Name: Friedrich Reinhard
Class: Cavalier (Male)
Hair: Black
Eyes: Dark Brown
Age: 26
Friedrich is a commanding and talented man raised in the upper classes of nobility with all the amenities and expectations of prominent wealthy people. He stands at 5'10'' and has a build average of anyone expected to be in a good suit of armor and wield a weapon for extended periods of time. He has short black hair and a rather stylish mustache to match. He wears somewhat plainer looking armor to hide his status and identity as a noble. The scar through his left eye is from a mishap suffered during a training session with a sword. Many say his instructor was pushing him a little hard that day, but the truth is somewhere along the lines of Friedrich trading caution for trying out a stylish looking flourish during an attack. Skilled on horseback and with a sword as was expected of him, Friedrich is also considerably deft with a lance by his own right but has much to improve. He is very well educated, something he is almost too proud of along with his combat skills, and whatever one can have a taste for, he has a taste for the finer of. Knowing he could become something more than just a pampered and soft noble, Friedrich always has sought some sort of challenge in his life and often grew bored inside his upbringing despite still somewhat trying to make his upper class lifestyle fit into the equation. Thus, Friedrich is certainly driven to action and to help others, but mostly just for his own desire to earn a sort of glorious reputation and make his mark on history. A hero, if you will.
His parents barely qualify as good ones. They were rather detached with the idea of properly raising a child and were more inclined to believe that tossing expensive things at him and easy living qualified as love. They become even more estranged with their son as he grew to be a teenager and decided to dedicate much more effort into training on horseback and in the art of sword and his studies. Some thought he was merely dedicated to making his parents proud, others thought he may have had a screw loose and saw his withdrawal from his family as anti-social and something to worry greatly about - they were both rather wrong. Friedrich was simply growing much closer to his riding master and combat mentor, Erich, and his tutor and family educator, Viktoria. These two were far greater father and mother figures to him throughout his developing years than his real set ever could.
Friedrich is a staunch monarchist citing that Etruria was as successful and prosperous a land as it was simply by the good leadership and character of the King and is forever loyal to him and his family. The bloody purge of loyalists by the new self-proclaimed Prophet and the brutality shown towards the population under the new regime was the last straw for Friedrich. After fleeing the country to Lycia, Friedrich was desperate to feel useful even if perhaps only for his selfish quest of self-fulfillment. With his skills in both mind and body, he's motivated not only by his hero complex, but by revenge for the crimes committed against the monarchy he so loves. After four years in hiding, the time is come for the would-be hero to help liberate his home and restore the glory of Etruria as it was before.....with as much of the effort credited to himself as possible.
