Chapter 7

Jaegran Jamindyr's Role
.
::Synopsis::
.
* Jaegran's mission in life is to earn the reputation of being
the greatest adventurer of all time. Yes, this is probably
unobtainable, but Jaegran thinks big and is egotistical enough
to firmly believe that he'll one day accomplish this.
* Jaegran knew he'd be a bard one day. He got the idea
listening to his father's tales. While his father was not a
bard, he was quite good at telling stories, and had a keen
memory for gossip. Everyone in Darsylon knew they could get
the scoop from him. Jaegran was musically gifted and began
playing the mandolin as a novelty at parties. He loved the
attention he would get from playing his music, and it quickly
turned into one of his life's obsessions.
* Jaegran is enthusiastic, to the point that he sometimes
forgets others around him. This may make him look a bit glib
or conceded from time to time. He has a warm heart, but can
very easily get caught up in his own mind.
* Jaegran writes fervently, favoring epic tales of ancient
adventurers he so admires. He also likes to use humor to
make a point. He loves to perform, and always has something
on the ready to entertain with at the drop of a hat. He
wishes to perform with the best entertainers in Thera, the
Heralds of the Eternal Star.
* Jaegran has an insatiable thirst for knowledge. It only
makes sense that to be the greatest adventurer of all time,
you'd have to study the successes and losses of past heroes
and emulate their lives for a time. He sometimes gets so
into his work, he forgets to eat and has more than once been
found asleep on his notebook. One of his hopes in life is to
write a work that will be kept in the Lyceum.
* Jaegran's heart is governed by passion. He sees his
passion as the language of joy, and the drive that fuels his
spirit. He believes that his passion has been granted to him
by the gods, and seeks to give thanks in worship to the
immortal Arvam Raenau. He wishes greatly for the mentorship
of Lord Arvam, and hopes to one day bear the mark of a diamond
ringed by multi-hued stars.
* Jaegran's mother died when he was young. His father, being
quite the ladies man himself, courted a female human who became
a new mother to Jaegran. Being human, she passed away a short
40 years later. Jaegran since has been a bit shy about forming
relationships with humans, as their lives are brief, and his
pain at his adopted mother stinging. The experience taught him
one positive thing however. Life is short in retrospect, and
there is much he needs to do before his day finally wanes.
And with that, he signed on to the Academy, to become a Bard.
The rest of Jaegran's tale will be written in first person
perspective as a journal entry.
