Personality: He's always ready to prove himself and usually focuses on the task at hand. He has low self esteem and always feels like he could have done better, though he revels in the tiny things like the perfect block or parry or roll. He walks with pride and tries to keep up appearances. He's respectful to civilians, but thinks the slaves are disgusting when they first meet. However, if he's stuck with them for a bit, they tend to grow on him. Daijon's first instinct is to push people away, but he'd save them from danger in a heartbeat. As for the higher ups, he's a lot more friendly to them. He wouldn't lie unless his life depended upon it. Though he usually keeps a serious mask, he actually loves to laugh and would exchange jokes with someone for hours if given the opportunity. His stomach is a bottomless pit.
Role: Soldier/knight in training
Kingdom: Darsonian Empire
Strength: He is skilled with a sword and shield. He's not smarter than average, but don't underestimate him.
Weakness(1+ physical, 1+ mental): His skills with a bow are horrid. He can't keep fighting forever and will eventually wear down. He isn't such a great fighter without his shield. Give him two swords and he'll likely end up cutting himself. He can't refuse to help someone, even if he despises them, as long as they're allies. He's too desperate to prove himself, and, as a result of it, he often doesn't believe it when he's been accepted by those around him and doesn't realize when he's being used. He lives in his grandfather's shadow and his father's shame.
Fears(2+): Failure, excessive fame, madness, marriage
Weapon(s): A sword and shield
Backstory: Daijon's father was a cowardly ranger who sold out his group the second he was captured while his grandfather was a hero. He strives to be courageous and is afraid he'll never restore his family's name to its former glory. He tries to prove he's not like his father in everything he does. However, that can be used against him. In his quest to prove himself, he can end up being used. He has a tendency to bite off more than he can chew, which can end up in him needing to be rescued.
He's afraid of marriage because he doesn't want to die in battle and leave his soulmate to raise a child alone like his father did.
