Galen ![]() War does not determine who is right - only who is left. Character Info Name: Galen Greenhair Nickname(s): Galen, The Green Knight Old Name(s): I’m too young to have an “old” name. Gender: Male Age(If unknown, put an estimate): Seriously, isn’t there a rule about not asking someone their age? *grins* Let’s just say that I’m older than the average human, I’m well seasoned. Species: Sidhe/Pixie…Let me clarify that I am as tall as most of the sidhe, so I am most definitely not small…I mean that exactly the way it sounds. *winks* Kingdom Seelie Character Appearence My most charming feature is my smile, but I’m going to assume that you wanted something a little more literal in the description area. So why don’t we go with tall, green and handsome? *winks* I know that sounds a bit over confident, but I’m very secure in my good looks, as they’ve helped me out of a tight spot or two. But don’t be fool by my boyish smile, I’m still a knight of the Seelie court and I’m just as dangerous as I am cute. General Height: 6’0 General Weight:*laughs* Really? Who came up with these questions? Let’s just say that I weigh enough. Eye Color: Tri-colored green Hair Color: Well…most would say it’s a spring green. Skin Color: I bet you can’t guess what color skin I have…I’ll give you a hint. It matches my eyes. *pauses* Green would be correct, but it’s very light. Picture a single drop of food coloring in a giant bowl of cream. Distinguishing Marks: I have none. General Appearance: I’m one of the few knights at court that generally enjoys wearing modern clothing. I guess you could say that I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy. I keep my hair very short, even though long hair is praised among my court. Character Personality General Attitude: Generally, Galen is one of the few knights that seems to enjoy life, no matter what is thrown at him. He’s usually very upbeat, much to his kings dismay. Most would attribute his brightness to his age, see as he is one of the youngest at court. Not even tipping the scale at 100yrs he’s still seen as the sort of “ baby brother” of the knights. However, his charm and wit are just as sharp as his skills with blades and firearms. He has a wonderful smile, but he’d just as soon shoot you to defend his king. Special Abilities: As a lesser form of the Green Man, God of Vegetation, Galen’s talents run with nature and fertility. He’s shown exceptional gifts with plants, both in growing them and keeping them alive long past their “shelf date”. His good nature is actually infectious, as he can calm and soothe his targets from a few feet away. Hands of Power: As of right now Galen, doesn’t have a specific hand of power Weakness: His king, and Iron…and Queen Meredith Personality:In all fairness, I think that I should tell you about my personality. This way you can hear it straight from the horses mouth, so to speak. The first thing that most of you will notice when we meet, is that I’m a very optimistic person. It’s hard not to enjoy life when there is so much of it growing around you. Nature is beautiful, and as I’m constantly surrounded by it…I’m consistently happy. Others I’m sure will tell you that that sort of “greenness” comes from the fact that I’ve only been around a little over 75 years. I haven’t seen enough death and suffering to truly understand what it means to be a knight or a true member of the seelie court. As with all things I am sure that there is truth to their words, but I don’t let it worry me. I’m sure that as my long life stretches out, that there will be plenty of opportunities to witness pain, and suffering...so why stress what isn’t here yet? I suppose I should also state that I don’t have a head for the politics at court, but that hasn’t kept me from trying to learn them. I am by no means as talented as the Unseelie king, but we all must start somewhere right? Besides, it just means that I have room to grow…no pun intended. On a more final note, I think it should be stated that though I’m a very laid back kind of knight, I am still fiercely loyal to my king. I would do anything to protect him, and the throne. Even though I may enjoy life and all it has to offer, doesn’t mean that I’m not willing to take one if the situation calls for it. Many people have made that mistake…I hope that you won’t be one of them. Significant other: None History: To be quite honest, their isn’t much of my pas that’s worth telling. My beginnings weren’t nearly as bright as one would assume, but I suppose you’ll still want to hear them. The man who fathered me was a pixie, though I’ve never been told his name or even what he looks like. As the story goes, he met my mother, who was a Sidhe lady of the Seelie court, and forced himself upon her. Or at least, that’s what my mother claimed to the court. Doing such a thing is strictly prohibited, so he was captured and put to death. My poor mother was too ashamed to face the court, so she willingly gave me up to them. In hopes that perhaps I could shed some light on my father’s tarnished name. From that point on, tiny as I was, I was raised amongst the court. Shifting from one “house” to another, as I was tutored in languages, history and weaponry. The few moments that I stile for myself where always out in the gardens. Amongst the blooms, I was truly alive…I belonged. I made up my mind at a very young age that I would never let myself feel out of place. That the court would be my home, not matter what. I would make a name for myself, and others would forget the tragic beginnings of my life. And so the misfit child of a pixie was forgotten, and the Green Knight of the Seelie court took it’s place. RP SAMPLE Walking the length of the Shining Throne’s garden did little to ease the tension gathered in Galen’s back. Something was wrong…he just couldn’t quite put his finger on it. There had been too many intruders these past few days, and Galen worried over their bold actions. He was a knight, and honor bound to serve his king, but he couldn’t fathom why Merry would send so many of her court to the borders of their land. Merry. Just thinking her name seemed to conjure the smell of spring roses on the night’s gentle breeze. Gods, he missed her…And knowing that she was queen of the opposing court only made the pill of reality that much harder to swallow. He’d never thought he’d see the day that they would stand on opposite sides, yet here they were, in the midst of war. He had to convince his king to meet with her. If he only took the time to see that there were outside forces pushing them into these corners then maybe… The slightest shifting of leaves halted Galen’s thoughts, as his hand reached for the hilt of his sword. Silently pulling it from it’s sheath, he bent to place a single hand against the ground. Listening for his enemy’s footsteps in the earth was a talent he’d been forced to learn quickly. You can hide sound, but the ground will always give you away. Focusing harder, his head tilted in the breeze as his eyes snapped to the left. Standing, Galen silently made his way toward the unwelcome guest. Thin vines slithered across the ground to do his bidding, quietly reaching out to the trespasser. He’d hoped that for a single evening he could simply enjoy the night and the beauty of his gardens. But the time for war was upon them, and there’d be no room for small pleasures. So with sword in hand he’d face his enemy, and pray that yet another evening wouldn’t end in screams for death. User Info: Name: Keira Nickname: Kure-n Age: 27.…grrr…I hate answering that question just as much as Galen does.
