Champion

The Lancer (a.k.a. Champ)

A hero of old, risen to save the people of Havenfield after centuries of slumber. Amnesiac and rather quiet, but a flame of justice burns deep within his soul, driving him to help and protect those in need. Part skeleton, part ceremonial wax, Champion's original species is unknown.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Champion's somewhat rushed awakening resulted in a less-than-excellent physical condition, though the magic keeping his bones and skeleton bound and functioning is still strong. Due to carrying his lance and shield on his back, his posture is somewhat slouched. Champion's bones are all meticulously kept and coated with a thin layer of wax, though not all of the bones are originally his. Only his spine, ribcage and skull are original, the rest are donated from former priests. His legs from the knee down are mostly Mountain Drake bones. The ceremonial wax used to awaken him is primarily concentrated on his skull and ribcage.

Body Features

Bones are a pale, ghostly teal and coated with wax. Spine is coated with a layer of gold and laced with a spell to allow Champion to change his weight at will, often using it to anchor himself to the ground to fortify his defenses. Hands are tipped with somewhat blunt, worn claws and legs are made partially from Mountaineer bones.

Facial Features

Champion's face has a remarkably humanoid structure and is coated with a thin layer of wax to allow him to emote. Parts of his face, like the cheeks and nose, are completely missing, and Champion has a pair of sharp canines coated with gold and a localized spell that emulates a tongue and allows him to speak.

Physical quirks

Somewhat hunched posture due to the weight of his weapon pulling him downwards as he walks. Center of gravity is lower in the spine. The odd mixture of plantigrade and digitigrade bones on his legs cause a somewhat awkward walking gait.

Special abilities

The specialized spell of gravity magic localized in his spine lets Champion change his weight at will, and he uses it to make himself heavier and near-immovable to strengthen his shield while guarding from attacks.

Apparel & Accessories

Lightweight linen/silk blend sleeves with poofiness to them that attach somewhere beneath the cream wax pouring through the slats of an oversized knight's gorget on his chest, and dark red pants made of the same poofy but lightweight fabric. Champion doesn't wear any shoes and walks barefoot.

Specialized Equipment

Champion carries with him a shield made from the lid of his ceremonial coffin as well as a lance resembling a copiously large, rusty railroad spike.

Mental characteristics

Morality & Philosophy

Champion has an extremely strong sense of justice and would violently reject any plans or actions that would involve the loss of life of an innocent. He's a defender by nature, never attacking unless he or the people he's protecting are in danger.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Champion doesn't remember much if anything at all from his life before his awakening, likely due to the ritual being slightly rushed. However, he remembers his one true purpose: helping those in need and protecting the people of Havenfield.

Likes & Dislikes

Champion seems quite endeared by tea cups and likes collecting them.

Virtues & Personality perks

Champion is rather quiet and gentle, with a strong sense of justice to boot. He's curious towards the world around him and is eager to learn more about it.

Vices & Personality flaws

Champion's unshakable sense of justice can sometimes hinder him as well - he refuses to even consider a plan of action that would result in the harm or death of an innocent life, but sees no problem in sacrificing himself for the greater good.

Social

Social Aptitude

Champion's quiet and gentle demeanor can get almost anyone to quickly warm up to him, and his presence can be described as almost soothing.

Mannerisms

Due to the initial language barrier between Champion and the people he meets after his awakening, he has some slight trouble speaking Common - he learns it quite fast, however, even if he does often pause before saying anything to mentally translate his words beforehand.

Eyes

Dull golden sclera with dark irises, seem perpetually droopy and tired.

Hair

Made of reddish-orange wax, falls past the shoulders.

Height

5'6"

Weight

90 lbs

Known Languages

Champion is a fast learner, which is useful considering he's been asleep for several millennia and couldn't speak Common after his awakening. He is fluent in several ancient languages.
