271AC - 283AC, Birth and childhood: Barrulf was born in the end of the winter solstice; a healthy young babe, and well looked after by his mother and father. His mother cared and looked after him till he was 10 years old, raising him into a respectful and kind-mannered young boy. He received most of his teachings from her, and very rarely struggled to make new friends around the village. For his last two years, he began to interact with his father on a much more personal level-- taking any chance he could to go hunting or just watch him work. Barrulf very much enjoyed learning from his father, as he considered it 'more fun to survive.' out in the wilds at times.
283AC - 290AC, Teenage Years: Throughout most of his teenage years, Barrulf helped out around the forgery; giving his father and uncle a helping hand in whatever orders they had to fill out, as well as going hunting in the woods with his peers and friends. It was around this time that Barrulf began to take an admiration in his uncle-- Of course, his father was the better smith by far, but his Uncle was the one who introduced him into swordplay, and proceeded to teach him in simple techniques he'd learned from his time away at war. Barrulf looked up to his Uncle almost like a folk hero-- and would always pester him to spar and train with him. Safe to say, the two had a very strong bond between the two of them.
It wasn't until he was 19 that Barrulf truly put those skills to use. One day, a passing group of foot soldiers came to the shop to have their weapons repaired. One claimed he'd only had the sword a few days, and its handle had begun to rattle. Barrulf looked at the blade, and proclaimed that the man had simply not taken enough care with his swings. Bemused by this teenagers protests, the man said that the families steelwork was the problem. Shoddy workers. To this, Barrulf responded in anger, insisting on a duel between the two. To manys surprise, the Duel swung almost completely in Barrulfs favor; so much so the Foot soldiers blade snapped in two, leaving him with a broken weapon. After seeing this, His uncle marched forward and proceeded to praise him for his skills, and even said he'd be willing to enroll him in the Feer-Drakken school with the spoils from his wars. Barrulf always remembers this moment, not only for its grandeur, but for the pride he felt that day.
290AC - 301, Adult years: Not long after his accident, after a brief adjustment period to his lesser sight, Barrulf applied for and was accepted into the school of Feer-Drakken. Taking after his Uncle, he bid farewell to his Parents and uncle, and went off to Magnamere. years passed, with Barrulf flying through the lesser ranks of his schooling, and truly impressing his Tutors with his firm grasp on swordplay, and even his more agile move set, which they never really considered to be useful for the School. When he finally graduated at the age of 28, he spared no time in applying for the Calemberg Army, and swiftly gained a spot as a frontline Levie.
Unfortunately, Barrulfs pride and disregard for the rules would cost him dearly; he'd been praised for his creative thinking and reckless behaviour throughout his achievements. Why stop now?
Boldly he charged into battle, headstrong and reckless. He came up against a Blacktank on the Enemy forces-- and was swiftly beaten back with a wide shot at his head, causing him to fall to the ground incapacitated. What happened next was a blur for Barrulf-- He blacked out, and fell in and out on consciousness before finally awaking back at camp. When he questioned what had happened, people informed him that his Uncle had charged in to save him, and while successful, later died to the injuries he sustained. Feeling it was his fault, Barrulf left the Army on a discharge, and returned home to work the forge with his father, despaired about the loss he had brought about.
301AC - Present Day, modern years: For 4 years, Barrulf Worked in his fathers Smithery, every day churning out more and more blades with each passing war. It was only in 305AC, when his father finally told him that this wasn't what he wanted-- He was a warrior. He told Barrulf that he had to find himself, and learn to accept his mistakes and push forward. Fuelled by his fathers words, Barrulf left his home once more, heading for the Regalian Holy City of Regalia. Here, He met with the head of the D'vaud family, Hamelin, and was very quickly given a job in his guard, and has recently been promoted to Second Lieutenant of the Oppercalem section of the Regalian army; the Cadars wing.

Personality and Abilities
- First Paragraph: Barrulf often comes across as quite a Hardy and Stubborn man, as most dont get to see past his stony militaristic exterior. Strangers could possibly see him as a bit of a Temperamental man, but that his choices are just and straight to point. He could also be described as a Quiet man, as he rarely speaks unless spoken to, or when curious about a certain conversation or interaction.
- Second Paragraph: Despite his hardy appearance, and his kind mannered personality, Barrulf tends to have anxieties of whether he is doing the best he could be, or that he is simply not good enough to fulfill his dreams. This is likely due to him believing he has failed his country after being discharged from the Military. Despite this however, he feels confident in his ability to pull through tough situations, and as such, will push himself through fire before he admits defeat.
- Third Paragraph: When it comes to Friends, Barrulf is few and far between. But those he does have, he values dearly, and would often risk his own safety to preserve theirs. He truly opens up, Showing a muchmore Kind and Forgiving man, than how he is perceived in his line of work. Family wise, Barrulf has grown distant from his parents and siblings, having to cut emotional ties back in his training days. While he is trying to tie the broken bonds back together, it is proving difficult for him to do so, giving him the air of Desperation whenever speaking to them.
- Fourth Paragraph: Barrulf believes that justice and loyalty are needed within daily life-- but they are only the exception. He wouldn't be loyal to one whose actions he feels are ill-advised or wrong, giving him a Lawful Neutral approach to his actions. He creates his own set of rules and justifications, and will follow them to the letter, should they please him.
