Rowan Drake

Personality: Quick to forgive, slow to trust, obedient, romantic. Rowan doesn't form bonds easily, but once he does, they are nearly unbreakable.

He does not believe anyone in authority means harm to those around them. Rowan falls in and out of love easily, having already gone through several "true loves" and heart aches at his tender age.

Description: Bald (black hair), blue eyes, brown skin. Rowan has a square, pretty face, an average build, and a less than intimidating height. He is considered to be "nice" looking for his age. Rowan likes to dress in loose fitting clothes that let him move easily, and a few things with flare. His favourite article of clothing is a high-collared vest with intricate embroidery down the sides.

Biography:

Rowen grew up in a military home. His mother died in childbirth with his younger sister, leaving the two of them alone with their father, the soldier.

Their father was not a bad man, but he had very strict views on how a household was supposed to be run. From the time Rowan could walk, he was expected to keep the house clean and orderly according to his father's exacting standards. Failing that, he would be subjected to strenuous punishments the likes of which aren't seen outside of military life.

Rowan was also expected to follow in his father's footsteps when he grew up. He began training with his father every day in the ways of defense, offense, and physical prowess. When his sister came of age, she joined them. Their father did not distinguish a difference between boys and girls.

Despite his militant upbringing, Rowan loved his family very much. As harsh as his father could be, he was equal parts loving. He did not play with the children or go easy on them, but he showed his love in his fierce protectiveness and pride. This was a trait that Rowan picked up on quickly, learning that love could only be expressed through actions rather than words.

When Rowan came into his teens, his father picked up the family and moved them to the Warren. There, he joined the local rank and file army, while Rowan and his sister were encouraged to pick up jobs around New Warren.

Rowan became an apprentice in the smithy and quickly rose through the ranks due to his diligent adherence to orders. This also earned him some enemies as he was seen as a bit of a brown noser.

His sister, on the other hand, took up a job in the library. There she helped reshelf and catalogue books. There she also came across a tome she was not supposed to have access to.

The book was cursed, and the moment Rowan's sister touched it, she became possessed by a malevolent spirit. She carried on the rest of her day without anyone the wiser, but as soon as she got home that evening, she attempted to kill Rowan and their father.

Her attack was quick and vicious, and while Rowan survived, their father did not. His possessed sister immediately took the opportunity to escape the Warren and flee beyond its forest walls.

The next day, Rowan was at the center of a maelstrom of medics, security guards, and magical investigators. The offending tome was uncovered and destroyed, but the harm had already been done. Short of tracking her down and exorcising her, there was no hope of saving Rowan's sister.

Dragon riders were involved in the investigation following the murder, as they tended to be involved in all important events in the Warren. During the chaos, one of the dragons bonded to the riders took a shining to Rowan. He was searched, and was immediately wary. Yet after a bit of back and forth, Rowan determined that becoming a dragon rider might be his best bet of finding his sister again. Now he is determined that nothing will stand in his way.
