Orion Venrie
The Hero of Beckinsale
Orion Venrie
Although it has been over 10 years since people have last seen Orion Venrie, they can speak about his legend as if he visited them yesterday. He is the bard that saved the people on the coast of the Harmonious Deep (now named Beckinsale) and made sure to lead them to safe settlements on the islands with his ship, the Beckinsale. Different people have different tales of Orion, but the tale of his heroic act has always remained the same. Nobody knows where he resides today, but some adventurers have claimed to have spotted the half-elf bard on their quests, but with no proof of his existence.
Physical Description
Body Features
His body is slender, slim and very willowy. Orion doesn't have a very muscly form, but is very dexterous and graceful in his movements.
Facial Features
Orion has always had a very slim face, which looks almost feminine with his fine facial features. He also looks very young and attractive.
Identifying Characteristics
He is very recognizable by his neatly trimmed curly beard. He also never goes out without his green hat, which has two white feathers and two golden rings pierced through the brim. Some people say he even sleeps with his hat on.
Physical quirks
People often saw Orion use both his left and right hand as for handedness, sometimes debating if he is left- or right handed or just ambidextrous.
Apparel & Accessories
He typically wears his green hat as described before. He also wears a beige with green bard's outfit with a burgundy and gold cape. His boots are thigh high and have gold detailing on them. He is also never seen without his lute, which is made of a maple wood with a burgundy strap.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
A ship from a renound bard named Orion came to the settlement, looking to see if he could take passengers to the islands. Seeing the people in despair, Orion decided to stay behind and lend his crew to the people that needed it the most. Instead, he started to perform and organize performances for people to see at night, to make them somewhat forget of the desperate times they were in.
After two of months, around half of the people managed to get to the islands, while others decided to stay as living conditions became much better. Orion eventually had to leave with his crew, but he and Jonathan Faylare helped built the settlement to grow into what it has become now. The cleric became mayor of the town called the settlement from now on Beckinsale - the name of the ship Orion is sailing on as of today.
Employment
At first, Orion was a wanderer. He made coin with performances and sometimes even picked up some quests to help other out. But through his passion of the sea, he got together his own crew and ship. Orion owns his own ship, which is named the Beckinsale. He sailed around to different locations to perform and explore the world, but eventually found a place where he stayed for a couple of months, to lend out his crew. Nobody knows if Orion is still sailing around with the Beckinsale, althrough rumors of his sightings are spreading like wildfire.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Besides being the literal hero of Beckinsale, some other people have recounted his other accomplishment: Orion has successfully told a joke and performed for an ancient Copper dragon. The dragon was very much amused and has welcomed Orion into it's lair, even part of it's treasure.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
As Orion never explicitly mentioned his motivations for helping the city, people have assumed Orion acts out of kindness while traveling on his ship.

People have also mentioned the following dislikes or disinterests: volcanoes, rocks, ants and pottery.
Social
Mannerisms
Orion has been known to talk a lot with his hands. Not necessarily over the top, but just a little bit extra than normal people. He really disliked it himself, so he tried to do it less, but it has been a habit of his since he was little.
Hobbies & Pets
When he is not sailing or performing, he likes to sit with new people he hasn't met before to get to know them better, or he takes on a small adventure to get out in the world again. Otherwise he likes to tend to his little garden or research anything that he likes.
Speech
Orion's voice was very distinct to many people. Flowy, with a broad vocal range, he spoke with as much words as he could. He didn't have any catchphrases he had, but he often greeted everyone very welcoming and said goodbye or farewell in a similar way.
