Severn

[Severn]

Severn Basic Information "A man's destiny is not determined by a previously decided fate. Life is comprised of a series of choices and therefore, the consequences of these choices are determined by a man's decisions, not some superstitious belief in fate. Life is what we make of it, not an already written story. A man's destiny is determined by the choices he makes and therefore, it is concluded that we alone hold the reins of our fate. It is not destiny that makes a man what he is. It is the man's actions that define him." Name: Severn, from the tents of Akil, of the sons of Malech Race: Human, Benshira Birthday & Age: 3rd Day of Spring 490 / 21 Years Old Gender: Male Physical Description Severn stands at a height 6'2. He has dark brown hair and tanned skin, but what really makes him stand out are his eyes. Those icy cold blue eyes of his that hold a ferocious and chilling gaze. He is of a rather athletic constitution, built for speed and agility, rather than brute force. A scar runs across the right side of his face, starting from the temple, ondulating itself under his right eye and continuing down the cheek. He is not a pretty sight, his appearance the result of hard desert life. He covers his face with a simple desert headdress called a tourban, mostly to hide his scars and he wears simple clothes made of light cloth, designed for the maximum mobility, while his sandals allow him to move silently. Character Concept "What you choose to call me is irrelevant. I go by many names, depending on the situation. Right now, I could be just another man in a crowd. Or your next employee. Or the man hired to stake your head on a spike." Severn is an mercenary. Not a notorious one, but that bodes well in his career. Just out of his apprenticeship, he is determined to make a better life for himself, find a wife and fill his tent with children, one day. These days, however, his tent is inhabited by none other than himself. Striking out from his father's tent to make his own future in the world, Severn is willing and able to do any sort of mercenary work, or any other job that a hired blade would do. Severn is the kind of person who gets carried away by the wind, always ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time, having an incredible ammount of bad luck. He is a drifter, not really fitting in anywhere, who pursues a simple dream of having a family and a simple life. But it is this simple dream that may prove unachievable for him. With a strong sense of morality and a strong determination, he seems like an ideal person, but in reality, he is anything but. There is always a sense of mystery about him, a feeling that he has something to hide and that his wisdom is greater than it would first seem. He is a thoughtful and considerate character, aspects which strongly contrast with his crazed, berserker fighting style. Character History "Life is the process through which we describe a hard scraping for scraps, an unending struggle for continued existence. If one is to look into the past, he would notice it was always so. If such is the nature of living, then there is a question we all must ask ourselves. What is the meaning of life?" Growing up as the son of a hired sword is not easy. And growing up as a mercenary's 7th son is even harder. As the youngest son born to the tent of a hired blade, his inheritance amounts to a cummulative value of precisely zero mizas. He has nothing to call his own, except the clothes on his back, his skills and a plain old scimitar from his father. And at the age of 21, it was made clear to him that he must now strike out on his own.
