Name: Damian "Blades Gerard Age: 24 Magic: N/A Magic Level: N/A History: Damian was born to parents who were both enlisted in the Edolas Royal Army. His father was a Captain with a brilliant tactical mind and his mother a compassionate sergeant serving in another regiment. His childhood consisted of following his mother's regiment around and spending time with his father when the two were on leave, with weapons and hand to hand training filling much of the family's time. When he turned eight, his mother was transferred to his father's unit and they spent more time together, with Damian enlisting, unofficially, at the age of fourteen. Two years later, when he turned sixteen, tragedy struck. During a battle with some of the separatists that had sprung up, his father took a knife to the back, even as the young man, seeing the fatal blow coming, rushed to try and stop it. The culprit still died, his head removed by Damian's claymore, but his father died on the field of battle. His mother took a fatal wound to her torso from a flurry of arrows, and she died in a medical tent, her son crying at her side. Her final words asked him to find and join a guild and escape the life of killing he'd lived since he was young. Promising her he would, he set out and joined the guild Phoenix Wing after meeting another ex- soldier by the name of James Hunt. After both joining, they often went on jobs together, complementing each others fighting styles and skills well. However, two years after joining, they found themselves on the opposite side of the battlefield from Maddox, the infamous leader of the guild White Hydra. Surging forward together, the three had an extensive battle before Maddox was able to get in a lucky blow to James, crippling him. Kicking Damian away, he made him watch as he snapped James's neck and then broke Damian's arm. Leaving him to die, Damian's hate and will to survive kept him from becoming food for local scavengers, and he even managed to carry James's lifeless body back to the guild hall. Afterwords, he left Phoenix Wing disappeared and became a freelance mercenary, biding his time until he and Maddox could settle things once and for all.
