About Roland, just RolandBackground:
”Stupid kid” - called the fiend-like human, in a weird accent. Roland could not complain about it, laying there on the ground with his jaw aching from the punch he just received. He was indeed stupid, or mad, or both, cause no human from Tarlof would dare face the constant hellspawn that raided and charged taxes from the surrounding farms. Especially when armed only with a stick. Especially when being a 7-year-old human child. Pathetic, really. But that kid was raised like a slave, with no toys or friends to play with, no family to comfort or advise him. There were demons and devils, thieves and scoundrel. And a lot of job to do, carrying stuff and trying to breed animals for the hordes of hell. He had nothing to lose, mind you, aside from his life, which was not worth much either.
So one day he rose up to the challenge, took the weapons he had and proceeded to start a revolution! He approached the enemies with a murderous intent, using the shadows to conceal his presence. When close to the leader of a little hellish group, he lifted his weapon high summoning all his strength and.... Yes, he took a beating he would probably never forget. What were you expecting? A god-like child? The punches and kicks he received came out of the freaking nowhere, or so he imagined. ”How fast!” thought Roland. In his perception they were like speed itself! But we know they were just normal hell-spawn, which cannot be compared to a kid, right? Anyway, they pitied him, and made fun of the child for a long time, but they let little Roland live, fun as he was to them. His wounds healed after a couple days, since they were not too harsh (or otherwise he could not work for the hordes). But although he should have learned his lesson, he rose up again, took his stick, and tried again. Man, do you imagine how crazy can a kid be to try that again? Roland once again took some farming tools and tried the same ambush, watchful for his flanks now. Once again he was about to kill that m~~+%+**&+!*, and then…. surprise!! He took another beating! But after a couple more days he was there again, failing again! The boss of that little group, Baltazar, started enjoying the kid's futile acts, so much that he thought about inviting him in. But Roland would not hear about it, for his own sake. ”We will teach you how to fight, kid!" - screamed one of the soldiers while punching him - "We are strong, you can also be!" - called another - "We will beat your soul out of your body if you don’t!” Trust me, they could be pretty convincing, but we’re not talking about a regular person. This kid was as obstinate as one could get, and his futile tries eventually got known around the region, giving him some (lame) fame. After some time the soldiers of hell brought their own spawn to give little Roland a beating, making a show out of it! Roland realized that, although he was getting tougher, his plan was getting nowhere. There were too many for him to have a real chance, and of course he didn't have the surprise element anymore, thus it would be better to seek new targets. And so he did. Finding a lone thief sleeping inside a cave, he approached silently. Now you’re mine! – he thought. But when he brought his fork down on the victim, the body was not there anymore, and Roland did not see the kick that drove him out of his balance, nor the other one who pushed his weapon away. He only saw the steel coming for his head. It was the end for him, he knew. But the sword stopped midair, and the wielder made a funny face toward him. ”You’re the stupid kid they are talking about, aren't you?” Roland escaped from this event without injuries, and he even got a nice rusted longsword, that by the time was way too big for his small hands. But it was a real weapon. One he would use to kill Baltazar! And thus he approached the tiefling, ready to shower death over the poor hell-spawn!
He failed over and over and over, and survived by a combination of fame, pity, luck and determination, which was, to say the list, certainly the work of fate. But one day the scenario would change. His first kill he made at the age of 11, and it only increased his hope to succeed in the ridiculous task of freeing the land from those creatures. At the age of 13 he had several kills to boast off, but as he became a real threat some folks found him. ”It’s time to put and end to your little shows, stupid.” A feeling of dreadful desperation took hold of Roland, and he realized in an instant how lucky he was to be alive up to that moment. He could not throw that away, and he was no match to Baltazar and his gang. But he could run, and much faster than those weak and undertrained bandits. It was not easy to escape from them, but once again luck guided him, and for days he traveled east to get into a place where he could be safe. And this is pretty much the story of Roland, the kid who dared to challenge the hordes of hell, without fully knowing what it represented. Of course, stupid and all, but his lack of wits was his salvation, and he learned his lesson. For long years after, he traveled seeking allies to practice and eventually try to free someone from the demon's grasp, which they often succeeded at. Nowadays, he’s an awesome warrior, doing what he can to stop his enemies, but don’t make a mistake to think he does this for the greater good, no, he does it because fighting is what he's good at, and combating demons is a long trained practiced in his mind. Just that. And maybe some long-sustained-rage for the beatings he took. Male Human barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 9 - CG medium humanoid (human)
