Description:
Getran is a handsome young man of impressive physical build. He is blessed with golden blonde hair and clear green eyes, both qualities that run in his noble family. He keeps his hair tied in a short ponytail, and usually has a five o'clock shadow that he can't seem to get rid of. To the more observant eye he seems to be hiding a lot of weakness from those around him, and his slightly dishevelled appearance may not be as intentional as it seems when the observer notes the partially concealed signs of exhaustion in his activities.
All of his weapons and armour are adorned with intricate inlays involving etching of Amunia's holy writs and the Thwaite family crest; a large dragon fang wreathed in thorny vines. When not in his military regalia however he'll usually be wearing noble garb, minus what he calls 'excessive' jewellery, which means he wears almost none. Apart from the signet ring with his family crest, he looks upon wearing jewellery as a frivilous vanity and would much prefer the large sums spent on such things to go to more worthy causes.
Getran, like all Paladins, is a kind and virtuous fellow. The natural charisma possessed by Paladins makes him a popular young gentlemen in the royal court. Many appreciate his charming wit and welcoming demeanor, and find it easy to ignore the small deviations in his appearance from that of other members of nobility.
Though he is easy-going and all smiles in social circles he takes his training very seriously, the previously mentioned observer may say too seriously. He trains regularly and with great vigour, intent on helping to preserve the kingdom of Amun, and protect it from whatever evils may lurk just beyond detection. He has shown focus in the use of the lance, in part because it is such a critical weapon in mounted combat, and in part because it is Amunia's favoured weapon. His training as a Dragonknight was permeated with evidence of his Templarhood.
Getran always says that even if he has deviated from the path of the Paladin (for good reason) he is still a representative of Amunia's divine will, and will continue to maintain the standards of behaviour upheld within the Paladin code of honour. A truly observent individual could possibly notice that he was trying to excel at two different careers, and that it was driving him harder than he would ever be willing to let on.
Background:
The Thwaite family had long provided a line of exceptional Paladins and clerics in the service of Amunia, dating back to times not long after the creation of the kingdom. Getran, as one of the sons of a notable cleric, was no exception and entered training within the Holy Academy to maintain family tradition. Within the Holy Academy however he was one of the top two percent, and was thusly offered a position within the Sacred Training Academy of the Templars to become a Paladin.
He progessed in this field without difficulty, and found himself particularly successful at mounted combat despite his rather average coordination. Such success did not go unnoticed for long, and it was soon realised by those training him that he was a suitable candidate for becoming a Dragonsquire. Of course this meant that once he started training to become an actual Dragonknight he could not resume the path of a Paladin. It was a matter of great debate with the Sacred Training Academy's faculty as to whether to keep the talented Getran on the path to becoming a Templar of Amunia, or recommend him for the even more prestigious Dragonknights. They decided to allow him to complete his Templar training, and not mention their dilemna.
Gradutation time came, and Getran's family was thrilled. He was now a Templar of Amunia. It wasn't long however before one of Getran's officers rose the query with the Academy faculty about the nature of the talent displayed by the young Paladin. He recommended him for squirehood within the Dragonknights. Thus the debate was started again, and faculty squabled amoungst themselves over what should be done. The matter was made even more important now that another Templar, currently in training, had displayed skill enough to be considered for Dragonknight training. A young Lady Even del'Dray was proving herself an impressive force, and despite the contreversy over a woman being so successful the decision made over Getran's fate would no doubt also affect hers. Two talented candidates within the ranks of the Templars tipped the scales, some were hesitant to give them away to the Dragonknights while others thought it was their duty to help these students reach their fullest potential. Eventually it was decided to simply allow them to decide for themselves.
The choice to gain immense honour as a Dragonknight, but deviate from family tradition, was difficult and took no small amount of thought on Getran's part. He conferred with family time and again, and was consistently reassured that the path to becoming a Dragonknight would be a mark of honour upon the Thwaite family name. Though given the all clear to enter training to become a Dragonknight, he still maintains firm ties to the Templars of Amunia.
