Post by Myron Norwood on Apr 14, 2023 1:06:09 GMT -5
Name: Myron Norwood
Face Claim: Taras Koltun
Age: 24
Birth Season: summer
Physical Description:
Myron has a sort of perpetually confused expression. He has a lithe frame of firm muscle. Despite a life of hard labor and training he hasn't a lot of bulk to show for it.
Like most of his family he is quite tall but his presence is far from imposing. The combination of his usually stiff posture and straightlaced tone doesn't come off as very threatening. If anything there is a level of natural innocence about his features.
Family:
Trenton Norwood (father alive)
A gaggle of brothers and sisters of various ages
Rank: Baron's son /commoner
Occupation:
Red Guard
Home:
Manthir
Combat Experience:
Myron grew up in a house with a long line of swords which have served the royal house. As soon as he could walk a sword was placed in his hand and he was taught how to defend a target.
He was taught a style which while not very flashy hammered the fundamentals into his body. Myron's sword style while not aggressive makes him a stalwart opponent and difficult to disarm or distract.
Education:
Myron has had a sort of basic education in writing in math but nothing special given his house's lower standing. Most of his educational time went into sword training, learning and horse care. He only learned the bare minimum of decrom needed to not embarrass whatever noble he might serv.
Magic:
Myron has the ability to tint his skin like any born manthir but he hasn't practiced it much and so rarely uses it aside from sometimes darkening the skin under his eyes to help with sun glare.
Personality:
Myron is a glass half full type of guy and also deeply attached to ideas of honesty and loyalty.
He is friendly enough but a bit shy from a life of being surrounded by men who either don't wish to make idle chatter or want to speak endlessly in profanities of things he doesn't understand.
He has a secret preference for men but in his naive heart he usually misinterprets this feeling as respect or admiration.
Like many soldiers he also isn't very good at communicating his feelings
History:
The house of Norwood are a simple folk that received a small bit of land through their deep loyalty and service to the royal house. They have a small piece of land which is mostly thick forest. Unlike many of the houses of manthir their house emblem rather than being a predator is a tree.
His family are not exactly wealthy but their number is high. Myron has enough siblings and cousins to have felt lost in the shuffle most of his life. A not so excellent prospect considering he doesn't stand to inherit much if at all. He's only nobility on a technicality and like a few of his siblings he has grown up knowing he will need to pull his weight if he wants to eat.
He trained to serve as a red guard like his brothers and his father. Unlike some of his brother's he has always taken the role very seriously. He joined the red guard very young and has spent near half his life living in soldiers barracks. Generally he keeps his head down and his nose to the grind stone. Despite having spent so much time in thw red guard he would say that the number of real friends he has is few as his straight laced nature keeps him from making friends with the gambling types and his youth makes it hard to relate to the stricter old sword types in the guard. He often feels he has more friends among the royal stables than in the barracks.
with the rising tensions there is an extra weight on his shoulders.
