History/Story
History: Allistor is the son of Martin Rueger, a (now formerly) wealthy weapon merchant, and Deedra Rueger, a former requip mage from Blue Pegasus. His mother died shortly after giving birth to Allistor, sending Martin, his father, into a deep depression, that would later turn to hatred as Allistor would grow. Early on in his life, Allistor did not interract much with his father, as Martin would often avoid eye contact with his son, blaming Allistor for the death of Deedra. By the age of seven, Allistor had dug up an old photo album from the attic in his house as well as an old sword with a black and scarlet handle, and learned then that his mother had been a requip mage, and decided to follow in her foot steps, to honor the mother he never met, and to become closer to the father that avoided him.
After two years of practicing in secret, reading his mother's text books, practicing with kicthen ware and his own clothes, he was finally able to properly perform requip magic. Excited, he began to show his father, believing that his father would be proud of him, and that they would become closer to one another. Instead, his father became enraged, taking Allistor's efforts to emulate his mother as the last straw. The final insult.
Martin tortured Allistor for hours, cutting him with swords that he had made himself. Then, late at night, he carried Allistor out (believing him to have been dead), and threw him in a cockroach and spider infested dumpster.
Allistor was discovered by a local shop keeper, who had fortunately been working late, and heard Allistor's moans coming from the dumpster when she had started to take her trash out.
Hospitalized, and in critical condition, Allistor was on the verge of death, when his doctors brought in a local mage by the name of Kushinari that offered to treat the boy's wounds, having been an expert in healing magic. The mage's efforts were succesful, but because the wounds were so severe, Allistor would be left riddled with scars for the remainder of his life, as well as blind in his left eye.
Kushinari would check on Allistor every day, keeping the boy company, and to hopefully learn what had happened, since Allistor remained quiet. It would be three weeks later that Allistor would finally say something. He explained what had happened, from learning requip magic, to being tortured by his father. Much to Allistors surprise, Kushinari revealed that he had been friends with Deedra for a long time, but had lost touch with her when she retired from the guild to start her life as a mother.
The mage told Allistor that if he was serious about following in his mother's foot steps, that all he would have to do is go to Blue Pegasus. With his mother's sword in hand, Allistor joined Blue Pegasus, and had remained there ever since, obtaining new weapons, armor, and combative skills as time went on. However, as long as he had been there, he had remained distant to the other members of the guild, as the memories of opening up to his father remained in his psyche, preventing him from ever truly opening up to people, for fear of their scorn, rejection, and loathing.
RP Sample: He stared off into space once more. Sitting as still as a statue, Allistor looked back to the past, his past. The color of that world replaced with a sepia lense, as he recalled the moments where his father avoided him. He wondered what life would have been like had he never atempted magic. Would Martin have come around to him? Would he had been accepted by his own father had he stayed out of the way? Probably not, he thought, as the images of being tied up and slashed by swords came about, causing his scars and his bad eye to itch momentarily from the memory.
This made the young man sigh, leaving him to wonder if he would ever truly be better. Would he ever be rid of the nightmares? Would he ever truly be strong enough to open up to others?
As he continued to question and doubt himself, a barmaid and fellow member of Allistor's Guild strolled up, and brought the troubled young man a small deep dish pizza, with extra cheese and pepparonies, as well as a tall bottle of soda.
"Here's your pizza and soda, Alice!" said the female bartender in a cheery tone, accompanied by a warm smile
Startled by the bartender, Allistor shuddered at first, then looked at his order carefully, examining it to make sure everything was alright with it, then turned his attention to the barmaid with his half empty/half shy expression he wore whenever someone started talking with him.
"T-Thanks...Amanda."he said, almost in whisper.
With a friendly nod, Amanda had walked off. Allistor sat there for a moment, looking around with his one good eye, making sure that no one was looking at him, then gingerly picked up a slice of his pizza, and then took a huge bite out of it.
"Oh gaw..."He said quietly, with his mouth full of food,"Ith tho goo!"
