Aleric

[Aleric]

Aleric Leoric Appearance Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 17 Birthday: 14, Summer, 496. Birthplace: Syliras Appearance: Aleric is a tall whip cord lean young man, standing at about 6'1 and weighing about 145 lbs. He possesses fair skin and his muscles are defined and strong. He keeps his hair relativly short, out of his eyes at the very least. He is very handsome, in a roguish and cavalier sort of way and is always ready with an easy smile and a charming wink for the ladies. His green eyes are wide and kind, reflecting his inner nature, and burn with a desire to do good. Character Concept Kind, always ready with a joke on his lips, and quite fond of the ladies, Aleric is pretty much the exact opposite of his brother Roland. He is more than willing to start up a conversation with a random stranger and exudes an air of easy calm. His demeanor is almost alway friendly, jovial, and open. When he is angry it almost seems unnatural, serious expressions are also very rare, a fact that his brother is not fond of, neither were many of his sponsers. His rather easy going attitude does not mean that he takes his duty to Syliras any less seriously or that he does not care about the needs of others. Nothing could be further from the truth, Aleric is very serious about becoming a knight and continuing his family's long tradition in the Syliran Knights. He just values goodness a little bit more than duty and would be the first to jump to an innocent's defense. This makes him a little hot headed and quick to move to action, a trait that has gotten him in trouble more than a few times. Character History Aleric was born into a long legacy of Knights in the service to Syliras, one stretching all the way back to his great grandfather. Both his mother and father serve as Syliran Knights, dutiful and strong both of them. The line of Leoric is one steeped in tradition and duty to Syliras a fact that Aleric had beaten into his head time and time again. His elder brother by six years was the perfect model of a knight to be, polite, dutiful, and practically a prodigy with a blade. Then you had Aleric. Young Aleric was always rather free spirited and possessed something of a mischivious streak, something that others found rather endearing but his family found unacceptable in a Leoric. He was very much the black sheep of the family, stealing kisses from servant girls by the time he was six, playing light hearted jokes on his stuffy elder brother at every opportunity he had. No matter how many times he was disciplined his free spirit never seemed to die, in fact it only grew stronger. When he was shipped off as a page his antics continued for sometime, often exasperating the Sponser Knights he stayed with. He never stayed long with one particular knight, most giving up on ever sculpting a proper knight out of him. At the age of thirteen he was elevated to the rank of squire and assigned to Steward Knight Geleron Sevil, an old veteran in the knights. The task of making a proper knight out of the youngster was considered highly unenviable but it was one that Geleron was willing to give a shot. The old man found that though the boy was difficult to instill a sense of strong duty in, it was far easier to cultivate his strong morals and desire to do good. From there it was far easier to get him to accept the tenants of Sylir and teach him knightly ethics. All the while he continued to train Aleric as a fearsome warrior, one that the knights would be proud to have in their ranks. The young man chose the spear as his weapon of choice, gaining increadible profficency with the weapon both on horse back and off. Swordsmanship comes much slower for him but he works at it every day, sparring with both Geleron and occasionally his brother who is now a full knight. As the time of his Knighting Quest draws ever closer Aleric continues to push himself to his physical limits and beyond, all the while stuck between trying to make his family proud and being himself.

Despite his strained relations with his younger brother he wants him to be ready for the challenges he will face on his Knighting Quest, this is the reason he pushes Aleric to his physical limits every day he can.

He is also a good friend of the Leoric family, having served with Aleric's grandfather. Rough, scarred, and aging the old knight is none the less well built and still very fit. He is a hard man to please but when he gives out a compliment it is alway because it is well earned. The old man has a particular fondness for both of the youngest Leoric children, seeing them as the grandchildren he never had, and would give anything to see Aleric succeed in his Quest and take his vows. His own son was claimed by a wasting sickness, and his wife died soon after, completely heart broken.
