Ezra Windward
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Race: Human
Nationality: Crescent Isles
Appearance: This young man stands about 5’10” and has an athletic build. His mid-length, light brown hair is brushed in a part from left to right, but sits messily atop his head. The bridge of his nose is lightly dotted with freckles, and sits between a pair of light brown eyes. His face is clean shaven, and unremarkable. He wears a set of plain-looking, yet well maintained steel armor. A cuirass that has been polished to a shine is worn atop a set of chainmail. The sleeves of the chainmail extend out from underneath a set of equally polished pauldrons down to about his wrist. The sleeves of the chainmail are affixed to his wrists by cloth wrappings, and beneath the chainmail a simple white tunic can barely be seen. Affixed to his waist is a set of faulds and atop that is a simple leather belt. To his left side hangs a scabbard holding a plain longsword and a smaller sheath which holds a dagger. Steel greaves that break at the knee to give him added flexibility are worn on his legs and extend down to a pair of well maintained brown leather boots. Beneath the greaves are a pair of brown, cloth pants. On his back he wears a leather backpack this still has the new leather smell as if it was very recently purchased. Its form is square due to not being broken in quite yet.
Personality: Ezra is young and hopeful; and acts as such. He often thinks with his heart and not his head, which can lead to interesting and dangerous predicaments. Although his intentions are good, Ezra has a tendency to butt in where he may not belong. His sense of right and justice guide him. Naive to the true evils of the world, Ezra can be a little too trusting and a little too easy to persuade. His goal is to become a great Knight and he continuously works toward that end. Ezra has had an easy life up until now and that’s largely due to his overprotective mother, who he adores.
History: Born as an only child to a loving pair of human parents, Ezra had a pleasant childhood. His father was a semi-wealthy tradesman, which allowed his mother to stay home and care for him at their home in Starlight City in the Crescent Isles. Ezra largely looked up to his father until one fateful day he and his family were visiting Sol City. While walking from one location to another, a young, eight-year-old Ezra witnessed a meek trader being bullied by a group of ruffians. A knight, clad in shining armor; shield glistening in the bright sun, fiery red hair neatly woven into a long braid down her back. She told- no, she commanded the ruffians to stop, and when they hesitated, she slowly reached across her body to the jeweled hilt of her sword and pulled it from it’s gilded scabbard only enough for the blinding shine of freshly polished steel to catch his eye. The ruffians scattered like cockroaches into the allies of the city. This Knight was able to offer protection simply by being present. That, Ezra thought to himself that day, is what a true hero is. That’s what he wanted to be.
Being the supportive parents that they were, Mr. and Mrs. Windward worked to get Ezra training in the basics of swords and armor so that he might begin his adventure toward Knighthood.
