A bit ago there was a post going around how people don't talk about how COVID effected them, and everyone is ignoring it yadda yadda

anyway, This is true, we should talk about it more. But as someone with long covid who doesn't talk about it, I think the reason can really be summed up from this quote from Murphy from Z Nation

"It's the apocalypse. Everyone has PTSD"

It doesn't feel like that significant of thing when everyone has it or been effected in some way. Maybe? I'm not very good at articulating this thought 😅

Personally, I don't talk about it cuz I feel like I'm whining. Like, nothing I can really do about it. A bunch of people have it. What makes me so special?

Rowan the Wandering Sellsword

Name: Rowan Breyer

Nick Name/Alias: Ro, or Roe

Gender: Male

Species: Bermecian

Height: 6'

Weight: 170lbs

Occupation: Mercenary/Sell Sword

Personality: Soft and quiet, Rowan is a quite soul who is often over looked by others. He doesn't involve himself in the affairs of others and can appear to be callous and cold hearted. While this front serves to keep him distant from others, and adds to his reputation as a sell sword and mercenary. It often gives people the impression he has lost his humanity. In reality, Rowan has a deep seated desire to help others, and do the right thing. But after seeing his family and friends murdered by Queen Brahne's army, his desire for revenge is near all consuming emotion. But deep down... there is a sliver of the man he once was still clinging to life.

Abilities/Powers

Burmecian Physiology: Like all of his kind, his senses are very keen able to smell and hear much sharper then most other species. His vision is quite keen and his natural resistance to disaase and poison is far above other species.

Dark Lance: As a Dark Dragoon Rowan can tap into the darkness within his soul, utilize special lance skills. It allows him to extend his lances range, or create shadowy copies of himself, or rain down dark magic on his enemies. His most potent skill Allows him to drain the life or mana from his foes to heal himself.

Dragoon Jump: Like all Dragoons Rowan can leap to uncanny heights, and drop down from above with devastating potency. Despite his heavy armor, one might assume it makes him slow, which could not be further from the truth.

Dragoon Martial Arts: His years as a Dragoon taught Rowan to fight with his lance. a style of combat that involves quick thrusts and using the haft of his spear to strike or daze enemies to gain distance. jumping in and out of combat seeming at random only to fall and strike enemy with devastating force.

Immune to Fall Damage: As a Former Dragoon, Rowan is immune to all types of fall damage as long as he can land on his feet. the technique allows him to jump to nearly any height as well, easily scaling walls or disappearing into the clouds.

Equiment: Rowan wears heavy armor, head to toe and utilizes a glaive or spear in combat. He even sometimes employs a shield which allows him to guard and strike from behind a wall of steel.

Black Magick: Like all dark knights he knows a bit of black magick just like a black mage. However Rowan rarely uses this for any sort of combat instead using it to fuel his dark lance ability.

Biography/Origin

While much of Rowan's past remains a mystery, there are stories that tell that he once had a family. That he once lived in the capital city of Burmecia, and learned his skills as a Dragoon from the grand master himself. They say he was set to join the Bermecia Military and made a career of soldiering! that it was in his blood, that just like his father he had every intention of being something great!

But life has a way of kicking you in the teeth and tearing away hope in an instant. When Queen Brahne and her soldiers attacked Burmeica, it changed the lives of so many. Rowan was no different, he lost his home that day, and was gravely injured in the battle. But the injuries would heal but the losses he suffered would not. His mother, his father, his family gone in the blink of an eye. Wiped out by Brahne and her black mages in a flash.

By the time Rowan could fight again, things had changed so much in the kingdom. The war had come to an end, and peace seemed to settle across the land. Yet deep down Rowan could never forgive Alexandria for taking away everything from him. At first he took up simple mercenary work to get by, using his skills as a dragoon. Yet it was never enough--- so when he found that strange artifact and the power it gave him. No matter how dark, or how much it seemed to change him...

He refused to let it go, and the only thing he could think of was how many Alexandrian soldiers he could kill... and how he could get to Brahne herself...

The war was over for many but for Rowan it had only just started... yet before he could even begin his crusade. A light shone through the darkness. His sister found him, though they both had lost so much it was the light he needed to keep him steady.

Yet deep down that darkness festered... and he wondered how long that light would keep the darkness at bay...
