I would like to see who can best bring to life one of my characters.
Some of you may be familiar with him.
His name is Captain Dylan Rhys.
For those who haven't the time to read The Sins of the Fathers on the story board, here is a brief bio:
Dylan Rhys was born in a small village to a farmer and a seamstress. At age twelve, he was taken captive by Keidran Wolf King Rexis the Great, who slaughtered his parents and his entire village. Rhys was kept as a slave by the Keidrans, and became intimately acquainted with their culture and language. Some time later, Rhys killed King Rexis and escaped back to Human lands, where his inside knowledge of Keidran society quickly made him a successful slave captain. He married a beautiful woman name Arielle and had a son, Maximus.
Recently, Dylan's demons came back to haunt him after he captured Rexis' grandson, Prince Rexis III, and separated the young wolf from everything he once knew. This led to Dylan being estranged from his only son. Now, he wonders what to do next.
The captain has a complex personality. He hates Keidrans, but his hatred is personal; he also respects them. Rhys has a conscience, but at the same time struggles to control his rage. He disdains magic and reveres hard work.

Note to mods: I read and re-read the forum rules, so if this thread shouldn't exist, please go easy on me. :oops:
