Physical Description
Having never not worked a day in his life, Valerian can pose an imposing figure. Wide shoulders, slim hips. The brown hair on his head and the brown eyes tell the tale of more non Connlaoth blood, but he's no noble, so it doesn't really matter. Despite his unusual height for the country he's in, Valerian isn't anything amazing, while he's not unattractive, he doesn't stand out in a crowd (unless it's above them) and generally, he's just a plain kinda guy.

Or he was.

At 18 he was drafted into the military and there's only one reason he's so young and not still there. A skirmish with mages had a makeshift building collapse on him and while he didn't die, he did lose a lot of weight. Almost a full leg's worth, even! His left leg, from below the knee down, is missing, having been lost in the incident. His back is also mostly covered by burn scars, some reaching his neck and some wrapping a bit around his ribcage. They're not terrible burns but they're burns none the less. The lord of the house he works for had a prosthetic leg built for him and while sometimes it hurts it's better than having to use a crutch.


Personality
Valerian had always been a nice boy. Having grown up knowing what hard work was and how to say his please and thank yous. He's still very much a nice boy, however, he's been left bitter towards the world for making him lose something important. Having things taken from him that he'll never get back, both emotionally and physically.

He has very little patience for explaining things and even less for having things explained. If it can't be done in a few seconds he'll grow bored and probably start to think about something else. Valerian thinks the war is misguided but does have a personal hate for mages and their abilities, how easily it ruined his life by something that was so simple for them to do.

Since his injury he's had a chip on his shoulder and may or may not really like alcohol when he has nothing important to do. Or even when he has something to do and his leg hurts. Numbs the pain! All the pain.

Magic/Abilities
He can throw a mean hay bale and ride a mean horse.
His time in the military has also left him okay with more tactical fighting. He's still better at brawling than anything else, like all large people are.

Relationships
Constance Olivia Carwick - Growing up they were the best of friends, sneaking out of chores to go play. The only two children they had little else to choose from as playmates but luckily they got along well and their friendship blossomed. Valerian learned better Than Stable Hand Boy manners and Olivia learned how to ... Eh. Make Mud Pies?  He carries a torch for her and has been a little lackluster since she's been gone.  No one copes well with their best friend going away.

Bairn Reine - His father! Taught him all he knows about horses. They share a somewhat similar injury which keeps them out of the military.
