Personality
- Generally kind and friendly, Gurit has been able to make friends wherever he goes from all walks of life. He can be quite the prankster with friends, though he is consistently worried about going too far with a joke. Gurit constantly debates with himself where he should draw a line ethically, whether murder is truly justified when he has to come to a decision. While it's seen as an admirable trait by some, he is upset with his inability to determine right from wrong sometimes. He tries to keep friends who are on the right side of the law so he can figure out what they see as ethical, but more often than not, Gurit finds a way to make friends with even some of the lowest of thieves. The boy attempts to see the good in everyone, and unfortunately this often succeeds. It is almost far too easy to make Gurit cry, be it for tears of joy or sorrow. He can be quite gullible, always wanting to see the best in everyone.
Powers and Abilities
- ✺ Werewolf blood: Werewolf blood runs through Gurit's veins, though not enough to show physical traits. He has enhanced senses, reflexes, and speed due to this.
✺ Werewolf transformation: Gurit cannot turn into a full werewolf. When under immense stress, Gurit's ears will become wolf-like, and he will sprout a tail, fangs, and claws. He cannot control himself very well, only recently learning how to control the direction which his animistic fury will go.
✺ Magical Combat: The skill most soldiers from Lyonvale have practiced is the ability to perfect both physical and magical skills to be combined into unique attacks. Still young and generally in practice, Gurit focuses on elemental magic combined with dagger fighting.
✺ Fishing: Growing up with family from a port town and with an adopted father who sells fish for pocket change, you pick up a skill or two.
Items
- ✺ Two finely crafted daggers
✺ Fishing rod
✺ Leather armor
The History
- The land of Lyonvale is a coastal kingdom known for its ports, fishing, and racial tension. The land itself once belonged to a clan of blood dragons (dragons who were considered the first true race to practice blood magic and transmutation). James Lyonhart was a general who was given the task of clearing the land for conquest in the name of a king whose ancient kingdom has long lost its claims for land. James and his men were all mages as well as combat soldiers, giving them a unique advantage against the generally peaceful dragon clan that was small in numbers as is. Only one survived, a child from the clan who had been given the human name Mathilde. Claiming victory, James was given the land under the title of lordship, being called by his men and the people as the Heart of Lyonvale--named after himself. As the centuries dragged on, his family remained in power, the Heart of Lyonvale being reborn as the first son of every generation. Eventually, Lyonvale claimed independence from the ancient kingdom who once ruled the realm, thus making Lord Sivone Lyonhart the first true king of Lyonvale. No matter how much time had passed, however, the kingdom consistently faced the fury of Mathilde. She stopped at nothing to terrorize the kingdom, even going to far as to slowly call the aide from various neighboring tribes to assist in her revenge.
The fate of Lyonhart changed the day Markus was born. The first king of Lyonvale to not be fully human, Markus was considered the mark of a change in the political climate of the kingdom. His mother was an eclectic clan leader from a neighboring land, marrying into the Lyonhart family in hopes of decreasing racial tension caused by the bias created over the years with non-humans siding more with Mathilde than Lyonvale. She doted on her son, the new Heart of Lyonvale, and he doted on her in return. When he was five, however, his mother would meet an untimely demise at the hands of Mathilde. The boy took on the combination of magical combat shortly after, growing up with a small tight-knit group of noble children whose family died in the same tragic incident caused by Mathilde. Markus paid little attention when his father married a werewolf clan leader for political alliances, but he was excited by the announcement that they were expecting a child.
When Darrell was born, Markus devoted his life to protecting the kingdom his brother would be raised in. Though he was only 7, he grew up fast and learned quickly how the world works. By the time he was 18, he was ready to take control of power. The king at the time--Markus' and Darrell's father, had fallen ill a time before, holding on until Markus could finally come of age to be crowned king. Once he was, his noble comrades growing up were promoted to high ranking general positions (much to the dismay of older generals). Darrell, in the meantime, was given his own army, mostly consisting of people from his mother's tribe and those who have married into the tribe. For the next ten years, Markus rebuilt his army to return to its former glory of dragon slaying days by training his entire army to practice magical combat. With the push of his male friends and brother, he eventually confessed his love to his childhood friend and top general Varaeh Hoopas. She became his queen, and together they had two children in a time of almost suspicious peace.
