[Aladon]

Appearance and Character Concept Appearance Race: Isur Gender: Male Age: 60 Birthday: 17th, Summer, 457AV Birthplace: Sultros Avatar Model: Tyler Bachtel Appearance: Aladon Blackforge Sultros toned athletic frame stands at a height of 5'0” and weighs around 200lbs. He has silver veins running underneath his pale skin. He has short dark brown with intense blue eyes. Aladon is left handed, so his left a arm a gift given to him by Izurdin himself is a dark red color while his well muscled right arm is pale with silver veins running through it. Aladon body builds not become a hulking mass of muscle like some of his Isur peers. He wants to perfect the body that Isurdin gave him and work smaller more athletic body form. He works with some weight lifting, but he focus more on running and martial training helped him to tone his body. Working in the mines and the black-smithy of Riverfall and Sultros, Aladon muscles bulk up to the current muscle tone it is today. Normally, Aladon wheres black boots, black cotton pants and long black jacket with a grey or no shirt underneath at night or in a cities like Sultros or Riverfall, but in Syka where it hot and humid most of the year, the young Isur tends to just where a pair of long flowing linen white pants with a white linen vest, sandals, and a broad brim hat in the settlement. However if he heads out into the jungle to look for raw materials for his trade, he tends to dresses himself in simple leather armor, Isurian made retractable metal shield (Heirloom), bastard sword, backpack, and a pick ax. Character Concept Being in the shadow of his other two sisters, Aladon always felt like he needed to go above and beyond to prove himself to his father, his father's wife, and clan that he was worthy to carry the name Blackforge and bear the honor of being a part of the Sultros Clan since he was conceived by through affair with a woman from the Terras Clan. The youngest and only son and bastard of Coludon Blackforge Soltros and Idreil Whitestone Terras. Aladon went into the trades to pursue perfection since he was told in secret by his father's wife Alderi Blackforge Soltros that he tarnished from birth by his father's dishonorable act of conceiving him with another women. Essentially, home life in Sultros was terrible for young Aladon since he was shunned by his father's wife, and he barely saw his birth mother who treated him like a apprentice and distance herself from his father's family. When he did see his birth mother, she tended to treat him like a friend and mentor and less of mother. It was sad, but eventually he grew numb to the emotional pain and moved on with his life. Aladon strongest bond was with his father. Caludon knew of his wife dislike for his bastard son, so he did his best to act as a buffer between to the two. Caludon doted on all his children, but he made a special exception with Aladon since he felt guilty for putting him such a sticky situation. Aladon adored his father, and he taught him how to think and act like a member of the Sultros Clan. Caludon Blackforge was a Metal Smith by trade, but he enjoyed studying the field of geology and volunteered in the mines. His fondest memories with his father was his one on one trips into the mines and to the surface where he taught his son geology and mining techniques. It was grunt work for the young Isur, but it taught the boy humility and pride in even the simplest jobs. He was his father assistant as he lead the other children through the mines to learn geology. He even had to lead small groups of two other kids when he separated from his father. Caludan played both father and mother to his son, so he wouldn't feel so isolated with the rest of his family. Even if Aladon had a hard time loving his father's wife and mother Alderi Blackforge, he still respected the former warrior of the Coligas Clan. She wanted all her children, even Aladon, to learn the ways of the sword and basic self defense because in her words, 'We are Blackforge, and we will stand steadfast against the storm.' In Aladon younger days, he just thought his “mother's” words were just military jargon, but when he got older those words kept him alive when events around him got dire. She was a perfectionist in martial arts like Idreil was to her craft, so she was often brutal and unrelenting in her teaching method. However, the martial training distracted him from his profession enough calm his mind, and it gave the young man a since of pride in his family, clan, kingdom, and Izurdin. Aladon loved his birth mother even if she wasn't the greatest mother in the world. Idreil Whitestone Terras was a eccentric perfectionist when it comes to weapon tinsmith. Also she carved her own molds, so she taught him the simple art of carving. She believed if a weapon wasn't perfect. It should be thrown in the scrap