Personality Characteristics
Brave is a fast person and will always try his best to perfom well atheletically. He trains every day he can to improve this ability. Brave will not however boast this and has often lost races on purpose as not to upset
Mystan Rhogar after his first victory caused quite the tantrum.
Brave is quite the cook and always cooks food for the team while they are away from base. He cooks with the help of
Damu Ubo, who helps him pick out spices and local foods from where they are staying.
Brave struggles with lowering his walls about his personal life with much of his closer friends, and much of his history is still unknown to even
Alpha Team. With some help from
Damu Ubo and
Alana Pruder, who have been working on opening up both him and
Meribel Lahasha.
Brave loves food and cooking. He also enjoys running and meditating. He goes on meditation trips with
Damu Ubo and they discuss in detail their faiths, religion, theology, and cooking. More recently he has been jogging and running with
Mystan Rhogar to help him build endurance.
Brave isnt a fan of water, or rushing into things. When he was first starting to get to know
Alpha Team they (
Rhogar) held a party to introduce each other and he found that it pushed him away from the group even further. Brave isn't fond of large social gatherings and would much rather get to know and discuss with people by himself or in small groups.
Brave often disagree's with people who follow faith's outside of the
Faerûnian Pantheon and does so purely because they arent following his faith. This has lead to a number of altercations and arguments from Brave and
Alpha Team will try to hide some peoples faiths from him to stop this.
Brave tries his best to avoid water and will shudder and be very twitchy when touching water. He is much more easily spooked as the feeling of water on his skin puts him on edge. Brave has asked for
Alpha Team to adjust their course to purposely avoid water, but he will interract with water and can cope with water if need be.
Brave is known to be spotted in his room at
Ardent Keep, grooming his fur and skin during his downtime. His shiny skin can be seen in the sun. He can also be spotted in the courtyard, towers, and fields soaking up the sun on lazy warm days.
Social
Most of Brave's contacts and realtions he has are within his church and clan. His clan lives within the jungles of
Chult and
Port Nyanzaru. He sends some support to his clan and has worked to support them and keeps in close contact. He also has a number of contacts in the church of
Torm.
Most of Brave's contacts on the
Sword Coast are either the members of
Alpha Team of which there is a mutual respect and care for each other among the members.
Brave maintains close contact with his family and has good relations with most of them.
Brave is a paladin of
Torm and has devoted his life to him. He believes in peace and patience as an oath of redemption paladin. Brave has mentioned his beliefs to contrast and obect much of the brash and reckless decision making of
Alpha Team's leader
Mystan Rhogar.
Brave has difficulty speaking Common and has some rather strange behaviour and customs he has learnt in
Chult. Despite his difficulty with common he is still rather charasmatic and persuasive when he needs to be.
Whilst his
Chultan mannerism are very obvious, he is still confident in what he says and only speaks when he truly believes what he is saying. He thinks through every word he is saying and will not be spoken over.
Brave, hence the name, is known for his bravery and detirmination. He, is always willing to put his own life before others and will put himself before others in almost every regard. He wont run away without reason and will help anyone who is willing to fight alongside him. His detirmination and drive to fufill the teachings of Torm are very strong and not much will stop him from completing any task he is given and agrees with.
Brave is stubborn especially when it comes to faith and morals. He rarely changes his mind and will only do so with relation to the teachings of Torm. He will listen to other paladins and priests and respects their opinions above anyone elses.
History
They became aquaintances as they began to work at the Ardent in 1492 DR. Brave kept to himself and didn't open up to anyone outside of Alpha Team untill recently, and has started to work on being friendly to Valna. Valna has always been awkwardly friendly to all her coworkers and Brave has recently tried to reciprocate. This was also helped by the mutual respect earned by fighting side by side during The Battle of Menzoberranzan
History
They were introduced to one another as Brave began working at the Ardent in 1492 DR. Brave has respect for her, however is weary of her belief in the Seldarine. He still understands her importance in the organisation and her reliability. Sariel recognises his effort in working out and has taken to watching him run, train, and sun bathe on occasion. She appreciaties his ability to be relaxed around her and reliable.
Brave's wealth is rather minimal. He keeps money only to cover things he needs on a weekly basis. He donates the rest of the money he earns to the chuch of Torm and his expedition.
