Backstory

Alen was raised by his father and mother Garron and Mirelle in a small village. His father, Garron, was the village's local blacksmith, and his mother, Mirelle worked as a seamstress who specialized in weaving and selling clothes. During his childhood, Alen would gradually begin to pick up skills in his parents' respective fields.

One day war came knocking and Alen's village was burned to cinders in a siege, both his parents losing their lives. Alen set out by himself before joining a band of mercenaries known as The Ashen Blades. However, after throwing himself in front of a spear to save a civilian Alen suffered a near-fatal wound. Viewing him as an emotional liability, Alen was kicked out and he began journeying across the world by himself, saving and helping the common folk in whatever manner he could.

Alen eventually stumbled upon a village at threat of raiders known as Hallowmore. Alen guided the village and defended it, fending off the raiders, and for it, he was knighted by the village's elderman and was gifted his family heirloom sword as a reward.

Details

Alen is a young, handsome man at the age of 25. He stands quite tall at 184cm or 6' 0" with a slender yet also lean build. He has short, wavy, light brown hair and a pair of pale, vibrant, icy blue eyes. Alen has various smaller scars scattered across his body and one large, nasty scar above his hip, which he got after throwing himself in front of a spear to save a civilian.

Alen was never officially knighted by a king or queen and was instead granted his title by a small countryside village. Despite never actually being knighted, Alen wears his title with pride and instead of viewing it as a symbol of honor, he views it as a symbol of hope and protection of the common folk.

Since Alen doesn't serve a crown and travels all over the world, helping people no matter their origin, he has earned a reputation as "The Knight of No Crown" and also "The Hart of The Blade" due to his gentle nature but fearsome swordsmanship.
