Full Name: John Claudio (The Oakleaf Knight) Age: 41 Race: Ailor | Anglian Gender: Male Sexuality: Heterosexual Eye Color - Dull Green Weapon of Choice - Longsword and Shield Core ConceptReligious Views - John is staunchly Unionist, with his patron being Theomar as he created the Viridian Order so John sees himself as more protected with him. More than that, he protects a lot of Unionist Values, and sees the Void as evil and cruel (the Bintaar is grouped in with the void, he doesn't know the difference). He also dislikes the Exist-aligned folk, but to a much less degree, mostly because he doesn't know their danger. His views on dragons are a bit better, but he still mistrusts most of them because of the actions of Rikkira during his early stay in the empire. Core Concept - John is your stereotypical knight in shining armor, a good hearted man wishing to do right in the eyes of his Empire. He questions no decision by the empire, and to this day sees even the Chrysant War as a necessary evil. He's also extremely good at combat, something that he prides himself on even in his age.

Other than being jacked, John is your typical Anglian Knight, clean shaven face, hair (that is greying, unfortunately), and emerald green eyes. Throughout his years, however, he has gained quite a lot of scars along his torso and arms, though he conceals them. Ages 0-10; 269-279 A.C John was born in the very wealthy family of House Claudio to a middle aged Viridian man and some unidentified mother that is supposedly a slut to his father that didn’t want John. John had a very bad childhood growing up, ever since the age of five his father got on him to train to be a Viridian, not giving him much time to play with the children or make friends around his manor. He honored his father instead of really loved him, which most Claudios to this day would agree it’s sad. When he did hit the age of ten, he was immediately sailed to Regalia to train in Kurtenwald Castle, where he met most of his childhood friends. He enjoyed his time here and was a very quick learner in the Longsword category according to most of his teachers. Age 10-20; 279- 289 A.C John Was introduced to forging relatively early when in training. It happened when he stumbled upon a smith in the castle that made the armor and weaponry. When John asked how he could learn it (Seeing he was so interested) the old smith said that after classes john could visit him and take private lessons (Which he ended up doing.) Other than that the only subject John really had any trouble on after extensive amounts of training was Horseback Riding, due to his forgetfulness to take care of the horse and the balance he had on the animal. Other than that, when he graduate at the age of twenty, his family gave him a Crysteel Dagger which he still cherishes to this day. He got his title by nurturing an oak tree sapling in his room to experiment with Horticulture, he eventually put it in the premises of Eulenburg Castle. Age 20-30; 289-299 A.C At the Beginning of the Chrysant War, John really wasn’t involved too much due to his training, but when he graduated he was almost immediately sent to help out in Hadaria for the remaining three years of the war. He fought with great force, often being chosen in front lines. He preferred to ram allar soldiers down with his horse, if his horse was killed he would finish the allars he trampled, often being an effective, yet risky most that almost cost him his foot. John did get lots of injuries from the war, most of them are not visible or noticeable to this day. After the war he settled down in Regalia with his family, living in luxury for all of the time he was there seeing he was so rich. Age 30-41; 299 A.C- Present John lived the noble life until his family moved down to Patrician and majority of them moved back to Anglia, where he then lost a good deal of his riches but enough to live on. Currently he can be seen at bars with other Viridians or sparring people he thinks fit to spar. As of five years from 306 A.C he has been trying to find a wife and only recently has become semi-successful. He wears his oakleaf emblem proudly and often likes to at least keep one oakleaf pendant on him at all times. John lost one of his arms in the Brallona Invasion, a fact which still haunts him to this day, and after the injury, he returned to Anglia for a time. However, now John has returned to Regalia with newly inspired confidence.
