In their continual development, heroes can often find inspiration or guidance in the most unlikely of places. A cleric of Pelor draws obvious inspiration from each sunrise, but what isn't known is her affinity for the element of fire, believing that it reflects the nature of her faith and leads her to be bold in professing her god's teachings. A mighty warlord is hardened by war, believing he should be as enduring as the steel of his sword. But he also trusts in the stars to guide him, seeking the stillness of their passage across the night sky before every battle.   Your prompt for this subject is a simple one: what is a symbol, element, person, place, or thing that your character identifies with or draws inspiration from?   For example: Victor is a psionic warrior who believes his mind and his marksmanship are his greatest weapons. As such, he finds strength in the falcon for its ability to observe and strike from up high, but also wolves for their ability to work as a team and overcome their foes.   Kaileena is an attractive bard who uses charm and guile to secure her desires, but she also feels most herself when contemplating the ocean and the vast mysteries contained in its depths. She wishes to emulate a wayfaring captain who sailed to every corner of the seas and found all their was to be found.   Whatever the element, creature, or concept, relay those reflections of your character with a few sentences, a paragraph, or a short story if so inspired. Happy writing!
