History: Rahegalhoff Mesquchoku was once a farmer, a husband, and a father. He was very good at what he did, and his family loved him dearly. He was content merely to live and die on the farm he tended, raising crops of vegetables and herds of animals year after year. He had only known one Tragedy in recent times. the year before, his young wife Iola, who was only a year younger than Rahegalhoff had given birth to a daughter, but sadly, she was still-born, and beyond the household healing and magic knowledge of Iola. Together with her young son Corin, they put their daughter in a basket and sent her floating down the river, for where they lived, it was believed that Paradise existed at the end of the river, but only the dead could reach it.
For the next year the three lived in peace, without anything special happening to them. Then, approximatly one year later, the knight in black armor arrived with a gang of followers.
This stranger demanded room and board for his followers and himself. Rahegalhoff got a sinister feeling from this man, and did not want him or his men under his roof and around his family. He told them to move on, and they simply laughed. The knight snapped his fingers and his followers surrounded Rahegalhoff. He tried, he tried as best as he could, but Rahegalhoff was just a farmer, with no experience fighting anything, except maybe wrestling down the hogs when they broke free, but hog wrestling did not compare to the skill these ten men knew, and as one would expect when it is one untrained man against ten well trained knights, Rahegalhoff was beaten senseless.
He awoke to the sight of his wife and son, both dead and impaled on a white spear inside his burning house. There was nothing he could do, for as he rushed to the well in a vain attempt at putting out the house, it collapsed. Rahegalhoff collapsed as the house collapsed and cried, mourning the sensless loss of his wife and child.
He stayed there long after the house stopped burning, ignoring all things. His crops, his animals, everything. He did not have the heart or the spirit to go on, and simply wished to die, that he might join his family in the paradise at the end of the river. Even when his creatures broke free, desperate to find food, he did not stir, and finally, dying from starvation, slipped into unconiousness.
Many hours later, he stirred, and found himself inside a stone building. He sat up excited, thinking he had made it to the paradise at the end of the river. To his anger and disapointment, he found he had instead been saved by an order of monks dedicated to finding inner peace through the higher powers. Infact, it was one monk known as Brother Albert that had saved him in particular. the other monks seemed to regard Brother Albert as their leader, and for his part, Brother Albert seemed to act it.
Rahegalhoff lived with the monks for one year, during which time he trained extensivly with brother Albert, who was a master of the ways of knighthood. Rahegalhoff had gained a new purpose in life, protecting others from those who would take advantage of them, but the fires of vengence burned strongly in his heart. On the day of his knighting, the day he left the monks, Brother Albert gave Rahegalhoff one gift, he removed Rahegalhoff from the flow of time, and as such, froze his age forever at 23, however, as a side effect, Rahegalhoff would at times, appear as a very old man indeed. With naught but a simple monks robe and a Steel Longsword that was a gift from the other monks, rahegalhoff set out, looking for the knight in Black armor that slayed his family.
Special Traits:
Agelessness, timelessness: As a gift from Brother Albert, a person of many talents, the normal flow of time doesn't effect Rahegalhoff. He can still die like anyone else, even dying of old age should he live to be eighty or so, but will forever be as a 23 year old man, at least that's the way it seems for now. Perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye, but if there is, then these additional factors are unknown and unactive, at least for now.
Skills:
Longsword: Brother Albert was a Grand Master of the ways of the Longsword, and taught Rahegalhoff many things, but not everything. Rahegalhoff is better than the average person with a longsword, but definatly not the best in the world.
Shield mastery: Rahegalhoff also learned how to use various types of shields, and is knowledgeable in their use, but alas, the monastery had none to spare.
Blade Techniques: Brother Albert knew how to blend the Arcane arts with a sword, resulting in powerful fighting techniques that are all but unrivaled anywhere. He didn't teach those to Rahegalhoff, but he did teach him the basic concept and let Rahegalhoff devise his own techniques.
Multi-strike: Multi-strike is a skill that lets Rahegalhoff create two ghostly copies of his sword and right hand and arm, which form a sort of trail, following the path of his sword strokes. These ghostly copies deal half the damage of his real sword, and only last for one strike. Rahegalhoff is currently only able to use this skill three times per day before he is too worn out and his muscles too sore to attempt it again.
Equipment:
A common Steel Longsword that could be found in any blacksmith's shop in the world.
Common brown robes that the monks wear. these robes have no special qualities or abilities and could be found in any tailor shop the world over.
