Gavriil

Gavriil is a human bard and adventurer played by Dusty.

Appearance
Gavriil is a tall, muscular human with long black hair and dark blue eyes. His hair has streaks of white coming in, and usually has a loose bun at the crown of his head. He has a short beard that is similarly colored. He typically wears purple clothing with cinches that can be tightened or loosened depending on his needs. He wears knee-high purple boots, and his outfit has many pale yellow accents. The first thing most people notice about him, however, is his cape: the outside is a dark purple, while the inside is a sunset gradient from yellow at his shoulders to orange by his feet. His cape can be seen waving in the wind behind him at all times,

Physically, he can almost always be seen fidgeting with something, usually a knife. His hands give this way, with small nicks and scars clearly visible on them. When there's nothing in his hands, he'll still be found fidgeting, twitching, or tapping his feet.

Personality
Gavriil seems like a confident, self-assured person. He is not known to hesitate in most situations, and prefers to be seen as in-control of the situations he participates in. He seems good-natured and happy when with most people, and has been known to smile even in the face of hostility. He also appears to have a terrible fear of the dark.

Background
Gavriil claims to have been born and raised in Asarius. He has said that his father is a member of Den Olios, and has appeared to be on good terms with the guards of the Aurora Hold, in addition to other members of Den Olios. He has also claimed his father was consecuted, and that he'd come back to Asarius to "re-introduce" himself.

He claims to have not been back to Asarius in thirty years.

At some point, he was an acolyte of the Luxon for a number of years.

Gavriil has also stated that he was in a performing group for a majority of his time away from Asarius, where he played the villain in most mock-combats. He has said that the group has no official name. He spoke about how he'd had multiple fighting partners, but one favorite.

When he returned to Asarius, he received a mission from Lady Olios, but went looking for a party to go on it with him.

Current Arc
Gavriil introduced himself to the party by jumping into a pit in the Four Corners and fighting both Kroosh and Lena Copperleaf at the same time. After losing very quickly, he congratulated them on a fight well fought, and asked if they'd be willing to accompany him on a mission. After quick up-front bribe (at the insistence of Nyx Amaryllis) Gavriil coaxed the party into going to the Aurora Hold with him, where they agreed to go on the mission together.

Soon after leaving Asarius, Gavriil attempted to cast Dispel Magic on Merric, at which point Nyx immediately cast Darkness, causing Gavriil to panic and reveal his fear of the dark. After learning of Merric's status as a dragon, Gavriil attempted to make amends in the party by providing them with shelter overnight using magic. Gavriil insisted on staying inside of his tent once night came, saying he was too scared of the dark to be outside during watches.

When they arrived at the military base tree and received a map, Gavriil revealed that he'd returned to Asarius to re-introduce himself to his father, and expressed his desire to help recover the beacons that the Empire stole from the Dynasty by furthering the Dynasty's war efforts. He expressed little interest in consecution, commenting that if it happened he'd be happy, but it wasn't his main goal.
