Here's what I have so far. I'll have the background up before the night is through.
Mista, any chance I could use my favor in house to aquire a horse? A light warhorse would be fine, though a magebred, heavy, or heavy magebred would be even better. If not, I'll pay for it normaly (Like I have at the moment).
Edit - Added background. Might have a bit of cheese in it, but I think it works, is entertaining, and gives you a good feel for the personality and the why of who he is. He's a bit more of a crusader for good in general than a holy crusader, but I don't think that should be a big problem.

Appearance: Johan is definitely a handsome young man. His short blonde hair is well maintained, and his deep blue eyes are a stark contrast to his well-tanned skin. He has a well-toned muscular physique, and stands fairly tall. His is fancily embroidered and has a gold clasp with the house insignia. His armor is well polished and maintained, and his clothing is always well maintained
Personality: Johan is a bit of a wild child, but is generally good hearted. He follows his own view of what is right, and does not compromise that. He enjoys attention and the spot light, but has stopped seeking the negative spotlight of late. Johan enjoys the company of others, particularly the company of women. He is quite sociable, and has a way with words that can ease hostilities.
Background: Johan d'Deneith has always had the easy life. His parents, Borris and Sandra, held great influence in the Deneith house, and were quite well off. His older brother and sister both manifested their dragon mark well before he was of age to, and his parents were often too busy training them to worry about Johan, so they would leave him with one of their many caretakers, which would either keep him “captive” in some small area of the estate, or pay little attention to him and let him run wild.
By the time Johan was 16, he was making friends in the house with his charm. Which was a good thing, because it’s the only thing that kept him out of trouble. However, he had not manifested a dragon mark, so his parents sent him off to the school of his choice. Wanting to get away from his parents who lived near Sharn, he chose to go to the University of Wynarn in Fairhaven.
Johan found some needed discipline at the university, but not a lot. He knew how to skate by on his wits and natural intelligence, though he was able to excel in skills at arms, as well as those of religion. Also, he truly enjoyed horsemanship, and trained in that extensively, going as far as taking an Animal Husbandry class with Prof. Byless Delavert to learn the proper care and maintaining of a horse. But his biggest change came when he took a class in Applied Religion.
Of course, Johan took Applied Religion for the same reason most people did, Prof. Natasha Woodlow was very hot. Not to be discouraged by the stigma of a student-teacher relationship, he looked for reasons to spend extra time with her. Natasha, a Paladin herself, took advantage of the time to teach Johan, drawing on his strong beliefs and good-natured heart. Johan learned that not all Paladins stood for law and order, and that in his heart was the ability to be a Paladin of Freedom. By the time Johan came to figure out Natasha wasn’t interested in him as a man, he didn’t care. At semester’s end, she had publicly stated that Johan was an up and coming Paladin.
Of course, this had its perks, because chicks dig paladins, not to mention good looking young wealthy nobles. Being a Paladin of Freedom, Johan started to watch his step a bit more, but he still enjoyed his fare share of the ladies. Always active socially, Johan was still an occasional troublemaker and definitely well known on the campus, but in general he flew on the straight and narrow, and the troubles he got into now was the occasional foray into areas he wasn’t supposed to be, or occasionally standing up to a professor he felt was treating him or another student unfair. He was heralded for standing up for any and everyone he felt had been wronged or held back, regardless of social status. He even led a few Warforged Equality rallies through Fairhaven and the University.
With a renewed dedication, he also picked up his schoolwork, delving into religion and combat to augment his excellent horsemanship skills. If he had not skated through early in his scholastic career, he would have easily been near the top of his class, though as it was, he managed to finish with honors.
