Edward Riley

Edward Riley (or Dark Star ; DarkStar28) is an adventurer, builder, gatherer and Verhalre (Count) in the continent of Rathnir. Originally born in the continent of Eldham, one day he was mysteriously summoned in Rathnir. From that day on, he began his adventure to find out why he appeared in a foreign continent and find out more about this new land.

Early Life
Edward Riley was born on May 28, 1996 in the city of Myrtle, in the Kingdom of Anglunia on Eldham. The father was a royal scout, while the mother ran a shop outside the city walls. The boy had a quiet childhood until, at the age of 9, his father mysteriously disappeared during a mission for the king. This fact threw the family into crisis, leading even Edward's mother to fall ill and, later, to pass away. At just 15, Edward had to learn to live on his own, finding small jobs around the kingdom and living in the few places he could stay for more than one night. In this period of constant movement, Edward learned to survive alone in the woods and to hone his steal techniques, as the jobs he found did not give him enough to live for. Joining bands of thieves he could survive with from time to time, Edward earned his nickname "Dark Star" as code name after being accepted in the "Oscyle Thieves Guild". On September 3, 2021, Edward woke up after a day of work, but in another completely different place.

Rathnir Experience
Awakened, Edward discovered that he had mysteriously ended up in Caelum Pass (X:3624 ; Z:1637), in the lands of Rathnir. At his side he found nothing but his equipment and a used summoning rune, meaning someone or something had summoned him to Rathnir. With many questions and not knowing where to go Edward began to travel, looking for someone who could help him while crossing the continents of Sparwood and Alteniquia. Reaching the nation of Yimmu-Audal, he saw an announcement made by AnonymousMan, offering Edward to go to live in the city of Skargness to reorganize himself. With no other possibilities Edward accepted, but his presence in the town was short as Emelyn H. contacted and advised the boy to reach the town of Calador as she could help Edward find a place to settle and maybe find some answers to why he was summoned in Rathnir. Edward decided to reach Solisios, making brief contact with the local community in Calador and Luxios to help them with various small jobs. In the meantime the boy tried to ask for help, but the inactivity of the locals once again forced the adventurer to seek help elsewhere, stumbling upon Loria City after various searches. Welcomed by Lukas Lordinger, Edward decided to settle in the city and join Tortuga, where he helped with the construction of a warehouse. With the local population that began to leave the city, Edward once again could not find anyone who could help him understand why he was in Rathnir. Now hopeless, Edward began to understand that he should postpone his request for help at a better time, once again starting to travel in the continent of Sparwood and Alteniquia in search of a stable location where he could create a life for himself in those foreign lands.

Inside the Empire of Aldovir & Astyllea
After days of research and travel, the 13th of September 2021 Edward stumbled upon the village of Talstadt, outside the city of Arstedanna. There he found the community led by Nopper Livelín síl Kair'vern and Talanthas s. Livelín (Azeari síl Livelín) who welcomed warmly the young adventurer within the Aldovir Empire. Ever since Edward kept helping the Empire to grow, building structures or helping to gather materials for the numerous buildings that were prepared, at the same time he kept exploring the world and knowing lots of interesting people, such as Aldara Ellan, Ellira Accero, Nico Nagaheart, Shaerelia Elernel-Levia, Elzaress and Vorian síl Katráthi. After being accepted in the high ranks of the state of Lapidovir and the Empire of Astyllea, reaching the rank of Verhalre ("Count" in Sagaviri language), he was later on accepted inside the city-state of Lirgal, where he met and he's meeting other more interesting people. Currently he lives in the region of Altís, where he is administering the lands as Verhalre, while restoring the area after being massively destroyed by foreign people and invaders.

One day suddenly, while the adventurer was in the mines of Altís, he disappeared in the darkness. From that time on nobody saw him forever, and most people still think that Edward died, others instead thought that maybe he left for another place or a new adventure elsewhere, but nobody is still sure today... For now it's a mystery.

Appearance
Edward has short-length dark brown hair pulled back in the front, whit really short hair on both sides. He is 1,66 meters tall and has brown eyes. Despite going in various adventures, Edward shows itself has being almost skinny and with a barely athletic body, but his physical appearance doesn't compromise his skills, having extreme agility and speed when it comes to running or combat.

He likes to wear dark clothes because during his time as thief he learned that the more the clothes are dark, the less he's likely to be spotted by dangerous people or creatures. As such he wears a black jacket with raised sleeves, while under it he wears a beige shirt. His pants and boots are black, while his finger-less gloves are dark brown. He always wander around with a bag.

His favorite and most used weapon is the Scythe.

Personality
He is an extremely hyperactive and positive-attitude boy, always cheerful and ready to help people everywhere he can. He is pretty charismatic when it comes to attracting or knowing people and he always tries to avoid combat or to hurt people unless he's constraint to fight for his life or for protect others.
