Background:
oland Garess hails from Brevoy, a nobleman's son, whose mother died when he was 6 from the Red Fever. Since then, he has trained his body, mind, and soul to its utmost peak. He has also received classical training as a noble, in horse riding, climbing, swimming, survival, nobility customs, etc. It has been his dream to follow in his father's footsteps and become an Aldori Swordlord and he has perfected his craft to the utmost of his ability, honing his strength, agility, and endurance to outlast and frighten his enemies. When he was 18, an evil crimson knight challenged his father to a duel and killed him in front of Roland's eyes. Roland swore vengeance on the knight, who he has been looking for ever since. Roland travels the world to improve his combat skill and seek the Red Knight. Along the way, he spent most of his fortune amplifying his natural abilities through herbalists and alchemist. It worked as he learned to concoct a mutagen that can improve his abilities (hence why he is a mutation warrior). Along the way, he fell in love with his childhood friend Joy (literally that is her name), a peasant woman from Varnhold, whom he was willing to leave his station for. She has been his rock as she helped him cope with his father's death. Now he returns to Varnhold as he has not heard from her in the last month nor has she responded to his letters. He is worried and is going there personally to ensure her safety.
Knowledge Local tidbits:
Local 10: Roland is a member of House Garess, a noble house founded on both the defensibility of the mountain terrain and the mineral wealth the house has brought out of the peaks for generations. Rumors say he resorted to adventuring as he pissed away his inheritance.
Local 15: Roland’s father, a practitioner of the Aldori sword style, was murdered by the Red Knight in a duel when Roland was 16 years old. He has spent most of his inheritance training in his father’s style for the past 9 years – he is said to be a once in a lifetime prodigy – perfect mix of muscle, agility, vigor, combat sense, and looks. He obviously seeks vengeance on the golem-like Knight.
Local 20: In combat, Roland is said to have quick reflexes and speed, often launching devastating strikes, and his style emphasizes instilling fear in his enemies. He recently wiped out a homestead of ogres who were terrorizing the countryside.
Local 25: He despises the Swordlords for not avenging his father’s death and he loves humiliating them in combat.
