Welcome to @Alex.B and @Ze Clara07, both! Legacy Access can be granted once I get another post or two from you. (I can only award 1 per post)

Character Name: Aeodan Damar Biography Link: LINK Group: Nobility, Ebon Vanguard Special Requests: Updated for Merrilor. This includes an Age Change, and I moved his WS from 9 to 12 to adjust for the additional 5 years. Vanguard referencing is vague and intentional. Edits are in Purple.

I will end this MIA, but it's likely a slow roll-back. I've been on, best described as, 'the struggle bus' thanks to circumstances genuinely out of my control. Surgery aside, the emotional backlash from the Org side and work put me back into a headspace I was in 17 years ago like it was yesterday and the depression was ... bad. (adhd and time did not work in my favor this time). Thank you for being so patient with me. I want to find the parts I'm excited about and continue helping build something with you guys to make the RP fun and relatable while new and exciting. It's a delicate balance so I appreciate the help and continued poking. (Thanks Cass. <3)

For when life makes things difficult to be on. 🙂

WELCOME TRAVELLER! A New Beginnings is set in an Alternate Universe and is not associated with the characters from the books. This, of course, means that we don't allow references to or recreations of those characters. There will be no canon characters from the books allowed in the game - largely to build our own story towards the Final Battle with our characters as starring roles instead of the book characters. We have a Modified Timeline(see History). You should use this as a point of reference, rather than relying on the knowledge taken exclusively from the books. Just check over to the side and you'll find a handy link to tag you right over to it. If you aren't sure or just want to check, please do ask the STAFF who are always more than happy to help out and provide any further information you may need to explain fully. As a whole we consider ourselves to be a creative, enthusiastic, and very dedicated group of roleplayers committed to character development and storytelling, with a side of world-building thrown in for good measure for those who might be interested.

I did a deep dive for some games that were popular that could be played by anyone, and I came across this one and felt we should give it a go! The way the game works is you can either GIVE or TAKE a point from two characters until only one is standing. As an Example: Aes Sedai - 5 Trolloc - 5 I will GIVE Aes Sedai and TAKE from the Trolloc, changing their points to: Aes Sedai - 6 (+1) Trolloc - 4 (-1) And the last standing from the following list WINS!! Rules: No Double Posting (Someone has to post after you before you can change their points again). You can only GIVE or TAKE from two in a single post. (There is a Bonus to who wins, but that’s a prize told at the end!) When I think of more I’ll post here! LET’S START WITH SEASON 1 CHARACTERS! 😄 Rand al'Thor - 5 Mat Cauthon - 5 Perrin Aybara - 5 Egwene al'Vere - 5 Nynaeve al'Meara - 5 Moiraine Damodred - 5 Lan Mandragoran - 5 Thom Merrilin - 5 Min Farshaw - 5 Loial - 5 Padan Fain - 5 Logain Ablar - 5 Siuan Sanche - 5 Leane Sharif - 5 Alanna Mosvani - 5 Alviarin Freidhen - 5 Ba'alzamon (Ishamael) - 5 Tam al'Thor - 5

Name: Aeodan Damar Age: 32 Place of birth: Tear Physical Description: height: 6 foot 4 inches build: Tall, Athletic, Strong Tall, Dark, definitely a nobility to his appearance. He wears the traditional garb of a Guardsman but also keeps the clothes found in noble circles in Tear accessible and hidden for formal reasons or should he be called to return home. Personality: Formerly a Nobleman of Tear, his stature and how he looks down on people never really go away, though most of the time it's a mask. He defaults to how he was brought up and shows only what the world wants him to show; formality, noble blood, and obedience. Character History: before the yard The Damar Family is well known as one of the major Nobility families in Tear. Aeodan's father a High Lord of Tear, part of their council. It was strongly expected that Aeodan would follow the same political path as his father, and Aeodan's younger sister married into another to build their family strength and power. From the moment he could speak, he learned how to speak like a Lord. From the moment he could read and write he was learning Tairan laws and political allies and enemies. Tactics and battle, he played war games with his father by the age of 7 and learned how to win and very much how to lose. More than anything, it was drilled into him that he would not be good enough until his father deemed him good enough. Something to this day that has never happened. Upon his father's fall from the Council for his scheme gone array, Aeodan took off, abandoning his family in fear that he would be forced into his father's place. The world beyond had changed much in the years that followed the Final Battle, and the tradition he wanted to avoid seemed better broken where new roots were growing. training with sharp things Aeodan took to the sword and bow like a fish to water. Already trained in some swordplay, Aeodan's training with the Ebon Vanguard was less about skill and more about attitude. He had a deep chip on his shoulder and through those terrible teen years, he struggled to think outside of his own head. It was during a training exercise along the northern Borders that he learned how little his life in Tear actually meant to him and that his friends and companions in the Vanguard were now truly his home. simple life but a complicated future Aeodan has been a member of the Ebon Vanguard for 15 years, of which the past 7 gained the rank of Bannerman. He works closely with the channelers of Merrilor, primarily the Aes Sedai who have better information networks to what may be occurring in Tear. Aeodan now works towards becoming a Blademaster, feeling close in skill to challenge one currently in residence in Merrilor. He is also starting to feel ready to dedicate himself to the right Aes Sedai, though he still fears the pull to return to Tear, as his Father has long since returned to his seat but is aging and starting up sending letters demanding his return. Character Reputation Aeodan has a respectable reputation in Merrilor. He is known for being very skilled but lacks a certain trait to seize responsibility or ownership in a higher rank. He is a favorite among the trainees, inspiring pride and honor to those he teaches. He isn't one to punish, instead focuses more on discipline and reflection. Character Connections Josinda Avinry - An Aes Sedai he has traveled with. They have a curious relationship which on the surface appears to be very sibling-like. Weaknesses Though his alliance is to the White Tower, he has Noble Blood, and he fights with himself should he be called home to challenge Kings.
