Bio:
Laine Eldor was born in a small village to a caring mother and father. Growing up Laine was for the most part a loner having only one for most of his teenage life, his neighbor of Silverfang descent Rochilda Imanie. Rochida was the exact opposite of Laine. Whilst he was more of softer person, Rochilda was tough and was not afraid to let others know it. Whilst Laine was more of a thinker, Rochilda let her fists think for her resulting in usually very bad situations. However their differences seemed to make them gravitate towards each other even more. They did almost everything together rarely being seen apart other than when they were sleeping.
Once Laine was fourteen his father sat him down and explained to him the legacy of the Eldors, and how when he passed Laine would have to continue on the business in the village out of duty more than anything else. While Laine was interested in his father’s trade he could suppress the feeling of sadness, longing to forge his own path rather than follow in one already predestined for him. But fearing that he would hurt his father, Laine begrudgingly promised his father that he would continue on the Eldor legacy and work his father’s workshop.
As the years went on Laine worked himself to sleep tirelessly learning how to produce better armor and weapons and for the most part, it was paying off as some people started taking notice. Soon however his life would change drastically. Around the time that Laine’s skills were being noticed, Rochilda pitched the idea that herself and Laine should join a mercenary group that was recruiting in the town north of their village. After much deliberation and a massive amount of convincing, Laine accepted the idea and was travelling by morning the only thing he left behind was a note to his parents. Laine was seventeen when he left his old life behind…
And so began his new life as a mercenary. Laine had little to no experience in combat, apart from the basics so most of his time was spent training with Rochilda. For the first six months of their new lives, Rochilda and Laine saw no combat. However this changed when his group was tasked with taking over a Bandit Kings Stronghold by a Lord. Believing the Bandit King to be weaker than most, the mercenaries accepted the task.
But the mercenaries were wrong.
The bandit king and all of his followers were deserters of the Talos army. The mercenaries on the other hand were comprised mostly of novices who barely knew which end of the blade was the one used for killing. The bandits all but massacred the mercenaries, with those that survived fleeing or being captured, Unfortunately
Laine was severely injured and captured, with Rochilda perishing in the fighting. Laine awoke underground in a dark damp cell with a man he would soon call his mentor, Rotsam Laurelis. Rotsam was an older gentleman however had the look of someone who could kill you in two seconds. As Laine settled down in what appeared to be his new home, he found out that Rotsam actually was a former member of the bandits, who was caught trying to desert.
After almost two days of living in the cell, sounds of battles and the screams of death could be heard as a combination of the Lord’s men and a group of hardened veteran mercenaries stormed the stronghold and captured it. Being freed from his captivity, Laine felt lost. Feeling as though his parents would never accept him back, Laine contemplated what to do next, that was until Rotsam, feeling pity for the young lad, gave Laine a choice between allowing him to be his mentor, or wandering aimlessly until someone killed him. Without a second thought Laine picked the former option.
For the next nine years Laine was pushed to his limits, being forced to enter the fighting pits to earn money for him and his mentor, aswell as training with said mentor. On top of it all Laine forced himself to continue being a blacksmith, working for any forge that would take him. Finally after nine long, hard and painful years, Rotsam had decided that he had thought Laine all he could and so parted ways with the boy and set a course for Illuim. Laine found himself yet again lost not sure of what to do or where to go. So for six months he traveled the roads of Alestoth, trying to find purpose and meaning in his life.
However, no matter where he went, trouble always seemed to follow. This was especially the case when one night at a tavern Laine had gotten into a fight with four men after they had harassed a barmaid. The fight lasted less than minute before all the men lay unconscious.
After the fiasco, Laine took his leave and started to make his way out of the town he was in. As he made his way out of the city and continued his travels he was stopped by a hooded figure. Without almost any warning the figure attacked him. And thus began the longest two minutes of Laine's life. To this day, he will admit to everyone that had the reaper that recruited him been trying to kill him, he would have perished that night.
Fortunately for Laine, that was not the case as the figure suddenly stopped attacking him and revealed that he was a reaper and that he watched the fight Laine was apart of earlier and was curious as to how skilled he was. After a brief exchange of words, the reaper offered Laine a chance to join The Black Order. And of course Laine accepted...
And that is where Laine has been for the past two years, providing his services wherever it may be needed. Where his adventure will lead him next, only time will tell…
Fighting Style:
Laines fighting style focuses mainly on the use of dodges, parries and counters to exhaust his opponents and force them to make a mistake, one that he can capitalize on. Laine is fast and will almost always manage to dodge or parry an attack although. Laine truly shines when it comes to endurance being able to last longer in a fight than most men. Laine’s number one priority when fighting is to prolong the bout until he sees an opening letting his opponent waste his stamina trying to hit him before coming in for a quick takedown. However if a fight carries on for too long, Laine has been known to unleash a flurry of attacks upon his opponent in an attempt to force his opponent to make a mistake although this is a tactic he rarely uses as he becomes easily tired after doing so.
