GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Shiver
AGE: 16
GENDER: Male
SPECIES: Arcosian
GENERAL TRAITS:
STARTING PLANET: Arcose
HOME REGION: Kold Continent
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE:
BACKGROUND: Born on Arcose, Shiver was the youngest of three offspring to a warrior of repute, Lord Hale, an individual with centuries of experience and exploits against numerous foes in countless wars. Hale's children were held to high standards by those that knew them, however each proved somewhat lacking when it came to countenance for combat; they were skilled, certainly, but lacked the same battle instincts as their father. When Shiver was born, his small stature and late development were sorely noted, which caused the final child of Lord Hale to be seen as an embarrassment, a fact Shiver was reminded of by his family routinely.
The first decade of Shiver's life was difficult. Between the utter disdain of his father, the constant bullying and beatings by his brothers, the youngest Arcosian developed a deep rage and willpower from those experiences. As he grew, Shiver dedicated himself to exceeding, and proved himself very capable in combat; in fact, some were want to call him a prodigy, one capable of using complex strategic and cunning planning to overcome opponents, a trait others associated to Lord Kale himself. The implication that the short, pathetic and underdeveloped fourth son could be seen as anything but a failure was abhorrent to Hale, and he dismissed the observations from his peers, as he continued to ignore Shiver's existence. As a result, Shiver's older brothers received even more attention and hands-on training from their father, as Hale purposefully sought to force their development in response.
When Shiver was sixteen, he was set upon by his brothers. In the past, the youngest sibling had fallen prey to the superior trio, as they joined effort and overpowered Shiver; however, this particular time, Shiver was ready... he had been training endlessly since the age of three, had pushed himself beyond the capabilities of his brothers, and had prepared for the time when he had had enough. And that moment had come. Shiver showed no mercy, he systematically countered, disabled, then killed each of his brothers one after the other. He started with a surprise attack on the oldest, the strongest, and then worked his way down - and throughout the battle, one-sided as it was once the eldest died, Shiver found he thoroughly enjoyed himself and relished in the thrill of real combat.
Needless to say, Lord Hale was shocked when Shiver informed him of the deaths of his sons. The sole remaining offspring delivered the news with a cold, emotionless statement, and even informed where his father could find the trio if he so decided to. Hale was outraged, brought to seething anger as he realized his only legacy and heir would be the runt of the siblings, and were it not for the fact Hale had no other remaining sons he might have destroyed Shiver in that moment. Still, after the events sunk in over several days, Lord Hale couldn't deny that Shiver had done what his brothers should have; the three had relied too much on one another, weak by dependency and numbers, only to be bested by a superior - if still underdeveloped and delayed - sibling that was able to overpower all of them together.
Lord Hale reluctantly accepted that, perhaps, Shiver was as capable as others seemed to say. Perhaps the immature Arcosian, only sixteen years of age and not yet an adult, was destined to become everything his father was and more. For the parent, the notion shifted in short time from agitation to intrigue, as Hale prompted his only remaining son to continue to develop and train, to learn and grow, and to exceed where his siblings clearly had not. Shiver was pleased with the result, though he had been more than willing to combat his father, had Hale decided to attack prior. And as a consequence, the young Arcosian knew that his life was now his to do with as he chose, he had earned his right to independence and now had his father's blessing to explore the world and beyond to experience more...
