Born to a Dec, Darlien's father hid his son's existence and his own latent magical ability from the Dominus unsuccessfully, though Darlien was thirteen when he was detected. During an attempt to flee, Darlien's father was slain buying time for his son and wife to escape, slaying two Dominus before being beheaded by a third. Ending up in Benaduza, where they were detained for having weapons on board, Darlien and his mother were tossed into a dungeon and left for dead. Darlien was freed in a prison riot, though his mother was wounded. It was around this time when Darlien's magic began awakening, accidentally causing a forest fire due to a sudden blast of flame. Darlien proved to have exceptionally powerful but hard to control magic. By the time they reached Neniza his mother had passed due to her infected wound. As the Nenizans were multicultural and quick to adopt others who adopted the call to Order, there were a number of magically talented men amongst them, fleeing persecution and the Artifice, and Darlien was tutored for the rest of his adolescence by some of these men, allowing him much greater control of his abilities. As an adult, he is set to become one of the most powerful mages in the world, though mage-hunters are always a threat once you leave the forests of Neniza. His first action upon leaving was to take a boat to Praelium and setting a small village to the torch, killing all who lived within it, before sailing to On'hino and beginning to spread tales of the Praelian weakness to the warlike On'hinians, attempting to develop a following to lead an assault on the Praelians. [h3][center]Appearance[/center][/h3] [hr] Darlien's overuse of magic has had an effect on his appearance, costing him his left ring finger and causing his hands to look horrifically burned, and it's only getting worse, with his face becoming a horrifically pale white. He is lithe and muscular, with light brown hair that has began to bleach as a result of his magic use. [h3][center]Character[/center][/h3] [hr] Quick-witted and hot-headed, Darlien is adventurous and youthful. Tutored in blade and magic, he's also quite arrogant, his skill is downplayed due to his "Attack, attack, attack" mentality, but he's far more intelligent than he looks, able to speak Gnomish as well as if he were born a halfling. Darlien is also learned in world history and philosophy, and can identify landmarks he'd only seen once as if he'd seen them every day of his life. Darlien's luck and lack of need for anything else has lead to him becoming complacent, and he often fights lazily no matter the opponent, a fact that sometimes leads to his defeat. Despite this, when he gets serious, Darlien is incredibly focused, perhaps too focused, leading to him being caught off guard by things that come from elsewhere. Darlien is idealistic and caring for anyone who isn't Praelian, making actions based on morality, but also attempting to be pragmatic. Darlien's personal goal is to kill as many Praelians as possible, innocent or not, for what they did to his family, not considering Praelians people, despite being one himself. Darlien also never admits fault for any wrong action, instead blaming others rather than himself. [h3][center]Skills[/center][/h3] [hr] Darlien is a talented swordsman and incredible mage. He's comparable to Gennio e'Dux in personal combat and is only getting stronger by the moment. Other than that, Darlien is also skilled at tracking and archery, though he does not carry a bow.
