[Theo Popcampio]

THEO POPCAMPIO

AS ABOVE

Theo clocks in at a hundred ninety pounds and stands at six foot and two inches. He keeps a tightly kept beard, Theo's most glaring features might be his solid chin or his straight, stern nose. Onyx colored hair runs long on the top of Theo's head and short on the side, the top is brushed to the side in a loose formation. The eyes of Theo drift in color from hazel to a dark green as the day wanes on. He takes good care of his grooming, a trait that stuck from him one life to another, as such his hair is always well trimmed and he keeps his beard is kept close.

SO BELOW

A defiant, wandering soul, Theo's wise cracking is only overshadowed by his dark humor. Despite his bleak appearances, Theo's has a moral compass that constantly compels him to take the path is good. What's right is right for Theo, unequivocally, and he'd rather challenge a forum full of men before surrendering his own moral compass. He's a big, long talker, with a sword to back it.

Theo used to go by the name of Revan, a member of the Avaric Flame, a merciless group of bandits and cult of Ivac, but a knock on the head took Theo's memory and he invented a newer, more fun-loving persona. However, Theo's old life is not finished with him, and as Theo progresses his past raises more questions and leads to more complications.

He has a notable lack of indifference towards death, and his ironic approach to life makes Theo even wonder if he has any fear. His feelings of regret, remorse, and grief are simply non existent. To this effect, Theo has relatively little in common with average folk.

Revan is gone, for now, and Theo's past life is lost to his own mind. Haunted by the emptiness of his own mind, Theo's main devotion is unraveling the mysteries of his past. Every step he takes, however, leads to another fork in the road. As his new conscious calls he must tow the line between discovering his own story and reshaping the lives of others.

FORGET ME NOT

TALES TOLD BEFORE

Theo was born as the unfortunate happening between a well-to-do scholar and a tavern's serving girl. Fearful of the outcomes of the implications brought on his prestige, career guided his father's words and in turn his mother's actions. The boy became an orphan at birth and a boy with no name or family.

As a child Theo was forced to acquire cunning quickly. Theo chose to even the odds through manipulation. However young, Theo learned the appearance that would draw the pity of others: Helplessness, hunger, and weakness. As a child it was easy, people were eager to give coin to an orphan to renew their conscious. Theo's excess coin brought bread to the mouths other children and bought him classes that taught him to read. An innate desire for knowledge marked Theo at birth, but it also left him with wanting for a better life.

Enter Merrick Truval, the leader of a group called The Avaric Flame. Bandits and a cult of Ivak, they were bad men who had little heart for others, and Merrick was the worst of all. They were harsh and exacting, and their acts of violence were senseless, instilling terror among travelers throughout Sylira and Cyphrus. Murdering rapists with a thirst for slow deaths, their cruelty left stories that only passed behind closed doors.

Merrick saw Theo on the street one day begging. He silently observed as Theo pocketed the coin and returned to a roast turkey that he and his fellows had been splitting. Merrick was drawn to the boy, and questioned him as to why he was begging in the first place. The boy told Merrick to fuck off, but left a solid impression none the less, and he was swept away in the night.

Under his new master, Theo apprenticed as a mage. He was given the name Revan. Revan finally felt some form of acceptance and purpose among the Avaric Flame. His fellow raiders had as much hate for society at large as he. Revan turned his hatred manifest on the usual caravans, and he was born anew as a stone cold killer. Revan's blood lust went far beyond even that of his fellows. He was always at the front of the fight, enthralled by the orgy of violence: He was merely fifteen when he earned the name Revan the Reaper.

However, all good times must come to an end. It was in an act of betrayal that the Avaric Flame was slaughtered. Fighting off an ambush, Merrick ended up overgiving and obliterating the majority of his force. Revan was knocked back by the blast, and suffered head trauma that left him senseless. A few survivors patched Revan together, but even upon recovery Revan was unable to recall who he was.

Revan was brought to Lhavit. The shattered Avaric Flame left Revan there under the guidance of an associate of the Avaric, Walden Popcampio, hoping that some time of stability would renew his memories. It did not, and Revan slowly developed a new personality of his own: Theo Popcampio, Walden Popcampio's brother, a happy go lucky wise-cracker.
