Character Information
Full Name: Solā'nel Velsa (Goes by Stray)
Race: Lanlath, Star of Peace (Starfallen)
Gender: Male
Age: 51
Occult: Exist Mage
Attack/Defense Stat: Magic
Core Concept
Stray is an outcast amongst Lanlath society with a heart of gold, showing empathy for anyone regardless of circumstance, as per his nature. While formally a vigilante upholding a personal sense of justice to protect and help people, he has since given up this cause and now focuses on being a teacher of Magic, as well as giving guidance and wisdom when he can. He bears immense amounts of guilt from actions from his past as well as perceived failures for those he cares for and hopes to redeem himself.
Stray currently follows the faith of Estelley, aligning with Leyon in particular. He seeks to protect and aid whomever he can in honor of the god, but also in honor of his past self for his failures.
Appearance Information
- Stray is 6 feet tall, has unkept blonde hair, and is fairly muscular due to his constant training, though not to the point where it's very visible.
- His outfit often consists of simple coats, pants, and boots. The one constant in his wardrobe is a deep blue cloak, one he has possessed for a good majority of his life.

- Stray was born to two Lanlath in a village within Maartasil as a simple farm boy, the family adopting a Kathar, Zannokh, into their family.
- At the age of 18, Stray was given knowledge of his heritage, and was inspired to study magic. His now adoptive brother soon joined him in his study. Eventually, they began to test their skills against monsters and bandits, becoming local heroes.
- One day, Stray became mysteriously ill, and had to be taken to Lathan to find a cure. Zannokh carrying his brother in his arms as they pleaded to be allowed in as a non-Lanlath, on the condition that their parents never returned, for they had comitted crimes unforgiveable to them.
- The two continued their magic study and improvement in Lanlath, Stray performing the ritual of Starbirth, revealed to be born under the Star of Peace.
- Zannokh soon became corrupted by his own people of the Kathar and by Void demons, and the two brothers eventually became distant, leading to a dividing conflict that forced the brothers apart. In the process, Stray had violated his Starbirth, and was exiled from Lathan.
- Stray wandered the world, meeting new people and trying to find a purpose now that his birth one was stripped from him, eventually finding Regalia and becoming a vigilante peacekpeer.
- After many trials and failures, Stray set down his darker methods and ways in exchange for a life of a father and mentor, hoping to help build the next generation of heroes- the kind of hero he failed to be.

Life Story- Stray was born to two Lanlath in a village within Maartasil as a simple farm boy, the family adopting a Kathar, Zannokh, into their family.
- At the age of 18, Stray was given knowledge of his heritage, and was inspired to study magic. His now adoptive brother soon joined him in his study. Eventually, they began to test their skills against monsters and bandits, becoming local heroes.
- One day, Stray became mysteriously ill, and had to be taken to Lathan to find a cure. Zannokh carrying his brother in his arms as they pleaded to be allowed in as a non-Lanlath, on the condition that their parents never returned, for they had comitted crimes unforgiveable to them.
- The two continued their magic study and improvement in Lanlath, Stray performing the ritual of Starbirth, revealed to be born under the Star of Peace.
- Zannokh soon became corrupted by his own people of the Kathar and by Void demons, and the two brothers eventually became distant, leading to a dividing conflict that forced the brothers apart. In the process, Stray had violated his Starbirth, and was exiled from Lathan.
- Stray wandered the world, meeting new people and trying to find a purpose now that his birth one was stripped from him, eventually finding Regalia and becoming a vigilante peacekpeer.
- After many trials and failures, Stray set down his darker methods and ways in exchange for a life of a father and mentor, hoping to help build the next generation of heroes- the kind of hero he failed to be.
- Stray was born in a small village in Maartasil to two Lanlath, who had remained outside of Lathan for unknown reasons, and raised as a simple farm boy with no knowledge of his heritage. One day, Stray had come upon a young Kathar boy, Zannokh, who he came to befriend after repeated visits to a nearby port. The two soon became inseparable, with Stray being the victim to Zannokh's occasional mischief, though it was always in good fun. After much convincing, and taking pity on the poor boy, Stray's parents adopted Zannokh into their family, seemingly unphased by the malice associated with his race, and believing good was in him.
- At the age of 18, Stray was finally given the news of his heritage: That he was, in fact, a Lanlath, and destined to be something so much greater than his current circumstance, but that he'd have to wait until his was older and more prepared before he could see Lathan himself. The young adult, excited by the possibilities of such a fate, eagerly wished to know more about his mystical race, but was pressured to keep the knowledge a secret. When informed Lanlath were masters of magic, he took it upon himself to study magic in private, scraping whatever coin he could to buy books and scrolls to train. Zannokh soon caught onto his exploits, and began to train with him- having innate magic potential of his own.
