Aleko "Frost" Sendrakon


25 Years of Age

Halfling (Human and White Shepherd mix)

Appearance


Aleko stands at a height of 185 cm, averagely built and straight-backed. Being a halfling, he shares distinctive characteristics of both races that mixed to create him: his body is humanoid and tall as a human, has no tail, covered with a short, very fine, clean and carefully trimmed pure white fur with no thicker spots on his chest, underarm, groin or back area; his head bares a canine snout and a pair of triangular ears, but his face isn't as rough and animalistic as a pure blood anthro, it is much more refined. His jawline, eyes, cheek gaunt and forehead are shaped by his human genes, forming a charming harmony between the two extremities, a particularity all halflings are fortunate to enjoy. His eyes are blue and the blonde mop of hair on the top of his head resembles human hair, combing and fixing it to flow upwards and to the side to cherish his generous forehead and the complementing angular shape of the blonde pair of eyebrows.

Personality: Down to earth, stern, disciplined, dedicated, just and very stubborn, so stubborn that some mistake him for being dumb. Innovative and progressive thinker, he excels when given a very tight situation. Very emotional, to the point that almost every affront he receives, he considers it to be very personal; although he masks his emotions, everything that upsets him pools up inside him and erupts from time to time in nearly violent outbursts. He knows not to show this weakness of his in front of anyone, but should he crack up, he will take his rage out one way or another, despite all the discipline that has been soldered in his thinker.

History


Aleko was raised in a relatively wealthy, noble family of anthros back on their home island. His birth brought a storm inside the family, as most of the seniors saw this cub's existence as a direct insult to their lineage; his human traits were obvious enough to rupture the union between the families, tearing the marriage and leaving the child with the defamed mother. Her own family did not shun the poor woman, instead, helped her raise the, otherwise, beautiful child. Although he was named Aleko Farland Hyde the IIIrd, he quickly received his specific nickname of "Frost" or "Frosty" due to his white, reflective fur; while there were other half-breeds in the community he grew up, people still gave him weird looks since his father's identity was not truly known, other than the fact that he must have had been a human with blonde hair and green eyes. He didn't quite understand why he was so different until later in his life, when he came all by himself to the conclusion that his own mother had been unfaithful to her husband, giving birth to an illegitimate offspring; distraught and shaken to the core, Aleko degraded himself to a level lower than earthworms, causing emotional instability and the constant sense to prove himself worthy and the fight to make everyone around him happy enough to accept him the way he was, with his dark origins.

At a later age, his mother insisted to her child to follow a military path in his life, and like the well-mannered son he was, he accepted in a heartbeat. Up to that point, he showed great potential to become part of the military force, being able to beat down even the largest of the back-yard brats using his ingenuity by using environmental advantages, while at class he was doing best with history, logic class, arithmetics, physical education and foreign languages. His contact with his peers was minimal, but had always been in good terms with them, as he ended up being known as a kid that talks little, but knows quite a bunch and is kind enough to share his desert with the less privileged. It must have been mother's intuition, as Aleko did excellent work during his early ears of military academy, ending up as a prime candidate to become an officer of the Imperial Mechanized Rangers, the elite detachment that trained excellent warriors the expertise of handling semi automatic rifles and assimilating all five major fencing school tomes. Aleko quickly became an adept of long sword fencing and quite a talented shooter, his superior promising that one day he may just become a high-ranking general. As such, he was taught some more refined techniques regarding high social encounters and situations and, most importantly, the Anthro ways of diplomacy and political presence. The Anthro diplomacy structure relies on three key laws to be respected by any Anthro diplomat in order to keep good relation with other diplomatic envoys:

1. Eloquence is a virtue of language and culture, the more intricate a statement is, the greater the chance for one to not fully understand your motives and accept your idea as is
2. Please everyone else first, then thyself; this is the only way for everyone to achieve good relations and gain benefits from it later
3. Always expect the unexpected, hope for the best and prepare for the worst

But that beautiful life had to be reached with a lot of boring paperwork, errand running and very little real combat. He had seen his share of action on the field, surviving several ambushes and winning quick skirmishes against an opposing party, his ingenuity reaching the maximal peak under the stress of time shortage.

Everything changed the day one peculiar, yet renowned wizard appeared with an urgent message for the young lieutenant. He did not have the slightest clue just how drastically his life would change in one day and the back-breaking responsibilities had to carry on his young, inexperienced shoulders; he could carry the weight, sure, but he also had to use that weight to his advantage and turn the tides of the never ending civil war that engulfed the broken Avalon.
