Dorian Storm

Dorian Storm is an air genasi bard who appeared in Exandria Unlimited and Campaign Three of Critical Role. He is played by Robbie Daymond.

Appearance
Dorian has sky-blue skin, crystal-blue eyes, and jet-black hair that falls in an ombre finishing in white and sky-blue just past his shoulders. He is 6'1" and more lightweight than he appears. Most of his clothes and his lute are sunburst blue, but the inside of his cape is colored the oranges and reds of a sunset.

Personality
Dorian is well spoken and charismatic. He seems to have come from a very secluded place, and likes to see different kinds of people living together. Dorian appears to have left home to look for a better life, but he often dodges questions about his past, seemingly uncomfortable when talking about it.

After his conversation with Lolth and his offering to give her Poska in exchange for power, Dorian's alignment switched from Chaotic Good to Chaotic Neutral.

Background
Born with the given name Bronte, he "left that name behind" and took the stage name Dorian Storm. He left home around Misuthar 842 PD and began playing gigs in Emon around Quen'pillar that year, seven months later.

When Poska said Dorian seems to come from money, Dorian nervously brushed it off and claimed to just be a humble bard. Dorian had lived "a very cloistered life" before he began adventuring, and he desperately wants to prove himself.

A Test of Worth
When camping out for the night, Dorian had a dream where he saw Fyra being pulled into the darkness and tried to push against it. The dream began to shift as he called out to the Spider Queen to bring back his memories from the past week, in exchange for him handing over Poska. While this caused a shift in his alignment, Lolth kept her promise and gave back his memories.

Dariax Zaveon
Dorian has referred to Dariax as a friend, which Dariax appeared touched by. Dorian told Poska that "if he doesn't like someone, I don't like someone."

Fy'ra Rai
Dorian was a little hesitant in trusting Fy'ra Rai originally when she joined the party given the amount of time he has spent with Orym, Dariax, Fearne, and Opal. He gradually respects her more as she proves trustworthy on their journey south of Byroden, and into Niirdal-Poc, with her strong urge of protection over the group.

Orym
Dorian's feelings were hurt when Orym expressed alarm about Dorian holding onto the Circlet of Barbed Vision tightly, because for Dorian it wasn't so much about personal power but about ensuring that their party collectively kept stewardship of the evil artifact.
