"Mell" for short.
A male halfling paladin and a Traveler.
Description
Intense young halfling in studded leather.
Background
Mell's family were professionals who had a more complex nomadic schedule, rotating through other nomadic groups. Mell was a popular young halfling and would often lead children in little gangs. Unsurprisingly, these young halflings were into pranks and petty thefts. After getting in trouble attempting to steal something from another group of older halflings, with the intent of returning it to the people it was stolen from.
This caused quite a big stink. Mell was informed he would be forbidden from traveling for a year, and would be living with his Great Aunt Thistlia in a halfling settlement outside a human town. Thistlia set Mellifluous on a strict course of education. At first the explanation was that Mell had been selected to be a special protector of the halflings, but eventually it became clear he was being trained to become a paladin and join the Holy Militant. Mell took to it all enthusiastically, and stayed with it even after the year was up.
He joined the Order officially for his apprenticeship. He was chosen to be one of the Bagadrak Five (basically top five halfling rookies--Bagadrak was a famous halfling Traveler who, at the Siege of Templin, requested reinforcements as "two hundred militia -- or five halflings." (Reinforcements were not possible and Bagadrak died in the fall of the town))) -- but before the ceremony, he and all the other soon-to-graduate apprentices were pushed out into service. Mell was lucky enough to get an Hourglass of Vigilance before being pushed out onto the roads.