Suspicions were confirmed when an unexpected attack occurred. In an unforeseen betrayal, Darrell had murdered Markus' eldest child--his son who had been declared as the new Heart of Lyonvale--before declaring his love and allegiance of Mathilde and disappearing along with his army. Struck by grief, the entire kingdom pursued in a full-blown war against Mathilde and its once beloved prince. For over fifteen years, each side laid siege onto each other, causing so much death that new cemeteries had to be built. As the war came to a close end with Darrell and Mathilde finally cornered, Mathilde gave her own life to protect the one person she still cared for--Darrell. In a frenzy of anguish, Darrell brutally tortured and forced himself onto the captured Varaeh. Realizing what he had done and knowing there was no way anything tat had happened could be forgiven, Darrell turned himself in to Markus. Knowing fully well all of Darrell's sins and treason, after all the year of anguish, Markus still could not bring himself to kill his brother. Instead, Darrell was exiled into a vow of silence, forced to wear the brand of a traitor for as long as he shall live.
The kingdom eventually united in what felt like an exhausting victory. The repercussions of war weighed heavily on Markus and Varaeh, who ended up bearing Darrell's child. Once his surviving daughter became 18, he announced that she will be the new Heart of Lyonvale--the first female to ever gain the title. Once her coronation was over, Markus disappeared from his kingdom, taking Varaeh and Darrell's child with him far from the coast in search of a more peaceful way to live out their days. They eventually stumbled onto Maldria, where Markus purchased land and a home to live in some form of peace. Unfortunately, the peace was not enough for Varaeh, who took her own life three years after moving to Maldria. Markus was left alone to care for Darrell's son, who had been named Gurit so Markus and Varaeh could remind themselves that he is the innocent one. Growing up, Gurit was unaware of the truth behind his birth. Markus raised him like one of his own, though the child was suspicious from his vibrant blue hair and his "father's" lack thereof. He grew up enjoying the quiet, comfortable outskirts of Maldria, unaware that Markus had been watching the child since birth to see any signs of a violent mindset similar to Darrell's.
Finally, something happened that startled them both. On his thirteenth birthday, the inner werewolf blood inside of him started to finally unleash itself onto the world. Unsure of what was happening to him or how to control himself, Gurit killed two local villagers before Markus was able to stop him. The gentle child suddenly became scared of his own existence, wondering how his father was a vampire and he was a werewolf. Despite the situation, Markus refused to tell Gurit the truth, instead chaining him up whenever the child showed signs of turning. The secrets were enough to cause a split between the two, and when Gurit was old enough to leave, he decided to go back home to Lyonvale where he felt the truth could come out.
Queen of Lyonvale Pansy Lyonhart welcomed her adopted brother with open arms, but the rest of the kingdom did not. His blue hair had been undeniably similar to his birth father's. Pansy made the difficult decision to allow a former general--one of Markus' friends growing up--to tell Gurit the truth behind his birth. Upon learning, everything became much clearer, and yet Gurit remained confused and hurt. He blamed himself for his mother's suicide, adopted father/uncle's depression, and Lyonvale's inability to get over its racial stigma. The next few years, Gurit searched far and wide for his exiled father Darrell. After almost a decade of searching, Darrell was found in a cave alone. Having taken a vow of silence and cutting out his own tongue, he was unable to speak to the child that addressed himself as his birth son. Originally seeking Darrell to murder him in vengeance for all that he had done, Gurit couldn't bring himself to do it. The exiled man appeared to pitiful and disgusting to be worth spilling blood over. With this, Gurit went back in the direction of Maldria, prepared to follow Markus' footsteps in pacifistic heroism.
