Name: Werner Laiter
Pronouns: he/him
Age: 31
Height: 6’2”
Race: Human
Class: Paladin (Oath of Redemption)
Background: Soldier
Alignment: Lawful Good
- Personality -
Honest • Compassionate • Intuitive • Idealistic • Sensitive • Blunt
The definition of a gentle giant, Werner is cheerful, friendly and sympathetic to pretty much anyone he meets. A nervous, self-conscious kid while growing up due to his size, it’s clear he became soft-spoken and highly empathetic to compensate for his intimidating looks.
While his optimism (he genuinely believes everyone can be a good person) and selflessness can be regarded as naivety and have others see him as the stereotypical Lawful Stupid paladin, Werner’s intuition makes him very good at sensing what others are thinking or feeling, and he isn’t afraid of speaking his mind about anything. Anything. He’ll never be aggressive, but the straightforward way that he goes about it is often scary enough all by itself.
A sensitive soul, he has a hard time letting go of feelings and can be over-emotional (do not yell, he will cry). His stance against violence and open conflict can sometimes come off avoidant as he’ll take too long to accept when a fight is inevitable. Extremely altruistic, Werner will become a human shield if he has to, and he will never leave anyone behind no matter what they have done.
- History -
Werner was born in Gedham, a big city far north of Lumivaara, and his family has a long line of servitude to the Law. Werner chose the soldier route (a popular choice among his brothers) and received military training up until the events of the Surge brought conflict in the region and he was drafted for war.
His idealism was poorly fit for the battlefield and it didn't take long before he was wounded and had to return home. He spent a few years in quiet affairs, travelling and studying, until his younger brother's death in battle made Werner turn his attention back to his ideals. After the funeral, he sworn his fate to the gods and took his Oath under his brother's shield, becoming a wandering Paladin and ending up in Lumivaara through his family's contacts.
The magic in Lumivaara has been rather overwhelming for Werner, not only its use in daily life but also his own awakened magic through his divine oath. Old and new allies have been gathering in the city, but it's been almost one year since Andrew's gone... a trip to visit hometown is on the plans
Non-TLDR version in the full application
- Trivia -
Very attached to his family. Needs to visit them every once in a while or homesickness kicks in.
History nerd, with a soft spot for ancient cultures and their crafts, such as weapons and armoury. Prone to stop during a dungeon run to check the broken shield on the corner and wonder where that’s from.
Loves tea and has a minor tea brewing hobby. He likes to brew different blends based on the people he meets.
Despite his oath, “love redeems” is a trope he learned not to rely on – he has a line of terrible ex-boyfriends. Will talk about it in great detail if probed.
