Kalon Voss, a changeling cleric of the nature domain, carries the weight of his past and the contradictions of his beliefs with every step he takes. His dark red hair, often tied back in a practical yet unkempt ponytail, contrasts sharply with his pale white skin, a canvas for the scars of his tumultuous life. His yellow eyes, piercing and reflective of his inner turmoil, scan the horizon with a mix of hope and suspicion. At 28 years old, Kalon's appearance is a testament to his journey—a blend of the innocence he lost and the wisdom he's gained. He wears a simple, yet durable robe of forest green, adorned with symbols of nature, a constant reminder of his roots and his vows to protect the earth. A wooden staff, carved with intricate patterns of leaves and vines, serves both as a walking stick and a symbol of his clerical authority.
Born to Acolyte parents who instilled in him the importance of neutrality and the sanctity of nature, Kalon's world was shattered when they were killed during a raid on their temple. Rescued and raised by a group of clerics amidst the ruins, he was trained to heal and nurture, yet the question of how to remain neutral in the face of injustice gnawed at him. This internal conflict led him to wander, using his gifts of healing and communication with animals to aid those in need. His journey took a mystical turn when he befriended a unicorn from the celestial realm, a companion that reinforced his connection to nature and its mysteries.
As rumors of the dead returning to life spread, Kalon's path led him into darker territories. His investigation into these disturbances was abruptly interrupted when he was kidnapped by Selina, a cunning snake woman, who intended to use him as a sacrifice to revive a fallen comrade. Through his persuasive skills and a deep understanding of the motivations of others, Kalon managed to negotiate his way into joining the group instead of becoming their victim. Now, he travels with this new party, seeking a cure for the undead curse plaguing the kingdom, wrestling with his ideals of neutrality against the pressing needs of the world.
Kalon's unique quirk is his habit of whispering to plants and animals as if they were old friends, a practice that not only reflects his deep connection to nature but also serves as a coping mechanism for his loneliness and the burdens he carries. His journey is fraught with conflicts—between his teachings and the realities he faces, between his desire to help and the fear of losing himself in the process, and between the forces of nature and the encroaching darkness threatening the land he vows to protect.
