Things Explained
Occupation: Blake is a weaponsmith. He makes daggers, swords, bows, arrows, the like. He never stays in one place however. He is usually travelling the world offering his services, learning about his magical heritage, sharpening his weapon skills, and learning about new cultures which influences him in constructing new weapons
Traits: Blake is usually very quiet. He only speaks when he's spoken to, or if it involves his craft/business. In groups, he never participates, and is known for being the most solitary within whatever group he's in. His upbringing grants him a very cynical outlook on life. He is a severe pessimist and usually expects the worst to happen when he does things. This can be a motivator, but it usually deters him from leaving the miniscule comfort zone he inhabits.
Backstory/History
A scream followed by a small, resonating cry echoed through the forest. The whole camp was gathered there, peering over to see the newest addition to their community. It was rather small, eyes closed, unmoving. A wave of panic spread across the crowd, but they rejoiced upon seeing the newborn's eyes open. His eyes opened opened slowly and steadily, without a twitch. The eyes were a beautiful, almost magical gold, a blessing according to the group's religion. Soon, night fell. All slept peacefully. Except for the newborn.
The baby woke up in a large tree, surrounded by straw and owl pellets. A group of three large owls surrounded the baby. The baby reached out its hand slowly and placed it's hand on the center owl's beak. The owl drew it's head back with a look of surprise and intrigue. Suddenly, a larger, more elder-looking owl drew near to the boy, staring at it, unmoving. The boy did the same thing he had done before. He reached out his hand and touched the elder's beak. The elder did not draw back. The owl's eyes widened intensely.
The boy grew quickly, and was named Hyperion Urixis Malloway, taking after the elder's late father. He learned basic survival skills and weapon skills through the knowledge of the owls, as well as chronicling his life as it continued.
Soon enough, he reached the age of 15, the adulthood of an owl. After much debate among owls, it was decided that Hyperion would be cast out into the human world under a new name. After research done regarding humans, he was given the name Blake Wells in order to coexist with humans. After a final goodbye, he was cast out into the neighboring town. He found no way of living until he found a job as a weaponsmith. He trained for months under an old, sprightly man until his sudden death. Mourning him, he decided to travel into the world and continue his teacher's knowledge. 2 years later, he is still travelling. He has become more confident in his abilities and has discovered that he is a mage, of sorts. While still inexperienced, he uses this mage ability to assist him in weapon making.
