The Characters of LGG1

[Dragonsrule]

Well, my new character is going to be familiar, in a small way, to LGG3 character. Of course the only thing in common is being the 1/2 Dragon. He is gonna be an Elf/Silver Dragon combo. He will be a Ranger, since Antioch wants us to try and Resurrect Rual. I'll come up with a full background shortly.

Background

Alacard was born in mountain country the son of a prospector and his Half-Elven wife. He, however, has little memory of his parents at the age of three his family was attacked by orcs while on the road to the nearest town. During the orc attack Alacard was knocked from his family’s wagon he slid down the embankment ran along side the roadway he hit a tree and was knocked unconscious. The orcs thinking him dead took the wagon and left, taking his parents along as slaves.

Alacard was found by an Elven Ranger who took him to a near by outpost. Once he could get a coherent story out of young Alacard, the ranger rounded up some of his comrades and went searching for the orcs. Unfortunately, it took several days to track the orcs down and by then Alacard’s parents were dead. In an uncommon gesture, the elves allowed Alacard to stay with them, mainly because one of the older elves had taken a liking to the boy. When he reached the age of 10 Alacard petitioned and was accepted into the Citadel of Light and Shadow, the training ground of the Duskblades. After 6 long years of training he graduated, and entered service with the Watchers, the elite guard of the northern border of the Elven kingdom. The wastes to the northeast teamed with orcs and ogres and the northwest was overrun with undead. For the required term of 6 years Alacard served on the front line of this never ending war rarely a day went by that there was not a minor skirmish. And major attacks occurred 4-5 times a year, this constant conflict honed his skills to a razor’s edge.

At the age of 24 Alacard left the Watchers gathered his, gear, and took his leave of the Elven kingdom having at last paid his dept to the elves. He set off on a life of adventure, traveling the world to further strengthen himself. After a year of adventure Alacard stumbled upon a vague reference to a legendary suit of armor. The Edge of Night; supposedly forged by the original Duskblade, the elf that gave life to their unique blend of magic and weapons. Intrigued Alacard set off to discover what he could of this armor. After six months of searching out the most learned scholars he could Alacard finally found the information he sought. The Edge of Night was a highly magical (+5) suit of Full Plate that didn’t hamper the wearer’s movement (considered light armor, max dex +4, armor check penalty -3), moreover this marvelous armor enhanced the casting of a Duskblade (1.5 X the Duskblades number of spells per day, +1 DC to all Duskblade Spells). The only trouble is that last time the armor had been seen was over 1000 years ago and that had been in a distant island nation, undaunted Alacard set off in search of the Edge of Night.

Personality

Alacard is a very trusting person; until they prove to be untrustworthy he assumes people can be trusted. Alacard was shown great kindness when he was in need and that has left a strong mark on him; he makes friends quickly even though he is usually on the quiet side. He is also very loyal, he would follow a friend or comrade in arms to the Abyss should it prove necessary. Though he would probably try to talk his friend out of this action, this combined with his trusting nature has lead Alacard into trouble before but he endures this with out complaint.
