Character description/personality:
Shardon is such a cute look to him, he can be (and has been) mistaken for a human child. With blue eyes that seem to have a spark and charisma coming out of him, Shardon seems like a very approachable person. He has straight, brown hair is cut short in the back, but is long in the front, though it is parted out of the way of his eyes. He has very light skin for someone who lives in Athas. It is a rare sight indeed to see someone so... "beautiful" in Athas.



Shardon seems like a very kind, soft-hearted person on the surface and knows his P's and Q's. He has a way with words, is good at figuring out just what to say and to whom. Down inside, though, Shardon is out for revenge and everything he does is driven by this. While he does still feel other feelings like happiness, sorrow, love, etc, it all mostly stems from his vengeance (such as being happy when someone he hates is suffering). Most times, such emotions still take back seat, but his ability to act kind is to such a degree that this fact only really matters to Shardon personally. His care for his allies mostly extends to the same care he has for his weaponry. Take care of them, they will take care of you. But deep down, what remains of his ability to love does care for them as more than tools. Though it's much like a fairy trying to yell over the fanfare of a parade.

Character background:
All anyone who remembers Shardon from his previous life can remember about him is he was a bookworm pretty boy. But he didn't pull his weight much and wasn't much to note. But ever since he apparently escaped slavery and returned to the Crystal Cloister, he has been accepted back with open arms. The only remaining free being from his tribe, Shardon decided to be assimilated into the Crystal Cloister and help the community. He has been petitioning them to help him rescue the remaining, living members of his tribe who are currently slaves. In recent history, he has been commissioned to go with a group of constructs on a mission they have been given. As a halfling, Shardon can serve as their "face", communicating on their behalf and use some of that apparent charm he seems to carry in order to attain the goals of the Cloister.
