Character info:

Name: Richard “Rick” Danilo
Race: Human
Age: 24
Class: Swordsman
Home country: Patrish

Personality:

Richard is quite a curious fellow, since he grew up in a pretty lonely mansion (which he wasn’t supposed to leave). He left the mansion when he was 17, and in the meantime, he picked up a lot of knowledge. So if you ask him something about the world he will likely have an answer.

He is pretty serious, but can be cheerful. Richard also enjoys a pint of beer every now and then (even in broad daylight). He can play the harpsichord, and when he sees one when visiting a tavern, Richard usually asks the barkeeper if he can play a few songs, his favorite one is Woodcarving Partita. (Yes I totally pulled a Castlevania there, LOL.)

Richard’s very friendly to other people and will help them if/when they’re in need.

History:

Richard was living a pretty boring and lonely life when he was young. All he was allowed to do is study in the library, learn a little sword fighting and play his own harpsichord. Because he read a lot of interesting things in his books, Richard wanted to go explore the world. One day, when he reached the age of 17, he had enough of his boring life. He packed his bags and walked out the front door.

Richard travelled all over the world and learned a lot of new things (one of which is alcohol). This made him more aware of his surroundings, which is why he thinks it’s odd that the government suddenly made a declaration of war between Matrei and his hometown. Now he sets out to explore and find out the meaning behind this.

Fighting Style:

Mainly thrusting moves, and he prefers to keep a distance from his enemies, so he can evade on time.

Likes:

-Things that are “new” to him
-Beer
-Taverns (he likes the atmosphere)
-Playing harpsichord
-Studying magic

Dislikes:

-The mansion
-Seeing people being treated badly
-Spiders
