Character

Artorias is a young Hyur, he hailed from the lands outside of Erozea, but he can never seem to remember where from. He's a stubborn man who cares for his friends, He'd take the death blow for any of them given the chance without a second thought. He can typically always been seen with Surillian Blu. Hotheaded, though calm alot, he enjoys talking with anyone, but dont press too hard on his past, he tends to come up with stories that will eventually lead off to something completely un related. His hair can be seen mostly kept in a bushy/wild fashion, though he dosent change his style alot, his hair is a dark blue, with what seems like black beneath it. Typically dressed in armor, but ever since he has gotten with Suri, he's seen in more casual clothing, though he has a very small collection of cloths, he might be seen wearing the same outfits days apart.Currently he resides in Limsa along with Suri. As for his spare time, its spent with her, or others. But lately he has started to look more into the use of magic, as he loved his ability to create ice mist from his breath and create small objects. Though he's herd the tales of the ones who walk this path, they fall into the darkness, that consumes all. He won't say anything to Suri yet, for he may drop this idea rather soon, though he might not. Artorias could very well walk the path into the Abyss.."

Lyric's to a song that can be found in his journal:

I see nothing leading you to your destiny There's nothing leading you back to Where you belonged Fight till death This war makes you alive Never forgive a Shenanigan

No fear no shame, you now beyond the destiny There's nothing pulling you back to Where you belonged Fight till death This war kept you alive Never forgive a Shenanigan

We know Daylight comes after days of war And knights will fight and die for a piece of peace And the darkness went down and wonder Earth cracks and mountains vanish underneath the warrior.

Blow your mind away! Blow your life away! You can't look away! You can't get away! Blow your brain away! Blow your fate away! Don't you know why? A guy like you better be just Oh Yeah!

I see nothing leading you to your destiny There's nothing leading you back to Where you belonged Fight till death This war makes you alive Never forgive a Shenanigan

We know Daylight comes after days of war And knights will fight and die for a piece of peace And the darkness goes down and wonders Skies fall and lightning strikes to the sword of the warrior.

Blow your mind away! Blow your life away! You can't look away! You can't get away! Blow your brain away! Blow your fate away! Don't you know why? A guy like you better be just.

Blow your mind away! Blow your life away! You can't look away! You can't get away! Blow your brain away! Blow your fate away! Don't you get freaked out!

Relativly a year before the calamity, Garlean forces had come to spread slowly, without alerting the three cities. Artorias was out hunting that day. As he returned from hunting, his house was set aflame, along with the execution of his wife and son. He never found out why. But all he knew is that it was Gaius von Baelsar who had commited the act. From that day, Artorias strove with vengance and hate in his hear, he trained effortlessly with sword's, two handed axe's, and spear's. Not knowing if he could even do such a fool's errend. He set off to the three cities in hope's of besting his skill's in order to get pay back. That hatred he had growing in his heart changed him, He had become the thing he alway's hated. The enemy.
