[QUOTE="Joel Green, post: 7157392, member: 6893084"] This is for my fighter Joe, Just Joe Orphaned from a young age, all he wanted was to get out of the village and away from all the suffering. His chance came when a band of travelling mercenaries came through the village. For many years he was subjected to picking through the dead bodies on the battlefields until he proved his worth by saving the life of an officer of his company by hefting a glaive from one of the fallen and killing the assailant in one blow. From that day on he acted as that officers bodyguard, hefting that very same glaive through every war on nearly every continent across the world. Rising through the ranks he earned his own band of men at the rank of lieutenant, leading them glaive first through many gory and scarring battles. Finally, after one particulary brutal battle, his company was demolished, one of the last men standing, he took down man after man, finally taken down by a cowardly archer. This is why he holds no respect for those not proven as warriors. Held captive for many months, he and another officer held a break out, ripping the throat out of his torturer and making his way to the armoury, slaughtering any soldier or guard that opposed him along the way. Claiming his prized weapon, he and his fellow officer freed 500 men and escaped making their way across many countries and finally arriving back in illuskan lands, home. But his itch for adventure has never left him and he will continue until it eventually it does. [/QUOTE]
