Hi, Nat here returning from hiatus with a second character!
His name is Alcuin Gaerrison, and he's a 23 year old Dragoon with the Valendian Rangers. Who wants to be a Dragon Ride when he grows up!
He's basically a puppy dog in human form - tall and blonde and very enthusiastic about everything. He hails from a farming community in the outlands and has a gazillion siblings (he's somewhere in the middle), so he's basically a relatively naive country boy with a very simplistic view of the world. He's pretty good natured about everything (even when the joke is on him, which it frequently is), and is sort of religious in the sense that he loves Faram and tries to always do good. He's a sucker for a pretty face (male or female) and has a tendency to develop infatuations at the drop of a hat. He's not very good at actual commitment though, mostly because he just finds people too fascinating to stick to just the one.
History wise: he came to Emillion when he was 13, having dreamed all his life of being a Dragon Rider one day. He travelled with a cousin, Kayden who was a knight in the Fighter's Guild and served as a mentor of sorts until he was kicked out of the guild (he spent a lot of his time being drunk and disorderly, and eventually got into a brawl that the guild really couldn't ignore). Alcuin had spent a lot of his time trying to keep his cousin out of trouble before this, and he initially blamed himself for Kayden being kicked out. He was 20 when he finally graduated to Dragoon, and it took him two years before he was accepted by the Rangers.
As a fighter, he has a tendency to act first, think later (if he thinks at all), which has a tendency to get him into trouble a lot because he forgets about waiting for orders. He's a good fighter (obviously), and spends a lot of time working out to keep up his strength and endurance. Thanks to his tendency to throw himself in harm's way constantly, he's going to start considering switching classes to Sentinel because... he'll probably be better at it than being a Dragoon.
PLOT POINTS: someone who took over mentoring him after his cousin got kicked out of the guild? RANGER THINGS. People he trained with? People he's had some sort of romantic entanglement with? People he... could have a romantic entanglement with. People playing practical jokes on him, he's a really easy target guys.
Also if anyone wants to pick up his cousin / any of his siblings, they are totally available.
FINALLY: and unrelated, if anyone wants Rena for anything let me know, I am almost totally free of uni so will be around more. Hopefully.
