Rocland Strayhart

This is the Character description for Aero's best friend, right hand man, loyal companion, and the bearer of the Dark Dragoon spirit.

Physical Appearance
~Eyes- Brown

~Hair- Brown, short cut, and wavy

Weapon of choice
Two handed Scythe.

Physical balance
~Strength- High. The amount of time spent training with Tasman Sensei has greatly built his physical strength

~Speed- Low. Simply put, his weapon is heavy and somewhat difficult to move around with, as it's weighted on one side.

~Magic- medium. Training his mind and body has honed what would normally be low to zero magic skill.

Background Story
Rocland was (and still is) your average young villager. He was raised by farmers, his father and mother both once owned farms of their own long ago before they met eachother, got married, and settled down in Seles. While his parents, or more specifically his mother, encourage him to explore himself and find his is true purpose on his own, he is mostly comfortable being a regular farmer like his father before him.

However, as he became friends with a boy named Aero, his feelings about his life began to drastically change. Aero was the first person to aknowledge him as an individual, while the other kids saw him as boring and normal. Because Aero gave him the feeling that he really could be something more than just a farmer, Rocland swore he'd make it up to him every day somehow.

His feelings about his life took a drastic turn two years ago when Master Tasman, an expert swordsman who went on a great journey long ago, returned to Seles looking for a pupil. At first, Rocland was only somewhat interested, but later that night, he had a nightmare where Aero was being eaten alive by a giant snake and he couldn't do anything to protect him. Because of this nightmare, the next day, Rocland begged Tasman to accept him as a pupil and teach him how to fight. Tasman reluctantly agreed, failing at first to understand why such an ordinary looking young man would want to learn how to wield a blade. Tasman's first request to him was to pick a weapon to train with and reminded him that it should be a weapon that he feels most comfortable with. Rocland didn't hesitate to pick up his scythe and begin his training.
