Race: Human
Name: Martland Smyth
Age: 32
Gender: Male
********
Hometown: Lorana
Faction: Lorani Contingent
Job: Lord
********
Appearance
Personality: Martland's personality is best summed up by calling him a "smarmy, smart-mouthed, sarcastic, playboy git.". Despite his attitude, he is a fairly respected man, and a worthy ruler and fighter. He has successfully defended his father's keep from attack on many occasions, along with his sister. He has been known to be a little irresponsible, however, acting somewhat immature: he frequently ends up in bed with strangers late at night, drunk almost beyond consciousness. His reign has been questioned many a time.
********
Skills: Swordplay, tactics, warfare and drinking! Like any good man of power, no?
Equipment: Hand-and-a-half sword, Round-Shield, Smyth Family Dagger, Attire
Magic: None.
Abilities: A well rounded fighter, especially in swordsplay. He is a good tactician too, and leads his troops, though low in numbers, well in battle, usually victorious.
********
Back Story: Martland was born to his father and mother, King Hjalmar Smyth and Queen Lorana Smyth was Ai'ra, in DATEHERE, a result of a passionate wedding night nine months earlier. Growing up in the keep, Martland got the best education available to him, serious studies starting at age four. A few months later, a battle between the Smyth Edict and an unknown crimson dragon commenced. This battle is not included in all records of history, as it is taken seriously by only a few other than those who fought that battle. The dragon fled after a skirmish that seemed to roll on for days.
The First Battle of Lorana, the city named after King Smyth's wife, did not come without its losses, however. Lady Ai'ra was nowhere to be seen by the time the battle was over, and the district she was last sighted in was torched to blackened splinters and cracked stone. King Smyth, distraught, renamed his small kingdom after his wife, retreating from to his quarters, where he rarely spoke to anyone but Martland and his week-old daughter, Lyla.
When Martland reached manhood, a Lord of the kingdom, he took over most of his father's duties, for he fell apart due to his loss. Despite many attempts, Martland nor Lady Lyla could bring him back. He gave up speaking and only opened his door to receive food and drink, with the occasional book or message. This enraged the people of his kingdom, especially his children. This earned the tower the nickname Cowardice Castle, much to the dismay of Martland and Lyla.
In DATEHERE, the Second Battle of Lorana was waged, with the very same dragon, albeit stronger, and with an army of raised souls. The Lorani Contingent's excellent soldiers held their keep against the army of the dead with few losses, but began dropping like flies when the crimson dragon opened up, torching almost all of the troops lining the walls. It was a pure shock to all when King Smyth appeared and forced the dragon away with a decade-and-a-half of saved up magic. The dragon fled once more, its motive still unknown, leaving the King in a state of eternal slumber.
Lord and Lady Smyth, children of the King, took over the kingdom in his place and, despite the incestuous jokes, managed to rule well, taking over the entirety of the Mercer Strait. They trained their armies for much longer than those of the Imperials', for they had no real enemy, so no need to rush their troops. Each and every warrior was strong and loyal, none of which you would like to anger in a tavern.
At the age of 28, Lord Smyth set out alone into the kingdom, as a sort of personal pilgrimage. He wished to spend some time away from the "fame", for his father's abandonment had robbed him of a youth. He keeps his identity a secret, for not many people know his face, and makes his money through mercenary work/helping out those in the Empire that need jobs doing that don't exactly follow the law. He goes under the name Linton Valarius.
Goals/Aspirations: He would like to leave his family's keep to explore the realm, taking of it for himself if possible. He strives to lead a kingdom of strong-willed fighters, with a close-knit, loyal community.