He was made squire to Sir Wyte Jherat, the most experienced of the handful of Paladin-Dragonknights within the Dragonknights' ranks. Sir Wyte taught Getran the ways of the Dragonrider, and how they affected the ways of the Paladin. His new dual-role as both was not simple, but was quite possible at the level to which Sir Wyte was committed to either. Getran, though he respected Sir Wyte greatly, felt he himself was required to do more. Sir Wyte rose from relatively mundane origins to become the hero he was, and this made him one of the general populaces' favourites. In Getran's eyes this meant that all that Sir Wyte had accomplished was above and beyond the call of duty, and truly made him a great man. Getran's family name and his apparent talent however demanded more of him. He felt that he would have to not only balance being a Templar and Dragonknight, but to excel at both to truly prove himself worthy of his gifts.
He felt a kind of special bond with Lady Even. Not unlike his mentor he viewed her also with a great amount of respect, as not only had she forged a path to the top, graduating at the same time as Getran despite being younger, but she was the first woman to have pioneered not only the dual role she and Getran shared, but to have become the first female Dragonknight. With role models like Lady Even and Sir Wyte in his mind's eye, Getran came to see not the end product but the distance travelled as the real achievement. The achievements made by Lady Even and Sir Wyte were not required of them, but they made those achievements nonetheless. Sir Wyte being formerly merchant class, and Lady Even being a woman did not stop them. Getran looked at his own achievements next to theirs and found himself lacking. He was in the same position as either of them, but his family name meant that it was expected of him to be there. Despite the praise of his family and friends, it seemed he was only doing the minimum he could to earn such things. If he was to actually compare himself on even terms with his role models, he had to make amounts of progress comparable to theirs, had to push himself harder to compensate for the fact that where he was was easier to achieve than it was for Sir Wyte or Lady Even. He wanted to work himself just as hard as he felt they had worked themselves, and so he tried to not only succeed, but excel both as a Templar and Dragonknight. He fears this may come across as excessive competitiveness on his part, so he buries his exhaustion under his normally sociable and pleasant attitude and tries not to discuss his oddly full schedule with his honoured colleagues.
In time his training expanded into all facets of of a Dragonknight's life, which competed greatly with the commitments to the Templars that Getran maintained, but the time drew near to when he would become a fully fledged Dragonknight.

Appearance: Even is a heavily built woman with long wildly flowing red hair, she has a smattering of freckles across her pale skin, and a scar runs down her right cheek. She also has a large burn patch on her upper right arm where she was struck by lightning. She prefers to wear dark colours - greys, blacks, purples, and deep reds - all the better to reflect her stormy nature. While she wears glittering mail of chain, her shoulders, neck and elbows are protected by thin sheets of mithril enrgaved with the symbol of her God. She wears a blood red cloak embroided with a large holy symbol of her deity. Even wears long black, heavy soled leather boots with short heels that are laced up the side with strips of silver. Upon each of her hands she wears tight calf skin gloves died a deep purple. She often times has her flying goggles hanging from her belt of wide black leather, a silver buckle shaped in her deities holy symbol clinches the leather strap home.
Personality: Even is fiery, she is quick to anger when she feels an injustice is being perpetrated. She is also caring and loving, she respects people until they prove that they do not deserve her respect. She does not suffer class prejudice and will do all she can to assist anyone in need. She lives her life by the ideals taught at Military School. She always strives to be on time and believes that presentation and fine grooming is an important asset and so always presents herself appropriately, with the exception of her hair which, no matter what she does, remains unruly and wild - something that annoys her no end (in fact she has been contemplating cutting all her hair off, the only thing stopping her being the fact that her father (good bless his dead soul) always said that her hair was like the breath of the Dragonmother)
Background: Even's mother died at birth, as did her twin brother, and her father never remarried. She was the only child and, it was thought for awhile, that the family traditions of dragonriding would also die. But, Even proved to be a woman quite out-of-the-ordinary. As she grew Even took to pursuits not typical of the women of Amun in fact, her pursuits were decidedly manly. Some speculated that her brothers spirit or soul had, upon death, somehow married with that of his still breathing sister for she grew taller and stronger than was the norm for women of her race.
