Gareth Serpenthelm
Appearance
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birthday: 11, Summer, 495.
Birthplace: Riverfall
Appearance: Gareth is a young man of muscular build and tall stature. His fair skin is peppered with scars from his combat-oriented lifestyle and each one tells a tale more gruesome than the last. His unblemished face and emerald eyes are framed by shoulder-length blonde hair that is well-cared for and trimmed. He lacks facial hair and despite his efforts is seemingly incapable of growing anything more than stubble.
Character Concept
Gareth is a wandering sellsword that adheres to his own strict moral values. He is a man that prides himself on his honesty and unwavering loyalty. Gareth is not above taking on more unsavory contracts but does draw the line at endangering the "innocent". His goal in life is to become recognized as a hero to the common folk. Some notable personality traits Gareth possesses both good and bad are being Stubborn, Risk-Taking, Honest, Loyal, Logical, Optimistic and Outgoing. Notable flaws include Gareth's reckless impulsivity, vindictiveness against people that wrong him, his unforgiving nature and his pension for drinking way too much.
Character History
Gareth was born to human parents in the settlement of Riverfall. He grew up fully immersed in the culture of the Akalak, but constantly felt at odds. An outsider in a place with people that didn't exactly look like him or act like him. Gareth did his best to embrace his place in their society, quickly growing from a child to a young boy and doing so at peak physical performance by taking time to train his body alongside the few friends he made.
However, the fact remained Gareth was not an Akalak like some of his friends. When he reached the age of fifteen all of the friends he made went through a cultural custom of their race he didn't quite understand, nevertheless, Gareth continued training his body and now started training his combat skills alongside his father in preparation for joining the hunting party he belonged to. Years passed and Gareth took up the family business of trapping, but never really took to it being unable to devote himself to fully developing the hunting skill needed.
Things were all and well for the boy until the Fall of 513 AV. While tracking a group of Zith with his father's hunting party tragedy struck. More Zith than anticipated showed up and ambushed the party costing Gareth his father's life and the lives of several of his friends. Although victorious against the ambush Gareth had lost someone he cherished and looked up to for guidance and inspiration. Of the surviving party, only Gareth and six others remained. In the aftermath, his father's best friend took it upon himself to take care of Gareth and his mother. Gareth battled with deep melancholia for the rest of the winter before coming to the decision to leave everything behind. He purchased what supplies he needed and set out on the road with his father's sword hoping to find himself and his purpose in life.
