Specialized Equipment

Jaspyr plays a simple cittern, as his instrument. It is made of ironwood, so it is hardened to accidental damage. He also has a small drum and pan pipes, but his favored way to perform is to sing or chant.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Jaspyr is a young Foxkin, that was born shortly after the The Chaos Wars ended. He was with the people that survived the Wars and so he trained to be a Knight Errant in order that he could help those in need. The survivors were in need for many years after the war.

He joined the Order of the Shield, to help in the best way he knew how. He was tormented by the other Lycan throughout his training, as they didn't consider him to be worthy of the position that he trained for. They considered him weak because of his size. His foxkin side gave him other abilities that gave him an edge that his size and weaker strength couldn't.

Education

He grew up in the Lycan society, they are a warrior-based society. His size caused him problems, so he was constantly at a disadvantage with his peers in training and afterwards.

Employment

He went through the normal weapons training for all the youths, but his Charisma also helped with his ballads that he mostly used his fellows as heroes in.

Intellectual Characteristics

He is smart but is often lacking in common sense. This makes him brash, with little care for his own life.

Morality & Philosophy

He puts others welfare over his own and embodies the Code of Chivalry.

Taboos

He will not kill an unarmed opponent (this doesn't pertain to pugilists and monks). A fair fight above all.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

He is searching for a way to prove himself to others. Jaspyr also likes to write songs about his adventures, his deeds, and ones that he witnesses about others.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

The Code of Chivalry is the foundation on that he bases his life, he took an Oath of Chivalry. He tries to be the best knight that he can be, but he is still learning. Jaspyr is young, impatient, brash, and overconfident, he is brave to a fault, rushes into battle with no regard for his own safety. His dog, Brutus is still in training as well, so is timid, and is untried in any large battles.

Nice read. He seems like quite a talent for mastering that number of instruments and also being a good warrior :) You mention that he lived in a lycan society and I was wondering if foxkin are common there or that he really is an outsider there?

Feel free to check my new world Terra Occidentalis if you want to see what I am up to!

There are great details throughout this. One thing I'm still wondering about is based on the last sentence of the first paragraph. It reads "In most things, he is the perfect knight, but because of his size, temperament, and his mount." That "but" has me feeling like there's more to this sentence, something where you're going to explain the ways in which he's not a perfect knight.   At any rate, you've done great work!

Now it's time for the awkward wave.

Nice article, But if I may, I got a question, you list his age as 6, how old do foxkin get?

small editing bit "searching for those to protect those who need it" makes him seem like a recruiter, as opposed to "searching for those that need protecting" or "protecting those that need it." As eccbooks said the next sentence seems to be left hanging.   Good job overall though. i could see this appearing in a campaign as an NPC with the details you have provided.

Feel free to stop by some of my WorldEmber articles if you want. My favorites are The Book of the Unquiet Dead, Outpost of the Moons, and The Emerald Hills. Feedback is always appreciated.

It's a nice article. I really like the details you give in his clothing, and also in his code of honour, particularly the details about respect, which tie the two bits together and create consistency.   In addition to being a good knight, I understood from the Employment section that he wrote ballards about his fellow heroes, It would be cool to know if his musical talents were widely known, and if so what people's general impression of it were.   Nice job :)


I've written my first challenge entry => #BardChallenge <=, any feedback welcome :)

Interesting. Jaspyr seems like a fun character. I'd love to see more of his "bard"y traits, like what kind of music he plays and all.

If you're seeing this, I may have used your article for my 2023 Reading Challenge.

Nice character :D What specific traits does he has from being a bard? Does he play music or is it something else?
