ABOUT PALADINS.     paladins are knights, warriors who fight against evil in the name of a sacred oath they are sworn to uphold. the most iconic paladins are devoted to the service of justice and the protection of those who cannot protect themselves. their oath grants them powers beyond mortal understanding, allowing them to fight with blade and sacred spell in tandem. their ability to heal, smite, and magically manipulate the battlefield makes them a warrior of truly epic power and versatility. 

STATISTICS.     tayr is a halfling paladin sworn to protect others after losing his family. he has long brown hair, and silver armor, as well as a large battle hammer forged from elven stone. he has a warhorse he can summon in times of need in battle. he can be quite stubborn, and often does things by the book ( tayr is lawful good ). he believes there is one right way to do everything, and he will always do what’s right. he would gladly sacrifice himself for his loved one, and those in need. he can be hot headed, and can take matters into his own hands, but he understands the importance of having a team.

THE VERSE.     unlike some paladins, tayr does not come from a family of warriors. in fact, his family is nothing special, living in stanmore, where other not so special people live. this town is often pillaged by ghandol, a powerful and shady orc, and his orc minions — stanmorians are helpless and will do nothing to stop them. since his tenth birthday, tayr has been training with a mentor in town named cheney, and he’s sworn to secrecy — he cannot tell his family that he is fighting, nor does he want to. years pass, and the more he watches ghandol take what’s theirs, the more he wants to hurt him. but he’s not ready yet, cheney tells him. one day he sees ghandol pick a woman up by the hair in the village, and he cannot stop himself. he takes his mentor’s sword and cuts off the orc’s hand. ghandol and his men flee, but ghandol swears to come back with vengeance. cheney scolds him for his stupidity, though stanmore is proud of tayr’s bravery. two years later, ghandol sneaks back in the dead of night to kill tayr’s family. their heads are left at the foot of tayr’s bed. now finished with his training, he’s given a holy hammer, forged from elven stone, and sets out on his own. he has vowed to find ghandol, to avenge his parents. but he will protect those who cannot protect themselves on the way.

NEVERSCORED SAID[ … ]   🏠  FOR MIKE’S HOUSE.

1. the exterior of the house is a split level. it’s a newer home, most likely built in the late 60′s / early 70′s. this was ted and karen’s first home, and they’ve lived in it ever since. the house consists of 12 total areas, including the foyer/entrance, kitchen, dining room, living room, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a finished basement, and a 1 car garage. it is an impressive home, and karen takes good care to make sure it’s neat and tidy.

2. the foyer has stairs leading up to the second floor of the wheeler house. the front door leads into an entrance with two drawered tables, each with a matching lamp on top. pictures hang on the walls of both boring art and their family portraits.

3. the dining room is pretty spacious, but can still get crowded with 5 people eating there. the wheeler’s actually have two tables, one for casual meals ( breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc. ) and then a bigger dining table for dinners and holiday meals. the space is blocked off with a half wall, and the walls are covered in floral wallpaper.

4. the kitchen is the cleanest part of the house, since karen is in there a lot. there’s always some kind of baked treat on the counter. the dishwasher is a great feature of the house, and the fridge is often covered in holly’s drawings or mike or nancy’s report cards.

5. one of the reasons this house was so desirable is because of the fireplace. fully functioning and very large, you can find ted snoring in front of it, most days, in his recliner. pictures of the kids litter the top brick. also on the very left is an urn of ted’s father’s ashes.

6. unlike the kitchen, the basement is the messiest part of the wheeler house, despite karen’s best efforts. this is the part of the house mike is in the most, as well as his friends. board games and all of their d&d equipment resides downstairs. plenty of blankets and pillows stay down there for sleepovers. ted bought a dart board, hung it up, but never used it. you can also find cereal boxes and soda cans in the basement most nights.

incoming transmission...       you start to believe all the things they say. that this place is cursed.

↪   sender ,   robin buckley.

                            ‘ i mean... it kind’ve is, isn’t it? ’ mike doesn’t know if there was another word for it. he’s not even sure if he believes in fate, or if everything happens for a reason, but if any of that is true, then mike knows for sure that hawkins has been cursed from the beginning. all of their problems started in the last two years, but mike thought there was always some type of badness lingering around their small town. ‘ just because we know the truth, doesn’t make hawkins suck any less. it does. we just know the reason why now, ’     @bukley​.

[ourpaladin]

incoming transmission...     only by facing all of ourselves, the good and the bad, can we become whole.

↪   sender ,   nancy wheeler.

                            ‘ okay, yoda, ’ the scoff is half hearted, nose scrunching a bit when mike looks up at his sister. dull, half lidded eyes land on her, unexpecting of the fairly cryptic wisdom she had just bestowed upon him. ‘ so wise, you are, ’ says he in his best yoda impression, though quiet follows shortly after, mike taking in the words and contemplating them. there were parts of himself that he knows he hasn’t faced yet, and apparently, nancy could see that, too. the dark parts, the deep insides that held secrets and shame and things mike didn’t want to face. and he isn’t whole. he doesn’t know if he ever has been. pieces were missing from the boy that he hasn’t been able to find again yet, though mike desperately wishes he could. he’s quiet for a long moment, boy biting at his inner cheek as he thinks. ‘ how do you... face the bad parts? without, i dunno... getting lost in them or something? ’ though he’s never said it, mike had an underlying fear of turning out to be the bad guy ; the monster. eyes move up to nancy, his brow slightly furrowed. ‘ what if i have more bad parts than good? ’     @hawkinsgenius​.

[ourpaladin]

incoming transmission...      just try to take some deep breaths. 

↪   sender ,   eddie munson.

                          the world is closing in around him, but no one can see the way the ground and sky grow closer except for mike. swaying a bit, mike made fists at his side, nails sinking into the flesh of his palm, a boy trying to ground himself. it isn’t working this time. no matter how hard he pressed his eyes shut, no matter how mike tried to settle, he found himself silently gasping for air, losing himself in the anxiety flooding his chest. mike hears the footsteps through a tunnel, words echoing against ringing ears. just try to take some deep breaths... no one was supposed to find him here. he was supposed to suffer alone, get through this on his own, just like always. mike didn’t even have a word to describe the sudden panic that rolls through him sometimes, but he experiences it more and more often, these days. 

eyes flutter open, trying and failing to focus on eddie as mike takes a deep breath. one... two... three... blurry vision begins to center until mike can finally look at eddie. there are involuntary tears is his eyes, ones mike pushes back without much effort, used to doing so. ‘ i - i’m okay, ’ he finally speaks, giving a quiet, shaky sigh, now embarrassed that he was caught. ‘ how - how’d you find me? ’     @banisheddie​.

[ourpaladin]

incoming transmission...     what if i’m not good? what if i’m the monster?

↪   sender ,   nancy wheeler.

                          deep wheeler sibling conversations were usually reserved for the times right before a potentially fatal fight. which is why mike was so surprised when nancy found him in the basement, sitting down beside him. he almost makes a snarky remark ( he’d be amiss not to ), but nancy gets her words out first. words that make mike’s face scrunch into a look of shock and confusion. ‘ what does that even mean? ’ he’s so surprised by nancy’s lack of esteem that there’s no way for mike to hide it from his features. her, a monster? the big sister who takes him to school, who plays with holly when she asks, who would never let anything bad happen to her family or friends? as much as they bicker and fight and pretend they can’t stand each other, mike knows better than anyone how much nancy cares. ‘ why would you even think that? you helped save the world. like, multiple times. you’re not a monster - you’re a hero, ’ in a rare feat, mike’s features soften when he looks at his older sister. ‘ so don’t say that, ’     @petitefighter​.
