Biography<\/b><\/div>\n

Early Life<\/b><\/p>\n

Romus Youngblood was born to a gypsy woman who was traveling from Cracius to Daltain.\u00a0 He was born within the borders of Raleigh<\/a>, and was considered Raleighn since birth.\u00a0 His father was never identified.<\/p>\n

His mother, Jessa Youngblood, refused to continue on with the other gypsies, deciding that she did not want her son to be raised a nomad.\u00a0 Jessa became a fortuneteller, the rest of the gypsies leaving her one covered wagon to serve as her home.\u00a0 She set up her home and business near the southeastern border Raleigh, just across from the country of Warus.\u00a0 The town she had situated herself nearby was called Greenwood.<\/p>\n

Jessa became accustomed to the town almost immediately, the folk welcoming her warmly.\u00a0 She began earning money to support Romus and herself.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Growing Up<\/b><\/p>\n

Romus went to school with other children from Greenwood, but always felt that he was different.\u00a0 He was often scolded for daydreaming, but it never deterred him from doing so.\u00a0 Eventually, he was dismissed from school altogether.\u00a0 His mother began schooling him from home whenever she was not working.<\/p>\n

At a very young age, Romus began apprenticing for various workers within Greenwood.\u00a0 He held many jobs, but, for much the same reason he was expelled from school, he was removed from his work.<\/p>\n

Finally, he was appointed to watch the border of Warus from one of the GreenwoodTowers.\u00a0 It was a job that no one else wanted, but it also allowed him to daydream without consequence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tragedy<\/b><\/p>\n

When Romus had just entered his teenage years, his mother was accosted by a visitor to Greenwood.\u00a0 He beat and raped her, on multiple occasions, until she felt she needed to leave the town to escape him.\u00a0 On the night she left Greenwood, he followed her, and killed her.<\/p>\n

She was on her way to gather up Romus from the watch tower when she was struck down.<\/p>\n

Romus saw his mother\u2019s approach, but when she never arrived he began to worry.\u00a0 He left the tower and approached her wagon, finding her dead inside.\u00a0 The man who killed her was still nearby, however.\u00a0 He attacked Romus, who was overpowered immediately.<\/p>\n

Had Romus stayed in the watch tower, he would have noticed a small contingent of gnolls crossing the Raleigh-Warus border.\u00a0 Instead, beaten to near death by the strange man who had slain his mother, he was unaware when the pack of gnolls swelled over the carriage.\u00a0 Romus did the only thing he was capable of, crawling under the wagon for safety.<\/p>\n

The gnolls would have surely killed him had they not focused on the stranger first.\u00a0 While they were attacking the human, a group of kobold<\/a> hunters entered the fray.\u00a0 They had been stalking the gnolls from afar, watching their movements to make sure they would not attack the neighboring town of Greenwood.\u00a0 When the gnolls made their cursory attack on the two humans by the tower, the kobolds burst into action, and disposed of the gnolls.<\/p>\n

Romus survived, and was assisted by one of the kobolds, a shaman named Mo\u2019Rama.\u00a0 The kobolds delivered Romus and his deceased mother to Greenwood, leaving him with the other villagers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Training<\/b><\/p>\n

After his mother\u2019s death, Romus saw life with a new clarity.\u00a0 He wanted to make sure that what happened to his mother would never happen to anyone else.\u00a0 He sold the wagon, and all of his worldly possessions to purchase training in a variety of combat styles.\u00a0 When his master in Greenwood was done providing him with all the knowledge he could, he sent Romus north to an urban city called Seramore.<\/p>\n

With Romus\u2019 training continuing in Seramore, he became a well respected and talented fighter, eventually joining up with a small mercenary unit based out of the city.\u00a0 He performed odd tasks for a while, spreading his name and earning a reputation before, finally, obtaining a summons from the capital of Raleigh, Viscosa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Officer of Raleigh<\/b><\/p>\n

Romus traveled to Viscosa, and immediately upon his arrival, he was appointed an officer to a small diplomacy unit.\u00a0 Specifically, he was an escort to a Raleighn ambassador.<\/p>\n

His first excursion took him back towards home.\u00a0 He passed through Greenwood, into Warus, finally reaching the kobold capital of Eugitrin.\u00a0 There he reconciled with Mo\u2019Rama, the kobold who had rescued him when he was younger.\u00a0 Romus\u2019 first quest while serving for Raleigh was to assist the kobolds of Eugitrin with the encroaching gnoll forces.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life of Tolerance<\/b><\/p>\n

Romus served beside Mo\u2019Rama for a great while, eventually dispersing the gnolls altogether.\u00a0 But the two groups did not do it alone.\u00a0 Romus and Mo\u2019Rama met up with other members of what would be an ongoing companionship. \u00a0It was those companions that followed Romus into what would arguably be his most remarkable feat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The War of the Fallen Angel<\/b><\/p>\n

Where the Angel Falls<\/b><\/p>\n

When Samielle, the fallen angel, was banished to the plane of Tellest, he was first encountered near Seramore, the city Romus eventually considered his home.\u00a0 His hatred towards humanity burned the city in his mind, and as such, when he finally dipped his white wings into the fire of the volcanic MountRuben, Seramore was his first target for destruction.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Exodus<\/b><\/p>\n

When Samielle, then Semia\u2019Laz, began his mass genocide within Draconis, Romus and his friends were the group foremost at hand leading the evacuation to safety.\u00a0 The demons flooded all of Draconis, but the efforts of Romus and his companions saved many lives.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Obtaining Archangel<\/b><\/p>\n

After the evacuation of the people of Draconis had been effective, Romus decided he could not be made to live underground any longer.\u00a0 Humans had been banished once before, and he refused to suffer that same fate to humanity again.\u00a0 Rather, he went, along with his companions, to fight the demon armies.\u00a0 They were successful for a long time, but one by one, the companions fell.\u00a0 Romus decided he needed something to even the odds.\u00a0 It is said that one of the gods came to him in a dream and told him of a great sword called Archangel, which was supposedly blessed by every one of the gods.\u00a0 Romus made it his personal quest to find the sword.<\/p>\n

Historical evidence has never proven where the sword was found, but it is said to have been returned to its resting place after Romus\u2019 death.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Battle<\/b> with Semia\u2019Laz<\/b><\/p>\n

While Romus\u2019 companions held off the demon army, he went straight to the head of the opposition, seeking out Semia\u2019Laz.\u00a0 His encounter with the fallen angel was bloody and deadly, hurting both greatly.\u00a0 But it was the final stab from Archangel that laid the killing blow on Semia\u2019Laz, allowing Romus to aid his allies in pressing the demons back to Evarice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Death<\/b><\/p>\n

Circumstances of Death<\/b><\/p>\n

Romus Youngblood was the last of his companions to die.\u00a0 He was cursed with seeing all of his friends fall to the demon armies.\u00a0 He lived out the rest of his life naturally, the guilt of being the lone survivor driving him to solitude.\u00a0 No one knows where he died or if he had taken any other companions by his side.<\/p>\n
