Born of the icy tundra of the North, Deserter of the Mile Seasaeu military, Wanderer of little hope... Darin Nieves.
Personality: Darin is something of a loner; rarely does he take solace in the company of others, and rarely does he trust anyone but himself. Though he has no particular disdain for others, he simply will not place himself in a situation that he may live to regret. He is polite, even occasionally conversational - but never a friend or ally. Though he craves peace and stability, a life of regrettable sights and actions have killed his hopes of ever having this.
Weapons:
- Recurve Bow(and arrows): Hand-carved personally by Darin from a dark hard-wood located in the Southern regions, the bow measures at 40" and is a light-weight variation of the long bow. The entire bow is varnished, and ornately carved with various pictorial decorations. Each end of the bow has a darkened metal tip, which can be used as a spear-like weapon. The grip is made from sanded leather, allowing for both grip and comfort.
- Short Sword: A steel short-sword with a straight blade, and cloth wrapped handle including hand-guard and drip points. The blade is a standard issue military sword given to Officer's in the Mile Seaseau army, and measures 19" including grip.
- Armour: Aside from his usual comfortable a versatile clothing, and hooded cloak Darin wears little armor. He wears a soft leather breast-plate, and steel arm braces alongside leather pads to protect the insides of his arms while using his bow.
Bio:
- Darin was born in the province of Gloriano, deep in the icy Northern regions. His family consisted of his parents and a younger sister, whom were part of a small village.
- He had a traditional upbringing within the community, and when he 'came of age' (at eighteen) was encouraged to leave his village to find his own family. He left behind his parents and sister in the process. His parents would die before his return, leaving only his sister.
- After a short travel, Darin found himself enlisted within the army of Mile Seaseau as the war began, at the age of nineteen. He spent seven years in the military, as an archer. During this long stint he became a respected officer and a known name among many for his archery talents, and controversial tactics.
- Disillusioned with what he had become, Darin deserted from the army at the age of twenty-six. As a deserter, he was forced to leave the Mile Seaseau region for fear of persecution. For the past three years he has become something of a wanderer, with no home and few possessions to his name.
