About Lem BanderLem is 3'3" tall and 34 lbs. He's got flowing brown hair, tan skin, and hazel eyes. He wears a cloak of forest green and simple brown robes. He eschews shoes, like most of his race, and carries an assortment of gear: armor, a sling, a rapier, and various survival supplies as well as his pathfinder's kit. In battle, he's calm and collected--though outside of battle he's a happy, joking fellow. Outside of Combat, Lem brings great powers of perception and knowledge of religious things, as well as the healing ability a cleric affords. I found this drawing that is more or less how I was picturing him, though armored and with a rapier.
Backstory:
Lem is the eldest son of the Bander family, favored servants of a House Orlovsky noble--he and his family always loved the irony of serving a human family with the motto of "high above". The Bander family recognized that being underfoot can be an advantage and thus came to read "High Above" as an instruction to keep your enemy--rather than yourself--above you.
In his school days, Lem trained in religious studies, having come to faith in Cayden Caliean, and eventually his faith developed into divine magic. He excelled in races--he easily outpaced humans and elves, and was a track hero in school. He and his brother and sister met a Pathfinder, who gave a lecture at their academy, and all three were enthralled with the idea of joining the Society. Once he'd come of age, he headed to Absalom to apply as a Pathfinder and receive training with his clerical magic. At the Grand Lodge, though, during the Pathfinder equivalent of "basic training," he roomed with Fizzwiddle Glockenfleffor XXII. They developed a rivalry of friendly bets and challenges, bonded by their love of fun, though Lem is more restrained than his prankster bard friend. When Fizzy got kicked out of training for pranking his venture-captain, a no-nonsense type Lem was careful to avoid, Lem maintained their friendship and spent "nights off" watching the prankster perform. Lem was given instruction by his venture-captain to join one of the groups the swordlords were chartering to explore and settle the Stolen Lands. Lem readily agreed, eager to free the land from evils infesting it, and to start a church/tavern of the Drunken Hero. He told Fizzy, who immediately invited himself to come with Lem, to show the Pathfinders he has what it takes... Crunch:
