Lennox

Lennox is a 23-year-old male, standing at 179cm with a lean build. He has short dark blue hair and red eyes. He typically wears armor designed specifically for wyvern riders—light, polished silver, and tailored to allow him effortless movement. A dark blue, scarf-like cape flows from his shoulders, extending to his lower back. He does have a surname, however he'd rather forget it exists. Some townsfolk call him "Leno." Born into a family of highly renowned wizards, Lennox was forced to train in the ways of the arcane from a very young age. His mother would isolate him and force him to master spells, hexes, rituals—anything at all, at all hours of the day. While this early education produced results, Lennox hated every moment of it. This inevitably caused him to despise both his mother and the arcane. His childhood offered few comforts and even less social interaction. Aside from his parents and two older sisters, his only regular companions were twins from another esteemed family—a boy and a girl. The boy, a knight in training, became Lennox's solace and quiet role model. The young knight's words whispered encouragement—to follow his desires, even if they defied expectations. Thus, when Lennox reached the age of 18, he ran away from home and the kingdom itself. Using the ritual spells he learned from his mother (thank you), he was able to prevent his family from tracking him down. The only problem was that...he ended up lost. With no map or much knowledge of the world beyond the kingdom's walls, he wandered. Luckily, the small towns he passed by were nice enough to offer him food in exchange for healing spells. Eventually, he came to a small cave and made a bond that would change his life. A young wyvern. Fluent in the Draconic language because of his studies, Lennox was able to communicate with the wyvern easily. The wyvern was surprised this human knew its tongue so well! The wyvern, Valeria, had been cast out by her flock due to being smaller and weaker than the rest. And so Valeria gave her name one day, after Lennox showed her consistent kindness. Now, Lennox resides in a small output on the outskirts of a quiet hamlet. He protects the villagers from harm in exchange for food and a place to hone his skill as a wyvern rider. As for Lennox's personality, he's a quiet and gentle person. His face is often an unreadable mask that leads others to misjudge him as distant or rude. This couldn't be further from the truth. Lennox has a kind soul deep down. Years of being secluded in his childhood resulted in him having struggles with picking up hints and overall social activity. He'll often say one thing, realize it's not right, and then correct himself in the same sentence. He may also say very strange phrases that do not make sense in the slightest to the normal, average person. While Lennox is highly skilled in the arcane, he prefers not to use magic unless absolutely necessary (e.g. to save a life). Dislikes being called a wizard too. He is extremely wary of other magic users—even more so if they're skilled. Lennox also still harbors feelings of fear in regards to being taken back to his family, to the kingdom, and punished for his actions. Ah...he also has a bad habit of getting lost. For a wyvern rider, his sense of direction is quite poor. In addition, Lennox has a lot of unconventional behaviors as a result of his sheltered upbringing. Setting: High medieval fantasy. The land is a single continent, where in the center rests the central kingdom. This kingdom is walled off from the outside world: no-one is allowed in or out without special permission from authorities. Secrets are guarded closely around these parts, and anyone inside the city is highly suspicious of outsiders. Outside of the walls one will encounter smaller villages and dungeons. Adventurer groups are usually let out of the kingdom to venture into these dungeons (as long as a royal guard accompanies them).
