Admittedly, I hadn't noticed that on your sheet, my mistake! Also - former-barbarian Captains for the win.

There Will Always Be Blood

Aedan Yorke

Aedan Yorke

"Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil."
-Thomas Mann

---

Name:

Aedan Geoffrey Yorke.

Nickname:

Kingsblade (Or 'Heathen' to many)

Age:

Thirty-one

Gender:

Male.

Sexuality:

Heterosexual

Relationship Status:

Unmarried

Rank:

Captain of the Guard

Title:

Ser Yorke The Godless, Guard-Captain of Noble Falor

Kingdom:

Falor

In Depth Appearance:

Clearly of a northern origin, Aedan's skin is a paler shade of white, and his eyes a deep blue. His hair is a short, dark brown, and his face is covered in a trimmed beard which extends a little more than two inches from his face. Aedan's jaw is squared, and his teeth white, for the most part a handsome individual. However, his eyes are generally somewhat baggy, and there are more than a few scars - mostly along his arms, which detract from the man's appearance. He stands at six foot, and his build is athletic and muscular.

Usually he wears a maroon jacket with a brown tunic beneath, his armour his fairly simple comparatively to common, and more regal guards-wear. Mostly treated and studded hide, his armour is primarily around his neck, shoulders and upper arms, along with a pair of iron graves which serve as the strongest part of his armour. Around his neck, he wears a carved bone amulet of an axe.

M Y Q U I R K S

Habits | Quirks | Oddities

• Pulling at individual hairs of his beard, particularly around the chin.
• Tugging on threads of his clothing.
• Speaks with a clearly northern accent (somewhat nordic)
• Habit of tapping his fingers against his knuckles
• Regularly humming/whistling a song in his head

Hobbies:

• Gambling
• Sword-play
• Horse-riding

Likes:

• Spiced Food
• A good sense of humour
• Gentlemanly Conduct
• The Perks of Good Fortune
• Alcohol (of any kind)
• Cold Weather
• Honourable Duels

Dislikes:

• Hot Weather
• Priests
• Quiet Nights
• Parties/Feasts
• Immaturity
• Religion
• Dishonourable Actions

Fears:

• Isolation
• Religious Fanaticism
• Snakes
• Loss of Standing/Respect

Personality:

♦ Confident ♦ Hostile ♦ Selfless ♦ Regimental ♦

Fiercely loyal to the kingdom he serves, Aedan holds his image, his duty and his station above all of the more personal aspects of his life. He would, and has sacrificed many personal titles and holdings in order to retain his position as Guard-Captain. Many a dream has been put on hold by Aedan for his duty, but it is not something he lingers on - Aedan enjoys the privileges and perks that come with being a Guard-Captain, and has no desire to give them up. Aedan is gentle and calm when it comes to those he trusts, and especially in relation to Children, whom he has quite the soft-spot for.

As inspired to serve as he is, Aedan can be somewhat abrasive and even hostile when dealing with those he does not already know and trust, especially in recent years. While he appreciates a good joke every now and then, and enjoys relaxing as much as the next person - it can be difficult for Aedan to 'Switch off' at a any point, most of his time is spent focusing on his work and his duty to protecting the Noble family of Falor. Generally, he can appear as somewhat of an ass to most people he comes across, but he doesn't particularly care, Aedan has never attempted to really present a decent image past a loyal and strong guard.

D E F I N I N G M Y P A S T

History:

Born in the north to a group of barbarians, Aedan's village was raided by Falor's military forces when he was young, the raid claiming the life of both his parents. Barely young enough to remember, Aedan was taken in by a Cavalry officer compassionate enough to bring the boy to a better life. Returning to one of Falor's most northern cities - Talonvale - Aedan was raised by the same Cavalry officer who saved him, growing up without a mother, for the man was unmarried. An educated and privileged man, Aedan's step-father was able to teach the boy how to read, and gave him a basic education in most things, including swordplay.

Considering the vast majority of those he grew up around did not know Aedan's origins, he was welcomed wholly into Falor's society, and most of his young life was simple and civilized. When he was sixteen, Aedan joined the Talonvale city guard, performing admirably in the first few years of his appointment. Aedan demonstrated marvelous skills with the sword and an idealism and striving to justice and adherence to law. By the time he was twenty-one, he had become a Lieutenant in the City Guard, and was earning a fair bit. Most of this money went to his father, who at the time had become quite ill, hoping to treat his father through both medicine and prayer, it was not enough, and Aedan's step-father passed away in less than a year.

Grief-stricken by his father's death, Aedan refused to believe that if there was truly a god, they had simply let his father die, and so he became disheartened with the idea of religion, and renounced his ties to it. Having little more for himself in Talonvale apart from his appointment as a City Guardsman, Aedan spoke to the captain, and with his assistance, was able to gain an appointment in the Royal Guard. Aedan found he fit in well with the Royal Guard, already an ideal swordsman and keeper of the peace - but he did not fit well with the sudden perks he received. Aedan never quite dropped his regimental, law-man's attitude, and his holding to his duty did not go unnoticed.

After many years of service, Aedan was appointed to replace the deceased Captain of the Royal Guard, and appointed a knight-hood for his loyal years of service. During the war, Aedan has been as much a soldier answering directly to the King as he has been a guardsman, and the King of Falor has used Aedan for many means, from hunting down and executing spies, to quelling riots in the city.

@reiko
He probably started in the Royal Guard at around 22, so he's been in it for 9 years - I'd be totally down for him being friends with the Count's daughter :3 Also 6'0

@HushedWhispers, Decided to swap the Seabel Guard-Captain for Falor, didn't seem to be anyone making a character from there yet :p

Argus: Olympian Intelligence

@Tearstone
I'll keep your name in case another slot opens up!

Argus: Olympian Intelligence

Lucas Walsh

Location: ARGUS HQ, Athens
Interacting With: Risa @Lady Amalthea

Smirking as he listened to her, Lucas chuckled at her insistence she wouldn't return the clothes, as well as her next comment, shifting up onto his elbow to face her, not reacting a great deal as she shimmied out of the dress, doing little more than let his eyes wander a bit.

"I do how like it looks on you, that's true - but like you said - I think you look good in anything." He teased with a wink, watching her as she redressed herself. Scoffing at her last comment.

His right arm shifted up to catch the dress, unless it was on the woman, it certainly looked more like a piece of discarded but high-quality fabric. Tossing it down to the foot of the bed as he watched her, happy smile plastered onto his face as he remained silent for a few moments. The barracks was always lively, but the rooms themselves seemed deathly silent at almost all times, the walls were thick enough that you couldn't hear a great deal of what was going on outside, made for some privacy, but without someone else there, Lucas might've felt awfully isolated in there.

"If what's yours is mine, dear - can't I just steal back my clothes?" He finally asked with a grin, shifting on his elbow slightly as he kept his upper body facing her.

There Will Always Be Blood

Tossing together a CS for the guard-captain of seabel, should hopefully have it up soon.

Trauceton High - 10 Year Reunion (join today!)

@lovely complex
If she'd do that as a best friend, that works perfectly into Lucas' backstory and reason to be going to the reunion, so we could say that? :p

Trauceton High - 10 Year Reunion (join today!)

@lovely complex
I was thinking he might have been, she would have had to make the effort to become his friend, but he certainly wouldn't have been averse to it!

@Lady Amalthea
I thought the same thing - time to rewatch firefly :P
