Name: Arton Yule
Age: 22
Species: Draeni - These humanoids possess an increased resilience to pain, able to withstand blows that most could not. Their bodies can withstand extreme temperatures and possess a naturally high body heat, but this requires them to eat much more than average. Their typical features include some shade of charcoal-gray skin, black eyes except for a colored iris, black horns, and a pair of black fangs on their bottom and top lines of teeth. Draeni express very little through physical expressions in public, requiring a trained eye to pick up on the nuanced movements they do make. That being said, this makes Draeni very good at reading the expressions of others but struggle to recognize sarcasm and suggestive tones. Their special eyes allow them to perceive a wider spectrum of colors and are better at distinguishing between different shades.
Draeni, once persecuted, secured their place among the other races for their warriors daring and courageous acts during the Battle for Existence where many sacrificed their lives to protects others. While the emergence of the WAA and a general acceptance for all people has encouraged Draeni to re-intergrate with the rest of the word, they are still a rare sight outside of their homeland of Roughann.
Class: Defender (Sword skils/Martial Arts) - Utilizes the user's innate physical capabilities and combines them with self-boosting Martial Arts to make them a wall between the enemy and the rest of the group. Defenders are trained to withstand large amounts of damage and keep fighting to the last breath. Their expertise is the sword and shield but their training covers most kinds of melee weapons.
Rank: Adventurer
Homeland: Roughann
The kingdom of Roughann lies within what the citizens call 'The Mother's Embrace' which refers to the steep mountain ranges and dangerous terrain along its borders that make it difficult for travelers and armies alike to enter the isolated country. The first Draeni settled the area to protect themselves from the other races for their 'demon-like' appearance and reserved nature, placing them as the target of an ancient period of persecution. Though the kingdom of Roughann has freely opened its borders to the outside world, the path into their land still remains treacherous.
A large ceremony is held every year to acknowledge the kingdom’s newest generation of adventurers, often the most promising mages and warriors of the kingdom. This is the only time when all the streets of Roughann’s cities fill with food, dance, and music.
Every city in Roughann has a large, communal spire located at its center that contains all of the city's commerce and entertainment. Naturally all of the housing is located around the spire making every city circular in shape, with the most expensive housing closest to the spire. The greatest of these spires resides with the capital city of Dremore, serving additionally as a massive citadel for defense.
Roughann is a direct monarchy meaning that the King or Queen has the final decision on most matters. There is no nobility in Roughann because the government is operated by elected officials deemed best suited for the job. The majority of these officials are retired adventurers who returned to Roughann with all the experience they have accumulated. Every descendant of royal blood is required to join the WAA for a minimum amount of 10 years before they are able to take the throne, unless the current ruler dies.
Personality: Honest to a fault, Arton is perhaps the most trustworthy companion an adventurer could have. Unlike the majority of his race, he had learned to overcome the reserved nature of his people and has become more open with both his expressions and words. He does from time to time slip into an almost unreadable state when he is not actively engaged in social interactions. He is incredibly humble when it comes to his own abilities but is always looking to spar and/or fight stronger opponents so that he may get stronger. It is only when battling against monsters that he shows the fierce side hidden within him.
Appearance: Arton has bright yellow iris amongst his black eyes and three long claw marks extending from under his right ear to his chin that has long since healed.
History: Arton was born to a large family of farmers on the edge of Roughann’s territory, working alongside his nine siblings to tend to the crops and animals. Their farm was part of a small community called Ebonglen, where his best friend Furi also lived. The two of them would always go one their own little adventures into the forest surrounding Ebonglen, never venturing too far into the dense,dark woods.
One day a set of demon wolves set upon the residents of Ebonglen, catching the local militia off-guard. Arton’s father was part of that militia and was home at the time so he went out to face the monster threat with only a couple others. Despite their valiant efforts, they were all killed before the town blacksmith, a human by the name of Cyth, vanquished all that remain like a hero from the fairytales.
Arton had watched all of this take place from a hidden spot and after grieving for their fathers, both he and Furi approached the blacksmith to demand to train them. Demands turned to begging as he initially refused, but finally gave in to their constant pleas. As payment for their lessons, they had to help with the forge along with their chores at home. Over the next few years, Cyth taught them the ways of the warrior and both progressed fast, though Furi was notably progressing faster.
The two decided to venture deep into the forest around Ebonglen, armed with weapons they had made themselves, to seek out a pack of large rats that had been terrorizing the farmer’s fields. What laid in store were not some oversized rats, but a pack of demon wolves that took the lives of their father’s years ago. They were barely teenagers and were suddenly fighting for their lives.
Furi did her best to protect Arton, as he was the weaker of the two, but they were quickly overwhelmed. Arton could nothing but watch as the beasts swarmed Furi and knocked her to the ground. Her screams of pain were the last thing he heard as she was dragged deeper into the forest. Fury filled Arton’s veins and despite his own wounds, he fought hard against the remaining demon wolves. His fury was not enough to overcome them and if it wasn’t for Cyth timely intervention, he would have died right there.
No search party could find any traces of Furi or the demon wolves that took her, only the lingering presence of their evil. Fueled by his guilt and hatred, Arton spent the rest of his time in Roughann honing his abilities. When the day came for him to officially join the WAA and begin life as an adventurer, he set off with two goals in mind. Protecting the lives of the innocent from monsters and finding any clues about what happened to Furi.
