Name: Alaric Arcturus
Species: Humani
Class: Crusader -> Templar
Hair color: Steel Blue
Eye color: Red
Age: 24
Appearance: Standing at a solid 6'1, he has an athletic build comparable to any soldier. Not excelling in any physical attribute, Alaric is often referred to as "average." His hair is short and straight with messy bangs. The untidy style leaves his mother quite upset; she insists she cut it and give him a proper haircut. He often stands very relaxed and loose, something unbecoming of a Crusader and servant of The Watcher (or so his father tells him).
Clothes:
Born in: Jerche, Calirce
Story: Alaric hails from a house of old nobility, the House of Arcturus. It was a family that helped rebuild the ravaged country of Calirce a thousand years ago. This ragtag family of Ylvin had bought their nobility and showed they deserved it over the generations. From each of the eight households and in each generation, a family member would dedicate their lives to the church of The Watcher.
Arcturus, all those years ago, had been a musician in his youth. It was a trait that the branch of the family had insisted on keeping, having their children learn various forms of music alongside the studying and training. It was in this tradition that the House of Arcturus found disappointment in their son Alaric. Their house had always produced wonderful musicians and singers, many traveling to different countries to perform for royalty. It was in this passion that many children pursued their studies and their training vehemently. It was not so with Alaric.
Although a talented insomniac, which his mother often called him as a child, he was wrought with laziness and complacency. His parents were further disappointed when they discovered his inability to hold a note or play an instrument. Even in his weapons training, he would often abandon the lesson to nap or eat. Though his parents would never realize it was not really his fault, or theirs for that matter. Alaric was the third son. He had two elder brothers, an elder sister and two younger sisters.
His eldest brother would eventually go on to take their father's place in the merchant business alongside the other branches of the family. It was his right and duty as the eldest. His second brother, the most musically talented for a number of generations would go on to perform all over Belorath. It was what he wanted and who were their parents to deny and harbor such an artist. His elder sister, in her kind hearted nature, would never pick up a weapon and would end up marrying to another house.
Alaric knew their traditions. Alaric knew his siblings. Alaric knew that no matter what, he would have to volunteer to join the church and serve The Watcher. As the third son, he could make no claim to their house and inheritance. He was talented, yes, but a genuis like his other brother? No. So he pretended he wasn't musically gifted, it didn't mater anyways. There was no way he could subject his sisters to the grind of servitude. He knew his fate. It was because of this, he just didn't care.
So when the time came to join the church, he held his siblings close and left. His lax nature prevented him from moving up in rank and moved him out of the capital, they didn't have faith that he would be able to do his duty properly even though he gave no other reason for such thoughts other than his unwillingness. However, his skill with the lance got him put into a group of Crusaders called the Lance of the Watcher. His nightly routine of not sleeping moved him into the small offshoot called the Night Watchers. At least, that's what they called themselves. They often stood guard at night while everyone else slept, led the nighttime scouting missions and were used as messengers.
And that's where Alaric stayed.
