Morality & Philosophy

If you die without shitting your pants at least once from fear then the death is not worth it

You have to experience stuff in order to inspire people to change

And what is a better catalyst for change than cataclysm

perfect your craft, take care of those you love, was more romantci when younger but now is more distanced to the emotional side of himself and life , prioritises new experiences over finding long term love, believes himsef to be destined for no partnership,

the new powers he has been granted by his patron has spawned a new epoch of self , somewhat hedonistic

you have to do something about your life if you want anything to happen

Taboos

mocking of the disabled and vulnerable

complacency

complaint

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Having found a new friend and a 'gust of wind' (and, let's be honest, a great temptation to try his new powers) Forlan desired to do something exciting, something that matters. Going back into Starspire Mountains wasn't really his goal at that moment, he was like 'I've always been under my father's hand and couldn't go anywhere without permission, and last 10 years... let's not talk about that, ey, Wrinkles? I finally have a chance to do whatever the hell I want!' So he took Beregost, a popular stop between Baldur's Gate and Amn, usually thriving with merchant caravans, as his destination (there really was no point in it other than "let's find something to do, they need people who solve problems right?"). Kaol'Arai didn't want to do or see anything specific yet - just the very picture of everyday life, work and social interactions filled him with joy as his friend roamed across the country. So he travelled north, along the coast, trying to earn some living by cooking in inns, chopping wood and such, also hunting for some better errands allowing him to use his newly acquired powers (he didn't want to draw unnecessary attention, so announcing himself 'a warlock to hire' was not an option). Soon enough, he saw an advert on the inn's wall - Calishite Malissiah was willing to pay good money for some battle-hardened individuals. It seemed quite bizarre since merchants were just comers and goers in Beregost - just a few days thing. Malissiah wanted a proof that Forlan is the one she seeks, but a quick telepathy trick convinced her he's more than a mere cook.

Aight folks. My name is Forlan Gwystir, but everybody just calls me Forlan (that makes sense, eh?). What am I like? I like to see things. I like to feel alive. I grew very fond of that lately, so I'm just living my life. They say one could never achieve true fulfillment without shitting their pants from fear at least once before they die. So here I am. Pants still clean as a pillow. Bring it on fellas.
