Selrahc Schtauffen Guardoise
---------------------------
Class: Crusader
Age: 20
Gender: Male
---------------------------
As a swordsman, Selrahc had stepped off of the Airship from the Schwarzvald Republic, seeking to get away from the horrors of his hometown in Lighthalzen. It wasn't long before a man known on the battlefield as the Dark-Paladin, found him, trained him more in the ways of the sword. The man whose enemies feared him as the bringer of death, and whose friends knew him as Benny. Benny took Selrahc under his wing, trained him and taught him the skills he needed to pass his Crusader test. From there, Benny guided Selrahc's progress, teaching him the ways of the Shield and its usages for protection as well as attack.
Selrahc followed Benny loyally, until the fateful day that the proud Paladin faced off against Dark Lord. Shouting and throwing his mighty shield at the fiend, he yelled for Selrahc to flee. Selrahc stood frozen in horror as he watched the man who had helped him become who he was die before his very eyes. As Dark Lord and his minions turned on Selrahc, he put his feet to running and ran as far as he could. He drifted from tavern to tavern, racked with guilt over the death of his master. He buried himself in sorrow and agony. Until the day she came into the bar. Cindy Tortuga, known as the Flying Turtle for her speed and durability in combat, discovered Selrahc at his lowest point and turned his eyes outward again. She took him in just as Benny had, teaching him to find his courage once again.
For the next several years, Selrahc trained under her, pledging his loyalty to her. Until yet again, disaster struck beneath the Nameless Isle, deep within the Cursed Monastery. As Selrahc and Cindy faced off against the mighty Beelzebub, the rest of their guild dying off quickly, Cindy sacrificed herself to save Selrahc from such a similar fate. Again left with no option but to run and save himself for the sake of her sacrifice he ran. This time however he chose to live as she had taught him.
When he finally returned to his new home in Izlude from that dreadful campaign, he first slept for many days at the inn. Until he finally awoke, recovered from his grave wounds, nursed back to health by the patrons of the Inn. He stumbled back into the great Prontera, where while he was staring at the great fountain dedicated to Odin he heard a voice behind him.
"Would you like to join us in our search for the truth?" came the voice of a female wizard.
Selrahc turned around to face her. He thought for a moment, and nodded, deciding to turn his skills to a new leader. And truely beginning his most heROic quest.
