Rowen Gysen

ROWEN VINCE GYSEN

GODSPEED THIS LETTER AWAY FROM HERE
i've sealed it with my tears
and stamped it with my fears

•• nicknames:Vince, Vinny, Row
•• age: 26
•• birth era: Medieval
•• date of birth: 7/4
•• as portrayed by:Jaime Bamber

•• your character’s body: Rowen stands at 5'11", just above average height but it doesn’t really give him any advantage over anyone. He weighs about 195 pounds, just under the 200-pound mark. In training to be a knight he has built up strong muscles in both his arms and legs making him a formidable opponent to anything to cross his path. His eyes are a piercing gray/blue and his hair a dark brown. He is always clean-shaven and seems to clean up very well when he wants to.

There is nothing special about his nose which slopes down a bit, or his ears which lay against his head. He has a scar that runs down his right leg. It's a three-inch claw mark that starts at his right kneecap and ends just above his foot. There is another scar on his left shoulder and sinks down to the elbow. Hw he got such scars is a closely guarded secret.

MY WORK HERE IS THROUGH
i’m on my way to better days
and so are you

•• likes: Adrenaline rushes, fighting, slaying dragons, heat.
•• dislikes: Cold, dragons, people fighting his battles for him
•• general personality: Rowen in short is an adrenaline junky. He feeds off anything that gives him a rush, whether it be from slaying dragons or dangerous work, if it can kill you he'd want to be the first one to do it. He has fun with what he does for a living but also takes it rather seriously. Training is always an important part of Rowen's day and he does it religiously to keep in shape. If one isn't in shape, one won't survive in the dragon slaying world more then a few minutes. He has a tough persona and truly is tough, but deep down there really is a true human being, it's just buried under everything else he is...really deeply buried. He fears nothing at all, except iguanas. Rowen and them just never seemed to see eye to eye. He was trained not to fear a thing or otherwise he'd never have lasted a minute with a real dragon that wanted to tear him from limb to limb.

Rowen is the athletic type if you haven’t guess already. When he actually does have free time he'll be doing anything from exercising to working out to training. Rowen isn't the best at keeping his temper down but he puts in an effort. At the end of a day he just wants to wind down and have a drink but if there are some boozehounds causing trouble, he is often the one who throws them out on the street. In the end, Rowen loves his job, his few friends, and the relaxation and peace he gets at the spire. Though he bloody hates the cold there and often complains about it.

•• hometown: Kingdom of Golisvear
•• job(s): Leader of Order of the Dragon
•• general history: Rowen wasn't out of the ordinary while growing up as a kid. He was taught order and manners and was told to follow whatever career he wanted too. He grew up loving his family, his older brother looking after him and being his companion for most of his young life. It didn't take long for him to figure out what he wanted to do and so when the chance came he snatched it up and became an apprentice to a knight. The knight's name was Elmond the Great. Elmond was a tough character who instilled importance of training into young Rowen, as well as honor and chivalry.

One day things changed for the boy forever. The mighty dragon Demontion set foot on the kingdom's soil and wrecked havoc for three days straight. It razed houses and ate a number of civilians. Rowen watched as Elmond, his brother and his father try and protect he and his mother from the foul beast but they met their end in a blaze of fire. The next move it made was to quickly snatch up Rowen's mother and fly away while gulping her down in mid-air. This was where Rowen's obsession with slaying dragons began. After growing up to the age of 18 he became a real knight in the army and received training in the king's special group created for slaying dragons. There were eight in that group in all and by the years end, only Rowen remained. His skill was put to the test and his shear determination won out and he got to pick a fight with the evil Demontion.

The battle was a long and bloody one. It destroyed much of the kingdom, killed a few lives here and there but in the end...Rowen shoved his sword so far into the dragon's eye that it pierced the brain and caused an instant death right there on the spot. From then on he became leader of the special group the King had created. It was renamed The Order of the Dragon. Only the elite knights were hand picked by Rowen himself to help lead the charge against the ever-growing danger of dragons.
