Chracters Backstories
Xavier "“Ironbound”
Before he was a part of The Order of the Broken Crown Xavier was a child about 24 years old at the time, when he lived in a kingdom named Dravenholt. He was best friends with a girl named Aveline who was 23, with black barided hair and silver eyes. The kingdom they lived in was placed in the mountains, where there is always snow. They trained to be the next line of soilders to protect the kingdom, they train aginst each other where Aveline won almost every duel. Everything was peacful as the kingdom was strong until one day. In the middle of the night, the raid bell started to ring and the kingdom was under attack. When Xavier came out of his room he saw both his parents dead in front of men wearing the Dravenholt gaurd's uniforms. He didn't know whether he should fight or flee his kingdom's own soilders even though they were killing the towns people. In response to seeing his dead parents and he ran back to his room to sneak out through his window avoiding the gaurds that invaded his home. He remember the hidden cave that him and Aveline go to, to escape and watch the stars and bolted there in hopes of seeing her. As he dashed through the burning kingdom and rushing down the path to the cave, he saw blood trails in the snow, with a scared heart he rushed and followed them to find Aveline laying in a pool of blood, with a Dravenholt gaurd standing wounded from Aveline's last breath. With a rush of adrenaline he pulled out his dagger and rushed at the wounded gaurd jumping on top of him and stabbing him repeatedly until his eyes turned lifeless. He looked back at his dead friend and wept. After he came to his senses he picked Aveline's body and carried her to the hidden cave burying right outside. When he was done he heard footsteps approach and when he turned around he was met with a hooded figure who said "I saw what you did to that gaurd, you are strong and I would like to ask for your help. Kingdom's always fall because of tyrants and I am part of an orginization that stops that. If you join us, you could help save many of lives from following the same fate as your friend here." Xavier was hesitant but he had no one else to turn to. His kingdom fell, his parents dead, and his best friend gone. He agreed but only if he was able to lead his own group of assassins.
Meave
Meave's parents lived in a small town, filled with one of the most powerful druids known in the area. When Meave was born, the town grew dark and the highest druid felt it and told Meave's parents that they have birthed the doorway for death. They didn't believe it, and before the town's people were able to make a decision on what to do, her parents fled the town with Meave. They came across a lonley cabin in the woods, almost as if it was fate. They raised Meave as a child and teached her medicine to fight death and shapeshift to help switch up her identity and confuse death. They lived like this for 20 years, but after a long time of living in one area for so long she was currious and started to venture out with her parents permission. After years of nothing happening they thought everything was ok and the town's people were crazy. Meave went from village to village, as she started to live her adult life as a half-elf. She met people, drank with people, and even helped people with her expertise with medicine. every day she would return home, telling her parents stories of the people she's met and the lives she's saved. But everytime she came home more and more crows started to appear on top of her cabin's roof. on the 6th day, she came back to a view of crows swarming the home. She ran trying help her parents but as she reach out her hand the crow's descended onto the house, destorying it and the people inside. She felt the power as soon as they crashed and she soon relized that she was a part of death himself. She's saved so many people from death in the village that she relized the price she must pay. A life for a life. To repay her debt to death she had to start sacrificing people but she did it with sympathy. She tried finding people who were on the brink of death and sacrifed them to end their suffering but also pay her debts. As she travled, it was almost as death followed her. She passed village after village that were destoryed and looks for people who were left suffer in pain as they slowly passed. She showed the people that she could find mercy, easier than what she did to her parents. With just a touch she was able to extract thier souls, letting them peacfully pass on into the afterlife. This collection of souls and travel lasted for months. She knew how many more souls she had to collect after each one and today left her with her last. When she came across her last town she found no one suffering and was about to move on until he saw a man staring out to a rising sun with a dagger in hand, about to end his own life. She took the moment and and tried sending a swarm of crows to take this mans life as she has been wanting to start anew a soon as possible. Both the dagger he held and the crows she sent hit his body at the same time, confusing the magic Meave had sending it out of her body as it felt betrayed and sending itself to the new vessel of the dead man. It revived him and gave him new power but not the same as Meave's where there was a price. As he turned around and met eyes with Meave he asked "how am I alive". This man's name, was Corvin.
Crovin
A Theifling where in the universe of D&D are knowng for being wicked, cruel, and criminal individuals. Because of this, Theiflings usual live in "evil plains" but not Corvin. Corvin grew up in a reborn part of the Theifling race. He was raised in a small kingdom entirly of Theiflings were they learn to be more like humans and try not to indulge in their evil heritage. Of course as good as a life it was, it was ruined later in his life around when he was 18. A nearby kingdom that was newly built roamed the area to make new allies and keep thier numbers high and strength strong. This new kingdom saw the reborn kingdom of theiflings but still saw them as just theiflings and people not to be trusted. This kingdom tricked the Theifling kingdom into becoming allies and after a week or so, in the middle of the night they were attacked. Every single Theifling was slain and slaughtered by them and the only one remaining to be able to sneak away and tell the tale was Crovin. However Corvin didn't view it that way and didn't want to seek revenge at the time. He was completely and utterly defeated. He saw first hand how other races view theiflings and he could not live a life like that anymore. As he watched what he thought was his last sunrise he raised a dagger and plunged it into his heart. At the same time he felt another shape stab from behind. He blacked out for just a few second only to wake back up with only a hole in his shirt and a scar across his chest where is heart was. He felt reborn, with a crow landing on his shoulder and cawwing at him almost like he was saying "welcome back to the living". As Corvin turned around he saw a red haired woman standing at a distance looking in shock with her arm reached out. This woamn, was Meave.
Meave & Corvin
As the two of them awkwardly intruduced each other, they were soon interrupted by a hooded figure. "quite a site, seeing man being resurrected from the dead like that. and I guess this was thanks to this woman here. You should take this as a gift." the figure said. Corvin replied "Who might you be? another raider from that other kingdom". "Not at all son, quite the opposite actaully." he explained "I come from an orginization of, let's say corrupt kings. I saw what they did to your kingdom and wanted to ask if you would like to join us in taking them down. All kings become tyrants eventually and it's our job to keep them in check. I'm here to see if you two are willing to be recruited". Meave & Corvin exchanged glances of confusion even though they have just meet each other themselves. "what's the catch?" Meave asked looking towards the hooded man. "There is no catch. I can see it in your eyes that you have no path in life now. let me give you purpose to help rebuild this word." Meave showed no intrest but Corvin jumped in "Will there be a world where my kind could be looked at as good?" the hooded man replied "We can try our best to achieve that." Corin stood up with the crow still on his shoulder and said to Meave. "You are coming too." Meave looked in surprise "What makes you say that?!" she replied. "Because you gave me some kind of magic that I don't even know what to do with, but I feel like I got it from you so, you'll have to teach me." "I don't even understand that power anymore, it felt like it changed when I gave it to you." Corin said "I can't do this alone. I have no idea what to do." Meave thought for a second of what she might do next and cloud only think of a path of joining the orginization and helping Corvin with this new power "ugh fine, but don't blame me if I can't help you." and so, the two joined the orginization of The Order of the Broken Crown where they would soon meet thier new leader of the orginization, Xavier.
