* Class: Cleric
* Race: Human
* Alignment: Lawful Good
* Deity: Aeridin
* Domains: Sun and Healing
* Character History:
Bruce spent most of his life as a cobbler, an accomplished maker of practical footwear. Over the years, his work provided well for his family and he prospered. After years of hard work Bruce retired, expecting to spend his remaining years spoiling grandchildren with his wife of 35 years. Unfortunately, this was not to be.
Not long after retirement, bandits viciously attacked a nearby village. When Bruce received word, he and others who were nearby rushed to the aid of friends and family. It was with great sadness Bruce saw that his two sons, their wives, and his grandchildren lay viciously slain in the smoking ruins of their once-happy homes. Horribly grieved, Bruce's wife died shortly thereafter. Tortured by memories of his past, Bruce could no longer live in the home he had shared with his family for so many years. Never a well-traveled man, he gave all of his considerable wealth to a local orphanage and took to the ways of a wanderer. It was during these travels that Bruce found his calling,
One sunny day, as Bruce trod yet another dusty path, he noticed two young children playing atop a stone fence. As he paused to watch...and reflect...one of the children screamed and fell. Bruce hurried to see what he could do to help, only to find a young boy dying from a severe cut to his head. Feeling helpless, Bruce cradled the child in his arms, covered the wound with his hand, and began to pray. To his amazement, the child's bleeding stopped. He now knew where is destiny lay.
* Character Personality:
Bruce has little ambition beyond healing and helping those in need. He is a reassuring father figure who is balding with a few gray hairs remaining. He sports the extra weight one expects to see of a middle-aged man and carries himself with dignity. Patient to a fault, he is not given to rash actions or intemperance. Although he has always been wise beyond his years, his age and experiences have further sharpened his wisdom and insight. Therefore, many seek his counsel and advice. He feels the need to help those in need, especially the weak, those who cannot care for themselves, and victims of violence.
Although he remains strong for his age, he is not as nimble as he used to be (Dexterity of
. He prefers to solve conflicts by reason rather than might, but will fight if necessary, especially to protect others. Although he is a healer, he will not aid those in the act of causing needless suffering, praying on the weak, or committing vile or evil acts. Instead, he will move to stop such acts with reason or, as a last resort, draw his weapon.
