- Perceived by others: George is often perceived as a man of honour, in the most simple of terms. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and to others that is emulated strongly in his interactions with others. Generally, he's a kind and positive person to be around, who possesses many virtuous values. Charitable to the needy, temperate from vices, diligent, and humble about his abilities, George embodies a person of wholesomeness. However, he is as well easily viewed as a stubborn and inflexible man, and is often seen as wildly tough on people who waver from righteousness even slightly.
- Feels on the inside: A culmination of his strong moral personality, George often is incredibly hard on himself, and takes himself very seriously. He constantly sees fault in his ways, and strives to better himself at each turn. Critique hits him hard, and even when misplaced, the knight often presses himself to corrections. This however, doesn't affect his confidence in himself, in which he has a diligent, and perhaps stubborn, take on challenges and struggle.
- Towards friends and family: George is an excellent friend to people, perhaps even too trusting of one. To his family, he's often nostalgic, and frequently likes to lose himself in conversation with brothers or uncles about adventures and tales. Along with friends, George is protective, loyal, and personable to them, and would take a sword for many friends or kin if it came to it. Lovers, however, is a different animal altogether. George has never been one to ever care much for lust or love (other than familial or brotherly love, however). He almost views himself as married to the small order and family he oversees, and someone else would get in the way of doing so.
- Morality: This is of no gray area to George. Morals are paramount in his everyday life, and embodies good and virtuous traits, that he expects in his family and allies. He's just in all manners, and views corruption or nepotism as a gross abuse of a leader's duty to the people he serves. George has a strong moral compass in all of this, and very much so knows right from wrong. The law for him, is not always paramount, as in his eyes, corrupt men and women can make the laws as they see them. Rather, his own sense of justice, law, right and wrong, is more important to him in his day to day. He's willing to challenge and reprimand others, even friends, who breach this in his eyes, especially members of the Brotherhood.
- Religion and Worldview: George is in strong connection to the Old Gods and Handrin specifically, the God of Rulers. He wishes to rule as righteously as he can over the Brotherhood, and lead his family in the best possible direction, and thus offers food constantly in worship to Handrin. While George is up the economic and social ladder somewhat, he doesn't view himself as above anyone. In fact, with his place at the head of the Brotherhood, George sees things in an opposite role: That he must serve the people and commoners of need, rather than they him.
- Sword-fighting: His most useful and practical skill, George is a very proficient swordsman. A champion of Bloodcast, George has honed his skill in all recent Regalian offensives and defensives, as well as his constant service in the Brotherhood. He's roughly similar to the skill of a Viridian Paladin in this sense. However, despite the freedom Bloodcasts have that gives them an edge, this is negligible for George, whose honour and morals often hinder him.
- Inspiring Leadership: While having no formal education like at the School of Leadership, George has been leading the Brotherhood of the Royal Oak for nearly twenty years, as well as has been participating in all recent Regalian wars. In this experience, he has a knack for being inspiring and leading the people who he gathers around him, as well as calling people to his banner.
- Honour: Despite the positive effect it can have at relation building, honour gets in the way of combat when the opponent doesn't care for it. Doing things such as not stabbing someone in the back, not using dirty tricks in combat, or even refusing to act against an enemy because it'd be dishonorable, honour can get in the way of many things. Politics is another issue here, as his moral code all but eliminates acting dishonorably to other people, which cripples his options of expansion.
- One Eye: George took a dagger to his eye during the Chrysant Wars early years, and miraculously survived the ordeal. While mostly having gotten used to it over the course of 15 years, George can still suffer from missteps or miscalculated thrusts.
- Describe any number of Character Quirks your character has, strange behavior that they exhibit in certain situations. For example, a character rubbing a beard when nervous is a quirk, or a character biting their lips when doing math is a quirk, or a character shuffling their feet when talking to someone is a quirk. Quirks are not mandatory and may be left out if the writer doesn't want to include them or can't think of any.
- Describe your character's skills; abilities they've developed, but not necessarily put at the forefront of their lives. For example, if your character is a good cook, but not a chef, or if they are a good horse rider but not necessarily a competition racer, you would mention them here. Feel free to mention multiple skills but try to keep your character from becoming over skilled.
- Describe three different activities, things or items that your character loves to see, do, taste or smell. Generally speaking these are things that make your character happy and in a good mood when they are near them/doing them. Go into detail why they love these things and then also explain how it makes them feel.
- Describe three different activities, things or items that your character hates to see, do, taste or smell. Generally speaking these are things that make your character annoyed or angry and in a general bad mood when they are near them/doing them. Go into detail why they hate these things and explain also how it makes them feel.

Life Story
Early Life
- Born on August 9th, 259 A.C. to George and Mary Hetton in a small township within Dragenthal.
- As his father's firstborn and his namesake, George was destined to follow in his footsteps from the beginning.
- George was raised mostly by his mother in his earlier days, and even so up until he began to walk and talk.
- Began basic education around six years of age. This was essentially just reading, writing, and basic stuff that his parents could afford to give him, which was mostly home taught.
- Was tutored by Mary in most basic subjects, before a professional tutor was hired when he was about eight. Being that his father, George, was grooming him for leadership, he was afforded this more intricate education, though nevertheless was not on par with anything a noble at his age would receive, and still mostly revolved around basics.
- George showed a rather dutiful outlook on his subjects (reading and writing, namely), which made it all the easier for him to begin picking up combat training from his father.
- Developed a kind disposition to others, and a positive personality very early on. George got along perfectly well with his younger siblings as they began coming along.
- Started his proper Bloodcast training in the capital at about 15. He started a bit earlier than expected, as the Drachenwald Crisis had just kicked off, and George's father sent him off so he wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.
- Graduated the school of Bloodcast at 21 years of age. He needed an extra year, due to beginning a tad too early.
- Returned to Dragenthal afterwards, immediately joining the Brotherhood of the Royal Oak to serve under his father.
- His father died when he was 26 during a skirmish with a local robber's gang, and the Brotherhood convened to elect a new Grand Master. Surprisingly, George was chosen due to his early showing of competency, skill, and honourable attitude. He became Grand Master George VII.
- George immediately got himself and the rest of the Brotherhood involved in the Chrysant Wars when he was about 30 years of age.
- This was the first war George participated in on a large scale, and earned himself the nickname of "The Bronze Knight" for it, due to his sturdy way of combat against the Slizzar and Allar.
- The Chrysant War came to a close when George was 35, and had cemented himself already as an excellent leader of the Brotherhood, and began introducing his brothers Geoffrey and Hyram into the fold as well.
- The Brotherhood was thrust back into another Regalian offensive during the Ranger Crisis, when George was 39 he led them to help the Empire in their war.
- George partook in many other Regalian skirmishes and wars throughout his time, not missing a single one during it all.
- After convening with his brothers, George decided the Brotherhood would benefit from expanding themselves beyond the small township, and traveled to Regalia to make a name for the Brotherhood.
