Declan was born to common stock parents within the Dankbark Forest. It
was here that he grew up and learned about Serin for the grizzled hunter.
Day after day, Declan would travel to his location and sit by the warmth of
the fire and listen to tales of epic heroes, vile tyrants, wondrous Mystics
and entertaining Heralds. From his teachings, Declan knew there to be bands
of mortals that rallied to various causes. There were the Lords of War who
fought with honor and discipline. The Valourian Knights with their codes
and integrity. The ill-reputed Dark Army and its hordes of minions. But
there was one that stood out in Declans mind. An ancient cabal with long
forgotten ties to Rakhashe. They were known as Keepers and their sole task
was to maintain the Balance. Declan was in awe of this group of mortals,
for it was reputed they did not utilize mystical weapons and armors in their
battles, but instead relied upon their wit and fervor to their cause. And
they did it while battling the most hardened of opponents, regardless of
their own personal beliefs. From this point forward it would ingrained in
Declan from a young age and stick with him throughout his years until he
reached early adulthood. He would seek the Keepers and join their cause.
Description:
Dark brown tresses of wildly untamed hair that seems to begin at a peak
then drape behind his ears to just below his shoulders is the first thing
noticed about this Human. His face is very pale, accented by thin lips that
seem like they could go from ear to ear. A rounded jaw offsets the
angularity of his cheekbones and head. A muscular and toned appearance
traces a history of heavy physical labor and time spent honing skills. Eyes
that seem black as night gaze out into the open.
