Drake Reinhold

[Drake Reinhold]

Drake Reinhold Basic Information: Race: Human Age:18 Birthday: 81th of Winter, 495 AV Gender: Male Physical Description: Drake is a well-built individual, being 6'2" tall and weighing in at around 180 lbs. He’s somewhat tan, with black hair and brown eyes. Many people are often intimidated by his stature and physical prowess, which Drake considers both a blessing and a curse. He has several scars, most prominent however is the one on his face, a constant reminder of his background on the streets and foraging for food in the forest. He has one tattoo on his arm, an elegant design which he got to symbolize his change from violence, to a more calm disposition, in order to avoid injuries resulting from the Flux or otherwise. Most people tend to judge Drake before they meet him based on his looks, which couldn't possibly be farther from his personality. The scars on his face and what’s in his heart are two entirely different subjects. Character Concept: Drake is a very calm individual, although that change was wrought very recently. Realizing his anger could hurt himself or others, he vowed to exercise more control over not only his actions, but his thoughts as well. A generally sociable person, Drake enjoys the company of the few people not intimidated by his looks. Enjoying long exercise sessions, Drake uses bodybuilding and brawling to distract him from issues he might be facing, or to help him overcome obstacles in life. Instead of using his strength against his enemies, Drake prefers to fight defensively, doing the bare minimum to protect himself and those he cares about. Rather than use his own strength offensively, he uses his enemies’ strength against them, utilizing sweeping blocks and parries to disarm and disorient his foes. Character History: Drake was born in Syliras, amongst the dirt and grime of the poorer districts. Like most, his mother died in childbirth. Unfortunately, he was left in the custody of his father, who was as cruel and heartless as the streets they lived on. He wasn’t the best at protecting himself, and definitely wasn’t the strongest of the kids. Naturally, Drake got bullied by his peers. His father both physically and verbally abused him, saying he was worthless, and then would hit him for reasons such as not standing up for oneself. Drake soon got so fed up, he started hitting back which led to Drake being thrown out of the house, beaten up and with only the clothing on his back for comfort. As he grew, his anger got worse. He started getting stronger and taking it out on others. Soon he became what he feared most, a bully. It was then, when he got caught stealing, that his uncle took responsibility for him. His uncle, a wise and venerable middle-aged man, taught him to control his anger, and how to use the Flux in offense as well as in defense. Along with a bit of Sword Training to help with some variety. He gave him a small job as a personal trainer for the well-to-do’s in Syliras, giving Drake a head start, financially as well as physically. Training the wealthy of Syliras refined his manners, as well as bolstered his patience with others. It also allowed him to train physically too, while simultaneously paying his bills. A win-win situation, Drake has finally decided to move out to reduce the strain on his Uncle, and to go help others the way he was helped, by getting a second chance.
