Physical Description:
Before you stands a tall, skinny human male. His height causes him great pains when it comes to manual dexterity because his limbs are awkwardly long but thin. Adding to his immense height is a full head of curly red hair. If it weren't for his open faced helmet, it would stand up and out, giving him another two or three inches in height. From under the visor of his helment are a pair of cold and calculating green eyes. His continual use of armor shields him from the sun's rays, which may be a good thing because redheads have the notorious reputation of burning easily in the sun. Because of the armor, his skin stays pasty white. In his early years the symbol of Tempus decorated his shield and breastplate. Recent events have altered his point of view and so his armor refelects his new outlook on life. A small engraved mailed fist over his heart now adorns his polished steel breastplate. A larger version of the same symbol decorates his metal shield.
Background:
Collin was brought up in a military family from West Gate, Vodalia. His father (Strombard) served many years in the West Gate guard. His whole family for as many generations as they can remember have all served the Vodalian empire as guardsmen. As part of the military, discipline was taken very seriously in the family. Collin learned to march and snap to attention before learning to crawl.
Collin's mother (Allana) served the military as cleric of Tempus. Her worship of Tempus combined with a short temper was a lethal combination. For the longest time it puzzled Collin as to why Tempus would favor such a vengeful disciple. In his mother's own words after Collin got into a fight with a local bully...and lost: "If someone disrespects you, beat them down. If someone strikes you, MAKE THEM PAY!". Eventually he'd discover the reason.
Together his parents raised their son to be the best soldier he could possibly be. The father taught him the practical side of warfare, while his mother preached the spiritual. Initially Collin would follow in his mother's footsteps by worshiping Tempus, but he was slowly corrupted by his mother's vengful nature and the Vodalian government.
Those words his mother repeated to him would become more true as he grew older. While initially he chose to follow his mother's path, and serve Tempus. His mother's vengful attitude overcame his good war-like sense. After being exposed the life of murder, hate, and revenge, it was only a matter of time before Tempus turned his back on Collin.
Despite the regimented life-style of the military, he was a free spirit. In the end his environment forced him to make a choice to abandon his god's ways and adapt to his own moral code, revenge, above all seek revenge for any wrong doings. Such ways of thinking correspond well to Gul'ren who took him up after Tempus abandoned him. Something that can't be stamped out of him is the way he values friendship. To Collin and Gul'ren, if you treat his friends bad, it just means there's another reason for him to seek revenge.
In his youth, Collin loved to party, get rowdy, and fight. He wouldn't start fights on a whim, but taking other people's words and actions out of context or in a bad way could very easily provoke a brawl. He's got a very short fuse, inherited from his mother, and won't stop fighting until he's dead, unconcious, or his opponent stops moving (usually). With Gul'ren on his side now, it's more than likly that his opponent will suffer a fate that is death.
He has little patience for...well, anything really, but most of all disrespect to him, his friends, his family, and his god will set him off to no end. The only time he shows any patience is in battle. He is very patient when it really counts...one of his father's better traits.
He's also quite a chef. He spent a lot of his younger years in his clerical training in the kitchen. He was sent there for discipline, but he actually grew to enjoy cooking. He was always trying new, and different recipes...sometimes to the congregations of delight, other times to their disgust. By the time he was a full-fledged preist, he had become a gourmet chef, and often used his cooking skills to raise money for the church. Another skill he picked up in the kitchen was brewing. He can make a mean ale, or a fine wine. He used this talent to raise money for the church as well. He has also studied many plants. Particularly those for medicinal purposes.
Following his enlistment into the Vodalian Special Forces, he's completed two missions with varying degrees of success. On his third mission, a crisis of faith overwhelmed him. He came to realize his soul was corrupted by the missions he had been given by his government. Cast out by his God, he was consoled by another, a more devious and evil deity. Empty and alone, his soul in turmoil, Gul'ren came to Collin when his crisis overwhelmed him. Collin accepted Gul'ren, believing that he could help fill the void in his soul. Only time will tell if such a void can be filled.
