Appearance & Personality

An average height male, with unruly, black hair with blonde highlights. He always wears something new, so it's really rare to see him with the same clothes for a long time. His most noticeable feature is a scar that goes down his right eye, which his father gave to him at an early age. He is quiet and usually struggles to make friends and relationships, mostly because back in the village, he tried to separate himself from everyone else, to make leaving less painful.

Biography

1542-1561

Childhood

Edco was born an only child in a tribe of Miqo'te called the Sunchasers. Practically everybody in the tribe knew him, mostly due to his parents being the nicest people in the area. If any help was needed, you can bet the Bane's were there. Edco, on the other hand, wasn't so much. If there was any trouble, chances are, he at the very least instigated it about 70% of the time. Despite this though, the town relied on his parents to help whenever needed, so a lot of his punishments were trivial, with severe ones just having a consequence of a few days of community service. This however stopped, when his dad drew his sword on him and swung at his face, giving him a scar. This was to Edco a lesson in both respect and humility.

Around the age of 8, a group of adventures came to the village to see if they can rest for the night. Edco was amazed by their armor, and stuck with them. One of the archers of the group showed him a portrait of his daughter. He said her name was Amy, and that she too, would become an archer just like him. The group secretly snuck Edco out of the village, and let him watch as they hunted a Malboro. It was here that he knew what true freedom felt like, and wanted to become an adventurer. He resented village life, and almost everybody around him.

Teenage

Edco was attending a school in the village that was specifically meant to train and enhance archer abilities. At this point, some of the hunters have actually moved into the village, one of them being the archer Edco met when he was little. Needless to say, he attended the same school as Amy. Since she was the only student that could possibly best Edco, so they were constantly fighting each other, and became rivals soon after.

Despite the rivalry, they were great friends outside of school, and almost inseparable. However, Edco's mother in particular didn't seem fond of her, saying that she is a bad influence and that he should focus more on being useful to the village rather than following that "pig" to live in a fantasy of becoming an adventurer. Edco just decided to agree with his mother, to avoid further confrontation. However, the things she said stuck to him, and just depressed him the further he thought about it, knowing that the one person he could trust has said those things about the only friend he ever really had.
