Aled Verthi Appearance and Overview: Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 23 Birthday: 3, Summer 489AV Eye Color: Blue Hair Color: Light Brown Skin Tone: Medium Weight: 170lbs Height: 5' 11'' Character Concept On first impression Aled can be held as a calm, confident, and even self-absorbed person; however, more often than not this proves only to be a front put on to cover up any shortcomings he may otherwise present. Analytic in nature, Aled would prefer to take in a person's body language, observe a monster's attack patterns, or compare a route next to another to find one less traveled; however, he has been known to act drastically and irrationally at times for reasons he chooses to keep to himself. Aled has a twisted sense of honor and morality, unreliably teetering between trustworthy and treacherous. *Likes: Animals, Bartering, Vivid Conversation *Dislikes: Nuits, Bullies (Inflicting physical harm), Wines Character History Aled was born in Syliras to his father, Alsbane Verthi, and mother, Aysuno Verthi. His family was well off, though they lived in the poorest of conditions due to his father's habits. His father was a crooked merchant who bought second rate materials and sold them at unreasonable prices and wasted the money on gambling and harlots. His mother did what she could to provide for the family, working as an underpaid seamstress for a nearby leather and armor merchant. During his childhood, Aled spent most of his time running the streets of Syliras with a few other children or working for his father, and accidentally taking in the same twisted habits his father had. All the while Aled's mother would shun him taking after his father leaving him with a constant tug-of-war struggle on morality. When Aled was nine years old, his father took up a sales opportunity in the old mining town, Sunberth. Unfortunately, his father underestimated Sunberth's short tolerance for being taken advantage of and late one night Aled's mother was poisoned in her sleep by a robed assassin. To further pay for his newly found debt, Aled's father soon sold his wife's corpse to a local Nuit who promptly assumed his new host and disappeared as quickly as he came. Bitter and confused, Aled struck his father in the chest with a blade a few days later and found himself wandering the streets of Sunberth as an orphan. Aled was later taken in by Vyrus Caisor, an elderly woman and avid swordsman passing through Sunberth at the time. Vyrus took Aled with her on her travels back to the city of Nyka where she decided to keep and raise him herself. Eventually Vyrus would pass on his twenty-first birthday leaving Aled her home and possessions. On Aled's twenty-third birthday he sold the house and left Nyka behind to head towards Zeltiva to try and find a new beginning. And so the next saga in Aled's life starts now... |
