He is loyal to himself and only those whom he considers worthy of his trust––a very short list. He was born in the small province of Ahvet, in the Empire of Nerath. By the time he was sixteen, Drynn was already wearied by the transformation of Nerath from a beautiful and prosperous nation into a brutal and stifling empire. Whispers of rebellion grew from every dark corner and alley. All people, thieves and scoundrels, priests and warriors, those loyal to themselves and those loyal to a higher authority, seemed bound together by some indescribable force. Perhaps it could be called patriotism, nationalism. Or, perhaps, it could be called survivalism. No one in Argon, the capital of Ahvet Province, resisted this movement, least of all Drynn Gi’nor.   Drynn had been apprenticed, so to speak, by the local thieves’ guild, the Disciples of Nataku. They had been grooming him to wreak havoc in the capital of Nerath. Unfortunately the war broke out openly much sooner than anyone had expected. Recruited for the Nerathian Army as soon as he turned seventeen, Drynn resisted their will for him at every turn. After three months of grueling physical and combat training, Drynn deserted. Quickly as he could, he ran back to Argon.   Ahvet was a changed land. People no longer had time for festivals, farming, and grand social escapades. It was a land consumed by the machinations of rebellion and war. The thieves’ guild had become the headquarters of the rebellion, and they were quite happy to see Drynn, their prized pupil, come home.   The War-Council wasted no time in putting Drynn to work. Within a week he had infiltrated a barracks in the neighbouring town of Asch. His abilities with the blade and shadows were the only things he needed in order to remove a major threat to his people. Surging with pride, adrenaline, and zeal for his cause, Drynn is ready to pursue his goals. He places his trust in the War-Council, in his comrades, the Disciples of Nataku.   Drynn Gi’nor stands ready to win this war.Appearance & Personality   Standing five feet and nine inches tall, Drynn usually slouches a bit. He wears his dark, reddish-brown, hair pulled back into a pony tail, except on the rare occasions when he goes out socially. His face is stern, but not cold. His green eyes have depth, but are not wells of water. His pale and ruddy complexion is contrasted by the dark greys, blacks, and greens of his clothes and cloak.   Drynn always carries as many weapons as he thinks necessary for the job, and to look intimidating. He does enjoy the theatrics of being a rogue a bit much at times, but he admits it as his one character flaw besides pride. He carries himself with strength and dignity when he walks in the open but when he moves through the shadows no one needs to see the shield of his pride, so he lets it fall to the ground below as he leaps from rooftop to rooftop.My thoughts on this character:Basically I want him to have some good talent in subtlety and assassination skills but he's still young and makes mistakes. I want him to make a major mistake (or series of mistakes) that he has to repent of and make atonement and reparations for. Also, I want him to help fight the war which, eventually, his people lose.Aside: I got this idea from the backstory of a character I'm playing in an IRL campaign. Drell Gi'nor is a human fighter, the son of Drynn Gi'nor, the assassin who fought against Nerath. Kind of cool, I think <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Let me know if you want more information; I can keep writing this stuff all day!</blockquote>
