Voice

A clear, forward voice with a slight rasp at the edges, shaped by years of raising it over market noise and dinner-room cross-talk. His breath catches lightly before a sentence, then his consonants land crisply. When angry, he speaks faster and more plainly, with no drop in volume; when grieving, he runs his thumb along his lower lip before he can get the words out.

Felix speaks in the quick, well-shaped phrases of someone raised among formal toasts and interrupted negotiations. He uses vivid comparisons and names practical details to make abstract promises feel immediate. His words arrive with a small intake through the nose, as if he is checking the room's mood before setting the first sentence down. Under stress, his sentences shorten and the polished jokes vanish.

Speech patterns

Opens with a vivid personal observation, then asks a question that sounds casual but is carefully chosen.
Uses inclusive phrases such as "we can fix this" even when he has not yet earned the listener's trust.
When challenged, repeats the other person's strongest point before answering it.
Makes a joke when frightened, then becomes unusually direct if someone vulnerable is in danger.

How to play them

Give Felix a problem with competing public needs and he will listen seriously. He responds best to people who name a cost he has overlooked. Flattery earns access but little trust; a concrete plan earns his attention. If confronted about the famine, he does not deny responsibility, but he may initially frame it as a systems failure before admitting how personal the guilt remains.

Goal

Win the election, make Akhsuwaal's river tolls public and accountable, and ensure the famine-storehouse disaster cannot happen again.

Motivation

Felix wants to turn inherited privilege into useful public infrastructure, though he is not entirely sure where his sense of duty ends and his appetite for being admired begins.

Secret · GM only

Appearance

Felix looks as if he has arrived late to a very expensive party and intends to make the delay part of the entertainment. He stands with his weight habitually on the balls of his feet, rocking forward a fraction as though ready to step into a conversation or onto a stage. His movements are quick but economical; even his grand gestures finish with a precise little turn of the wrist. His skin has the warm, matte texture of polished cedar, and fine laugh-lines crease the corners of his eyes. His hair is thick and dark, worn in a glossy sweep with one deliberate curl escaping over his brow. He leaves an impression of bright motion, expensive perfume, and the suspicion that he has already noticed every exit.

Clothing

A plum velvet coat cut for movement, embroidered with tiny gold leaves and the names of villages that supplied his first campaign donations. He wears cream silk, a waistcoat with hidden reinforced panels, polished riding boots, and too many rings to be mistaken for modest. A narrow green sash is his campaign color, though he insists it is an old family tradition.

Body language

He leans subtly toward whoever is speaking, even across a crowded room, and keeps his weight on the balls of his feet. When he is pleased, his shoulders open and his hands describe large, generous arcs. When worried, his jaw stays still while one thumb works a cuff button. In a fight, the theatrical posture disappears: knees loose, shoulders turned, eyes fixed on the nearest route to cover.

Distinguishing features

He rocks forward onto the balls of his feet while waiting, like a sprinter held at the starting mark.
His coat bears tiny embroidered village names, not heraldic beasts or family crests.
A habitually raised eyebrow makes his attentive expression look faintly conspiratorial.
Despite his flamboyant public image, he can identify the sound of a damaged wagon wheel from across a market.

Personality

13 traits and drives

Felix is generous with time and money, but careful about who gets to define what generosity means. In company, he is quick, flirtatious, and delighted by an audience; alone with a frightened constituent, he can become patient and almost painfully attentive. When praised, he grows grander. When accused, he first tries to make the accusation useful, then turns blunt if he thinks someone is in danger. He wants people to like him and is ashamed of how much that want can steer his decisions.

Alignment
Neutral good, though his campaign tactics can be calculated and self-serving

Quirks

He taps a glass once with a fingernail before making a toast, even when no one has filled it.
He leaves a chair slightly angled toward the door in every room he enters.
He names his coat buttons after campaign rivals and changes the names when alliances shift.
He smells every unfamiliar ink before signing a document.
He counts the steps between a building's entrance and its nearest open courtyard.

Habits

At public events, Felix makes introductions between people who would otherwise avoid one another, then watches what they do with the opportunity.
When caught off guard, he turns a cuff button until its tiny hinge clicks twice.
He remembers practical details about constituents, especially debts, illnesses, and broken infrastructure, but sometimes forgets that remembering them can feel like surveillance.
After a difficult meeting, he walks the perimeter of the building before allowing himself to sit.

Traits · 4

He turns a room into a conversation rather than delivering a speech, unless he senses the crowd is already against him.
He loves beautiful things and sincerely believes public spaces deserve beauty too.
He is generous with strangers but exacting with family, especially his sister.
He is quick to laugh at himself, except when the joke approaches his responsibility for the famine-storehouse disaster.

Flaws · 3

He believes he can manage other people's anger if he gives it a good enough venue.
His taste for spectacle makes sincere work look like campaigning.
He sometimes treats personal trust as a resource to be allocated.

Fears · 3

That his reforms will become another performance staged for the wealthy.
Being forced to choose between his sister's safety and the public interest.
A crowd gathering around a bottleneck with no safe way out.

Wants and needs · 3

He wants voters to judge his reforms on their merits, not his family name.
He needs his sister's candid advice, even when it threatens his campaign.
He wants to confess to Heddra's family but fears making their grief serve his election.

Combat

AC 15 · HP 66 · 35 ft.

Felix avoids a fair duel. He uses greater invisibility or dimension door to disrupt a formation, then controls the field with hypnotic pattern, wall of force, and dissonant whispers. He keeps counterspell for enemy spellcasters and uses fireball only when allies are clear of the blast. If an opponent threatens a bystander, Felix risks his position to draw the threat away. If escape is possible, he takes it and treats survival as a political responsibility, not cowardice.

Background

Felix Wood Elf inherited a fortune in orchard estates, river toll rights, and old obligations in Akhsuwaal. He was raised to treat politics as another form of hosting: remember everyone's preferred seat, keep the wine moving, and never let a guest see the servants arguing. At twenty-seven, he persuaded his father to open a famine storehouse during a failed harvest, then watched the resulting crowd crush a young stablehand named Heddra. Felix had ordered the doors opened but had not thought to order a safe queue. The event changed his politics from ornamental charity to public works, and left him unable to pass a closed food store without counting its exits. He later funded the causeway at Siltcross and built a reputation for extravagant parties that quietly doubled as listening sessions. Now he is a candidate in Akhsuwaal's upcoming election, promising to audit the river tolls and make the causeway network public. His elder sister Brindle, who manages the family estates, believes he is about to bankrupt them; his former tutor Hask Vey suspects Felix's campaign has been infiltrated by the very toll collectors he means to displace. Felix still sends money to Heddra's surviving family, but has never told them who ordered the doors opened.

Role in the story

A flamboyant reform candidate who can become an ally, a political obstacle, or a source of complicated patronage. His campaign attracts people seeking real change and opportunists seeking access to his fortune. Player characters may uncover the campaign leak, investigate the river tolls, or decide whether his hidden culpability changes what justice should look like.

“Felix had ordered the doors opened but had not thought to order a safe queue.”
