Hey! It has been quite a while since I RP, so I'm quite excited!
Name: Durin Strider
Age: 45
Class: Knight
Appearance: Durin is a pretty big man, at about 6'4, and about 250 lbs. If you were to just look at his body, you would think it would belong to any 30 year old, but his face tells his true age. His face has many scars and wrinkles, a sign of many long Onishia winters, and frightening battles with the Onishian military.
Backstory: Durin was born in a small hamlet town in the middle of Onishian countryside. Born to a small time blacksmith, Durin had a normal childhood. Growing up he was instilled with what his father said were the 3 most important values a true man has; Courage, Loyalty, and Respect. As a teenager he felt a strong loyalty to his country, and because of this, he joined the Onishian military as soon as he could at the age of 18. Because of his size, he was immediately put into a small group of other knights. After about 15 years in the military, he had been able to climb up through the Onishian military, and was in control of his own platoon. Because of his military career, he had no family of his own except for his father. He had gotten sometime to go home and visit his aging father. When he got there, he found that there was nothing there, nothing but destruction. There was nothing left of his childhood town but rubble. After searching through the ruins of his father's shop, the only thing he was able to find that was his fathers, was his signet ring with his family crest on it. As he was leaving his village, he found his father's head... on a spear, with a shield near by. Looking at the shield, it had the crest of the Onishian kingdom on it. His own kingdom had betrayed him, and he was in disbelief. It was at this point he lost all loyalty to his kingdom, and left without a trace. After that day no one knows where he went, but some have seen traces of someone living up in the mountains near the wreckage of his old village, where a new village has been built. Same say that is Durin living up in those mountains, others say that they have heard stories of a monstrous man in armor, saving travelers under attack by bandits in Annea. Many say this man really is Durin Strider, The Lost Soldier.
Additional Details: After being betrayed by his country, he has lost all sense of trust and loyalty, and while he misses the feeling of being able to trust in someone, he has not found someone worthy of his trust. Also, after the years of being out of the army, and his age, his strength and agility have decayed from when he was at his prime, but being alone for so long has increased his intelligence, making him quite wise.
Title: In many of the games, people you recruit are given titles. For example, Seth is known as The Silver Knight. Durin Strider's "Title" is "The Lost Soldier".
Favorite FE game: The original Fire Emblem (in North America at least), and Awakening are tied.
