Character Profile

Galendroz

{ Memory of Galendroz the Bronze with a mortal visage. Art by @handhourgalleries }

Name: Galendroz

Nicknames/Monikers: Galen, Old Man

Age: ?

Race: Dragon, Bronze (Spirit)

Gender: Male

Acquaintances/Friends: Wennefer and @safrona-shadowsun

Physical Appearance –––

Galendroz is a Bronze adult dragon, spirit bound to a book. Of what the dragon can remember of his form before it was disintrigated, he might say he was a handsome Bronze who often took mortal form to build connections and support the mortal races of his time. He was known for his fondness of deep brown and bronze or gold colors.

Bio/Known History -----

A dragon spirit magically bound to a tome of his own making, Galendroz the Lost is a presence mostly held in the offices of Empyrean Imports. His memories seem to have faltered over his time bound to the book, and he seeks connections to help him remember his history, as well as the history of the world he has been lost to.

RP Hooks ----

Someone that may know of the Courier and her immediate business circles within Empyrean Imports may come to learn of this strange sentient tome.

People that can track or sense dragon presences may be sensitive in Galen's vicinity.

Galendroz has a deep appreciation for magic and old world artifacts and would connect well with others that do too!

Open to potential dragon lore and connections!

Give us a typical day in Galendroz's life; does he sleep? Does he search the world for stories or is he rooted in a single spot, recording what manages to cross his path?

As this was asked of the book, it sprung to life with lit text as it opened to a blank page.

“This question is quite interesting. No, I do not sleep. I have no need for sleep because I lack physical form.”

The book flipped to a page and continued answering.

“I will say I do wish to explore this ever changing world. So much new content for me to write. Most exciting indeed.“

The text flickered with glee on the page.

“Miss Wennefer is my brilliant anchor to the world. I may be rooted to these pages, but through my young aide, I am able to travel and learn the stories I have missed through the centuries. There is still so much to know to understand.”

[galendroz]

Of the memories you have left, what is the fondest one you have? Please describe it to me.

As this question was spoken, the pages flipped to a blank page before written ink appeared before the reader’s eyes.

“I can remember being quite proud of some of my students that were fascinated by what I had taught.”

“I remember their wonder, the victory in their smiles, the gratitude. And I remember feeling so much pride in those moments.”

“Sadly I don't recall the specifics of the spells taught…though echoes come back to me listening to young Wennefer. It has been some time since I've casted more than the words that move across this page…”

Galendroz has been trapped in a book of his design for many, many centuries. Does he think of ever somehow leaving the restraints of his book and starting a new life? Or is he ready for a permanent closing of his book (and life story)? Or is he simply happy to exist as he is, a enchanted tome?

For Galendroz, he does get thoughts of finding himself again outside of the tome he treasured for many centuries.

But in current times, he has been very content in helping others besides his limitations.

I personally believe Galendroz thinks he's safer in his tome.

[galendroz]

Can Galendroz 'see' outside of the pages he is bound to? Or his vision somehow magically restricted?

I strongly believe he can, but at a degree. Ever since his sacrifice, the mana that made him up has been converted and transferred fully into the tome, therefore sealing him away.

But that came at fragmentation of memory and open consciousness.

[galendroz]

What do you do to pass the time inside that book? Are there any hobbies you like to pursue, or remember pursuing in the past?

The question seemed to make words speed across the page with a certain eager delight.

“I've been aiding young lady Wennefer with cooking while having a grand time learning about current Azeroth cuisine.”

Words seemed to fly at a rapid pace as they grew brighter.

“Did you know she has so many food recipes?! Or how many options there are in food groups?!”

The words seem to be moving too fast to be read, continuing on for 4 more pages worth of recipe instructions.

[galendroz]

So, uh...how did you get inside that book? Do you remember?

*As the book is opened and the questioned asked, a glimmering golden light illuminated an entire page. As the light faded, a orange-gold text would write across the blank page to answer.

“Excellent question, friend.”

“My memory is quite lacking. But I do remember a tragic day that left me with a terrible choice.” Words faded as new script formed.

“I cannot quite remember much detail. It is all so vague.”

The golden text faded again, and did not continue for some a long minute. In time it would start again with slow, measured letters.

“I remember….water….and terror…and screams. And heartbreak.”
