Character's Name: Dexious "Dex" Maximus
Character's Age: 21

A short description of your character's demeanor, style, etc: A tall, weathered person. Obviously seen a fair amount of loss and intrigue over the years. Brown hair and eyes. Complacent and kind when he knows you.
A short biography of your character:
Related Backstory Material:
-One Ship, One Man
-The Winter Campaign Chronicles (In Progress)
-The ORION Expedition (Possible Extension)
One day, following a large storm from the day before, a man approaches from the ocean.
He explains that he is Dexious, a survivor of a catastrophe in a far away land. Once the proud owner of a successful Dex's Shop in a far away land, he left in search of new opportunities and lands to explore.
He begins his story.
Chapter 1: The Journey
He set about on a journey to find a new home after a series of events caused him to leave Dex's Shop. However, being a merchant on uncharted seas, Dexious was unprepared for the frailties of himself and his vessel. He was attacked by pirates on the open sea, barely defending himself. He beached on a nearby island and went about repairing his vessel. Making contact with the nearby town of Larow, he reopened the shop using the materials he had. He seemed at peace in this new place, and his ship as a monument to his past life.
This place became his home, he worked and fought for this land against the vicious Mountain People, whom tried for months to break the Great walls surrounding the town, but Dex worked constantly to repair the damaged walls from Mountain People attacks, and the people of Larow were thankful, so thankful they gave him a new ship named after their town, The Larow.
Chapter 2: The Escape
This peace he found though, would not last. Despite the efforts of Dex and the townspeople to fight the Mountain People, it ended when the Eastern wall finally breached. Despite requesting aid, Larow was overwhelmed when the Alliance of Towns refused to aid in the fight against Mountain People.
The townsmen fought for every inch of the town. Alley-by-alley, until only Dex and Gregory remained, fighting for the Town Hall until their last breath.
Seeing no end in sight, Dex and Gregory activated the Town's explosive charges to leave nothing for the Mountain People to scavenge. They escaped through the underground railway while the town was destroyed.
Dex and Gregory went their separate ways when they reached the beach. Gregory went on a journey to the Fortress of Dagnor to continue his fight against the Mountain People, but Dex took his ship and continued his journey he had given up months ago.
Chapter 3: The Arrival
Dexious traveled for months searching for a new place to call his own. His ship began to fall apart in his travels, because the makeshift repairs after his escape were not meant to hold for long.
He came upon this land in the middle of an intense storm. He knew nothing about it, but changed course because his ship would not survive the day. Despite his best efforts, his landfall was not an easy one. His ship smashed into the beach and he fell to the beach, unconscious from exhaustion, thirst, and the force of the landfall. He awoke on the beach, confused but lucid, and started walking inland in search of any people at all, and a new place to call his "Home".
He says he can be found next to his ship, on the ocean waiting to see which city will recruit him first.
Chapter 4: The Continuing Story
To be continued...
OOC: I'm originally from Age of Chaos (Hi Headhunter).
EDIT: Eventually I'll properly expand this with even more backstory, but this will do for now.
