Description
Dark green hair, akin to the color of seaweed, tops this massive figures head
and hangs nearly to his waist in a neatly tied tail. Standing tall for even
his race, this giant stands at over fourteen feet in height and his covered
with well-defined and swollen muscle. His deep blue skin seems to ripple like
the waves of an ocean with every movement that he makes. His green brows cast
faint shadows over his compassionate light-blue eyes which are divided by a
large nose and his cheeks are high-set, along with his squared jaw, giving
his face a chiseled appearance. His overall visage would appear, while
perhaps attractive to his kind, monstrous to most others if it wasnt for the
glimmer of kindness in his eyes.
Role
Background
Added Mon Jan 22 23:47:21 2007 at level 1:
Dahltu was raised by two loving parents in a typical community of giants,
under the waves of the Aryth. Since being young he was always taught to be
honest, respectful, responsible and to aide those in need. Through his whole
life, he held these tenants close to his heart. Always being large, even for
his kind, Dahltu would often stand up for the other young giants (especially;role + those considered small or shy) when they were being teased. He always hated
to see someone in need not be aided so whenever possible he would try his
hardest to do what he could.
As he grew he found that he was stronger and caught onto his studies faster
then most others and while he acknowledged this and took pride in it, he
never thought himself better of a person and always tried to use his
advantages for the good of his community. He wasnt the only one to noticed
that he was different, an elder named Jofgertal -from the Paladins guild
also took notice and spoke with his parents of squiring him. Teary-eyed, they
sent him away to live with Jofgertal and to learn. Dahltu stayed with him for
many years, learning what he could in all things and taking to combat very
quickly and with a passion. From humble tasks of cooking dinner to sparring
and aiding those in need.
One day a young giant ventured too far out of the waves, out of curiosity,
and was beset by a pair of humans fishing. They bullied the young giant after
they coaxed him aboard their boat, pulling at his worthless trinkets and
asking for *treasures of the deep*. Dahltu was out that day for training,
meditation and practice with his blade alone. He heard the cries for help and
rushed to the boat to see the young giant upon the deck of the boat being
kicked. Quickly, he boarded the boat and demanded that they stop. When they
refused and continued to kick the boy he lifted his sword and charged after
them. One man raised a pair of maces and the other quickly began chanting
some arcane words. He was in a brief melee with the mace-wielding man before
feeling a pillar of fire strike him from above, sizzling he fell to the deck.
The young giant gazed at Dahltus dying form a brief moment and nodded in
thanks before jumping overboard and being free. Dahltu burned to death that
day, but did so in peace knowing he had saved a boy from the fate that he now
endured and realized that he must do what he can to cleanse the lands of the
wicked.
Once he regained his flesh he returned to his sire to tell him of what
occurred and after a few long moments, he simply nodded and retired to his
cot without a word. Dahltu did the same, afraid that perhaps he did something
wrong. But, if it was so wrong...why did it feel so right?
The next day when he awoke, Jofgertal told him that it was time that he go
out and make a difference in the world. Too long have people hurt one another
and prayed on the weak. He told him that even he learned something from the
young squire that day, gave him a pack with some bread and a water skin, and
with a tear in his eye sent him on his way.
The dream.

Dahltu has recently joined the Paladins guild in Galadon and has made many
friends. He has always had a passion for combat and delights greatly in his
sparring matches with his friends. One night Dahltu had a dream of a jaguar
watching him and ever since then it has seemed that when he enters combat he
become more then himself, a higher level of consciousness. He can feel a
berserker-like presence enter him. He told another squire of the dream and
was told about Baerinika and that he should seek the jaguar spirit out.

Things have gone well for Dahltu. He has dedicated to his Lady, joined the
Fortress, and most recently reached the final title within his guild. All
great achievements. He has sent a scroll home to see how everything was going
and to tell his old teacher and his mother about the adventure he has seen
and the changes he believes that he has made in peoples lives so far. He has
grown very comfortable within the Fortress and the next goal within the
Fortress is to earn the title of Maran and perhaps even a position of
leadership.
Dahltu has evolved a lot as far as his religion goes. His Goddess has
bestowed him with Hope and he is extremely grateful. He sees Lady Baerinika
in a different light now, a more personal one. He feels that he has a much
better understanding of who She is and is very happy and comfortable with
Her. Dahltu prays that he will earn Her mark upon his flesh and hopes that he
might even be known through the realms as one of Hers.
