Appearance
Vaxlar stands tall with the characteristic lean, corded build of the Githyanki, though his posture is slightly slumped from decades over scrolls. His skin is a dusty, pale olive tone, etched with fine, silver ritual tattoos that glow when he casts. He wears a breastplate of ancient Gith design, intricately embossed with celestial maps, over layers of indigo and charcoal silks. His eyes are small, sharp, and obsidian, usually hidden behind a pair of heavy, bronze-rimmed spectacles that he constantly adjusts.
Mannerisms
He frequently mends his clothing with small, precise mage-hand gestures, and he has a habit of tapping a rhythmic pattern on his temple when thinking through a complex equation.
Personality
He is intensely analytical and speaks with a precision that many find grating. Vaxlar does not just view magic as a tool, but as a language that the rest of the world is consistently misspelling. He treats every interaction as a peer-review session, often critiquing the grammar or logic of those around him. Despite his aloof nature, there is a deep, desperate pride in him, a need to prove that his lineage of 'Sages of the Silver Void' is not just a myth.
Ideals
Restoration. I will rebuild the library of my ancestors and return the name d'Gish to its rightful place above the stars.
Bonds
The Aetheric Codex is the only thing that proves my lineage. I must find its missing chapters at any cost.
Flaws
I cannot help but correct others when they speak or cast spells incorrectly. It is not an obsession, it is a necessity.

Background
Vaxlar is a scion of the d'Gish dynasty, once the preeminent architects of the Githyanki's most secret floating citadels in the Astral Sea. Centuries ago, his family's library was purged by the Lich-Queen's agents who feared their forbidden research into 'Optimal Arcana.' Vaxlar was raised in hiding among the debris of a ruined observatory, taught by the ghosts of his ancestors that modern wizardry is a debased form of their high art. He spent his youth obsessively rewriting standard spells, convinced that if he could achieve a perfect mathematical proof for the weave, his family's lost status would be restored by the universe itself. Now, he travels the Material Plane searching for the Aetheric codex, the lost keystone of his family's inheritance. He views the physical world as a messy, disorganized laboratory, but he will endure its discomforts if it means reclaiming the sovereign title of Sage-King.
