Arrex Nairin
Arrex Nairin
Arrex Nairin is a reborn warrior for the Covenant of Kureta. Now reborn as a Dark Knight, they are destined to travel the land of Eriad to fight for the noble ideals of the holy Kureta and spread the word of the one true God of this world.
When Arrex awoke after the ritual only one thought was left inside:
ArrexMysteriously that was one of the few memories that Arrex remembered. The landscape, the town names all remained however nothing else appeared... nothing except the darkness.
"Help those in need."
/*The real Arrex's soul is trapped inside because of the ritual that was done on his body. The ritual was created to contain the previous host and implant a willing spirit to obey the bidding of the Black Mage's whim. The ritual was designed to create a warrior who would be capable of fulfilling any task regardless of how tough it was to execute. No feelings or emotions except pure clarity to do what is right. */

In the rare moment that someone gains a closer look it also has a striking resemblance to a corpse.
Facial Features
Underneath the armour Arrex has a slim face with sunken cheek bones, small nose and wide mouth. Around the mouth the lips are black and cracked with no sign of moisture.
If you were to look at the place where the eyes should appear you can see two small black eyes which glisten when the sun hits them in the right direction. Most strikingly their eyes glow a deep red which penetrate deep into the soul of the viewer.
Arrex's hair looks a ghostly silver and hangs slicked back behind their head, it hangs loosely and thin.

Personal history
/*Arrex awoke from a cave south from Kildenn in the mountains without much of their memory, from that moment whenever they talked two voices came out, neither overpowering and perfectly balanced between both a male and female voice. Arrex was born in Kildenn where he grew up training to be a soldier for the local guardpost. Slightly headstrong he would aspire to be the best fighter and would routinely come top of his class when sparring with the other recruits. He grew up with his Father (Malon) and Mother (Rosaria) inside the walls of Kildenn and lived a modest life. One day Arrex and his younger brother Toross went out into the mountains so they could try and complete a bounty which had been placed on a troublesome creature which was causing issues for the town. They eventually found themselves in the mountains surrounded by a pack of [insert relevant creature here] and Arrex fended them off as best as he could however they eventually got hold of Toross and began to take him away. Dehydrated and exhausted from the fight, Arrex began trying to track them and help his brother however passed out some time later. Just before he passed out a black shadow stood over him and picked him up...*/

Religious Views
The Church of the One/ The Covenant of Kureta.
The Covenant of Kureta is a privileged group of Dark Knights who wander the country in search of justice, regardless of the cost to themselves or others. Their main goal is to ensure peace is withheld amongst the land by travelling alone as one man armies tackling evil whether it may show itself.
/*The group is ran by a powerful Black Mage who only accepts individuals who have proven to be righteous by sacrificing everything for the sake of what is good and right in the world. They are brought back to an undisclosed location to be offered the Covenant of Kureta… Throughout the years not one person has denied taking the Covenant oath, those who have shown a lack of conviction before the oath take longer for the process to complete. The chosen recruits however are vetted beforehand to ensure they are fit for the job and will often only be reaped after they have completed a feat of immense proportions. If they choose to join they will be asked the eternal question and they will respond with the oath: I swear to the one and only To the one who birthed me and raised this land I swear to uphold the righteous justice and give my life for it. I swear to fight for the weak and unable I swear to confront evil and banish it from this land. I swear to be the sword and the shield for the almighty mother. Today I give my life for the Dark Knight cause and embrace the long night ahead. May this body find refuge in the night and emerge unscathed. Almighty Kureta, I accept the terms and embrace you wholly. Once the oath has been read the transformation ritual shall begin, the user becomes a husk and their personality is bound with the darkness stored within them. Once the ritual has been completed the body is left in a dark cave for the shadows to fester and grow inside the body, this process varies in time depending on how resistant the user is to the process. Once complete they don their black armour and emerge from the cave as a Dark Knight and begin again.*/
Social Aptitude
Although Arrex's appearance looks cold and hostile their personality is more akin to an inquisitive child.
Hobbies & Pets
Justice.
Speech
People within listening distance claim to hear both a female and male voice when Arrex is speaking.
Wealth & Financial state
Money is never a driving force for the members, the pact states that no one should take wealth from someone of misfortune or misery.
The reward is knowing the path they walk is righteous and that they are walking a higher path to enlightenment. This is not to say that wealth isn't useful for a Dark Knight, they are allowed to spend on what is needed however is cautious to not spend for recreation without good cause.
