Reverend Saul Caralon PERSONAL INFORMATION Full Name: Saul Caralon APPEARANCE Race: Human Description: The clothes that he usually wears consists of a uniform, black cloth with bright golden accents stitched lovingly into the fabric. The cloak he wears has magical properties woven into it – protections from harm who might see him as a tool to be used against the church he so loves. STATS Mind: 20 ASSOCIATES Companions: Clerics, Acolytes, and Elders of the church COMBATSpecial Attacks: Like a monk, Saul has been trained in hand to hand combat, and can fight unarmed. He tries to use attacks that will disarm and subdue. And he always uses blunt weapons or his hands in combat. In combat Simon tends to rely on his martial art skills to take out opponents. Special Defenses: None Magic: Clerical spells which include healing, summoning light and fire, and turning undead. Most of these spells are flashy and have an element of light to them. Healing includes heat. Teleporting includes light. Sol’s clerics are proud and bold, that is reflected in their spells. Psionics: None Special Abilities: Highly charismatic, he is well known in the City of Gates as the Rising Ambassador for the Radiant Temple of the Sun. His reputation is known across town. The Temple’s reputation too, both good and bad, can taint the reaction of anyone before he’s ever met them.
EQUIPMENTWeapons & Armor: Simon has been given access to several magical items from the church. Quarterstaff of Purity: This fighting staff was given to Simon upon his inauguration into the order of Sunlords. Made of solid redwood with ends capped in iron, one end of the staff has a 2″ diameter golden ring at the tip. This ring has four smaller rings locked into it that can be used to entangle an opponent’s weapon. Once per day the staff can cast Circle of Purity. This powerful spell casts in a 20′ diameter radius around the staff. Starting at the ground and working upward in a sphere, golden sunlight warms every surface. Anything and everything inside this conjured sunbeam is purified. While it does nothing but warm the living, all blood, mold, and filth are turned into pure water. To recharge the staff, Saul needs to take it outside during the noon hour. Sunlord Cloak: This cloak is black with gold stitched accents. Upon the back of the cloak is a pair of gold eyes surrounded by the outline of a sun. It acts like a cloak of protection against the elements. Holy Symbol: On a black leather cord around his neck hangs his holy symbol, that of a golden sun. His most treasured possession, he is never seen without it. Always slightly warm to the touch, it is a connection to his god. It helps him cast spells and turn undead.
HISTORYReverend Saul Caralon is seen as a gift to the church of Sol, a truly charismatic leader with a presence that can guide the Temple of the Radiant Sun into the new era. Surrendered to the Radiant Temple of the Sun as a baby, he was raised in the temple. The clergy are his parents, the people are his brethren. He was taught to fight and to lead, and has grown into the uniform of the Sunlord without hesitation. It is his life, and he gladly accepts it. |
UPDATES:
The updates section contains spoilers for where the character is headed.
Please don’t read the comments section unless you want to know information about where the character is headed.
While he never looked for information on his birth parents, information was given to him anyway. He has learned that he was given the name Simon Leger by his birth parents, and it was changed to Saul Caralon by the Elders of the temple that took him in when he was a baby. The Elders of the temple told him that his birth parents still lived as faithful members of the church, but he discovered this lie, and in fact his birth parents are both deceased.
The revelation of these lies has created a tumultuous relationship between Simon Caralon and the Temple of the Radiant Sun. Though he knows the Temple and the people of Auvrynon need him to remain the faithful servant, he can’t deny that it is difficult to follow a temple that has falsified a life for him. Where do the lies stop? For a time he rebelled against the men that raised him, but now he has decided it is his calling to return the Temple of the Sun to its deserved glory. Sol deserves nothing less but a temple that is pure in thought and deed. It is his destiny.
