CHARACTER BIO

Moxley was born a 2nd generation slave. His mother was a prostitute owned by a brutal orc slaver. Because of his low station in life, young Moxley would often get into fights and steal just to make ends meet. His life seemed to be on the fast track to nowhere, until one fateful night...

After a heated dispute over money, Moxley's mother was killed by her orc master. Moxley, in turn, killed his master in revenge. Before the bloodshed could escalate, however, Moxley was calmed by a wandering paladin investigating the slave ring operating in the area. Seeing such an at-risk youth in his midst, the paladin offered him shelter and a warm meal with his order. Seeing kindness where he had never seen it before, Moxley immediately asked about becoming a paladin himself, and his life was forever changed.

Moxley trained, fought hard, and went on several adventures all over his world. His grandest adventure to date, however, was a campaign against The Celestial Court; a cabal of the most ancient world building deities that threatened to destroy the known universe in civil war. Over several months and with the aid of a small band of key allies, Moxley eventually reached the court and channeled so much divine energy that the Celestial Court was usher to sleep for several millennia more, bringing peace to the world once again.

The battle was over, but the deep bathing in divine energies irrevocably changed Moxley's physiology and paladin powers, pushing them beyond their limits. Today, Moxley rides on his warhorse between worlds as one of the Silver Flame's greatest champions, taking in their wonders and protecting them from enemies big and small.

PERSONALITY

Moxley is a generally cheerful fellow with a deep sense of justice. His background gives him deep compassion for the poor and desperate, and strives for mercy whenever possible. But when peace can not be achieved through words, Moxley has no qualms about resorting to violence and killing when necessary. A crusader through and through, Moxley can even be found deeply enjoying the fights he finds himself in. Some even say Moxley enjoys fights as much as he does peace, though he has always denied this.

POWERS AND ABILITIES

Master Martial Combatant: Moxley's extensive paladin training and rough upbringing on the streets has given him a considerable amount of practical combat experience. Though he is skilled in a wide variety of weapons, Moxley usually tends to favor a longsword and shield. In addition, Moxley has also shown expertise in wrestling, street fighting, and improvised weaponry.

Superhuman Physiology: The amount of divine energies that Moxley has channeled has granted him a wide variety of changes to his physical body, including increased strength and dexterity, immunity to disease, and a slowed aging process. This also impacts his psyche as well, granting Moxley an immunity to fear effects and mind control.

Holy Magic: As a just paladin of The Silver Flame, Moxley can use a variety of white magics to heal, turn undead, detect evil, buff his allies, and in some limited cases, revive the dead.

Divine Smite: Moxley channels holy energies into every punch and weapon strike he lands, making them more damaging. This power increases potency against undead, demons, and fiends, and can be pushed even further via channeling his daily healing power into his attacks.

Summon Charger: Moxley can summon Harper's Chance, his friend and faithful steed, at will. Harper's Chance is a mighty black war horse that is clad in silver barding and can telepathically communicate with Moxley. Harper's Chance cannot be fully killed unless Moxley is, and if destroyed, simply sleeps in a pocket dimension for 24 hours until he can be summoned again. Also enjoys apples.

Silver Fire Bolt: Though Moxley's ranged options are limited, Moxley has also been known to project blasts of silver colored fire at enemies until he can close the distance.

Lay on Hands: Moxley can transfer a great deal of healing energy to a friendly target once per day, healing their injuries and cleansing their bodies of poison and disease. However, Moxley can also use this ability on enemies, stunning them, inflicting wounds, and recharging his healing ability.

Emotion Sense: Moxley possesses a light mind reading ability focusing exclusively on detecting and identifying emotions. Though no specific words or thoughts can be read, this is useful for empathizing with the needy, detecting imminent threats, and anything in between.

Aura of Strength / Valor / Defense / Healing: Moxley is capable of projecting his own personal aura approximately 60 feet around him to affect his allies and those friendly to him. Strength increases a person's physical strength and attack power. Valor increases their movement speed and grants and immunity to fear effects. Defense toughens the person's armor and improves reaction time. Healing gradually heals the person's wounds over time. Only one type of aura can be active at a time.

EQUIPMENT

Silver Flame Armor: A set of metamorphic armor bequeathed to Moxley by The Silver Flame. The armor responds to Moxley's will and can adjust itself accordingly, though in most instances it takes the shape of a set of ornate silver armor befitting a paladin.

Silver Flame Sword: As an extension of his armor, Moxley can also command it to take the shape of most any melee weapon he needs. However, Moxley's most commonly used weapon takes the shape of an ornately decorated longsword with a silver blade. The blade is extremely sharp and reinforced with divine energy, making it comparable to what most would call a Holy Avenger. Can also be used with a shield.

Nightsmoke Shroud: A deep blue cloak of otherworldly origin that seems to ebb and flow in and out of reality itself. It has a variety of capabilities, including limited flight, the ability to teleport self and others to a previously visited location, and a pocket dimension capable of storing Moxley's belongings.

Thieves Tools: A set of lockpicks and related tools for thievery and disabling traps. Though largely a visceral memento of Moxley's humble roots, they are in good condition and can still be used.
