Gender: Male
Profession: Ranger (actuallly, he resigned about two years ago, but he plans on getting his job back once he takes care of some stuff)
Appearance:
His skin's tanned from being out in the sun for so long - preferring to sleep outside instead of in. He never did like having a roof over his head (unless he was with Stella), loving the night sky too much to have it blocked. His hair is peppered with the coming of stressed age though he isn't stressed easily, which is why the gray hairs aren't in streaks. His eyes are dark and beedy, and usually hard as stone to keep people away. His nose is a little long, especially when compared to his eyes, but his equally wide, thin mouth balances out the contraction. His shoulders are broad and heavily muscled from using the longbow and his hours spent climbing among the trees. His limbs on the other hand are more slender than bulky, but just as powerful. His hands are big and rough, though certainly capable of being gentle.Personality:
Though his features are more rough than the 'normal man,' he's actually quite a gentleman...if you know what to look for. His gestures are more in the smaller things than the big and most of the time, people hardly notice it. He's a silent one, able to go full days without speaking, more so since he lost his wife, though he became curious in memory of her and so when curiousity tugs, he asks.History:
His mememories of her are still fresh and deeply cherished, a love lost in the physical world, but still alive within the beatings of his heart. He can be found from time to time staring off in the distance, remembering her smile, her laughter, her eyes. He carries the heartache forever with him along with her presense, so has never taken interest in another woman.
He comes from a wealthy family, but though he has his parents' money to fall back on, he doesn't touch it for himself (though he will give a pretty large amount away for a random reason just to tick his parents off; or gamble a lot of way for the same reason). He's not on the best grounds with his parents (obviously), having never really seen them as such. They never cared what he, or his other two siblings did, choosing to hand them off instead of care for them themselves. Because of this, Badger grew up grumpy, surly, and responsible for his younger siblings.Additional Information:
He practically raised them, but once he turned thirteen he decided to run off and see the world with a traveling entertainment group. He didn’t last long there and struck off on his own to head back home when he literally fell across a ranger’s camp. Curious at the blind, he stayed for a while before being ‘captured’ and thus began his training as a ranger (after he accidentally caught him by surprise – but that was only possible because it was an accident, caught himself by surprise too).
He visits his sibling from time to lengthy time (has two – one girl and one boy – twins), but never stays at the house because of his parents.
When he was twenty-three he met a woman by the name of Stella O'Heren. He fell in love with her, and she him. They ended up marrying only a year after, but their life of sharing didn't last long. Five years and nine months later, she died in childbirth.
In his agony, he gave his daughter away, unable to look at her and not half-blame her for her mother's death. He dropped her off with his sister and didn't come back for ten years. His sister, Penelope, refused to let him see her, unable to forgive him for what he'd down. She'd fallen in love with the girl (despite all the trouble) and didn't want to see her or her husband, Fletcher, hurt. He was stubborn in his pursuit and almost stormed into her room anyways, but Penelope played on his feelings for the girl, telling him that if he truly loved her he'd keep his distance. Shoulders slumped in defeat, he did.
For three years he plagued the land, doing his job with heartless enthusiasm, anything to take his mind off her, but on her thirteenth birthday, he just couldn't resist. He rode out to his sister's manor, but kept his prescence hidden to keep his promise. It panged and warmed his heart at the same time to see her shooting and when he left that night, he swore to get her accepted as a Ranger's Apprentice.
After the deed was done, he disappeared from her life once again.
Actually, he disappeared from everyone's life for the most part two years ago when an assignment went wrong and he was targetted to die. He'd resigned from the Ranger Corps when he was 39 so he could elliminate this problem since he wouldn't be able to give his country and king his all if the threat still lived in proximity to his family.
So he set out to end the conflict, but it currently having trouble tracking them. His opponent by the way, is named Hatchet.
