Gallades

Personality

Unlike their feminine counterparts, a Gallade is often resolute, quietly going about his business. They can come across as gruff, but will never break a promise to those they are emotionally attached to. Their words tend to be more to the point, but less eloquent, than Gardevoirs As with Gardevoirs, Chaotic and Evil acts cannot be forgiven. They spar frequently, to keep their practice up for when actual combat comes about.

Physical Description

As a Gardevoir averages five foot three, so too does a Gallade. However, they tend to weigh more – at 114.6lbs on average – due to the significantly wider legs and swords within the elbows. They share several traits with the Gardevoir – red eyes, green hair and arms, a red horn on the chest and back, an overall skinny appearance – but their elbows jut out slightly even while not using the sword, they lack the Gardevoir’s dress, and they have a hairstyle of sorts, although this is more aesthetic, potentially to attract a mate from the Gardevoirs. There are alternate colourations, as with the Gardevoir – blue where it is normally green and amber eyes – but again, other colourations are likely artificial.

Relations

Unlike Gardevoirs, Gallades are friendly to dwarves and gnomes, despite the destructive methods they use in mining. This may be because Gallades themselves are physical workers and understand the toil they go through. They are as friendly to elves and humans as Gardevoirs, and the relation between Gallades and Gardevoirs is total. Gallades aren’t, however, fond of magic users – this might be because they are inadept at it, and are jealous or afraid of those who are adept.

Alignment

Gallades tend to vary greatly, a lot more so than Gardevoirs – the Gallades tend to seek blood a lot more, possibly due to their natural weapons. There is no limit as to what a Gallade can align himself to.

Lands

As with Gardevoirs, Gallades tend to prefer open grassy plains, with a source of fresh water if possible.

Religion

As with Gardevoirs, Gallades often worship the Lawful Neutral deity Arceus, if they choose to worship.

Language

Having the same evolutionary roots, Gallades can speak all languages Gardevoirs can. Ralian is their native tongue, and they are likely to speak Common too. However, they speak Ralian with “Gal” and “Ade”, but can still be understood by Gardevoirs and any who speak Ralian.

Names

Again, as with Gardevoirs, they either refer to themselves as Gallade, maintain nicknames for those emotionally close, or go by the names of the race they live with.
