United We Stand
Name: Darius Antonius
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Darius Antonius cuts an imposing figure with a muscular, but lean figure along with a stern face and sky-blue eyes. He usually wears his armor no matter where he is in order to keep himself familiar with its weight, strengths, and weaknesses as well as to defend himself from any surprise attacks from demon or mortal alike. His eyes are usually scanning you, calculating whether you are a threat and what is the best way to take you done.
Height: 6"1
Race: Human
Loyalty: Gods
Magic: Fire
Weapon: A broadsword and a dagger (see above). The broadsword is straight, long, and thick, carefully taken care of and polished, but obviously has been carried into battle multiple times. His dagger, is about a foot long and he usually keeps it at his side for close spaces. He also bears a shield.
Skills: Darius is an excellent warrior and keen strategist on and off the battlefield. He is skilled with his weapons and manipulating fire. He can also understand and hold his own in courtly intrigue, though he has little patience for it more often than not.
Personality: Darius is a grim and serious sort of person. He understands the threat of Demons and Demois and hates them with a passion, particularly those who used to be human, but converted into one. The way he sees it, there will be no peace until Demois and Demons are wiped away from the earth or at the very least broken and scattered. He is a courageous person and prefers to fight at the front-lines, never retreating unless he absolutely has to, has fulfilled his objective, or someone fighting beside him is in danger. Despite his battle-hardened exterior, he appreciates civilization and is intelligent when one speaks to him. At times, he can be sarcastic and abrasive, especially towards those who disrespect him.
Likes: Battle, training, his horse, Julius (see above), reading, fine art, wine, plays, music, stories, drinking with his men, proving others wrong.
Dislikes: Cowardice, arrogance, disrespect, being reminded of his family, Demons, Demois, Traitors.
Bio: Darius grew up in a noble family in Lux Et Spei. His father was a well-respected Lord and General in the human army, known for his victories and determination despite all odds. He looked up to his father and people expected him to follow in his footsteps. He was respected by virtue of his parentage and he was proud of it. Then, during a surprise attack where Demois' forces marched deep into human territory, it all changed. His father, General Antonius and his men, consisting of many of his family members, turned on the human forces and fought on the Demons' side. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Elves, Lux Et Spei would have been destroyed. At the end of the battle, the Demois' forces were routed and his father and his men followed to evade capture. It turned out that his father had grown tired of a "hopeless war" and decided to convert into a Demon and, someday, a Demoi. Darius' family name was dragged through the mud. A single battle turned his family into pariahs. His mother died of depression soon afterwords and Darius was saddled with the burden of restoring his family's honor. He joined the military and despite the mistrust of his fellows, he strived to be the best and prove that there was one Antonius still honorable. He eventually rose to the rank of Captain and now leads his own small force of soldiers.
