Shl'Drei As A Whole

Hmm, where to start... Ah, Shl'Drei was an impulsively made character with hastily strewn together details! He was my outlet for transitioning to a new site, but because I didn't think him through I quickly lost my muse for him- hence my two year gap in posting. I wanted something quick and easy, and Shl'Drei was convenient at the time. Beast tamer? Hella cool, lets go with that! Lets skim lore because we're lazy as sh**. Well, that ended poorly and as a result I abandoned ST. Coming back was an impulse too, but I need a way for my time to spill and people to specialize with. Logging in caused me great cringe- reading the few things I wrote riddled with spelling errors (ones that could've been fixed with proof reading mind you) and a contradictory character elements. That said, when I came back Shl'drei's concept was lost to me. What purpose did he serve? What story did I tell through him? So now I'm reevaluating him here lol.

At his core Shl'Drei is a extrovert, though he has introverted tendencies - He loves interacting and being sociable while at the same time remaining closed off and guarded. He's meant to be approachable and kind. He is also meant to be careful with who he gives his trust/loyalty, as he believes its earned, not automatically given. Why does he think that? His father was a cruel man. When he was growing up his father treated him like the immortals only gift - he saw his legacy and his reputation in Shl'Drei, not a child with his own dreams/needs/goals. Shl'Drei thought him the perfect being until he developed his personal sense of right in wrong. He trusted his father - but Azeraj broke that trust and stomped on it. He's meant to be a more passive PC, Shl'Drei. I want a normal approach - someone who's ordinary but gets pushed into the not so ordinary in slow steps while resisting the whole way. What is Shl'Drei resisting? Mostly the thought that he's his fathers son and will become his mirror image? Not clear yet on this one. He needs to feel like his own person, he wants to be better but separate form his fathers reputation. So does he disown the Novatt name? Not exactly. He wants no part of his fathers ways, yes. But he also longs to feel connection to 'family', clinging to the hope there's a place he belongs even when it doesn't seem like the right place morally.

He's a typical human honestly - he's a (intentional) contradiction. No person is simply one way - we have beliefs that clash with morals and such. Shl'Drei's no different. So what story does he tell? Still figuring that out, but it's something (at the moment anyway) about being ones own person, and the value in it. Maybe even a mixture with changing the expectation that comes with family legacy. Again, strive for him to cling to his sense of normality while simultaneously being forced away from said norm. So what are his beliefs then? Every creature and/or person is worthy of respect unless they prove otherwise. People judge right in wrong with their own eyes, it's not something that's taught but something that's gained through experience. He values honesty and life - though he has views on life worth, and while it seems he leans more towards every life is precious he is not above taking it (and feeling guilty later). So what is his current concept/mixture/etc? I'm going to pretend that he only recently started feeling the effects of getting his father killed (psyke, he's alive, not that shl knows). I want him to question himself. I want him to look at parts inside himself he's suppressed- his temper/anger, his mother, his guilt, his sadness, and his regret. Essentially he'd be a walking mass of angst. Does killing his father mean he's similar to the man? Is he becoming what he didn't like in his father? What, if anything, would lead to the 'redemption' he's seeking? -shrug-


Alignment: Chaotic Good (Chaotic Neutral Undertones)
Fitting Archetypes: The Everyman, The Caregiver, The ruler(?)

Character Plausible Occupations:

• Animal Trainer
• Hunter
• Bounty Hunter
• Bodyguard
• Ranger

Religious Views: He's more neutral leaning, paying respects to Karem, Ashan, Daia, Qylios, and Moseke. His primary immortals are Karem and Moseke, with the remaining following secondary in no order. His views on immortals are basic- he feels like they should be respected for their power, much like wild beasts should. Though he reserves judgment of them by experience - if he deems a immortal 'evil' he won't advocate for them or anything similar, but the rest he will be more open to despite not caring much either way.

General Notes:

• His speech is semi-causal
• Tends to make eye contact
• Very physically expressive

Capstones

Animal Training

Creature Friend: At his core, Shl'drei is a lover. Maybe his time in hostile environments makes him more empathic, or perhaps his distaste for mistreatment is what drives him. Either way, Shl'drei is determined to see the best in animals that others deem hostile or unapproachable. For this, animals that Shl'drei comes across will be more amenable to being trained, tamed, or approached by him. Animals with volatile temperaments will be more open to being around him or will recognize his kindness and leave him alone, while docile or timid animals will see him as a non-threat and may even approach him themselves.

Animal Husbandry

Limitless: The animals cared for by Shl’drei are always well treated and equally loved. He gets them the best food and anything he can afford to make their lives enjoyable and healthy. In return, these animals he’s cared for will give their all for him in any situation. They can stave off starvation, fatigue and thrive at peak ability as long as they breathe, slowing only when they are near death in almost any environment, hostile or not.*Credit to woe for granting me his capstone <3
