Mental characteristics
Personal history
Arlo was born to Arlond Devine and Elaine Devine after the death of their first born child. His mother died shortly after child birth which causes him to be raised by his resentful father until he was eight years old when his father had died a hero defending the squad he was stationed with. Arlo was then placed with an orphanage where he met his closest friend and "sister", Sabil Percy. As they grew up in the harmful orphanage that they did, Arlo did everything he could to protect the other kids of the orphanage, and even helped Sabil in becoming adopted.
During the following time he spent many of his years working in various trades, trying to find the place that he belonged and find something that filled the void within his heart. Blacksmith, mason, guard, church aid, farm hand, and many more trades filled his repertoire. Excelling at each of them but never finding the one thing that truly spoke to him. He stayed in close contact with Sabil and her adoptive parents, and while she held feelings for him, he never was able to return the same to her.
During the day of Hammerfall, he found himself aiding others to survive the onslaught caused by the Draconis beast. Saving the Bennet family in the process from an untimely death, among many others. He soon found himself being led up a tower where he took the heroic deed to leap from the tower, giving an attempt on the beast himself without fear, and with hope at his side. It is here that Arlo's story began. That his passion and purpose fell from the sky, filling the empty void within his heart in Lucy Devine.
Education
Arlo's youthful education was only led by the midwife that aided in his birth. His father had spent much time away with the border patrol of Cyrill, and even when he was home was distant and resentful. Only showing few signs of fatherly advice or love until his death.
Employment
Presently Arlo lead the Knights Of Devine as the Beacon Of Hope and its creator. Though he has worked many jobs in his life, learning the trade of multiple professions.
Failures & Embarrassments
Arlo holds many failures within his own eyes. Allowing the Draconis beast to attack the city before he was brave enough to call his hammer and attack it. Not being beside his wife to defend her when her life was taken from her during the end of the Draconis War. And not being fully present in his children's life as they grew up, opting to use training sessions as a way to spend time with his kids together when his time was stretched then leading the charge of the Knights of Devine.
Mental Trauma
The attack on Hammerfall is still something that he see's and lives with every day. His wounds leave bruises and wear and tear upon his body that will never heal, yet he continues to press forward, despite the constant pain.
