Assorted Character Bios Part 1

  In this post I’ll drop some mini character bios that I have been writing for my various stories. This is stuff that comes from DnD, video games, and maybe even some stuff that you’ve seen on here before. Some of it is a little spoilery, but I write all of this stuff suuuuuuper out of order which means that some of this may not even survive a future revision. Also some of this stuff is much closer to being finished than others which is why some of it will seem incomplete/end abruptly. Besides that, nothing too complicated just going to immediately get into it. One last tangent before I start, make sure you stretch when you work out. Doesn’t matter if it’s cardio or if it’s weights, it will help and your body will thank you. This is from someone who didn’t stretch after going hard at the gym yesterday.

Hads Leppet:

If you came here from twitter, this name should be familiar to you as it is my username on that site. Hads Leppet is the “main” character of the current part of my story. As in, the time period that is the present during the times that my previous continent/culture introductions were. He was born during the era of the houses into House Leppet, a small, but powerful house that resided on the outer part of Igrax, but not quite at a place where they could be considered coastal. He received a platypus, as was tradition in the house, at a young age to be with him during his rise to the throne. Unfortunately for him, his house was attacked by their neighbors, the Osreds and the Idmaers shortly after this ceremony as part of a plot to take over the entire continent. He would go on a quest to rally the houses behind him to defeat the rebels which involved traveling to the ancient ruins of Haselnor and claiming the remains of the golden throne. Yes it did exist, but was exposed to not contain any power that it was rumored to have. Because of his journey, he would be recognized as someone who could carry the authority of the houses and with his help he would begin to unite the continent of Igrax leading into the unification wars. After the unification wars he would be approached by the Archetypes and they would entrust him with the duty of vanquishing the Aebu’s presence in the world. In battles, he prefers to lead from the front, always adorned in some kind of plate armor while wielding his trusty sword and shield. The magic he gains from being an agent of the archetypes often manifests itself as light magic which he uses for defense and healing. Somewhere up the family tree, the Leppets became iconic for their bright orange hair and long beards of which Hads is no exception. If possible, he always goes for the diplomatic solution first and only uses fighting as a last resort, this is shown during the unification wars where he spends many months trying to negotiate with the king of Phillarn before ultimately deciding that raising an army is necessary. Unfortunately, he himself was unable to leave Igrax with an heir when he died, but he was able to put honorary family members in place to ensure that his work wouldn’t go unfinished. His work and life’s goal, above all else, was to ensure the safety of the world. He took great strides to have good diplomatic relations with Tokata and the Island of Grong. He helped engineer a peaceful end to the Unification wars, even going so far as to be the first human in history to come back from the Lucid Isles alive, and having them break their isolationist ways to begin interacting with the outside world. People from all continents would end up learning his name during this time period and he would be renowned as a very effective leader.  He would continue to work towards this goal until his eventual demise at the hands of an Aebu Agent very late into his life. 

Illinessa:

Illinessa has one of the more unique backgrounds since I’ve started to work her into this world. She was originally a WoW character I played way back in 2015 and I have kept her general character idea since. Her original backstory is kinda tied to WoW’s lore so I won’t really go into that here. Her new backstory begins on the continent of Phillarn. She was born in the conflict region well after the original war, but that didn’t mean her childhood wasn’t filled with a lack of food, warm places to sleep, and losing friends to the occasional raids by the king. One night, her village fell victim to a particularly nasty raid in which the entire village was decimated. She was still barely a child at this time. Her parents were able to hide her away in the wreckage of their burning house as they were taken away, giving her at least some chance to be free. After the raid she began to go after her parent’s captors, but she could only go so far. She collapsed on the border between the conflict region and the Capital region. She would be rescued days later by an Elvish envoy from the island of Grong. They were on a trip near the border despite the King preventing them from going any further. They took some pity on her mistreatment and brought her back to the port city of Frush before trying to let her go. One member of the delegation had grown particularly attached to the little girl and secretly took her with them back to the island. From there, she was raised as if she was an elf with her caretakers using illusion magic to hide her true nature. The whole time she was aware that she was different. She aged faster than her friends and wasn’t allowed to wander too far which made her desire freedom above all else. When she was a teenager, her caretakers told her the full story of how she got to the island and that should she wish, they would send her back to the human world. Of course she chose to go back and that was where she would run into an unassuming man who went by Hads Leppet :). Some other small facts is that she naturally harbors a deep hatred to the kingdom of phillarn for taking away her old life. She has adopted many elvish mannerisms and such because of her upbringing but she remains rather hot headed and rebellious. Her magic ability was never really activated, she preferred to be more of a physical fighter anyways. Hads is one of the few humans she respects and does believe in his mission despite disagreeing that the kingdom of Phillarn deserves to be redeemed. In the current time of the story, her main goal is to find her mom who she believes is still yet she has no idea where she would be or what she looks like. Illinessa was a name given to her by the elves and she was so young when she was rescued that she cannot recall her real given name nor her family name. It’s one of her biggest regrets and she hopes to make up for it by rescuing her mother from where the king has placed her.

Obviously there are more bios, but if there is anything I’ve learned from content creation is that stretching content out is the best strat for more engagement! In all seriousness, I do want to take some time to revise a few things before posting and it is a process that takes some time so I would love to not just put out strict first drafts of things.
