Mortimer Locard

Portrait

Description
"I can accompany you on your adventures, but I'm much more used to my books than swinging a sword, I'm afraid." =General Info= Name: Mortimer Locard Race: Human Age: 34 Diety: Oghma Height: 5'8 Alignment: True Neutral =Description= Mortimer is a wizard in his early thirties, sporting dark brown hair that he tries his best to keep groomed. His equipment usually consists of a spellbook or two, alongside various trinkets and supplies such as spare scrolls, writing implements, and other things to record with should he find something worth keeping. His signature object is the magical staff that he keeps with him at all times. =History= Upon the world of Toril within the continent of Faerûn where the nation of Amn reigned, a man known as Mortimer was born in a small house in the Bridge District of the capital city known as Athkatla. His parents were the children of powerful magi, and hoped to one day raise their son to become healthy and intelligent so that he may live a life away from the bustling chaos that is city-life. When he was young, citizens and guards weren't too fond of magic in the country. The Cowled Wizards had a strict regime against non-sanctioned magic, and the Locard family weren't exempt from this prosecution. His father was often borrowing money from other people to pay off bribes so the Amnian soldiers would leave their household alone. Despite their attempts to keep things under wraps and the debt hidden from his father's partners, the Wizards eventually discovered their illegal practices. His family was chased out of city, living in the outlying forests with his now aging parents. Soon he grew to become a healthy young man, and left his rural village to explore the outlying lands. The aspiring adventurer found himself in various major cities, eventually settling in the neighboring lands of the Sword Coast. Mortimer aged, working many odd jobs such as shoemaker, scribe, and stablehand for a good portion of his young life. However, it wasn't enough for him. He sought to delve into the legacy of his ancestors and their arcane history. The Sword Coast was very different from Amn, it's views on magic more lenient as guilds and libraries existed to introduce and educate people into the workings of the Art.   Mortimer eventually joined the clergy of Oghma within Candlekeep and was educated by the monks and wizards who also taught him many things pertaining to divine and arcane magic. Unfortunately, he had an untimely encounter with dark, planar forces that forced the wizard into another world unknown to him. Having recently awoken aboard the ship of a captain known as Rodrick, he unwittingly sails towards an archipelago to arrive at the docks of a city.
