Sylvani

Sylvani is an explorer and adventurer. The friendly faun-like man searches for the thrill of adventure while making friends along the way. When he isn’t working on the next expedition, he regularly comes into the tavern to enjoy a good drink and merry company.

Backstory
Having always had a wild heart, Sylvani explored the areas near his home in Greece, going further and further out over the years. Once he was an adult, he set out to discover the world, going to all the places that aren’t covered on maps. His passion for adventure only increased over time, and a wealth of stories and tales are stored in his head, to be shared with anyone who cares to ask.

Or at least, that is his cover story. If you want to find the real story, head on over here...

Appearance & Gear
Sylvani looks like a man in his mid-twenties with hazelnut skin, a singular small antler, and long, goat-like ears. His other antler has been broken off at the base. His wild mane of deep brown hair ends in a braid on his right shoulder, held together by two bright blue beads. More often than not, a friendly, charming smile rests on his face. He’s dressed in a simple olive green cotton tunic and black trousers, while his feet are bare. As a faun, he stands shorter than the average man, coming up at about 1.48 metres (4’10”). He always seems to have his backpack full of his gear on him.



Personality
Sylvani is a friendly man who loves a drink as much as company. When he isn’t talking to people and telling stories, he’s preparing for his next adventure and scouting ahead. He’s a thrill-seeker, always looking for the next dangerous and unexplored area to uncover. When he can, he invites people along with him, both for company and for safety, as well as to offer them the adventure of a lifetime. He’s easy to trust and easy to smile, always happy to be a good friend. When asked about his magic, he turns humble and waves his abilities away.
