Name:
Endaku
Position:
Guard
Age:
19
Physical Description:
Endaku is a great big mountain of a man…er…boy… in a
certain sense. No, it is not his height; he stands at barely five
feet. But he is large, bulky, and built with muscle think enough to
coat
the Collegeium. His hair is an average honey brown that he keeps
cropped close, as most soldiers do. His eyes, hard hazel,
give no man warning of his actions. A bit of stubble is beginning on
his chin. His outfit usually consists of a drab tunic and trews,
battered boots, and Weapons Leathers. If not for his bulky lack of
height, he would look nothing out of the ordinary. Endaku is
possessed of
many scars from battle, while most are covered by clothing,
there is
a particularly gruesome looking cut that runs from just under his
left ear
diagonally across his neck and chest and stops at his right arm.
Personality/Attitude:
Endaku definitely has his ghosts.....He has seen much
on
the Border, none of it pretty. Like most guards who have seen battle,
he is
hair triggered and just a little paranoid. Because he was thrust into
battle conditions at such an early age, he is far older than his
physical age
and most would mistake him for much older than his mere 19 years. He
is a quiet
kind of a guy, who holds opinions but will seldom voice them unless
directly asked.
A side effect of guard training, i guess....Endaku is surprisingly
wise for all of his
19 years and very kind. Although he doesn’t have a whole lot of
friends who are
still alive, he would go to the ends of the earth for them and will
go out of his way
to help even strangers, which is what makes him an exceptional guard.
Brief History:
Well you hear about boys running off to the Guard
all the time, right? Well, Endaku is no different. He is born of a
simple masoning family, not too well off, but they had clothes to
wear, food to eat. But it was a large family, Endaku was one among
twelve children, he felt his presence wouldn't be missed, and as yet,
it hasn't been. He left home in the night, a pack on his back, sword
in hand and the rest, as you say, is history. He was accepted into
the Collegeium(after a little white lie about his age) and was almost
immediately shipped off to the front lines. He was green and
unprepared, and considers his present state of living sheer dumb
luck. He is back at the Collegeium now as a palace guard, temporarily
relieved from the border for recovery.
