Description: Silverhand stands 6' 1", 210lbs. Thick, muscular, with his silvery blonde hair cleanly shaven or in stubble. Knife scars riddle his body and a single blue-silver-gold ankh of the church tattooed on his chest.

19 years ago, a raid swept down from the Grey Peak mountains. A mix of men, ogre's, and other humanoids came of the north to meet Fort Llast in an attempt to overthrow the order in the region. The battle was gruesome but in the end, it was pushed back like the many others before it. In the middle of the raid, several women and children were taken. They were to be taken as slaves and food, but for one young woman she was raped by one of the men. Left for dead on the edges of Broken Swamp, she managed to escape and crawl until the aid of a travelling band found her and returned her to For Llast. 9 months later, she died giving birth to a baby boy in the protective arms of the Church of Toran.

This unlucky baby grew up in the loving, watchful care of the Church of Toran. He was given the name Torant S'rael after the church and his mother respectively. Growing from childhood, he began to realize his differences. It was not that he was taller, bigger or anything such but maybe the lighter features and the blonde almost silver hair. Always feeling that restless pull to travel, the church's clergy held him tight against the sense of restless he could never understand. Maybe it was that her mother had the Aasimar blood in her as few whispered. His silver hair always brought the unwelcome stares and awkward comments that we're never understood but always present.

In the constant training of the clergy, the paladins and the monks, he began to develop in his adulthood into a good fighter. And in time, the ribbing for his silver hair so turned to a respect for the hands, and shortly thereafter SilverHand he came to be called.

Being the bastard child of a raider, parentless, physically different and with an urge to travel, one night he did. He managed to escape the confines of his clerical teachers and got out into and around town. Unfortunately, it was not long until he was made sport of by jealous local ruffians for his differences. Beaten and knifed badly by the local theives and left to die, in his return to conciousness, his mind was oddly clear as he looked into the moonlit sky to see the one star... the brightest star, shining down like a beacon upon him. Toran's star. In that moment, he felt his life sway as though remembering some touch by a force unknown to him. He new in that moment his mother, the good woman in town, a silver-haired women, usually on the travel, was as much Aasimar as he was. The holy blood lived in his veins as well.

He continued serving the church in that moment, but as a devout member of Toran's clergy. His training became more serious as he developed. He would never turn to the evil lawlessness of the theivery that nearly killed him. He would not touch the blade as that reminded him of the ruffians had taken slowly slicing him up that night long ago. While many Toran follower love the flashing display of armor and weaponry, Silverhand would learn to rely on his hands... for a true hand of god will smite those deserving equal than some weapon of man made construction. Just as with the hand, no armor but the simple functional robes of a pious monk.

His formal training with the church continued and he grew up in the constant dedication to passing monks and their training. He grew in skill as his plans to leave when he was of age. He is dedicated to lawful goodness and his word is his bond. He will bring order and law to the land. With the skills of a simple monk, he will test the mettle of his body and his mind as his journey outside Fort Llast continues.


I have read and understood the information available on Toram. I will do my best to RP a monk dedicated to honor, truth, and viligence. Silverhand will be righteous good bringing saftey to the land and justice to evil with the strength of mind and body.


I have read all there is to know of the Aasimar and truly wish to RP one to best of my ability. Thank you.
