AppearanceRace: Akalak.
Gender: Male.
Birthday: 471 AV, 21st day of Fall.
Birthplace: Riverfall.
Appearance: Lydan is no exception to the muscular prowess and athleticism of his race, he is very well built for his age and stands at a gigantic 7'5". He carries an azure hue to his flesh, and his eyes are a simple, pale shade of golden, along with his jet black hair. Weighing at 252 pounds, his obsession with fitness and the art of combat is visible all across his body mass.
Character ConceptLydan is an interesting take on a Akalak, his "light" personality and "dark" personality both seem to be in agreement towards the code of honor and ethics, but each seem to be odds or argument with one another and how this should be executed.
The first personality, is an almost pacifist and egalitarian-minded individual believing every man and woman of every race has their right to an opinion and behavior, that the only purpose in life is to find one. He's a former cynic and currently debating as to what deity to worship, his take on life is agnosticism. The first personality is laidback and believes that all problems in this world will work themselves out.
The second, or "Darker" personality, is damned well unamused with that. "Might makes right," and "Survival of the fittest," he is very straight forward in friendships and attachments, something of a blunt one. He's willing to commit dark deeds but not without proper justification, "Bloodshed is always a second or third option, fun if we don't get to go through the first one!" He craves violence, but hates murder, he is a very hyper-active one.
Neither of the two are rarely seen in combat without their Lakan, an object they value and train with almost every day. As for the nature in which personalities swap, they agree that each is to receive certain hours of the day and certain days of the week. Unfortunately this does cause difficulty in time tracking.
Character HistoryBorn in Riverfall from a Konti woman named Lydia, and a male named Jak'athan, Lydan's childhood was different from no other. He trained from an earlier age, became particularly aggressive through much of his teens (from the age of ten though) and endured the Rite of Trial at age fifteen, emerging with two or three other youth. He was extremely obedient to his father, although regarded him much more of a master than anything as he begun to become distanced from his biological parents, he favored daggers throughout his life due to their light weight, quick movement capacity and quick reflex capacity.
After declaring his intensions as a man focused in the arts of stealth and assassination, things were particularly interesting in training with his new master. As you may or may not notice he is a very large figure, and from his age of fifteen he was also considered such back then. He was easily detected when his toes creaked against some floors, to this day he still trains in such arts. His Rite of Passage came as he hit the age of thirty, and he went with a band of his peers and after setting up an ambush of sorts of which resulted in the death of a Zith.
At the age of 41 his father pressed him to seek out a mate. He agreed, furthmore stating that he will proceed to do so over the Summer.
