Submitting Darius Hammerhand for consideration. Small note, I was working on the basic weapons armor and items that he needed, I still have a chunk of gold on him, as I have not yet figured out everything that I want to have for him. I can update that after I get a little sleep, but I wanted to go ahead and post the character so that you have a chance to see him.
When Darius was barely a month old, he was left with his aunt and uncle while his parents went away on some secret mission into the Worldwound. To this day, they have never been heard from and presumed dead. His aunt and uncle chose to take him in as their own son. His parent's last wish was that Darius be trained in their art as Riftwardens, and left him an inheritance to be able to afford the training to do so.
Tragedy again hit, when on the day he completed his apprenticeship, his aunt came to visit him, telling Darius that his uncle had fallen in defense of the family to a demon raid. This weighed on him heavily, and spent several days in contemplation, and thought. After his time away, and in thought, Darius chose to walk away from his training as a Riftwarden, and came home to take up the mantle as the family's First Defender.
Much of his life since that time has been learning to work the forge, support the family, training in weapons and armor and combat. His affinity for magic did not stop with his Riftwarden heritage however, and quickly his mind for magic took to the teachings of Torag. His uncle had 2 possessions that he left to his nephew, one was a copy of Hammer and Tongs and an iron wrought holy symbol of Torag.
Up until recently, many followers of Torag were skeptical of Darius, due to his arcane training. However, in the last several years, he completed his first piece for his attempt at acceptance, A warhammer of master's quality, made by a process of fire forging steel that he discovered reading his uncle's book. He is very attached to the hammer, bonding with it, and often treats it as the gift of knowledge from his uncle.
With the recent events that have been happening in Kenebras, Darius has taken up arms, and has been working to try and keep the citizens safe where he can. He also has begun to feel a calling from his riftwarden training, and seeks to better himself both as his family's First Defender, but also as a Rift Warden.

When he is not working in a forge or similar area, Darius does his best to keep his appearance clean, though his callouses and minor scars and such tend to mar his features. He wears a chain shirt of mithral links, and carries a light shield also made of the silvery metal, and hefts a warhammer made from fire forged steel that he has a very close attachment to.
Hey all, just letting you know that the recruitment is closed and I am looking over the submissions one last time. I will let you know tomorrow who it is that I select. I must say that this is tougher than last time.
Alright; I've been working so how long would you say you are looking at the characters.. I have to put my notes together and submit the rest up.
Hey everyone, thanks for the submission but I can only take 1 replacement at this time. With a really hard choice aided by the current players Reiko Mura is the replacement. Good luck all of you in entering other games.
Congrats Reiko - good luck all fighting the demon hordes. I hope to join you all soon (although probably in another DM's campaign).
Have fun and kick demon butt for me!
