Cerography

**Einar Karlsefni**, also known as IGN Cerography (stylized in lowercase), is an eighteen year old Bandit. He is one of the founders of Pintrin, a town part of the Kingdom of Aurora. He is characterized as having scorched, dark skin, with half of his face being covered in tree bark, due to his arcane Pintrinite abilities.

He is characterized as a shy, timid man, who would prefer resolving problems with words than conflict. The tree bark covering his head has caused Einar to experience significant episodes of memory loss and a murderous impulse, longing to shed blood.

Cerography joined Rathnir on December 23rd, 2021, along with companions KitsoHere, Domio, and Jmisrad.

Einar was a born in a rural village north of mainland Rathnir. He has spent most of his childhood and adolescence bedridden with many illnesses and diseases. His mother, loving and praying for his well- being, cherished her son, while his father grew to distaste him throughout the years, seeing him as nothing but a liability, unable to contribute to his family, and a waste of space and oxygen. Shortly after turning ten years old, Einar's father, unable to bear with, what was in his mind as, a failure of a son, plotted to kill him in his sleep.

### **Assassination Attempt**

On that fateful night, his father entered Einar's bedroom, to find their sleeping child, as well as his wife praying on his bedside. He stabbed Einar in his bed. Awoken by the attack, he ran away on his mother's discretion and horror. His father, chasing him, slashed his left eye, leaving a permanent scar on his face. He miraculously escaped, and ran away into the woods, where he would soon collapse.

### **The Village Doctor, and the Hardened Skin**

   He woke up at dawn, being greeted by the village's doctor and hunter, Dorian, in the center of the town. He would be treated for his wounds, and eventually illnesses. Filled with gratitude, he would be taken in by Dorian, whom he'd see as a respectable father figure. Reluctant at first Einar was taught how hunt and gather materials, as well as the way of the sword. On his fifteenth birthday, Dorian would give Einar his first, real sword. Einar was fortunate enough to learn the way of the blade through Dorian but decided that since he would only use it in defense. Einar had spent the next 2 years training with his wooden sword, and learning how to create basic potions. Shortly after Einar's 18th birthday, He woke up and when he took his bath he felt a weird, hard, brown spot on his upper forearm, he ignored it and figured it was just a patch of dry skin. However, as the days grew on he noticed the spot had started to grow larger and larger. Einar had awoken one day and the small patch of hardened skin turned into a larger, and darker patch of hardened skin. The patch would start to eventually root into his brain. Because of this Einar experienced gaps within his memory and also causing him to experience barbaric impulses.

### **The Forgotten Journey**

   Einar remembers the fateful night, and he remembers running through the woods. He struggles to remember what happened after, he has fleeting memories of a man, a man whose face has been blurred from his memory, his voice is static in his brain. All he remembers is a wooden sword. A sword he trained with for three years, and he remembers leaving. He feels his waist, and grips onto a diamond sword. His name was carved into the handle. Inside his bag, he finds a small wooden jar, with remnants of lotion inside. Carved on the underside of the wooden jar is a word or name, Einar had never seen or heard of before. Doeran? Einar fainted when he woke up again he was surrounded by the aftereffects of chaos and destruction. Whether it is surrounded by bodies or a burning forest, Einar always woke up in the middle of it. Einar’s upper body and the entire right side of his face are taken by the strange wooden disease, Shortly after Einar begins to lose consciousness, when he awakens he finds himself laying in a different area with bruises and cuts that were not on his body before. One day however he loses consciousness and wakes up, tied down, and surrounded by 3 men. They claim that Einar killed each one of their families, and left them critically injured. They say that the three of them nearly died even trying to tie him down and were lucky due to the fact that Einar randomly fainted as he was fighting them. They say that it was as if they were fighting a devil. Einar would deliberately take hits, and laugh them off as if you were showing how weak they are. They describe in gruesome detail how you killed each one of their family members, Einar has no clue what they're talking about Einar once again faints, and when he wakes up, the three of them are dead. Each one was brutally killed. Einar begins to udder that every time he faints, he doesn't just fall asleep and hit the ground, a whole other person inside of him comes out. A darker side, a side that emits pure evil.

### **The Cure**

Einar finds himself at a different location than where he was before he went unconscious. He suddenly recalls Dorean telling him that there is a witch in Rathnir who can treat his disease. Doeran said that Rathnir has a magical energy that makes it different from everywhere else in the world if any place would have the cure to the disease, its Rathnir. He finally reaches a location which he was told where a witch lived. The witch welcomed Einar and asked what he came for. He proceeded to ask for a cure of his disease to halt the growth of the wooden patch growing on his face. The witch made a potion for his disease but it had a side effect. The side effect which the witch told to Einar was it would cause memory loss. Einar was used to the memory loss and didn't hesitate to take it. However, this side effect made it worse for himself. The pure evil within him was able to roam free. Einar had lost himself to the evil within. The evil would pillage villages, commit robbery, and murder. In order to avoid suspicion of his murderous acts he would let Einar back into his body to avoid being caught. Einar in control was able to find other individuals who have a similar disease as to him. Domio, Kitso,and Einar were able to establish within the town of Pintrin and establish the Pintrin Woodpeckers. Even though, Einar may still be in control he might wake up again to the aftermath of chaos.

### Banditry/Mercenary

Einar remembers, although it was feint it was the night when his father attempted to murder him. He remembers a location a island off in the distance. Einar is still scared of his father and would never thought to himself to kill his father for what he has done to his mother. Einar broke down and questioned why everything happened this way and why things turned out this way? He kept on thinking the same question over and over until he woke the next day with a answer. The root of the problem was his father the one who put him on this wretched path. Einar let his himself to willfully to be taken over from his evil to get revenge on his father. Einar quested out for the whereabouts for the nearby island of his childhood home. He found a map which islands were mapped out in a similar shape of that close to his home. He went on a boat to venture off into but suddenly a huge storm made it impossible for traveling on the boat. Waves as tall as 30 feet completely submerge the boat which Einar was on. Einar woke up on an island with storm off in the distant. He was greeted by barbaric men who had recently finished pillaging a village. Einar asked if they if knew his father or knew of the island close to his home. No one replied, eventually someone spoke up and said that Einar's father was a infamous mercenary. It had all made sense for Einar. Why his father hated him so much was due to the fact that he was weak and frail to even learn the ways of his father. Einar questioned if he knew the whereabouts of his father. The barbaric man answered and mummers "he's right behind you". Einar turns around and steps back noticing his father is standing right before him. A man covered in blood and with gold in his pockets. Einar had no words and challenged his father to a duel. Einar's father questioned if he was confusing him for someone else but exclaimed that he would never back down from a duel. Einar dashed and went straight for his father. He dodged his sword swing and went for the fatal blow through one foul swoop. Einar looking at his father's lifeless eyes and screamed into the sky. The men surrounding were quick to respond and were ready to decapitate his head. The leader of the men appeared before them and told them to stop and to let go of Einar. Einar looking lifeless and one without purpose. For his life to be built up for one moment he had felt he no where to go. The leader of the mercenary group offered Einar to join up with his group after showing such good swordsmanship in the duel with his father. Einar accepted the offer and went onto to raid, pillage, and rob villages. Einar who had once been split into two had emerged into one being...
