Taryon is a handsome human male with shoulder-length, feathered, dirty blonde hair. He has blue-green eyes and a well-groomed goatee adorning his dashing smirk. His svelte frame is clad in a set of polished barely-used breastplate armor, while he carries numerous satchels, jewelry, and other adornments. He is followed by Doty, a large automaton that is often seen writing Taryon's narration in a thick book.

background;

An extravagant human artificer from a wealthy family seeking adventure, aided by his expensive tools and robot sidekick Doty. He chronicles his dramatic journeys in a book as he learns what it really means to be a hero.

Taryon was born the elder of two children to a rich landowner. He grew up with the best tutors and luxuries the Darrington wealth could afford but with little affection. His loving mother rarely spent time with her children, and his father looked down at his son's hobbies and love for fantasy, not to mention the lack of a ruthless nature he wanted to see in a future businessman. To combat his loneliness, Taryon studied artificing, history, and alchemy, then built his own automaton to be his friend. All the while, his little sister was favored by his father while he got lost in adventure novels, dreaming of becoming someone brave and beloved like the heroes he read about.

Taryon was eventually disinherited and in order to regain his birthright, he left home with Doty and 50,000 gold to find glory and his father's respect.

EQUIPMENT

❃ Doty: An 8.5-foot tall automaton that follows Taryon's commands and writes what he dictates. He can react in battle if Tary or his allies are attacked, and he can only say the word "Tary".
❃ Helm of Brilliance: Embedded with diamonds that cast Prismatic Spray and opals that cast Daylight
❃ Rod of Mercurial Form: Can transform into a sword, a spear, an axe, a dagger, or a crossbow with the option to set it on fire. It adds magical damage to attacks.
❃ Beads of Force: When thrown at a target, it entraps them in an impenetrable sphere for 1 minute and deals minor damage.
❃ Broom of Flying
❃ Chime of Opening: "I can open any fucking door."
❃ Robe of Useful Items: A cape with patches that can be pulled off to create potions, a door, windows, dogs...
❃ Ring of the Ram: Fires three charges per day
❃ Alchemical Satchel Holds materials for his potions: Alchemical Fire, Healing Draught, Alchemical Acid, Smoke Stick (creates obscuring smoke), Swift Step Draught, Thunderstone (explodes when thrown), and Tanglefoot Bag (creates a sticky area)
❃ Tinkering Tools
❃ Whatever expensive items he last bought in a shop

ABILITIES

Taryon is an expert at tinkering and in building enchanted items. With the latter, it can take a few hours to a few months depending on the rarity of the material and the power of the item. Some things he built in canon were a flying broom, dragonscale armor that resists cold and another that resists acid, and an earring that casts a Message spell.

Taryon's key ability is Infuse Magic. He channels spells into coins that he can give out to people for their use at any point. The spells he knew during the campaign are:
❃ Cure Wounds
❃ Jump: triples the target's jumping distance for up to one minute
❃ Invisibility: lasts up to one hour
❃ Sanctuary: when cast, the attacker must overcome a mental block to make a move, which can stall for time. Sanctuary breaks when the protected person makes an offensive move. Lasts up to one minute otherwise.
❃ Detect Magic
❃ Identify: a spell that gives the user a brief description of what an item is
❃ Alter Self: physical alteration that can make you look like someone else, add gills, etc. for up to one hour
❃ Fly: lasts up to 10 minutes
❃ Blur: Makes someone harder to hit
❃ Enhance Ability: lasts up to one hour
❃ Haste: lasts up to one minute
❃ Revivify: revives a recently dead person

PERMISSIONS

❃ BACKTAGGING: Yes! I understand if people are slow because of real life. Even if something is months old, I love reviving old threads.
❃ FOURTHWALLING: Taryon would assume someone read his autobiographies, but in memes I'm open to fourth wall comments.
❃ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: If he knows your character, definitely.
❃ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: I welcome any combat or serious violence. Taryon is going to be terrified and try his best, and he wields a variety of tools that boost his defenses or cast support magic.
❃ RELATIONSHIPS: Taryon is gay and a romantic and is open to courting all sorts of men. Fellow nerds are absolutely his type.
❃ PLAYER PERMISSIONS: Please avoid unsanitary topics or fingernail gore.
