Raised by Potori a black smith/miner and Rebecca Jackson a scholar, 16 year old Braxton is a 6 foot muscular teen, with a milk chocolate complexion, and a pretty thick obsidian black beard for his age who is pretty protective. He was born in Arethor the city where his parents met and fell in love at. As a young boy he used to hear legends of region called Aegis much like the one he lives on now, except it was destroyed by a huge battle with the undead. Braxton vowed to never let anything like that happen in Asulon. He is a pretty talkative teen and some would say he is a natural born ladies’ man. Potori wanted Braxton to work in the mines with him; however Rebecca wanted Braxton to be a Religious Scholar. His mother always said that learning and religion is what gains wealth not brute force. But Braxton had other plans he wanted to be a warrior and maybe even start a small militia. It's not that he enjoyed fighting he just wanted to protect people who couldn't protect themselves. Braxton was lucky enough to have a pretty wealthy family who gave him his iron sword at the age of 7 and a stone pickaxe at the age of 10. Even though his father Potori was just a miner he knew combat well for he had to fight off zombies and skeletons in the darkness of caves. Potori taught Braxton all of what he knew about combat. Braxton likes going exploring and finding cities that he never would of dreamed existed. One day as Braxton was walking out the city gate to go on his weekly exploration he ran into a girl about his age. The girl was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. When he asked her what her name was she said "Raven Lorina and that she aspired to be a world famous chef. Soon Braxton and his beloved raven grew insuperable and they knew it was love. Braxton would talk to Raven more than anyone including his own family. They often go exploring together and find tons of neat places, one time they went as far as Malinor, where they were welcomed by elves. They loved it and decided once they turned 18 they would move there together.

He is pretty easy going and is extremely clumsy. He is addicted to ale and bread and always carries some with him. He likes the view of the sun setting above water but is not too fond of swimming. He is usually happy but if he sees something suspicious going on he stiffens up and immediately tries to help the situation. Braxton never lets anyone take advantage over him, people who attempt to take advantage of him is what ticks him off the most. He is a heroic kind of guy and tries to help as many people as he can which sometimes gets him in trouble. He hates to hurt people especially their feelings and has a strong conscience. Braxton makes friends easily and he also feels that everyone needs a friend and will attempt to befriend anyone. However if someone hurts him he won’t hesitate to get revenge and hurt them back even though he knows that guilt will come.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:
I join the guards and a man with a strange emblem on his armor the captain guard I assume, formulates a plan that will give us the upper hand. Following the plan we then separate into different groups and head off in multiple directions so that we are surround the bandits. An arrow is shot into the air (the signal) so we start marching towards the bandits. The bandits spring into action slaying some of the guardsmen that surround them. They execute about 5-7 of the guards but the crowd of people moving towards them is overwhelming. “we’ve got you surrounded” Said the guard with the strange emblem. A broad shouldered, bald bandit with an eye patch asks to speak to the king. A few of the guard run in the direction of the king’s castle and disappear inside. There is a short live silence which felt like hours , The king and the guards who ran towards his castle emerge in the distance walking in a slow strut. Sweat drips down my face because I have never such a high political figure. The king finally arrives on the road and whispers something to one of the guards. The guard then says, “The king would like to know why you bandits are here.” The bald bandits says,” there are matters we must discuss.” The king says, “I have nothing to discuss with low down bandits such as you guys. The bandits yell something I can’t make out what and then there is a frenzy. The bandits start to slash again but are soon eliminated by the overwhelming force of the crowd. We go back into the town the guard with the strange emblem introduces himself to me and explains that he is indeed the guard captain. He offers me a reward of 500 minas but I decline because I felt I didn’t deserve it.
