Full Name: Araliwin Clarak
Race: Human
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Likes: Combat, training, comedies, honest people
Dislikes: Tragedies, war, death
Appearance:
Araliwin is a tall man with long hair that is tied into a ponytail, reaching past his shoulders. He is lightly armored as to make his movements quicker for battle. The only armor he really wears are shoulder guards, a left forearm guard, shin guards and boots. The warrior's clothing sports the colors of Wednessilia, being blue and gold, while his clothing still contains originality from the other knights of the kingdom.
Personality: Araliwin is a rather fun loving guy who knows to be serious around his superiors. He is a knight through-and-through; being unable to address Asteriviel Uthros less formally, even when she asks him to. Araliwin even addresses his friend, Melaushav, by "my lord" often, to Melaushav's discontent. For the most part, Araliwin will try to avoid acting too seriously around his friends, Melaushav and Cilalith. But around other knights and also Naramonde, he generally takes on his serious disposition once again.
Equipment:
Aigthaas. A spear made of, what is rumored to be, the bone of a sea monster. It is also rumored that the spear never misses its mark, the heart.
History: Araliwin was born on the east coast of Halcya, farther north east than Wednessilia. The boy was born in the tundra. The boy's parents were gone, his mother died of illness and his father left him in the care of an orphanage while he left to pursue, "glory on the battlefield", or something ridiculous like that. Growing up in an orphanage wasn't exactly an easy life, but it definitely could have been worse for Araliwin; his father could have just left him back at their home in the freezing cold, never to be seen again. But Araliwin was schooled by the women of the church, as they stopped by often to visit the children. They preached to the children about the God of Light, which Araliwin had thought was an indecisive god, but kept his mouth shut around the nice ladies.
Araliwin would go see the priestesses often, asking the questions that his parents would normally be the ones to answer. They also taught the boy arithmetic along with the history of Halcya, and of course, all about the gods. After the priestesses had taught him all they could, he began to explore the kingdom more often, soon meeting a cute (but quick tempered) blonde girl along with her older brother. The three children spent many days playing with each other, growing closer and learning more about one another. It was around the time that he and Melaushav were twelve (three years after they had first met) that he learned the two children were royalty.
That was when Araliwin figured out what he wanted to do with his life. He was going to become a soldier and protect his friends. However, Araliwin was never a large fan of the sword, and wasn't very accurate when it came to firing a bow. He soon learned of a woman who specialized in fighting with a spear. After a large amount of begging, she allowed the boy to become her apprentice. Araliwin worked diligently everyday to become a strong warrior, and with striking results. By the time he was fifteen, he could best most adult warriors, aside from his teacher, that is. And so, the boy enlisted into the military. Not many took the boy seriously, until he wiped the floor with them with only a broom. The boy was made into an infantryman, and flashed his devastating skills on the battlefield.
When he was seventeen, Araliwin, along with many other soldiers from Wednessilia were posted to the east, on the edge of the water. They were preparing from an invasion, not from foreigners, but from a kingdom to the West of Wednessilia. The kingdom had thought it wise to send their navy around the continent and send forces on land to attack Wednessilia from the back. However, for some reason or another, Prince Naramonde had known of this plan and staged warriors to intervene, along with Wednessilia's own navy waiting for the enemy. Once the enemy arrived, Wednessilia's navy went out to see to stop the incoming enemy ships. After a few hours of fighting, an unknown enemy entered the battlefield. At this time, Araliwin was on a ship, trying to force back the enemy boats to retreat. Once the few ships left of the Wednessilia navy followed the enemy out to sea, a greater threat arrived. The Wednessilia ships were held in place by large tentacles coming from the dark waters below. Araliwin used his deadly spear techniques to try and force the monster back, cutting off one of the tentacles that held his ship in place. As a result, the monster retreated back into the depths.
After the battle, Araliwin had been seen carrying around a new spear of a strange material, assumed to be the bone of the monster he had driven back. Due to this great feat, Prince Naramonde had enlisted the soldier as his very own knight.