When it was obvious that his daughter was no ordinary maiden of Amun her father, Lord Baeldrin, employed the best tutors that his money could buy to prepare his daughter for entry into Military College. She was taught basic training in various arms, tactics of war, her letters and numbers (though she proved much more capable with sword than quill), and religious studies.
Even had a much harder time with those of her own age than she ever had with her father, servants or tutors. She was teased mercilessly for not being a typical Amun woman. Women hated her for her independant streak and her forthrightness, in front of both sexes. Men hated the fact that she could often best the most seasoned warrior and envied the ease with which she learnt the art of war.
As the first woman into the College Even was an oddity, some wanted to know her because of the novelty value and others for more dishonourable purposes. Some totally ignored her, acting as though she didn't exist at all and still others hated the fact that she had been allowed to attend the school, they thought that it was some slight against their own personal honour and tried their best to make her life extremly difficult.
After her second year at the College Even was just about ready to throw in the towel. She was missing her home terribly, even though she was doing moderately well in her classes the fact that she was the only woman in the school, with the exception of the nursing staff, was starting to take its toll. But her honour, and her family name, would not allow for failure.
Even learnt of her fathers death and the destruction of her homeland during her third year of schooling. Her family lands were close to the Skelandgrief border and were some of the first to fall when the Goblins began their invasion. Her fathers head was sent to the Conclave and her holdings were raized to the ground, the fields salted and the lake poisoned with bodies, faeces and other more gruesome items. She thirsts for revenge and has dedicated her life to her god (all that she has left in the world) and avenging her father.

Appearance: Even is a heavily built woman with long wildly flowing red hair, she has a smattering of freckles across her pale skin, and a scar runs down her right cheek. She also has a large burn patch on her upper right arm where she was struck by lightning. She prefers to wear dark colours - greys, blacks, purples, and deep reds - all the better to reflect her stormy nature. While she wears glittering mail of chain, her shoulders, neck and elbows are protected by thin sheets of mithril enrgaved with the symbol of her God. She wears a blood red cloak embroided with a large holy symbol of her deity. Even wears long black, heavy soled leather boots with short heels that are laced up the side with strips of silver. Upon each of her hands she wears tight calf skin gloves died a deep purple. She often times has her flying goggles hanging from her belt of wide black leather, a silver buckle shaped in her deities holy symbol clinches the leather strap home.
Personality: Even is fiery, she is quick to anger when she feels an injustice is being perpetrated. She is also caring and loving, she respects people until they prove that they do not deserve her respect. She does not suffer class prejudice and will do all she can to assist anyone in need. She lives her life by the ideals taught at Military School. She always strives to be on time and believes that presentation and fine grooming is an important asset and so always presents herself appropriately, with the exception of her hair which, no matter what she does, remains unruly and wild - something that annoys her no end (in fact she has been contemplating cutting all her hair off, the only thing stopping her being the fact that her father (good bless his dead soul) always said that her hair was like the breath of the Dragonmother)
Background: Even's mother died at birth, as did her twin brother, and her father never remarried. She was the only child and, it was thought for awhile, that the family traditions of dragonriding would also die. But, Even proved to be a woman quite out-of-the-ordinary. As she grew Even took to pursuits not typical of the women of Amun in fact, her pursuits were decidedly manly. Some speculated that her brothers spirit or soul had, upon death, somehow married with that of his still breathing sister for she grew taller and stronger than was the norm for women of her race.
When it was obvious that his daughter was no ordinary maiden of Amun her father, Lord Baeldrin, employed the best tutors that his money could buy to prepare his daughter for entry into Military College. She was taught basic training in various arms, tactics of war, her letters and numbers (though she proved much more capable with sword than quill), and religious studies.
Even had a much harder time with those of her own age than she ever had with her father, servants or tutors. She was teased mercilessly for not being a typical Amun woman. Women hated her for her independant streak and her forthrightness, in front of both sexes. Men hated the fact that she could often best the most seasoned warrior and envied the ease with which she learnt the art of war.
