Background:
All his life, Toustain dreamed of being a hero like the ones in the stories. Born of the relationship between his father Baron Rolf Roumare in the Kingdom of Cormyr.
When he was a young boy, his father, Lord Rolf of House Roumare, one of the 25 major noble families of the Kingdom of Cormyr, a renowned noble bard, would return from his travels with many incredible tales and songs that he had heard or written; mighty warriors triumphing over evil and earning the praise of all who heard of them. Toustain's two older brothers wanted to become like their father, to meet these heroes and sing songs of their deeds, but he never understood why they would settle for witnessing the greatness of others; Toustain wanted greatness for himself. While they studied their instruments and learnt lordly pursuits as their birth demanded, Toustain went outside, pretended their his crude sticks were real weapons, and fought great battles in his imagination.
As he grew older and his father's journeys kept him away for increasingly long periods, the young man spent more and more of his time watching the local guards practice and keeping the blacksmith company, admiring his handiwork. Some of these men saw his potential and began to teach him, informally at first, but soon he was joining their training sessions. Toustain would only return home to sleep and eat, unless his father was home; he would neglect my responsibilities to listen to every story he would tell and dream of having songs sung of his own deeds someday.
One day, word came that a small army regiment was making their way through their lands, making trouble in each town they entered, and would be passing through the town in a few days time. The town was frightened and the guards promised to protect them, but they all knew there were not enough of them to do any good. Toustain rallied the men of the town to stand up and protect their homes, and taught them some simple fighting techniques they could use with their farming tools. When the army came, they were not expecting a whole town to be waiting for them, ready to fight, and after a small conflict they ran like the cowards they were. The town thanked and praised Toustain and he reveled in their admiration.
Soon enough, he left home and moved eastward to Tantras to began his training as a paladin, the mightiest and most righteous of all heroes. Toustain had never cared much for religion, but he found Torm who saw that his devotion to helping others was true and was accepted to be one of his warriors. Toustain believed that with help of Torm he would become a man of legend in his own time, and stories will be told of him in every tavern and home in the land.
Though he believes he is on a mission to fight for good and defend the defenseless, Toustain is really driven by the desperate need for the approval and praise of others, believing deep down that becoming famous will mean he has value in the world. This comes from the lack of attention and interest from his father, who spent most of his life adventuring and praising great heroes instead of being there for his family. The dream of becoming a famous paladin is nothing more than an attempt to earn his father's love and respect, although he himself would never admit that.
As such, Toustain will behave honorably and as truthfully as possible, but may manipulate people and situations if he believes it will help his reputation. He pays lip service to being a selfless hero, and will display false modesty when he feels it is expected of him, but can't help but brag about his accomplishments in hopes that he can impress everyone he meets. He is in denial about his true motives and behavior and will vehemently defend his honor if any incongruities are ever exposed.
He will rarely turn down a request for help or opportunity for adventure, but will sometimes make decisions based on what would make the greatest story and bring him more fame, rather than what is really right or prudent. If both aims coalesce then so much the better.
