Edward Bodwine


Name: Edward Bodwine

Appearance:
Posted Image
His dark green hair flows down to the back of his neck and no more, his black eyes are said to be holding criticism as he looks at others, and his overall face is scratch less, all due to his sneaking around and being careful of course. His clothes are blue and black and consisting of normal pants, hiking boots, gloves, a muffler over his shirt, along with a white scarf for heavy storms, he is used to cold weather due to the mountains, but still wears these clothes in a protective fashion.

Class: Thief

Race: Human

Equipment and weapons:

Dagger: a curved blade used for stabbing and slowly killing targets, Edwards daggers have varied over the years during different fights, but he has always used one, no matter the occasion, which is why he dislikes swords and heavier weaponry and is best spoken in his words “It lacks speed, and only a buffoon would value power over speed” .

Crossbow: a small contraption to fire arrows, fairly new on the market, at least for him and however due to his Allioqiun birth place, he seems fascinated with the creation and uses it to set off traps or to take out prey and targets with it from afar.

Ruby of Desires: A curious item and nothing more to Edward, but it’s powers are special and even he, who holds it, does not know what it does, and the few mages he’s encountered have turned on him to try and take it away, I guess stealing doesn’t always when you grab something to important, and to valuable to the unknown eye.

Personality: Edward has two personas. The First, a happy go lucky thief, who is willing to do anything for money and enjoy it, whether it involves fighting or not, and is happy to even work alongside someone, so long as they don’t screw up any plans for the job. The Second, is more of a peaceful side, where he enjoys talking and making friends, learning any information he can of his location, and overall, he enjoys himself, that is till he gets a job.

Bio: Edward was born in a small town southwest of Aspetto, it was just a farming town, and fairly new to the world, and it was his and his parents home, they were the first couple in the town as a matter of fact, so his birth led to a great celebration of their farm town. Then as he aged, things became to look glum, the crops were dying since they were so close to the ocean and they suspected the air or the sea water was affecting it the most, and lots of the townsfolk decided to leave, however, Edward and his family stayed. While everyone else was in depression or denial, Edward was growing into a great young boy, at five he had already learned most farming techniques from his father and learned how to cook all kinds of things from his mother, he was a quick learner. Then at age eight, things turned into something, no one suspected, The army of one of the nobles in Allioqiun, not sure what city specifically they came from, came and took shelter in the farmlands of his home. However, they were not evil men, nor men of greed, they came for the sole purpose of hiding, since the noble had ordered them to hide him here, and they had agreed.

This of course led to many things, certain rules, such as a curfew at dusk and that children, specifically Edward, were not allowed to play outside, however there was still hope, the man that was staying in the Bodwines house was a kind and quiet man, who silently took Edward under his wing. His name was Cudbert and he taught Edward as much as he could teach a child in two years, he taught the boy swordsmanship, thought after a few months they decided his body was better suited for a knife or dagger of some sort. He trained him in defensive techniques, though the boy preferred to show off his nimbleness and dodge the attacks, he was unique in Cudberts eyes, he learned what he was taught, but the boy used it to his own advantage and developed fighting skills better suited for him. However the end of their training was abrupt after the two years that he had made the child into a skilled fighter, when the house shook above after they trained. They rushed upstairs to see the house blown away, leaving not even a piece of his mother and father left, then they saw it, archers, as many as you could imagine were there, shooting down the houses and the mercenaries that worked under the noble that had taken residence there.

Cudbert knew his chances were slim, but he decided against his own will to fight and do what he could, instead he took Edward and made a break for it, rushing as fast as he could, away from the arrows and towards the sea. It was the only way out, if he could not escape, he would rather let the child drowned then let him die a gruesome death, but things changed when he was shot by of the high ranking archers in the group. Although they had easily seen Cudbert and shot him down as he had entered the water, they had not seen the boy in his arms, and Cudbert forced the boy into the water, and told him to swim north, it was the only way out for the boy. Naturally, the boy took flight through the water, shedding tears into the ocean as he swam as fast as he could, hours passed, maybe even a full day, the sky was getting dark for the second time and he was tired, he has swam on endurance and agony for far to long. What he did not know was that he crossed the border into Gellieith territory and so began his real journey, he was picked up, unconscious, by a docking group full of merchants that harvested things from the sea.

He awoke to an auction, where he was the one being sold, to be used for whatever desires the buyer had, he saw them call out numbers of gold and people responded calling out more and commenting on his look and how they’ve always wanted a little boy traveling with them. It made him feel as though he should run, and he did try, he flipped out the chains with his acrobatics, making the crowd ‘OOOOoooo” and “Woah!” at his performance. Obviously after his flip they raised his price but he had no intention of staying, with another flip, he got off the stage and took off through the crowd, only to feel pain on his neck and was pulled back. The crowd laughed and he noticed the chain and leather strap over his neck, it was so closed around his neck that he couldn’t speak and he watched in horror as women who gave him dirty looks and men with greedy fingers raised the price even more. He closed his eyes and then heard a beautiful voice, one of a woman, and she was the one he was sold too, he feared that she would hurt him, or use him for something he wished not to do, but instead, she was kind.

Her name was Athelyna and she was far more kind then he could have ever imagined, she took off his collar and chains, freeing him and gave him a journal and a pen so that he could write down future events and so he did, the following passages are from his journal.
