Geralt, The Brave

Human / Paladin

Submitted character story

You are the hero who walks the King's Road with bold intention, each step a declaration against second place. What you remembered in the darkness was mud on your face and green eyes watching, the moment you swore to become worthy. But proving yourself means you never quite arrive, never quite good enough even when the table sees victory. They will remember the paladin who turned every fight into another tournament, Firefang raised not in anger but in relentless, aching need.

Defining moment: Geralt recalls the first time he entered the Duchess Satine’s tourney. He found himself fighting her current bodyguard, Kal’Gir, a brute of a man from the northern lands. The man was tall with blue eyes. The duchess, with her blonde hair and sharp green eyes watched Geralt carefully.

Kal’Gir and Geralt clashed on the dueling grounds and before all was over, Geralt found his face in the mud several times. 

Kal’Gir had trounced Geralt quite handily in the fight and despite earning an honorable and respectable second place, he felt like he had failed. He swore he would become the duchess’ personal bodyguard and would wander the realms to prove himself.
