Silence

Anonymous Me
Name:
Donovan Blackmoore

Gender, Age:
Male, 28

Role (Family):

Guardian

Appearance and Personality:
A short man at 5’5” though his personality makes up for the lack of stature. Dark brown hair, weathered skin, mischievous smile, sharp brown eyes, and wiry build. Donovan is outspoken. A bit of an idealist at times. To counter act the dreams he has a fair dose of skepticism due to a lack of trust in others.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
Donovan hails from the sub-province of Geraldis. Due to his homeland he is well suited to cold environments and is knowledgeable in the arts of mining and some herb lore. While he lacks the advantage of height he is incredibly strong and has a quick mind for survival. His education was limited to that of mining as a youngster and so he is illiterate. Sometimes more literal in his translations he may appear to be simple minded. While he is far from stupid Donovan has not learned all the social graces and he is often perceived as uncouth. He is an uncommonly dreadful singer and miserable story teller.

History or Backstory:
Born to a miner and the local village healer. Donovan was raised with the idea that he would become a miner the same as his father. He was forced out of the village by his father when it was discovered he had been aiding an injured guardian. While his father could not bring himself to turn Donovan and the guardian over to the village elders he decided to disown his son.

As he grew, Donovan came to admire the guardians more and more. In time he accepted their lifestyle and began to assimilate. Donovan took responsibility for his choices and he came to put his trust in his new found family. He had great hope and anticipation as the new king was preparing to take the throne. Perhaps this one would have a greater respect for the history of the guardians and allow for them to take back their honored place. It is still his ambition to be able to return home, much the same as any other guardian. The skeptical side of him knew that even if he returned home it would be to mockery. His father would be dead and he would remain the disowned son.

Name: Richard Kingsman

Gender, Age:
Male and 41 years of age.

Role (Family):
King’s Guard

Appearance and Personality:
A tall man at 6’5” and built like a brick. Richard has a blue eyes with a gaze as daunting as his physique. There is a reason that he has moved up the ranks to become an officer. Nothing stands in his way and he is blindly loyal to the king. Kingsman has an incredible drive to finish what he is given for task and he will do his utmost to see it done.

Strengths and Weaknesses:
As a King’s Guard he has trained all his life for this moment. Richard Kingsman is ready to see the Guardians destroyed. They are little more than vagabonds and it is the time when the King’s Guard now protect the land. His loyalty to the king is both his greatest strength and weakness. The loyalty to the king has brought tremendous victory though at times to the devastation of the King’s Guard. Soldiers under him admire his drive and prowess on the battlefield, however they fear and hate him for the extent to which he will push to see the victory. It is his firm belief that if they outnumber the enemy by even one man it is advantage enough to see them destroyed.

History or Backstory:
The job of King’s Guard has been a long honored tradition in the family. Richard’s father could not have been more proud when his son strove to be only a King’s Guard. At a young age he showed proficiency with the blade and a kind of tenacity that could be admired. Though he started at the bottom of the ranks it did not take long for Richard to gain the attention of his superior officers. His loyalty was unquestioned.

In time he was promoted to officer. Several times he was demoted and promoted for his controversial methods. The element of surprise is one of his favorite tactics to use as it may overwhelm an enemy that could otherwise outnumber the patrol that he led. After mastering this skill and many successes he was again promoted and now he is control of a region. One that has been a thorn in the side of the King and the realm. He will do whatever is necessary to see the threat eliminated. There is no need for the Guardian’s turned thieves and outlaws.
