Background:
The youngest son of Keldon Rane, an armorsmith with too many
sons, no wife (she died of the flu shortly after Carden was born)
and bearly enough work to support them. Carden is the 5th of five
surviving brothers. To say that Carden grew up fighting for
everything he had would be an understatement. Under the guidance
of their father, a devout follower of Kord, the Rane boys were
always finding ways to test their physical prowess, sometimes to
the detriment of family, friends and strangers.
It wasn't long before the boys' exploits caught the attention of
the mayor/sheriff of Achive. Being a sensible man he did the only
logical thing he could do with 5 rowdy boys, he drafted them in
to the militia for.
After the initial shock the Rane boys took to the work with
gusto. After all now they could bust heads and get paid to do it.
All the boys took to the work like they had been born to it, all
that is except Carden.
Carden, for all that he enjoyed busting heads, had a problem with
authority figures. Having been ordered around from the day he was
born by father and brothers and now by sergeants and captains, he
decided he had had enough. So after 2 years he left the militia,
lucky not have been locked away for insubordination.
Now free of all responsibility Carden is ready to make his mark
in the world. Surly there are lots of opportunities for a young
man with a strong arm and keen sword. If not, he'd make them.
Personality:
Tough, stubborn and impetuous are just a few of the words to
describe Carden. You could also use honest and trustworthy. He
has a hard time backing down from a fight probably because he
usually starts them. He's the kind of guy to throw a punch and
ask questions later. He has a low opinion of spell casters due to
their general lack of physical prowess. He is shy and awkward
around women.
Description:
5'11" muscular build about 190lbs. With medium length black
hair and a three day growth of beard. Intense blue eyes and a
broken nose.
