About Daniel Cedric Espoir

Daniel Espoir never knew his true parents. He was found as a babe by a farmer on the edge of the woods, but the child was not crying nor was he malnourished or feeble. In fact, he was quite full of life, and energy, almost emitting a golden glow. The farmer took the child in as a son. Daniel lived a happy life as a farmer’s son, learning the till and the trade, a good life, a humble life. But not all was to remain, for soon after his ninth birthday the small village was attacked by foul demons sent by a lich. The child watched on as his father, mother and brothers were slain trying to defend him and his sisters from the beasts. When the beasts turned there foul heads towards the young boy he did not flee, he did not cry, he stood tall in the face of death for not fear ruled his heart, but anger, a burning fury. His adoptive father would have been proud. Alas naught but a child there was little he could do, and surely he was doomed but, at the last moment a trumpet sounded and several knights in gleaming armor charged into the battle, their glimmering armor shining bright through the smoke, fire, and darkness never seemed to become fouled with the blood of the demons. Before the demon could strike the killing blow a sparkling sword as bright as sunlight burst through it from behind and it dissipated back into the depths of hell from which it had come. And there, as the light faded, standing over the boy was not a knight in golden armor, but a man, one that seemed more a wizard, or scholar. The boy could only wonder at how powerful this man must be, but with the threat seemingly gone, and all his strength drained the boy fainted before he had a chance to approach the man. but was looked upon with seeing eyes. Now, the call has sounded, trumpets blare, it is time for him to rise to the challenge, or fall. One night years later, He finally met his father, an angel, shining bright as a sun came to him in his dreams. He told him of a greatness awaiting him, and told him he was deeply sorry he had never shown himself to this point. He told him how proud he was and that from now on he could and would watch over him. Daniel now talks with his father sometimes, usually while he sleeps, sometimes while he is awake. His father guides him in the few times he finds trouble or his way becomes unclear.

code-
Where there is darkness darker than night, I shall bring a shining light.
Where despair, suffering, and oppression run rampant, I shall bring a mighty hope.
When demons and undead run amok, I shall bring them to heel.
When Evil threatens the world, I shall stand against the tide.
When all hope is gone and evil has won, I shall still stand strong.
Where tyranny reigns free and tyrants oppress the people, I shall bring freedom.
Where sin and evil run rampant, I shall bring redemption.
Where disease, death, and strife are present, I shall bring relief.
Never Shall I yield, never shall I waver, and never shall I falter.
I am the sword of justice, the hammer of the righteous, the shield of the people.
I am a warrior of the holy light, and evil shall fear my name.
It cannot run, it cannot hide, and it shall not best me.
This is my oath, my vow, my life, be I live by it, or die by it.
I, am a Paladin.

personality- charming and out-going, Daniel loves a good laugh, and will more often than not be the one attempting to lighten a situation, he makes friends quickly, and believes in the good nature of men. He does not give things to the poor freely, but will gladly aid in teaching them how to better themselves, or in helping them build a home or something of the sort. If there was one person left, in a building on fire full of demons, Daniel would be in that building, giving his all to save that man.
