Anakin Skywalker.
23. He/Him (fc: Hayden Christensen).
Paladin of Dratho || Oath of the Jedi, the Chosen || Tiefling || Kelsvack
most people recognize him by his bruised knuckles and oil-stained hands, the wind in your hair and the sun blinding your eyes, the moment you leave atmosphere and become weightless and their righteous & vengeful. thereda is a large and mysterious land whose glad to have anakin skywalker roaming the lands.
Anakin hails from Kelsvack, where he and his mother were raised and made their livelihood as servants to the wealthier families in the over-populated village surrounding the river. His father never had a name, if he even had one.
Tempted by the vulnerability associated with overpopulation, where thieves can disappear into a crowd like water, the world upended for Anakin when bandits laid siege to the outermost Kelsvack--a place where he and his mother took up residence. It wasn't fair enough to call it a fight--it was simply a massacre.
Anakin survived by the grace of an unnamed Jedi, who cut through the masses declaring an attack of such magnitude and such disparity was one argued to be protected by the will of Dratho: death is inevitable, but it is not planned, and it was not time. Standing in the wreckage of his slummed quarters, the world seemingly on fire, Anakin took a vow in the name of justice, for revenge.
To the Oath, it felt like a sign. Sometimes, Anakin thinks it was simply a mistake. His duty is to maintain Fate, as was dictated by the stars in the destruction of his quarter. His grief and loss has always been viewed as something to be desired.
There is Death. We must prevent it if unjust in form.
The tiefling was then swept away from Kelsvack, and hasn't returned since. He sped through the ranks of apprentice and learner, a fierce warrior in a time of upheaval throughout Theredas, and what he lacked in diplomatic skill he made up for with sheer charm and battle prowess. Now, Anakin stands at the rank of Paladin, and has commandeered different skills of battle strategy, scouting, hunting, and the occasional required bounty.
He is a Master at Djem So, a fighting stance favoring dominance and attack in battle.
Growing up with the ghost stories surrounding the selvik, Anakin was familiar with the concept of death from a young age. Despite this, the deemed Hero with No Fear seems to have just one.
Anakin has a typical rugged appearance, his hair curling out from his horns and almost disguising them with its disheveled pattern. He dresses in loose clothing when he can, reminiscent of the warmer environment where he was raised, and maintains a steady resting neutral face (no more than neutral, nope, he's such a pleasant guy).
He boasts sandy-tan skin and darker orange horns that blend in just so with his hair--Anakin's grin is toothy and full of teeth.
Anakin lost his right arm in battle set just prior to the beginning of the campaign, and as such, is out of the field currently and recuperating by learning to live with his (currently shoddy) wooden prosthetic.
Sometimes, non-considering the Oath taken, the Paladin wished he could be an inventor--he often spends his time in Theredas admiring the artistry of the mechanics there, and is fascinated with robotic attachment and architecture.
He loves horse racing, and is deemed best in his class (don't listen to what anyone else has to say)
