

In addition to his magical and planewalking abilities, Valdar is an expert in the art of ear-speak and fighting. He is somewhat proficient with a blade in his hands as educated by uncle Gyrfalcon but is by no means a master.

~Items~

 

1 x Katana (Saido) – A gift from Kitanue. This was her previous master’s sword, a powerful planar artifact of good that reflects white fire in the blade.

 

2 x Crystal Earblades – These are mounted on Valdar’s ears when he wanders the paths, and cut through most materials easily. They can be thrown in a returning arc.

 

??? x Shinies – Valdar usually carries a number of shinies around with him for various purposes.

 

??? x Toys – Valdar has an extensive toy collection, which he adorns with shinies (or _are_ shinies themselves). Amoung these, a set of Planewalker action figures which he sets up for mock battles. “Uncle Dreamer” usually wins.

~Other~

Valdar usually just curls up on the couch in the cabaret room when tired, but his quarters at the Pen are fairly extensive. It contains a doorway to the Astral, housing for a number of angelic caretakers, a fake Holy Grail and Waterlilly, which guards and polishes his Shiny collection.

 

Bubble is Valdar’s mount, a 9 foot tall demon footsoldier. The little elf usually sits astride its neck and holding on to the horns. Two people can ride Bubble if one sits on each shoulder.

 

Kitanue is Valdar’s herald and guardian, with her own description post.
