How did you find us? (Forums, friend, previous member, etc…)
Started looking for a serious roleplaying server and Google sent me here. I'm really impressed by what I've seen so far.
About You:
17M-Have been playing Minecraft along with D&D for about a year but have play RPG video games since I was about 9. My favorites so far being the the "Witcher" series. Avid reader and an aspiring writer. My current D&D group has hit a bit of a rut due to a character death so I'm sort of trying to fill that RP niche here.
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name:
Regis
Age:
29
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Regis is a stocky, well built, dark skinned man, standing at a respectable 5’8 with hazel eyes, and closely shaven, black hair that causes his off-center widow's peak to become even more noticeable. His face is relatively boring save for his salt-and-pepper the salt-and-pepper stubble on his chin that often has him mistaken as someone a bit older and the scar going down his left eye to his thin mouth. Never the most fashionable, Regis can usually be seen wearing a plain, but tighter fitting shirt and pants in an effort to make finding work a bit easier by showing of his defined stature, along with a pair of combat gloves covering his calloused hands and his pack in which he Carrie's provisions and equipment. Underneath his shirt you can see the beginning of a scar that reaches from his collar bone to his naval.
Personality:
Regis is relatively laid back. He isn't very quick to temper unless you threaten those he considers friends; in which case which he is fiercely loyal to. He always tries to keep in good spirits yet keep a respectable impression on others and is always wary of those who seem a bit too friendly. Due to his upbringing, Regis refuses to indulge in alcohol or any other substances that affect a man's mind and is focused on keeping his body in the best condition possible. He isn't too keen on frivolous nights of passion or spending, usually spending most of his money on things that'll keep him alive such as food and arms. He often finds himself keeping himself busy; subconsciously trying to avoid dwelling on the fate of his mother, which still affects him greatly to this day and causes him trouble sleeping. The code of honor instilled upon him by his mentor, Mi-Agi, prevents Regis from taking on jobs he views as malicious or unnecessary harmful and hasn't killed anyone. He also tries to avoid jobs that involve boats or large bodies of water on account that he never learned to swim(this is a closely guarded secret). Regis is very partial to young children and refuses to do any harm to them. Besides these “limitations” Regis is too picky about the jobs he takes-as long as the pay is fair.
Backstory:
Regis grew up in a brothel. The illegitimate son of Councilman Martin and a common prostitute, Faye, He was born in the year 19AV and raised in the village of Ikïri. Though the Civil War was still raging, Irïki was far enough from the main battles that it only resulted in the villagers surviving off of rations and various men being having to leave to fight.
By the time he was 9, Regis had gained the reputation of being the “strong, silent" type; being less rowdy than the other boys. He'd made a few friends, his closest being a young and spirited street rat, Skitz and his most peculiar being an on/off guard at the brothel named Mi-Agi. The guard would come and go throughout Regis’ life due to the war but he was always kind and friendly to Regis. The children of the slums grew up relatively normally considering their circumstances. They were never full but didn't know true starvation due to most of their mothers giving the children half of their rations along with their own, although they were always competing amongst themselves for certain luxuries and extra food. These scraps would culminate into into regular wrestling matches among the boys. Regis would spend his younger days practicing with such fights with Skitz(becoming quite good and the second best due to some natural strength), learning about the world from Mi-Agi’s war stories when he was around and learning how to read and write from his mother. Regis knew who his father was but that since he wasn't around, he wasn't important.
The night that changed Regis’ life came around about the same year the Dusk Gate first sparked. An 11 year old Regis awoke to aggressive yelling within he and his mother’s quarters; the brothel owner, Shy, was drunk again, had chosen Faye as his comfort for the night, and began undressing her, ignoring her protests. Regis sprung into action; putting himself between Shy and his mother. Still intoxicated, the old owner found this amusing and, turning the situation into a game, challenged Regis to one of his “scrappins". As soon as the enraged boy nodded, the owner was on him-smashing the boy into the wall repeatedly. Shy was old, but had some weight about him. This along with the speed of the attack attributed to Regis’ slow reaction. He soon gathered his bearings, maneuvered out of Shy’s grab into a position where his hands were around the owner's thighs (meaning to grab his waist but he's only fought children until now) and shifted his weight in an effort to flip the old man. Because of the unbalance, Regis and Shy fell to the side instead of backwards. As they came down, the side of Shy’s head smacked onto a bedpost and they landed in a heap; Regis rose first and was frozen in place, stunned by the blood emerging from the old man's skull. Faye called for Mi-Agi as she saw Shy rise slowly with his hand to his temple and yell with rage as he saw the blood coming from his wound. In his rage, with no hesitation, The old brothel owner unsheathed the small knife he kept in his boot and slashed Regis diagonally across the chest. But before he could continue he could bring the knife back to stab again, Mi-Agi tackled him to the ground and held him there while Faye picked up Regis and fled the room.