heap and melted down to make something worthy of Izurdin. It was frustrating for Aladon to apprentice under her because she was just as critical of his work than she was of her own work. It was stressful for him, but in the end, he learned not to be satisfied with less quality work. Idriel wasn't the motherly figure that he always dreamed of having. She was dedicated to her work, and she treated her son like clump of steal needed to be molded into a masterpiece. For the longest time, he never understood what his father saw in her other than her beauty. However, the longer he spent time with her, he noticed that she was focused women with mischievous side to her. She was very sociable and charming in her own weird way. She was quick to laugh or come up with witty jokes to lighten the mood in the room. In time, he realized that Idriel didn't have time to raise him because of her dedication to her art, so she did the next best thing teach him how to be a smith and a man. These are the three people in his life who helped forge him into the person that he is today. Aladon wants to make a impact in the world, but he his only tools is a smithing hammer, a pick, and an advil. The are simple tools, but his father told him that even the grandest crafted piece was just composed out of simple parts and put together by simple tools. It was the will of their creator through blood, sweat, and tears makes masterpieces. Aladon lives by this world view along with the teaching of his beloved god Izurdin. The young Isur isn't a warrior. He doesn't go out looking to take a life for the sake trivial things like glory, fame, or wealth; however, he will defend his lively hood, friends, family, and property to the death if need be. However, he doesn't spend all his time staring into a forge, pounding on a anvil, or training with his sword. He does enjoy taking a break and collecting his thoughts and enjoying the masterpiece Mizahar that Izurdin created for him.[/font]

Aladon's History Aladon spent most of his early years (From age One to forty) in the city of Sultros were he was school by his family, Clan, and society as a whole on how to be Isur. His childhood was tough being a bastard in a proud family, but the three adults in his life shaped his life in a ways that he could only admit when he left his homeland stronger. At the age of forty, he left Sultros for Wind Reach. He didn't really know why he went to Wind Reach right when he became a adult. He just felt a calling to the city on the volcano. Skyinarta was the biggest volcano on the continent and it intrigued him to forge in the heart of a volcano. Not to mention being around beautiful red haired human women and giant eagles. The whole concept of Wind Reach felt like a dream living in a city in the clouds. However reality has a funny way of kicking him in the arse, and he quickly realized the Inarta society was stifling. First, in his opinion, the caste system worked for the Inarta, but he felt as a Isur that his work was taken advantage off by the upper castes. Especially when he wasn't compensated for services rendered from his work. Giving Endals work that he made for free felt like robbery if they didn't pay for it. If he expressed his opinion, he was quick put back into place by the 'lords' of Wind Reach. In the end, he learned Endals were all arrogant dicks. On the other hand, the Dek who did the grunt work were mere slaves to Wind Reach. It bothered him, but he knew that he couldn't do nothing because of it because it just how it is. He spent five years in the city, and he eventually got sick of the bird shyte and left the doomed city. From age forty five to sixty, Aladon spent most of time in the city of Riverfall. He spent five years working in the mines and studying at the Hall of Stone. Eventually, he got a job working in a black-smithy as a blacksmith and metalsmith. For fifteen years, his life in Riverfall was unremarkable. He kept telling himself that he was going to go back to Sultros every years, but the beauty and culture of Riverfall kept from leaving every year. He met a few people, went to work, and did his job. In a city of giant blue male warriors, the blacksmith wasn't a tall compared to the blue giants, so he didn't want to standout either because he was a comfortable with his height at five foot, and he didn't want to be any shorter or deader if he started trouble in the city. The Isur was perfectly content to staying unremarkable and live a normal law abiding life in the city. Eventually, he heard of a newly established city in the Falyndar called Syka. Well it wasn't much of a city like Riverfall, but it was a settlement. The idea something completely new started to worm into the mind of the comfortable Isur, and he eventually got up the courage to venture to the jungle to see this new settlement for himself.
