Name: Shard
Class: Cavalier
Age: 22
Born in: Ilia
Appearance: Blonde hair and green eyes, white skin.
Personality: Sarcastic and glib, always ready with a quip or a putdown with the first target usually being himself. Suspicious of magic due to a childhood bully burning him with a stolen Fire tome. Fascinated by gemstones, horrified by insects. Dreams of being as famous as his sister.
Story: Growing up in Ilia as the son of a Pegasus Knight and a Great Knight, Shard was expected to become an Ilian mercenary from the moment of his birth. As a teen, he studied with sword and lance, and was trained in tactics and combat by his older sister, Sharon, a successful Pegasus Knight. Usually living in his older, more accomplished sister's shadow, Shard determined for himself to equal her as a legend on the battlefield. Shard has a love of gemstones, and possesses a knack for identifying even small fragments of them. He often gives allies and friends nicknames based on what sort of mineral their personality reminds him of. While he appears to be dismissive of his sister's accomplishments, he's quite in awe of her, and wants nothing more than to one day be her equal. Before he set out, Shard's father gave him a parting gift. His father's war-horse, Vengeance, had sired an equally valorous steed, a ruddy destrier who Shard named Jasper, after the stone that the horse's mane resembled. His mother helped gift him a small amount of gold for weapons and armor of his own. Emerging into a world that thrives on conflict, Shard is confident that he will be the greatest mercenary on the continent in no time!
