From early on, he knew the men in his family slowly lose their humanity, their minds and bodies giving in to darkness and monstrous change. This fate isolated him, filling his childhood with fear and loneliness. His proud but distant parents raised him with stern discipline, urging him to uphold the family’s honor while hiding the curse’s tragic cost. Many of his older relatives, once great warriors, fell one by one to the curse, leaving a legacy of both glory and despair. Refusing to accept the same fate, Vaelen dedicated himself to becoming a legendary hero. He trained relentlessly in swordsmanship, strategy, and endurance, hoping his deeds and willpower might delay or break the curse. Yet beneath his determined exterior, weariness grows from both the curse’s physical toll and emotional isolation. Sometimes monstrous rage or uncontrollable impulses threaten to betray who he wants to be. He fears losing himself completely and keeps others at a distance, worried they will suffer from his darkness. Vaelen’s life is a careful balance of duty, survival, honor, and self-preservation. He fights not only for his kingdom but for the hope he can rewrite the destiny written in his blood. Quirks: Often crosses arms or leans against walls, keeping physical distance.
