Gandiral

The Ganadian

 Biography

Much like most Paladins, Gandiral has been guided by the Light and is highly religious. Gandiral has been through a lot as he turns away from the dark temptation of the Nulgath Nation and the Legionnaires. Through his temptations, he has at times given in to conformity but never stopped believing what he stood for.

He was always a Paladin deep down no matter what dark path he decided to stumble down upon. A drunkard, he was once, but gone from that path, he is.

The thing that makes Gandiral special is that he always puts others first before himself. This is both a blessing and a curse. He keeps his inner demons at bay but that is not good enough even though he thinks it is. He will always forego his problems in order to help others because his greatest joy is seeing others happy.

Gandiral can be humble at times, but often dismisses this by turning it into sarcastic cockiness as a way of hiding his awkwardness to accept it. He loves to write but his studies at PaladinU keeps him busy so he is unable to write as much. However, Gandiral will always find the time to help you if you ask. If you need help he has your back no matter what. He will give you 110% in your time of need.

Gandiral does not have much of a past. What is known is very little yet very significant to his character. He has been known at times as the paladin to switch his gear very often. Most Paladins keep the same armour until it is significantly damaged, but not Gandiral. Why? It is unknown why. There have been theories. Some say it is because he was never happy with the armour that he had so he kept requesting the tailor and blacksmith to make his new gear. Others say it is because he is so powerful that enemies have put a bounty on his head so during battle everyone targets him. There, of course, have been multiple theories for this phenomenon but none have been proven true.

Recently, he has reverted back to the traditional look of paladins from the older days of the Paladin Order. This puzzled many because it is so outdated and debunks most of the theories created. Gandiral his a loyal Paladin Order and has arisen from the lowest ranks to highest ranks in the Order. He has been a member of the Order for years and although left at times, he never stopped believing what the Order taught him.

He always was a Paladin at heart and never gave that up even during his brief alignment with evil. He always thought, "What Would a Paladin Do?" Thus, he came back to the Order only to find most of it ruins, which hurt him deeply. Gandiral appears to the public hear and there but often is in hiding. Again, theories and rumours arose but one always stuck, that is, that he is trying to rebuild the Paladin Order.

## Real life story

Gandiral lives in Canada's Capital. He plays sports, primarily rugby, and has dabbled in other sports such as hockey and soccer. He is a social drinker and will go out to have some drinks with his friends in order to have a good time and release some stress that built up from school. He attends his local university where he plays varsity rugby as a Loose Head Prop. He always holds himself to a higher standard in terms of his academic and sporting career and feels his best is never enough, which agitates his closest friend. Currently, he is working to achieve his Bachelor of Arts in Communications. He is in an honours program, which means he is required to uphold a certain CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) and it could lead to him going for his Master's Degree, which is something he is currently considering. Gandiral's real-life persona is very similar, if not identical to his in-game persona, which is rare for most gamers. Gandiral has had his struggles with faith and depression but is currently trying to get it all sorted out, which he is slowly but surely getting through. He is an open book and is willing to talk about most, if not all things that his friends or followers have questions about. He is also competitive at times and can get a little on edge as he can become selfish and do what's required to win.
