Role background
Added Mon Nov 4 23:44:36 2013 at level 23:
Haustr's current life is a lie.
His story to others is that he was a guard in Akan and grew tired of
all the chaos there, and left to try to convince the Spire to begin
protecting Akan.
In truth, he had been on the fast-track toward the Paladin Guild.
Until one fateful day when he was caught stealing from the coffers
meant as alms for the poor. He was disowned by his own family, and,
at such a young age (for a dwarf), struck out on his own.
Haustr isn't even his real name. He changed it, took up residence in
Hamsah Mu'tazz, and had laid low for a time, waiting for his shame
to go back to obscurity.
When he felt it (and he) had been relatively forgotten, he joined the
guild for warriors. His shame at his story is great, however, and so
he continues his lie.
Cut off from the gods, he cursed them for a time, as though things
were their fault. He's realized that is not the case, of course, but
is still bitter at times. During his most serious bouts of depression,
he began to tie knots, twists, and braids into his beard. The pattern
represented each of the gods of Purity and Light, initially.
Then he began to add counter-balance beardwork, representing the dark
gods. When someone asks about his beard, he makes up a lie that goes
along with his faked background story of being a guard in Akan.
He will pay lip service to his supposed goal of protection for Akan,
but in truth he simply wishes to bring Order to the lands, as part of
a penance for his misdeeds earlier in life.
The Spire, Service, and Lastname
Added Thu Nov 21 00:08:32 2013 at level 47:
Haustr feels more at peace and as if he belongs, within the Spire.
His lie-life has become his true-life, for all important purposes.
He still worries, a bit, about what would occur if his secret were found
out, but it is an unlikely event. He nearly slipped up one day, however.
While on duty in his guild in Voralian City, one of his special guards asked
what his last name was. Haustr had never given thought to preparing
to answer such a question.
Haustr's mind raced, trying to think of something suitable to his heritage,
yet not anything that could be traced to his true past. Images sprinted
through his mind, and the first things that came to him were all synonymous
with words like "outcast", "betrayer", and "lies".
He finally seized on one that would work as a dwarven name and not be
completely obvious. ColdHearth, to him, symbolized how the fireplace
in his abode in his ancestral home would remain devoid of any fire, forever.
For the first time in a long time, however...this thought filled him not
with sadness, but instead a satisfaction. His service to the Spire was
making a difference. He'd never be a paladin, but that was all right.
Slip-ups
Added Wed Dec 11 14:39:54 2013 at level 51:
Haustr has, on more than one occasion, now, alluded to his past
when in talks with various other adventurers.
He does not intend to speak of his past, but he slips up at times when
distracted or overtired. With Saersha, Deaer, and others he mentioned
something that may lead them to understand that he once stole something.
When Hothgar used a very roundabout way to ask Haustr's alignment
in the battle for Good and Evil, Haustr stated he did not care for
such things, and had not since - ... He then caught himself and told
Hothgar to nevermind, but the giant's curiousity was piqued.
Haustr brushed him off, but as the slip-ups mount, he may end up
needing to confess to someone, at some point.
He is Justiciar of Thera, now, and known as "The Long Arm of the Law."
He is very afraid of losing these positions, titles, and accolades if
his past is revealed.
Temptation and Irony
Added Mon Jan 13 21:21:03 2014 at level 51:
Haustr has been Justiciar for quite a while now. His career as a Tribunal seems to
be going well. But on occasion, he finds himself coveting things again. Specifically
things worn by non-criminals. Paladins, often enough.
Like an alcoholic who gazes longingly at the swinging doors of a dusty saloon, he finds
himself glancing at various citizens to ascertain if they are healthy or in danger of
being assaulted in a protected city. When he glances and sees something extraordinarily
shiny, however...his past comes rushing back.
Thus far, this "alcoholic" has turned away from the dusty saloon, reminding himself that
there is no joy at the bottom of a bottle, and no amount of gold or shiny things will make
his life better.
Somewhat amusing, however, is the fact that his position as Justiciar enables him to
perform what is termed an Inquisition when a murder is done. Ironic, in that his
previous life as a paladin would have had him taking part in inquisitions of a
different sort.