The cut wasn't very deep, but was painful. Faye had taken Regis to Mi-Agi’s home where, luckily, the soldier had seen and treated small cuts like this before. Faye had to return to the brothel but she left Regis to stay with Mi-Agi. The two became even closer and Mi-Agi began teaching Regis to treat wounds such as his along with how to REALLY fight, even teaching him how to use a blade in case the Shy ever came looking for him. This arrangement lasted four weeks during which, Regis began a rigorous training schedule; becoming stronger and faster alone with learning the art of the sword. He also received regular visits from Skitz and his mother. The latter seemingly paler and paler after every visit despite her cheery attitude. The morning of Regis’ fifth week with Mi-Agi, his father had come for him. News of Regis’ fight with Shy had traveled even to the Councilman. Martin and his personal guard arrived at the door and informed Regis that his mother had passed during the night due to a disease contracted from her profession. The Councilman “would not allow one of his blood to live such a sad life" while he was able to take action(the truth being he was much too proud to allow another man to raise his child). For half the day, Regis refused to go with his father, went back to the brothel, saw the news about his mother was true and grieved for another day. Martin arrived alone the day after that, now offering much better training facilities and the opportunity to do so with his current mentor if he so wished. Again Regis initially refused but Mi-Agi claimed it 3was the life his mother would've wanted for him and that he'd be with Regis along the way. Finally, Regis accepted and began moving in with Martin, his wife Cecilia, Regis’ younger half brother and sister: Samson and Skye.
Regis was treated somewhat fairly with his new family but everything in regards to him had a somewhat pitying or condescending tone; keeping him from truly feeling like part of the family. The rest of his adolescent and teenage year wants as follows up until around 36 AV: mornings were spent on schooling and learning about the world and its events, afternoons consisted of which became even more effective now that the Civil War was over and Mi-Agi could be around more often. He taught Regis his code of honor and to never kill unless it is absolutely necessary for his own survival. His father's new facilities even gave them access to new equipment such as armor and shields. Nights were often extra training sessions or exercise. A result of Regis not being able to sleep well after his mother's passing and regretting that he never got to say goodbye. Regis would spend most of his free time with Skitz (due to his new family members not wanting much to do with him or being busy with their own hobbies and his father being away on secrets meetings) up until he was arrested for stealing a loaf of bread. Regis never saw him again after that. By the time he was 16(34 AV), Regis was comparable to a real world linebacker, fairly knowledgeable on current events, and proficient in sword and shield combat. His sister had become proficient in runes and his brother was following in their father's footsteps to become a politician.
At 18, Regis and Mi-Agi were both given leadership roles in Martin's personal defense force( all four of the Councilmen had one and the the leader of the village, Consul Charles, had what was equal to two) of 20. Just in time for his usurpation of the title of Consul. Unbeknownst to Regis, Martin saw the Consul as weak willed and to leineint on the people of Irïki and had been conspiring to overthrow and kill Consul Charles and had been meeting with the other Councilmen to convert them to his cause; and it was time to begin. Regis and his group were sent on “peacekeeping missions" for years. Destroying and arresting supposed thieves, vandalists, and corrupt establishments, soldiers and officials without knowing that they were merely supporters of Charles. As part of his manipulation, Martin began more compassionate with Regis to help keep his guard and suspicion down. Regis began to finally feel pride in his family, ignoring the aging Mi-Agi’s suggestions that something about their missions wasn't right. By 27(47 AV),Regis had thrown himself into his father's revolution and the talks of Xitians returning and dragons arriving in far away lands had little bearing in his mind. Mi-Agi remained loyal by his apprentices side despite his reservations and the two keys parts of the usurpation. Right up until the final mission. The Councilman's combined forces stormed the Consul’s mansion and cut a swathe of violence through the remaining opposition, Regis and his mentor being the only two not to kill anyone. As the fighting stopped, Martin's forces had the Consul and his family on their knees in surrender, thinking this was where the battle was over, Regis sheathed his weapon. Mi-agi's stayed in his hand.But Martin had no such thought and ordered them all executed in cold blood. The soldiers complied with no hesitation. Regis ran to his father in protest but as soon as he put his hand on his shoulder, Martin told him he'd “outlived his usefulness” and was “a blemish on his reputation that can finally be removed.” Martin ordered his soldiers to kill his son and his mentor. Before he could think, Regis was pushed out of of the main chamber and as the doors slammed closed, there was a glimpse of his mentor attacking Martin as he yelled “RUN!” Regis tried to get back in but the doors were locked from the inside all he could hear was the clanging of metal. He never found out if Mi-Agi survived. As he made his escape, Regis was chased by soldiers but lost them by running through the slums-shortcuts he'd memorized since childhood- and shedding his armor along the way.
Regis stole a horse from the village stables and fled without looking back;knowing he'd be killed if he ever returned. Carrying the guilt of what he brought upon his village, he traveled for two years, taking on bodyguard and mercenary jobs to fund his ever expanding journey. Regis finally stopped riding and reluctantly used the last of his money to buy a boat ticket to a place in in the Forbidden Lands where his father would never find him: a small lake town called Nightveil. He arrived tomorrow.

All advice and criticism is appreciated.