- The two continued to train and better their magic- soon becoming local heroes of their hometown as they defended it from bandits and other creatures, bringing hope and peace to their people. Stray often threw himself into these conflicts, eager to prove and better himself, while Zannokh remained in the backline, helping Stray recover from his wounds. In an odd twist of fate, the two brother's roles had turned, but their friendship and comradery remained the same.
- After one battle in particular, Stray suddenly came down with a strange illness, and Zannokh, accustomed to tending to his brother, carried the boy home to investigate with his parents. They revealed that the illness could only be cured by the best of Lanlath medicine, and they'd have to return to the city early if his life were to be saved. So, carrying his brother in his arms, Zannokh set out for the elusive entrance that bordered their region, led by his adoptive parents.
- Upon arriving into Lathan, the family had pleaded to help save the young Lanlath's life, as well as granting Zannokh allowance to remain there with his brother, and barely managed to scrape by with an ultimatum. The parents were to leave Lathan and never return again, for they had become Starfallen prior to Stray's birth, and to leave the brothers there to train their skills, and for Stray himself to finally undergo a Starbith of his own, and gain access to his people's secrets and knowledge. The agreement was reluctantly accepted, and the parents said their final goodbye to their children as they left.
Stray's Starbirth would reveal to him he was born under the Star of Peace. This revelation was hailed as a great blessing, and the expectations of being someone so meaningful pushed the young boy to do more than was asked of him every step of the way. The next years of the two's life from that point on was that of study and training. Together, they continued to better their skills in magic and theory, occasionally exiting Lathan briefly to engage in battle with monsters and vile men alike as a way of testing themselves once more. One day, however, marked a dark turn for the brothers.
- Zannokh, during a trip through a crime ridden city, was lured away by other Kathar and exposed to the more vile and wretched aspects of his own race, as well as given a horrific vision of his fate and death. At first he was hard to convince, bolstered by the good will of his adopted family, his brother, and the other Lanlath, but the seduction of demons and criminals alike chipped away at his psyche. Even after leaving, the knowledge haunted Zannokh, and he began to try and research ways to avoid his grim fate, growing more and more distant from his brother as time went on. The darkness and desperation continued to fester in Zannokh's heart, and he soon, whether by outside pressure, accident, or his own hand, became infected as a Vampire. His obsessions with immortality began as he continued to search for ways to avoid his dark fate, delving deeper and deeper into ritual and curses, appearing less and less within Lathan with his brother.
- When Stray finally confronted Zannokh and discovered the things he was doing, he pleaded with him to stop, and that they could find another way. Zannokh insisted that this was the only way, and fled. Stray pursued his brother across the local area- losing and following him as he tried to get his brother away from himself. When Stray finally caught up to Zannokh, he would only find the burning houses and trees of a Yanar village, witnessing his brother killing innocent Nelfin in an attempt to gain the favor of whatever dark god he now worshiped. A fierce battle ensued in the burning town between the two, with Stray inadvertently using Exist magic in an attempt to nullify the damage of his brother's Void magic, but breaking his Starborn status in the process. After a reluctant imprisoning of Zannokh, he returned to Lathan, where the news of the chaos he and his brother had caused, as well as his breaking of his heritage, were given to the other Lanlath there. Disgraced, and broken, Stray was barred entry from Lathan.
- The years after were that of isolation and loneliness, but of self-reflection as well. He wandered the world, searching for a new purpose and something to give his life meaning, believing his disgrace was unforgivable. Wishing to be redeemed from his failures in any way. His journey's allowed him contact with many different people of many different cultures- Maquixtl, Fin'ullen, Qadir, Allar. He'd meet many upon his travels, all offering their own experiences. Eventually, his journey led him to Regalia, where he became a vigilante peacekeeper in the underbelly of the city, doing what he believed would keep the peace as he had done so many years ago. Recruiting a group of misfits, mages, and fellow outcasts into an organized group, he came to learn the errors of his ways through many difficult trials and failures.
- Stray soon found his heart, hardened and broken by the failures of his past, begin to heal and soften as he took in a young Yanar in one of his patrols, Thalia Yavanna. Having the chance to make a real difference in someone's life, he began teaching his knowledge of magic to her, and soon, teaching grew to become one of the things he truly found joy in.
- Putting down his sword and helm for a cane and tome, he gave up the life of a vigilante for one of a father and mentor, adopting more into his family and acting as a beacon of safety and love for those closest to him. He devotes himself to development and guidance of the next generations of mages, hoping they can be the heroes they want to be;that he once was. Now living a simple life within Regalia, doing whatever he can to help people through peaceful means, while also hoping to find peace with himself as he continues to atone for his failings, and that of his brother.
