History (Synopsis) - Maddox Taldryn calls the town of Pylas Talaear when he is not out on patrol, which seems to be more and more as of recent months. As a teenager he had found employ with Lord Ector Flint, training to fight amongst his ranks. However, before he sixteenth birthday he would defect to follow King Wolfric Angoril when he was given an ultimatum whilst in the field. He had been training with the Crimson Knights as a squire for about four years. It was just recently that he had become a full fledge Knight partially because he was qualified but mainly because of the dire need King Angoril has expressed for fighters to join his cause and aid in the retention of his throne.

Currently, Maddox patrols the northeastern area of the Sundering Peaks only miles away from Taer Kalindal Castle and his former master Lord Ector Flint sits fighting against the King. While he has maintained control over the surrounding land, Lord Flint has not been able to truly break the King's defenses of the surrounding towns and cities. Maddox, however; has found success in defending the realm against those who would speak out against the King. He hopes to retire in the King's service and perhaps acquire a lordship of his own.

Abel Rosicrucian

Equipment:

• One-handed Sword - Shorter than a conventional two-handed longsword while also being longer than a one-handed shortsword, this trademark cruciform-shaped sword wielded by Abel is a fairly modest yet versatile weapon which has served him well on his travelling.
• Sheath Shield - A personalized shield that was made on request by Abel during his start as a hunter of the forces of evil; custom designed to have a sheath for his trademark sword connected on the back. Though made with ease of use in mind when considering the weight, the iron exterior of the front is nevertheless quite durable.
• Light Gear - He wears fairly lightweight gear underneath his garb; never having received conventional knight armour or anything similar, and personally preferring speed and healing/support magic over brute physical defensive force.
• Evelyn's Pendant - An amulet passed down through generations by the family of Abel's fiancé. It is said to have been blessed and grants its holder a powerful resistance to magical curses. When Abel went off on his pilgrimage with his mentor his fiancé left it in his care as a good luck charm, citing how he could use all the fortune he could get.

Spells:

• Fortify Endurance - Abel's primary magic spell, and the one he has spent the most time investing in. Preferring to use lightweight gear in order to allow him swift movement in battle against the dark forces resulted in his physical defence being weaker than a traditional warrior, so he frequently casts this spell in order to even the playing field. He wanted to learn a more elaborate form of magic that would allow him to cast magic barriers, but he has yet to find a tome on the matter or receive proper tutelage on it.
• Fortify Speed - A spell that Abel uses when facing against inhuman foes in order to keep up with their potentially superhuman speed. He is still learning this spell just like all of his other magic, so he is not able to push it to an extreme.
• Fortify Fatigue - While his resolve is beyond that of a person of weak personal principles, he is well aware that humans suffer from fatigue and their body can surrender long before their mind will. In order to compensate for this, he has taught himself this spell in order to boost his stamina in times of dire need.
• Heal Minor Wounds - In order to remove an over reliance on healing potions, during the early part of his tutelage in the basics of magic he chose to teach himself the art of healing magic. Since he was never given a chance to complete his formal study, he is currently limited to healing minor wounds; mostly injuries that would not be absolutely fatal.
• Turn Undead - Though unlikely to serve any use against a human opponent, Abel has become proficient at the use of basic holy magic due to his work as a hunter of unholy forces. While his potential in the arts was noted to be extraordinary, he has never received sufficient training due to having to leave before his tutelage could really begin. Nevertheless, while he has yet to learn how to banish and destroy evil or unholy enemies through magic he is capable of using this spell to demoralize the will of the undead and negate their bloodlust.

Items:

• Holy Water Vials - Since he has yet to learn higher level holy magic, Abel often uses vials of this nature in order to bless his sword; dripping the liquid onto the blade in order to allow it to set the forces of evil ablaze and purge them.
• Magic Potions - Carried with him at all times when he has the opportunity to afford them; he uses these potions to replenish mana.

History (Synopsis): Left at a monastery as a child, Abel was adopted into their fold and learned under the wings of the order's grand master. The Rosicrucian Priory specialized in protecting humanity from the forces of evil, an art which he soon became well-versed in. Eventually Abel fell in love with a young woman from a nearby town named Evelyn, who would soon become his fiancé. During his final pilgrimage accompanying his adopted father before the soon coming fulfilment of his promised marriage, his mentor was killed by a tragic incident involving the agents of the darkness, leaving him stranded in a foreign land with no money and no way easy way to get home. His thoughts remain only of returning to his beloved and informing the order of his master's demise. In order to achieve this, he uses his skills to hunt the undead anywhere that their appearance troubles others, effectively becoming something of a mercenary who specializes in facing against evil. He is considered powerful even among the young knights of his order due to his talent for the magical arts derived from his master's tutelage.

Other: Abel actually has very little experience fighting to the death against his fellow man; his work has primarily revolved around hunting unholy forces, particularly the undead. While he has served as a bodyguard a few times for travelling merchants or the like, he has never actually killed a man before and usually uses his fighting prowess to force a surrender. He is not entirely without knowledge of how to kill nor is he at all inept in combat, but he has never killed a human personally and would rather avoid it. Nevertheless, he is a fearless and adaptive combatant who is capable of an unorthodox and exotic style of fighting, also holding wisdom beyond his years and exceptional resilience.

Evelyn Wallace

Name: Evelyn Wallace
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: N/A
Occupation: Bakery Shopkeeper
Alignment: Neutral Good
Deity/Religion: N/A (she believes in the philosophy of the Rosicrucian Priory now that she is older enough to make her own decisions in terms of faith, but in her younger years she was raised affiliated with the local religion of her town)

Appearance:
Height: 163cm / 5'4"
Weight: Refuses to reveal
Skin Colour: White
Eye Colour: Blue
Hair Colour: Golden Blonde

Evelyn Wallace

History (Synopsis): The daughter of the owner of the bakery run in the town closest to the monastery of the Rosicrucian Priory, the order being within a short distance of its outskirts. She is engaged to Abel, and believes in the philosophy of the order -- the founder actually being something like a second father to her now. When Abel went off on his pilgrimage, she left her pendant in his care and now devotedly awaits his return home.

Other: This character profile was written in collaboration with @Ailyn Evensen. No 'Class' was ever selected for her as she was not intended to take a role in combat, although she could have proficiency in healing magic of some kind. There was a possibility of having her be a Bard in training, but I am not listing it for now.

Auguste Rosicrucian

History (Synopsis): The founder and grand master of the Rosicrucian Priory, a small order situated in a monastery that focuses on protecting humanity from the forces of evil. He is deeply shrouded in mystery -- even his status as a human being is completely unknown as he has never aged in all the generations since founding the order. Recognized as an unparalleled master of the battle arts, his genius combat skills are considered more arcane in nature than those of a warrior. The trademark 'sword' he wields is able to morph into any weapon at will and he is seemingly a master of every form it takes, and he possesses immense magical powers to back those skills up. The adopted father of Abel, he was on a pilgrimage to another land with him when a tragic incident involving a trap set by those of the darkness ended up taking his life.

Other: His trademark 'sword' is currently in Abel's possession, but since the weapon does not acknowledge him as its true master he is unable to wield it.
