Name: Goinin Driijak
Age:24
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Weapon(s):
Alignment: Utorion
Height and Weight: 6'4'', 200 lbs
Eye Colour: Blue
Hair Colour: Black
Likes: Blunt weapons, black humour, momentary chaos, alcohol, soft foods, quiet, solitude, music, art
Dislikes: Politics, blades, conversation, public affections, full fledged chaos, other's nostalgia
Appearance: Unlike his father, Goinin has a very robust build which some attribute to him eating his parasitic twin. He’s very pale with hollow cheeks and eyes accentuated by the forest of black hair surrounding his perpetually frowning face,growing down to his waste. Despite his age his hair is visibly paling on either side of his head.He has a long, hooked nose and pale blue eyes. A large, pink scar can be found on the right side of his neck.
History: In the kingdoms of Xanvius lineage holds a lot of weight. Father's hand over their lands to sons and in turn ensure their belongings stay within their family. This holds especially true in Utorion, where the looting and destroying weakened families has never been an infrequent event. In fact is customary in Utorion households that when their wife is pregnant with a potential heir, the patriarch should pray every night to Cosmos for a good boy and to Ramael to take them if they prove bad. A weak, dim, or unappealing heir affects the entirety of the family, for one trip up when they ascend to the head of their house will set their enemies at all of their throats.
This held especially true for King Driijak, yet he'd had little luck in his quest for an heir. His wife was in the habit of having thinly veiled affairs and most children she had were under suspicion of being bastards. Driijak had never cared as he despised the woman as much as she hated him. However, he needed a son who was his without question, otherwise his tenuous position as monarch would degrade even further.
The King imprisoned his Queen in their chambers, the only people allowed in were himself, castrated guards and her midwives. Driijak mad certain it was public knowledge that his wife had been locked away until it could be determined she was pregnant, even going so far as to make it a point to show her confinement off to guests. It didn't take long for her to start showing signs she was with child. Town criers were sent out to announce the news all across Utorion. The king even planned for an entourage of lords and ladies to watch the birth.
This ultimately backfired on Driijak when the birth actually took place. He had a son as he'd hoped, but there had been complications. The baby was huge and had a growth reaching up from it's upper back, resembling a malformed arm. At least, that's what some witnesses say they saw before being asked to leave.
For a year nothing was heard or seen of the child. Rumors spread the child had been killed, or that it had died soon after the birth. Then servants from castle Driijak began to whisper of a young boy roaming the halls, tall and sickly with something always wrapped around his neck. For some time the child was only referred to hushed tones, until the King and Queen began referring to their son, Goinin.
Growing up, Goinin spent much of his time within the castle's walls. He spent most of his time with the people tasked to teach him. Their relationship with the young prince weren't warm ones, with most of his teachers regarding him with condescension or fear. His weapons master was the kindest to him, a hot tempered man who was always drunk and impatient when it came to teaching, but would offer up advice for Goinin outside of class. He often told Goinin that the easiest way to get through life was to do what was asked of you and not make too much noise afterward until he was fired for stealing from the wine cellar and mixing what was left of the alcohol with water to cover his tracks.
Personality- Goinin is an
Weapons/abilities
Martial Training: As suit’s a prince, Goinin was trained in how to handle himself in battle by some of the most highly regarded teachers in Utorion.
Strength: Being larger than most means Goinin is, by extension, stronger than most. This allows him to wear the heavier armour he favours.
The Steel Turtle:
Fate’s head: A steel flanged mace of a fine make. There are etchings on the handle of two hands holding up two warriors as they prepare to face off with each other. It was created for use by Goinin.
