Erevan Burkwood

Erevan Burkwood is a human Siege Mage and Siege Gunner played by The Bard.

## History

Erevan was born in Jarn-Burg to a loving mother and father who were a priestess and a siege mage. They both had brown hair and were shocked when there son was born with black. This marked him as a crow amongst their people and led to many arguments between the parents on how the child should be raised. Before his 6th birthday Erevan's father stole him away to the far wastes of the north. They hid in the mountain ranges of the Withering Gate where they fought and hunted to live.

Erevan was trained from a young age to assemble and disassemble fire arms and siege equipment. At the age of six he helped with the construction of his own home. At the age of eight he built his first arbalest. At the age of eleven he built his first blunderbuss. The pursuit of knowledge through craftsmanship was halted for a while in as his father began to train him in the arcane. At the age of fourteen Erevan could control a ballista with magic.

At the age of 17 Erevan witness his father's death by the hands of werewolf hunters from Jarn-Burg. They attempted to tattoo Erevan's face, to mark him as a crow, but the boy used a ballista to escape. And blew up his old workshop with the last of the hunters still inside.

It wasn't until he met a woman named Celise on his hunts that he discovered his true calling. He was shown a waystone and he was able to use it. Erevan was one of the Chosen. And his adventures began at the age of twenty.

## Appearance

Erevan is average for a human at five foot eight inches. He has curly black hair, a soft face, dark brown eyes, and a scar on his left cheek. His skin is pale, but little of it is ever shown. He dresses for the extreme cold, has leather armor, and a few metal pieces; shoulder pads, knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet. He rarely takes his helmet off when in the territory of the Barbarian Kingdoms. His frame is lean with extreme muscular definition.

## Personality

Erevan is closed off, unwilling to share anything about himself, and often hiding under his helm. This is contrasted by his great amount of empathy. He can't help but feel what others do and is often hurt by the suffering of others. He might stand for his own beliefs and argue when he believes himself right, but he would quickly step down if his opinions or actions might lead to unneeded conflict.

## Family

Erevan Burkwood's father is dead. His mother still resides in Jarn-Burg with his younger sister. His younger sister is also a Crow and has been marked as such. Erevan's mother turned him away and has disowned him until he gives in to the old traditions. Until he allows himself to be marked as a Crow his mother wants nothing to do with him.

## Allies

Erevan is still exploring the world and meeting new people but he considers Marvela, Nortom, Celise, and some others he went on missions with as friends. While some of his conversations have touched on his life or theirs, he has not fully let down his guard, and has not shown a readiness to commit to a lasting friendship or anything more.

## Enemies

Erevan Burkwood considers The Barbarian Kingdoms as hostile to him for his position as a Crow who has broken away from ancient traditions. Specifically he is warry of Jarn-Burg and its hunters. Although his uneasiness towards hunters was immediately challenged by one such hunter of the Barbarian Kingdoms. Celise was one such hunter who was nice to Erevan and showed him his true calling in life.