As the first woman into the College Even was an oddity, some wanted to know her because of the novelty value and others for more dishonourable purposes. Some totally ignored her, acting as though she didn't exist at all and still others hated the fact that she had been allowed to attend the school, they thought that it was some slight against their own personal honour and tried their best to make her life extremly difficult.
After her second year at the College Even was just about ready to throw in the towel. She was missing her home terribly, even though she was doing moderately well in her classes the fact that she was the only woman in the school, with the exception of the nursing staff, was starting to take its toll. But her honour, and her family name, would not allow for failure.
Even learnt of her fathers death and the destruction of her homeland during her third year of schooling. Her family lands were close to the Skelandgrief border and were some of the first to fall when the Goblins began their invasion. Her fathers head was sent to the Conclave and her holdings were raized to the ground, the fields salted and the lake poisoned with bodies, faeces and other more gruesome items. She thirsts for revenge and has dedicated her life to her god (all that she has left in the world) and avenging her father.

Appearance:
Kharsin is just slightly more than six feet tall, and he weighs about 170 pounds. His simple tan monk's robes leave his arms bare, so you can see that his arms are well muscled, though not impressively so. The skin that his clothing leaves uncovered is a uniform dark brown, from long hours spent in the sunlight as he works. His face is dominated by a set of largeish chocolate brown eyes, which overshadow his rather small nose. His mouth is thin and firm. His jaw-line is gracefully formed, neither particularly strong nor weak. His face is framed by a fuzz of brown-blond hair, which he keeps cropped short at all times.
Background:
Kharsin was brought up in the Shining Sun monastery, situated near the border of Mier and the territory claimed by the goblins of Skelandgrief. He was brought up with no knowledge of his parentage; his sensei, Janus, was the closest thing he ever had for a father.
The Sun school teaches that one must be as relentless as sunshine, working from sunup to sundown to improve the world beneath you. Kharsin followed this creed religiously, and by the time he was 14, he could easily defeat any of his class in hand to hand combat. He also seemed to grasp complicated fighting techniques in much less time than any sensei could remember.
He was immediately set to learning the advanced forms of the Sun school, which were normally reserved for those who had been in training for at least 20 years. But, applying himself with a will, Kharsin zipped through these advanced lessons, often entering completing a section in half the time of students twice his age. After a year of this, the teachers were worried- what were they going to do with him?
Janus had an answer for them. "Let me take him out into the world for a year," he begged. "The boy will stifle if we keep him cooped up here, with those who cannot match him." The leader of the monastery saw the wisdom in this and agreed. "But," he asked, "what will you two do?"
"We will travel to the city of St. Pox. I will teach him what I can on the way. And, once we are there, you know what else I can teach him," replied Janus.
So, after five days preparing for the journey, the two set out. They traveled light, knowing well how much ground they had to cover and how many goblins lay between them and their goal. But Kharsin was gleeful as they left- the trip had the feeling of a coming-of-age ceremony, and he was happy to share it with Janus.
They traveled many days, camping and foraging for food when they had to. When they weren't walking or hunting, they practised; for the first time, Kharsin realized just how much more there was for him to learn. Through it all, they always found a minute or two at the end of every day to just sit around the fire and talk with one another.
As they traveled, they did indeed run into goblin patrols from time to time. They avoided them when they could, and fought when they couldn't. When at last they were on the border of the goblin territory, however, they ran into the toughest fight they had yet encountered. A band of twenty goblins ambushed them, looking to kill the two outsiders who had taken out so many patrol groups. With them was a gigantic orc, one of the war-chiefs of the goblin band. Kharsin and Janus fought hard, knowing that they would be free if they could make it past this last battle.
Kharsin turned from the last of the goblins, ready to help his sensei with the orc. He was just in time to see the greatsword that the orc wielded cut deeply into Janus' stomach. The next few minutes will always be a blank for him, but when he came back to himself, the orc was in pieces and Janus was in his arms. Janus whispered to him "Go on, Kharsin. Go to St. Pox. There, in the Hall of the Dragons, you will find your destiny..." And so ended the life of Janus, the only father Kharsin had ever known.
