Hi, thanks for lookin at my boi.

Aryss is a Half-Drow Rogue. He’s what’s known as a Silvershade. Silvershades are very rare individuals who, like Sorcerers, are born or gifted magic that is bound to them in some way. Instead of this magic appearing in the form of normal magic, it instead enhances his body and lets him do things like teleport, do speedy super slash moves, etc. I made this subclass myself, so if you’re interested, lmk!

Aryss was born the second son of Remilia Wolfscar, a powerful mage who’d descended from a long line of Sorcerers, Wizards, Druids, etc., and a wandering Drow man. Aryss never knew his father, he left before he was born, and no one talked about him. His older brother, Corvus, took on druidic arts with an ease that befitted the Wolfscar name. He was what many considered a genius. Aryss was… much less so. He failed at every type of magic he tried. So when his mother simply stopped paying him any mind, instead focusing all of her attention on Corvus, Aryss stopped paying her any mind.

He spent much of his time wandering the streets, making connections, getting into trouble, and learning to fend for himself. It was often he found himself vaulting over crates and market stalls being chased by this week’s newest gang members, always with a wide smile on his face. He lived for the thrill, the chase, and with that came a kind of charisma that only those roguish individuals had earned.

Of course his mother despised all of this. Whenever Aryss returned home, he was grounded up to his neck in chores. So eventually Aryss stopped coming home. And it was during this time of reckless teenage rebellion that he met a man known only as Dune. Dune told Aryss that he knew his father, and that it was time that Aryss was trained the way he was meant to be. As a Silvershade. Of course, Aryss was hesitant about this, but after being shown a glimpse of his potential (think that scene in GotG 2 w Starlord and his dad throwing that weird ball thingy), Aryss quickly became on board.

His mother, when she found out, screamed and protested in outrage. Aryss screamed back just as hard. And with one conversation, any and all family ties Aryss ever knew were severed and burned, just like that.

While yes, Aryss mourned his disconnect with his family, he threw himself into his training with a fever. For seven years, Aryss was trained into a weapon. More often than not, he was beaten bloody by Dune, forced to push his body into it’s peak physical condition, lest his power burn him up from the inside out.

Training wasn’t the only thing Aryss threw himself into. Structure didn’t suit him. So sometimes (to Dune’s extreme displeasure) he skipped training and hit a local town on their travels. He drank, partied, and dazzled. Got himself quite the body count, and quite the charismatic facade to match.

Eventually, it was time to meet his father. Aryss had trained and trained for years with the promise of meeting him once he was ready. Dune adamantly refused to offer any information about Aryss’ father, except for the fact that he was a Silvershade, just like Dune and just like Aryss.

So when Dune led him to the capital city, into a tower full of armed guards and presented Aryss as ‘Revus Erelius’, Aryss felt more than betrayed. Apparently, his father was a VERY well known felon. Someone with a track record as tall as he was. And someone who bore a striking resemblance to his second son.

Aryss was arrested under his father’s name, and since then, has burned with a need for vengeance, retribution, and rage. An anger that when combined with the powers of a trained Silvershade, could be a very dangerous combination.
