Physical Description He is tall, though somewhat toned - while he does not frequently do work requiring great physical strength, his years spent traveling have given him some musculature (though, his clothing conceals it well).  He has lightly tanned skin, silky blonde hair that reaches just below his ears, and dark green eyes. Lazare prefers to leave his hair un-styled - no matter what he tries, it will always lose its style within some hours of travel. He also prefers to stay clean-shaven, but his frequent traveling makes this not always achievable. Due to his profession leading him to travel often, he prefers to dress in study clothing. His standard outfit is a thick woolen gambeson, cloth pants, leather gloves and boots, and a cloth cloak worn over the rest. He also carries a small blade with him - he's had to defend himself on more than one occasion. A few scars can be seen on his arms, and one glaring one across his face - all earned either through bandits, or unruly patients. He also carries a rather large leather bag over his shoulder, filled with the various things he needs on his travels - rations, spare clothing, herbs, and so on. He has a pair of glasses, but uses them only when reading - an activity he rarely has time for.

Personality Lazare is polite, though professionally so - he values a trusting relationship between him and his patients. Though, he can be blunt at times, as he dislikes sugarcoating the truth, or telling white lies. He isn't very visibly emotive, and some would say he has a stone face - though this is, in part, due to wanting to not let patients on to how he feels about their condition. A worried healer is a concerning sight, and he does not want to bring further stress. He does not ask for payment for his services - rather, some food and perhaps a place to sleep for a night are more than enough. Due to his lifestyle, coin is not very valuable to him - it would surely be stolen, anyways. He prefers to gather his own herbs and make his own rations when able.

Magic/Abilities
Life Magic - Lazare was born with some proficiency in life magic, something he further trained over the years.

Salve-Making - In the event he is unable to use life magic to heal, Lazare has some knowledge on making medical salves from herbs.

Relationships Lazare is always open to traveling companions - he enjoys the company of others, even though he may not readily admit it, and another person is another blade, someone to help with any violent encounters. He also may make long-lasting friendships with former patients who were grateful for his care. He is not averse to the thought of engaging in romantic relationships (regardless of gender or lack thereof), but his devotion to his work will always come first - it would likely be long-distance, unless his partner were open to traveling alongside him.


History Lazare was born to a single mother. However, she decided she could not properly raise him, and left him in the care of a priest of Fyarion, in the village of La'marri. As Lazare grew, the priest realized he had a talent for life magic, and decided to help him foster it - he sought other mages in the village, and eventually, an older Serenian woman took him as her apprentice. When he reached young adulthood, the priest who took him in fell ill. No matter what magic he or the woman tried, nothing worked - until a traveling doctor, spurred by the pleas of the young Lazare, made a cure. The doctor refused all payment - he simply wanted to help where he could. Inspired, Lazare swore to follow in his path, and, upon reaching adulthood, left La'marri behind to become a healer - using both magic and medicine.
