Makarios, son of Tharassa
Male, age 21. Healer from Clearwine, member of Orlmarth Clan of the Colymar Tribe.
"Greetings. You have nothing to fear from me. I am Makarios, son of Tharassa, a healer of Chalana Arroy. I have pledged my life to serving others as the goddess wishes. If you are injured, I will heal you. If you seek counsel, I will tell you what I can. If you are in need, I will give you what I have.
I am from Clearwine, and I grew up within the hospital temple of Chalana Arroy, orphaned in the Great Winter that claimed my mother’s life. I spent much time learning herb-craft with the priestesses of Ernalda, who shared their bounty with us at a time when others had nothing.
This beautiful creature upon my shoulders is Whisper. She found me when I was dying, nearly slain by trolls, and kept me alive. She is a bit shy, so do not feel offended if she is quiet to you.
She warms to others eventually, as she did to me. "
Makarios’ grandmother was a scribe of Lhankor Mhy, specializing in ancient texts relating to the healing arts. Though she died before he was born, her presence loomed largely in his household.
His mother joined the cult of Chalana Arroy and became a High Healer, but froze to death in the first year of the Great Winter along with her husband, leaving Makarios an orphan and a ward of the Chalana Arroy temple. While herb-gathering, he fell victim to a troll raid and was nearly slain. Dying in the snow, he was found by an ‘awakened’ white serpent (possessing human-level intelligence and spirit), which protected him and tended to him until he could be found. This remarkable occurrence gave him the favor of the Ernaldan temple, seeing the serpent as a sign. Makarios named it ‘Whisper’ and keeps it with him always.
Most recently, Makarios participated in the Liberation of Pavis. As a result of his loyalty to Argrath, Makarios received a considerable amount of wealth in the form of spoils of war, a bounty he is unsure what to do with, given its origin.
How to Play Makarios
. You are a pacifist, sworn to non-violence. Try to resolve every obstacle without letting the others resort to violence. In any case, you never willingly harm intelligent creatures or needlessly cause pain to a living thing.
. Your strongest Passions are Love (family), Devotion (Chalana Arroy), and Loyalty (Colymar Tribe). You tend to support other adventurers from that tribe.
. You have powerful healing magic, including the incredible ability to Resurrect the recently killed. Use it sparingly! You do not have that many Rune points.
. Harmony and Sleep are good non-violent ways to overcome dangerous opponents without harming them.
. Your high Fertility and Harmony Runes reinforce your dedication to Life and Peace. Your high Earth Rune makes you very practical—except when it comes to violence.
