Name: Taros Wardegis
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance:
A tall young man with an impressive stature, he has brown hairs and gray eyes.
Outside of his knight armor, he wears rather traditional traveler's clothes. A gray coat whose color had dulled with time, a brown leather pants, high boots.
Personality:
A silent person with a heart of gold, he is always ready to help his fellow.
He at first seems like a typical knight in shining armor : strong moral code, outstanding altruism... But inside his heart, he longs for loneliness, and doesn't seek out human presence as much as he should.
Background:
Taros was born as the only son of a female low-ranked knight and a blacksmith. Living in the village of Larmelin, under the lordship of the lord Aramos, he inherited from both his parents talent and passion.
Her mother, a knight serving the local lord, was famous for her strong and graceful sword style.
His father, the local smith, was the most esteemed smith around, forging blades of impressive quality.
Since he was able to hold a sword, his mother personally taught him the way of the sword, refining through him the art she used to defend what she held precious.
And when he wasn't training with his mother or playing with the children of the village, he helped his father in the forge, watching and learning. He soon began to also learn the job of smith with his father.
Fascinated by both ways his parents taught him, he could never forsake one for another.
First he became a knight with his mother for the local lord, returning to the forge with his father when he had some time-off.
Becoming a knight awakened in him the same strong desire to protect his mother held. First serving under the lord to protect his homeland, he distinguished himself for his zealousness when the lives of innocents were involved, and for his cold-headedness inherited from his father.
Later on, he decided to become a vanguard of humanity to better satisfy his ideal. He did so by joining the fight against the enemies of humanity : monsters.
tldr: dad is smith. mom is knight. I knight-smith who fight monsters.
