Besmit Academy
Besmit Academy NPCs - By B. Kellestine v.1 2021
Class: Noble
Age: 57
Horatio Besmit III is the eldest son of a wealthy family who inherited both the lands around the academy he would come to find, and a small fortune which he used to found the school. This fair-skinned hillsman has green eyes and salt and pepper hair that he slicks back. He seems to possess a relatively uncomplicated wardrobe, typically wearing suits which are mostly black.
Though wealthy, he himself is not a terribly well educated man, and is often regarded by many of the other instructors as a bit incompetant, if harmless. He is mostly a figurehead for the school, leaving real administrative work to his subordinates and usually signing cheques when the need arises. A kind man, and ultimately sympathetic to his students.
Race:Human (Northlander)
Class: Guardian
Age: 36
The Mistress of Arms is a large, imposing northlander woman, standing nearly 6’4” tall, with a broad frame and a hard, angular face. She has intense eyes the colour of cold ash and short-cropped fiery red hair. She is typically dressed in man’s clothing, if not her full suit of heavy armor.
Agnhis, at first glance, is quite frankly a terrifying woman due to her size and demeanor, but at her core she is a warm, matronly woman who treats her students as if they were her own children. She is only hard on students because she knows well enough that a poorly trained warrior is one that gets themselves or others killed. Mistress Gamdotter wields a great mace and a massive shield, though is competent with most melee weapons and many ranged ones, save most firearms. Rumors have circulated at the school about her having an infatuation with the Dean of Technology, Harry Gedeye, though no students can confirm this as of yet, nor whether or not the other dean holds similar affections towards her.
Race:Half-Elf (Tallis-Vyss/Hillsman)
Class: Ranger/Druid of Jaidaia
Age: 92
Wynne Sidhe, who prefers to be directly addressed by her name without any monikers, is a slender, buxom woman with long, silver hair, fair skin, a round face with high cheekbones, full lips that always tilt into a crooked smile, and almond-shaped lavender eyes. She’s regarded as easily the most physically attractive of the faculty, and the list of students who crush on her is a long one. She speaks in a soft, melodious tone, always smiling and slipping into fits of bell-like laughter.
Though one of the more whimsical and easygoing professors, she also tolerates little in the way of nonsense. Students that she suspects are only in her classes because of an attraction to her are typically quickly weeded out, and though she acknowledges that things like hunting and animal rearing are necessary, she has no tolerance for cruelty or mistreatment of them. She is seldom seen outside of the classroom without her companion, a massive 290 lb albino mountain lion named Leon. Though mostly docile, Leon is exceptionally protective of Wynne, and extremely perceptive.
Race:Tallis-Vyss
Class: Arch-Wizard of the Third Circle
Age: 98
Archmagus Ranoine is a short, decrepit Vyssian with a sour demeanor and sharp features. He usually wears his dark hair in a closely cropped, almost military haircut. The Dean’s eyes are dark, wide, keen and intense, often described by former students as like daggers. Though frail and sickly looking, he’s a competent wizard and is almost never seen without his Archmagus robes.
Alan is an unpleasant, miserable man who doesn’t even seem to enjoy teaching or children in general, and is a stickler for rules and structure. Students who can not follow instruction do not tend to do well in his programs, and often flunk the program, and Ranoine carries no sympathy for these people, or really anyone. On campus, he is generally alone, as even the other faculty don’t seem to care for his bitter, cynical, and aloof demeanor.
Race:Human (Tashrani)
Class: Paragon Bard
Age: 32
To say the least, Zanio Frell is an animated individual. The short, portly tashrani man dances with almost every step, dresses in gaudy, almost costume-esque clothing. His wavy, shaggy brown mane frames his face, a stark contrast to the neatly trimmed and oiled beard gracing his face. Zanio is almost always cheerful and friendly, making jokes and treating his students like peers more than subordinates, making him easily the most well liked dean, and probably the most well liked instructor in the entire school. Dean Frell is almost never seen outside of his quarters and the School of Fine Arts, where he is almost always painting, building sets, or altering costume clothing.
