Ghrotto

Mordyn Damaske turns to looks at Lorethos as he sees him place the poster up "Must I put in an official request, Lore? I have already served you and your family for thirteen years now, so it should be obvious I would join." Lorethos would nod with a small smirk "Aye, Mordyn, would be best to do it for formalities and such." Mordyn would then nod slightly wondering off to find James to steal some parchment from him since he'd run out recently. Name: Mordyn Damaske Race: Southeron Human Age: 33 Nationality: Kingdom of Oren Ambition: I have stood by my good friends the Basileus family for thirteen years now, protecting them. I see this as a way to continue my training further as well as remain close to protect what is dear to me. Skills: I have good skills with the sword and shield, but my main focus is polearms, the Halberd being my best weapon and weapon of choice. While training with polearms I learned how to fight with staves as well, just on the off chance that it would be all that is available to use at any time.

He was a very curious boy. Very strange, some could even say. He always had a way of turning his mood around. You could be speaking with him and he would be in such a kind and fun loving mood, but the moment you disrespect his family or friends, you would be looking into the eyes of a figurative demon in that young boy. Now of course, people would say that, so in time, he became known to his village as a Demon Child, or the Posessed One, though he did not ever truly show any signs of such besides his immense anger and hatred towards those who wronged him or his. To most, he never even showed any true signs of anger. After hearing an insult he would just become very cold and one could see the hatred in his eyes directed towards the insult. That in itself, that such a small boy, could display such signs must have scared the silly village folk. Other than that, however, he was a very kind boy who just enjoyed spending time with his family and the few friends that he had. He came from a very loving home. His mother, Angeline Damaske, was a very beautiful woman. She had very light brown hair that was borderline blonde, a well rounded but still slightly angular face, and a body that made the other women of the village seethe in jealousy. She was also the local seamstress and did her work out of the house so she could spend time with her son, which lead to Mordyn being very close to her and more than a little protective. A lot of people would say he got his protective nature and the coldness that he displayed when angry from his father, Rodovir Damaske. Rodovir was a very stern man, only showing his real caring side to his wife and son. He had many scars over his face, chest, and arms. Some said those scars were just from working in his smithy, since he was the village's most talented blacksmith. Others claimed he used to be a Knight to a Noble House but he ran away with Angeline and now they lived here to raise their child. He never said anything to accept or deny their claims, but the extravagant set of armour he had on display in their home to some seemed like proof of the rumor being true. Early Adult Years By the age of 16, Mordyn was expected to learn a craft and start working. It was very hard for him to find someone in the village who would be willing to make him their Apprentice though because of his past monikers. Therefore, he had to turn to his father, Rodovir, and ask for an Apprenticeship at the smithy. His father was more than happy to see that Mordyn was interested to carry on in what Rodovir hoped to make their family's business. So after a few years of working under his father, he was finally ready to work on his own, which lead to the fateful meeting between Mordyn Damaske and Lorethos Basileus. Lorethos had been passing through the small village and had stopped by the smithy to have a few things repaired. As Mordyn worked, the two spoke a little and exchanged names. They didn't really think much of the meeting, just being a casual business conversation. However, a few years later around the time Mordyn was 20, they met again, only as comrades on the battlefield. Mordyn's father had made him learn to defend himself and others using a sword and a shield, and as such, he kept a sword and shield nearby at all times. So when suddenly one day the village came under attack by Undead, he picked up his sword with his father and they, with the other men of the village, began their defense. Somewhere in the midst of battle Mordyn lost his father in the mayhem. Lorethos, who had been traveling nearby, saw the flames and he and his company decided to check it out. When they saw the chaos they ran into the village to help defend against the threat. After a fair amount of time, Mordyn was getting slightly winded but was still holding his own. One of the Undead came from the side and shoulder charged him, knocking him to the ground where he immidiately raised his shield to defend. Just as it was about to get past his block Lorethos decapitated the unaware creature, saving Mordyn's life in the process. He then looks to Mordyn and reaches out a hand to help him up, which Mordyn accepts with a nod of thanks. "Mordyn, was it?" Lorethos asks as they eye the creatures surrounding them. "Aye, sir. How have you been, Lorethos?" Mordyn replies before blocking a strike from one, to which Lorethos comes around him to stab the thing in the gut. "All things considered, good. Though I wish our meeting could be under better circumstances. Now, enough talking. Let us continue our defense." Says Lorethos with a grim look. The battle waged on for quite some time with the two fighting along side eachother, Lorethos using his magic and a dagger, while Mordyn protected him with his sword and shield. Eventually Mordyn did find his father in front of his home protecting Angeline. Unbeknownst to his parents a few of the Undead snuck up behind them. as Mordyn screamed at them "Oi! Mother! Father! Behind you!" and began sprinting to them, knocking aside any oppenents who dared get in his way. Alas, he did not make it in time, as before Mordyn and Lorethos' eyes, Angeline and Rodovir were slain by the Undead as their home burned in the background. Mordyn in his rage began to ruthlessly and foolishly jump to every Undead he could find, slaughtering them all mercilessly and taking more than a few decent wounds in his grief driven carelesslness. After what seemed like an eternity the threat ended and Mordyn sat alone upon the burning remains of his village. Feeling a hand placed on his shoulder, he tensed and looked up with an emotionless face and somber, dead looking eyes to see Lorethos giving him a small sad smile beforee once more offering him a hand up. "If you'll accept it, you have a place among my company. I was impressed by your prowess on the battlefield and I can understand to an extent your feelings at the moment." Lorethos offers Mordyn to which he just nods with a mumbled thanks. Conclusion of bio Twelve years have passed since that day. Mordyn was Knighted after some time of traveling with the group and has since, proudly served the House Basileus. What lies ahead of them now? Will they bring pride to the lands? Cause fear upon the battlefield with their very presence? One can only wonder and hope to see the outcome of their toils. (I was told to be a Knight of the House Basileus by HappyShackles [the Head of House] so that was the reason for that specific placement of my character. Here is a link to a post of the House http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/106832-the-house-of-the-moon-returns/#entry997056) What are they like (personality)?: - Serious most of the time but can also be fun loving and kind, is also ferociously protective of the House Basileus members as over the years he has come to look at them as family. What are their ambitions?: - At the moment his ambitions are to find a wife and continue to serve his House. Do they have any special skills?: - He is great with a sword and shield and has Apprentice level blacksmithing (meaning he knows how to but is by no means a master) What are their weaknesses?: - He has a very quick temper when it comes to insults directed at his House or anyone he cares for. He also has a soft spot for Children and beautiful women. He also tries to not hit women, which sometimes can lead to hesitation on the battlefield if he is fighting a female opponent. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - He is of average height (around 6 feet tall) with dark brown hair and lavender eyes. He also has a goatee of the same dark brown colour. He has fair/lightly tanned skin. Anything else you want to say about them?: - Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: -
