[LFA] Pally who's Over It^TM

Request

I play a Vengeance paladin in my main game. He's, as one might put it, "done." He's the only martial in our little party and he summarily gets clobbered on every session (last session he nearly got eaten by a dragon while everyone stood sixty feet away, but oh well, right? I'm sure those torched fang marks will wash right out). This would be okay if he cared about the quest, but he had the rug pulled out from under him, so to speak. His personal quest of vengeance has been completely tossed aside by some magical hocus-pocus call to rebuild some ancient city thousands of leagues away. Melbourne the paladin is stuck ruling and rebuilding by some odd form of inheritance alongside three imbeciles that constantly fling the party into needless danger, all while his people suffer far away. Getting beaten up for a cause you can't make yourself care too much about isn't a great place to be, but that's exactly where Melbourne is.

Melbourne is a middle-aged man with dark hair (I usually picture it being long) and a good amount of muscle. I often picture him having a sleep-deprived look of "ugh, why" on his face at all times. He wears chainmail with a dark tunic thrown over the top, emblazoned with his bright holy symbol of tipped scales (it glows alongside his eyes and blade when he smites dat evil). He's got a helmet but my headcanon is very inconsistent on how that looks. He's got a greatsword and probably one of those sweet capes guys like this seem to always wear. Hopefully that's enough to work with but still open enough for interpretation! Thanks, artists!
