Face Claim: Gavin Leatherwood
OOC Name: Magpie
CHARACTER NAME: Ethan James Carver
AGE: 27
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Teronna
APPEARANCE: Ethan is about 6'1, with a muscular build, although he has more the figure of a football player or wrestler than a bodybuilder--his muscle is for work and not for show. He wears fairly basic clothing, although he trends towards blues and greens when possible. He wears glasses when reading but not the rest of the time.
MARITAL STATUS: Unmarried
FAMILY MEMBERS: Brother Finnian Carver
POSITION/OCCUPATION: Rogue Mystic/hired hand
GRAMARYE GIFT (if any): extreme accuracy, specifically with knives or darts. He must take aim, which takes approximately 3 seconds, and if he is distracted or jostled he will miss his mark.
PERSONALITY: Ethan is a jerk. Outwardly, to 99% of people, he is a smug, pompous asshole who starts fights for no apparent reason and insults anyone who tries to get close to him. The 1% who see deeper than that are those he has decided are 'his' people--right now only his brother has that title. He is fiercely protective, almost blindly devoted to his ideals, and unafraid to back up his words with his fists. Despite being able to use knives with more accuracy, he prefers to handle things in the simplest manner possible.
After losing his parents due to the conflict between Allarick and the mystics, Ethan is fiercely devoted to the restoration of mystics in Teronna and their right to live their own lives. He believes that people with abilities should be praised and encouraged, rather than feared. His imagining may be rather simplistic, but he thinks that people should be treated equally in general. He believes that Mystics could easily rule the land through violence but he would rather they were just treated as human beings and allowed to go about their lives; he despises those who rule through fear and violence.
HISTORY:
Ethan is the eldest son of Ruth and Samuel Carver. His baby brother was born just a little over a year later, and the two grew up in a pretty average childhood until they were 13 and 14. That year, everything was taken from them. Their father was a mystic that had been found, and was killed. Their mother tried to interfere, and was murdered as well. Ethan and Finn were captured by the men who came for their father.
Ethan still isn't sure how long they were in captivity. He began trying to escape the very first day--fighting back against his captors, pretending to play along so he could try to get their weapons, telling insane stories about people who threw fire and walked through walls, whatever he could think of. His nose still carries telltale marks of having been broken more than once during this period, along with a ominously perfect set of parallel scars that run horizontally across his back.
Finally, when he woke before his torturer had returned, he was able to take one of the man's obsidian scalpels and throw it directly into the man's eye socket. He had known about his ability before, but had kept it hidden from his captors by not using it against them until he was absolutely sure he could get out. He used another to sever the leather ties that had bound him to the table, and was able to take his brother and escape. He knew that appearing covered in blood and with both eyes blackened from his broken nose made him look more like a ghost than a savior, but thankfully Finn trusted him anyway.
Since that time, Ethan has never been comfortable staying in one place for more than a month or two at a time, and he keeps himself and Finn moving in an unpredictable circuit of the country. He doesn't trust anyone enough to reveal his or Finn's abilities, and tends to avoid even giving his name to people if he can. If necessary, he will tell people to just call him E.
