Aetherguards

Personality

Solemn, quiet, but radiate an aura that allows a certain respect to be shown to them. They are protective of their allies, especially for the weaker ones.

Physical Description

Tall (6 ft- 6 1/2 ft), strong build, with a wide, flat forehead and large black eyes. Their skin has a light blue tint, and males have no hair, while females normally have a ponytail far back on their head.

Relations

Aetherguards respect the martial prowess of the fighter, paladin, and the like, and the respect the devotion that clerics, druids, and other deity-based classes show. They dislike the selfishness and cowardice of the rogue's battle tactics, and show sympathy toward the spellcasting classes. They are highly respectful, even reverent, toward spellcasters who can hold their own in melee combat even to a small extent, such as the warmage.

Alignment

Mostly good, although they are loyal to their friends above all.

Religion

Any except for those that support betrayal or trickery.

Language

Aneid, Common.

Names

Any (Normally Psionic).
