[Jiggy]

Finally, to start things off, my own character.

• Name: Crispin O'Claire
  
• Age: 18
  
• Appearance: (Image Link) Light-brown hair and brown eyes.
  
• Alignment: Neutral Good
  
• Personality: A polite young lad, though he's a little naive. Very loyal to those who've earned his trust, and will do anything to help his friends. Though, however earnest he may be, he is also quite meek. He dislikes conflict, and is rather docile even when confronted, but he displays more strength of will when others are in danger.
  
• Hometown: Einbroch
  
• History:

  Having been raised by a rich merchant family in Einbroch, Crispin was, from a young age, witness to many atrocities kept carefully hidden from public view, behind the innovative factories and their smog. The pollution was everyone's prime concern, but nobody did anything about it. It was all a farce. Crispin's own father was privy to secret dealings in Einbroch's underground, and Crispin was to follow in his footsteps. Crispin's mother, however, was a kind soul, determined to protect him from that dirty, polluted world, and so she ran with him from the city, all the way to Al De Baran. Crispin was dumbstruck. Never in his life had he seen such a clear sky and clean water. Crispin and his mother managed to live in that magnificent city, evading his father's grasp for just over a year before they were finally located and captured. Crispin's mother nearly died from the beatings that she received, but his father had preemptively concocted a story about how the two of them were kidnapped by a local bandit group to escape prosecution. Crispin had nearly given up hope, but his mother was still sure that he could live a full life, without the poisonous influence of his father. Secretly, she had contacted the Prontera Chivalry with the help of her personal aide, who had assisted in their original escape. In answer to her pleas for help, a small party of Knights was sent to rescue her and Crispin. His father was less than pleased. He did everything he could to turn them away, but once he resorted to calling upon a band of mercenaries to dispose of them, the Knights quickly dispatched all hostile forces and apprehended Crispin's father. Crispin and his mother took over control of his father's company, but his mother passed away soon after. Her dying wish for him was the pursuit of happiness, to not be chained down by his father's muddy past. To fulfill his mother's wishes, Crispin dissolved the company, and is currently using what little savings were left over to prepare for a long journey.