He traveled the rest of the way to St. Pox in a daze; he had no idea how many days it took to get there, or even what route he took. He arrived at the gates many days later, haggard and malnourished, for he hadn't eaten or bathed since Janus died. He was taken to a hospital there and nursed back to health, but he did not say a single word in all that time.
When he finally was able to leave the hospital, he went at last to the Hall of the Dragons, where the Dragonknights met. He walked boldly in, and stood looking around for whatever he was supposed to see.
One of the Dragonknights strode over to him and said "What are you doing here, young man?"
"I am here looking for my destiny."
"The only destiny to be found here is that of the Dragonknight, and you're too old to begin training for that," replied the Dragonknight.
"I have been in training for over eight years. I can handle whatever training is required to be a Dragonknight" was Kharsin's calm reply.
He was right, as it turned out. He worked as hard at being a Dragonknight as he ever had at learning forms, and he excelled. Now it is Graduation morning, and Kharsin is, for the first time, wondering if Janus knew what he was talking about, when he said that Kharsin would find his destiny here.

Konrad Irongate
In all honesty, I read the other three character backgrounds I made and thought they were fairly gay. This one is not that wondrous by any means, but it leaves me alot of room to experiment with role-playing. The general concept is equivalent of an officer in todays military. I do apologize for taking so long. The character is fairly straightforward with his class advancement being the following:
1. Fighter/Marshal
2. Fighter/Marshal
3. Fighter/Marshal
4. Fighter/Marshal
5. Fighter/Marshal
6. Dragonrider/Marshal
7. Dragonrider/Marshal
8. Dragonrider/Marshal
[SBLOCK=Appearance]
Appearance: If it weren't for his cheerful demeanor, Konrad would be an imposing sight. Seemingly blessed by Amunia,
he was graced with a large and powerful build, a handsome face, and enough social grace to get on with most anyone. His eyes are dark green, seeming almost brown at a distance. His light brown hair is cut short, and his square-jawed face is clean shaven. His posture is that befitting a military official, shoulders back, chest out, slightly bent back at the waist when he walks and fingers clenched. He is a confidant man and exudes that confidance to those he encounters.
When dressed for battle, Konrad dons his Full Plate Armor and hefts a heavy steel shield on his right arm. A heavy longsword is sheathed on his left hip, and on his back is a quiver and unstrung bow. All of his armament is master crafted, though none of it is adorned with artistic intricacies. His gear is in good condition, but is obviously battle worn with dents, nicks and scrapes.
Konrads civilian attire is comfortable, but as subdued in appearance as his war gear. Since it is typically not acceptable for matters of court or importance, he will wear the appropriate clothing when social occasions arise.

[SBLOCK=Background]
Background: Konrad Irongate was born the first son of Andreas and Maewen Irongate. His family has a reputation for their martial prowess for duties in serving the outer reaches of the kingdom. The name Irongate was taken by the family, ages ago, because they constantly pushed as far into the frontier as possible in order to be the first defense against outsiders. Konrad continues this family tradition, though not in a musty keep on the outskirts of the kingdom, but on the back of a mighty Gold Dragon.
He remembers little of his family before he was sent to the academy for training. He has a few memories, but in all honesty he doesn't know which are real and which are imagined. He does know that his parents were proud and joyful when he left, making him feel eager and excited for his future training.
Konrads military training was intense and comprehensive. Konrad displayed no skill with the arcane, and lacked the faithful discipline of the divine. What he did easily come to know and understand were combat and tactics, and deep love for Amun. What Konrad brings to the fight is leadership. He was groomed to become a combat leader, and now excels at the roll. He knows how to motivate and command so that the Dragon Knights can know success in war.
It should be noted that although Konrad is a skilled leader, he is not one privy to the minor nuances of intrigue. He is straight forward in his dealings. His skill with diplomacy is military in nature, enough that he can interact with superiors, nobles, dragons and allies without making a fool of himself or offering offense any of the former.
