Born with a tough dragonhide, Glaedr has always been a resilient, adaptable survivor--not just physically but emotionally and psychologically. He has faced his own hardships and terrors but those experiences has taught him that it's more valuable to be adaptable than to stubbornly stand still. Those who can weave in the wind of life are the survivors while the sturdy oak is the one that falls during catastrophe. Glaedr believes that those who are unwilling to embrace and accept change are the ones ultimately doomed. Having lived for centuries, the dragonborn has seen how easily the tides turn and how the ones who are unyielding become victims to their own ignorant ways. Glaedr understands the terms of sacrifice, and tries to be as benevolent, generous, and selfless as possible so that others may have a sliver of happiness. Being one who gives, Glaedr tries to make the morally righteous choices--contrary to popular belief this doesn't always lead to life or death choices. He will do what he believes is right in the given circumstances and tries to give his all when he can. He knows that being mortal, he has limitations to what he can and cannot do, and will take time to self-care when needed. Perhaps the only selfish thing that Glaedr considers he does is value his life over those who cannot be saved or helped, not that he wouldn't at least make an attempt to help others.

The centuries that he's been alive has not been idle; a seeker of knowledge at heart, the dragonborn continuously searches for answers and once found, he will continue to question the world and it's humble servants. Glaedr prides himself in all that he's learned and how he can continuously learn from his mistakes, and the mistakes of others. Paired with his ability to adapt and compensate, Glaedr is a cunning, intelligent individual; he can find quick solutions to sudden, unexpected problems. His sharp mind isn't just directed towards being an Apothecary--although that is where most of his knowledge is focused at. Glaedr is observant and keen to learn more about others; he is open and friendly--to an extent. The dragonborn enjoys the company of others and will always be open to new friendships, however he is emotionally closed off. Glaedr gives off a logical and academic vibe and typically acts off of his mind rather than heart. Part of him fears his emotions because they can be unpredictable and he has rarely had to deal with excessive stress, anxiety or anger, thus he lacks control over them. He would prefer to tuck them away under lock and key out of the fear of making irrational, emotional decisions that can potentially harm others and ruin his reputation. Due to this, becoming emotionally connected and close to Glaedr is near impossible...though perhaps with the right person he can begin to understand and better develop control over his emotions. Part of him fears letting others into his heart because of the overhanging threat of being hurt, something that Glaedr has not really experienced due to his lack of friendships/relationships.

summary :
Born centuries ago, to say that Glaedr has been around a while is an understatement. His beginnings are a foggy, distant memory, but the dragonborn began life from a fallen oak tree. For the first handful of centuries, Glaedr had little to no contact with other creatures--save for the natural inhabitants of his birthplace. He was shy and sheltered, preferring isolation to company of others; however, the dragonborn wasn't totally alone. Little creatures had no fear of Glaedr, not that he posed much of a threat to them. He didn't mind the animals running around him and would often find amusement in their habits. With little knowledge and so much time on his hands, Glaedr slowly began to creep out of his isolated, introverted shell and begin exploring his natural habitat and it's other inhabitants.

It wasn't until his 6th century that Glaedr stumbled upon an elven village located near the outskirts of his forest birthplace. Fearful of the creatures that were much larger and more...mysterious than the forest animals, Glaedr kept his distance but frequently returned to watch the elves go about their daily lives. He noticed that they were actually...more similar to him than the other animals in the forest. They walked upright, mirroring the same movements that Glaedr preformed whenever he collected and harvest plants, even their facial features and expressions represented his. Though the elves obviously lacked some of his features, such as the branching antlers protruding from his head and his long, flexible tail...but then again, these creatures were probably the closest to him that he's seen in...centuries. It took moons for Glaedr to work up the courage to venture into the elven village, but eventually he did...though the elves were just as wary of him as he was of them. Eventually they managed to work up a mutual relationship and Glaedr was hesitantly welcomed into their village and lifestyle. Glaedr--being a quick learner and adapter-- mastered their language and was soon able to communicate with them; in return the dragonborn shared his own knowledge of the natural world and quickly developed a passion for apothecary.

Glaedr set up a small station in the village and began to explore the various healing abilities of his own (dragonborn ability) and natural remedies that could be created from plant-life. A little old-fashioned in that sense, but nevertheless, it worked. Elves would come with minor injuries sustained in the working field--cuts, scrapes, bruises, broken fingers, etc. and would be able to leave with their injuries remarkably healed (granted, depending on the size, depth, and age of the wound) or given a remedy that would aid in the healing factor. Kindhearted and hard working, Glaedr soon became comfortable socializing with others but would often return to his forest home to keep the company of his forest critter friends. Specifically...a little rocky creature that Glaedr had nicknamed "Talii". The dragonborn had stumbled upon this creature randomly and having never seen or studied the creature before, took it along with him on his journeys. The familiar didn't mind and seemed content to be around Glaedr and watch him work. Glaedr formed a very fond affection towards Talii and prefers to always be in the company of the familiar.

Not one to really settle, Glaedr's undying thirst for knowledge and experience caused him to pack up his shop and set off with Talii--though with a fair warning to the elves. He left an extremely generous supply of dried herbs, spices, and other healing remedies in his wake with a note thanking the elves for their generosity and friendship through all the years. After wandering around as a traveling healer, Glaedr found himself in Almaria...and the dragonborn eagerly awaits to see what's in store for the next chapter of his life.

m i s c .

fatal flaw : n/a
➤ write

abilities :
➤ healing touch : only capable of healing small wounds (small cuts, broken bones (fingers/toes), bruises, sore throats, etc.)
➤ regeneration : linked to his healing abilities, Glaedr can naturally regenerate slowly. Due to this, he ages extremely slowly in comparison to others, maintaining a young appearance for centuries.
➤ plant growth : not really anything too special, but Glaedr can aid a plants growth/age cycle through singing. Glaedr can't even explain how he's capable of doing it, but when he sings to a plant in his birth language (consists of odd noises, and foreign words; this language was developed before he learned to communicate with the elves) it can have a slight accelerated growth. This is extremely helpful when he needs a plant to grow quicker so he can harvest the leaves/roots for healing purposes. The same birth language is the one he uses to communicate to Talii who seems to understand his words.
➤ earth elemental magic : very weak and underdeveloped. At this point in time, Glaedr can only really shift a couple rocks over short distances. The dragonborn isn't too interested in developing this ability and leaves it at that for the time being.

strengths and weaknesses :
✔ quick learner/adapter (cooperative)
✔ pretty darn flexible!!
✔ overall, flexible--particularly in his tail; if Glaedr's not careful when he gets excited he tends to knock things down/damage things with his tail
✔ extensive knowledge on plants and their medical (and edible) properties
✘ naive (to the extent that he cannot tell if someone is manipulative/toxic)
✘ not skilled in weaponry/fighting techniques
✘ cooking; Glaedr can't cook to save his life and relies on the cooking of others to eat--or he'll eat raw foods such as fruits and vegetables
✘ more to come

lawful alignment : true neutral

misc. links :
➤ theme song: Wait For It - Hamilton OST

trivia :
➤ Surprisingly, Glaedr has a good ear for tone and a good voice to boot; he will only sing when he's alone (or with Talii) for he gets easily embarrassed by others listening to him. He often sings to his plants.
➤ Glaedr prides himself in being morally correct and tries his best to make decisions based off of his morals.
