The Roadalian Military
Name: General Leonard Roadalia
Age: 34
Race: Kildran
Description by @Crucified Fear
General Roadalia heard the rumblings just like everyone else. The dull droning in the darkest corners of the taverns and town alleys. An incessant buzzing beyond only the most astute powers of perception. A whispered chant: The True King of Roadalia. And Leonard Roadalia ignored and disavowed these convictions, just as any sane Roadalian would.
He was well aware of Queen Gayana's deteriorating mental state, and was appalled by the actions she took against those deemed unholy, but he saw mutiny and the molestation of the concept his ancestors fought for to be a far greater crime. Leonard didn't think his last name gave him right to anything. Despite being the descendant of the country's first ruling family, he would fight and die to ensure Roadalia remained a Queendom. It was his destiny.
Leonard has in a way tried his entire life to run from his surname. When he was of age, he attempted to enroll into Roadalia's military academy under a false name, to ensure he was given no special treatment. It was a stigma he has battled his entire military career, and the only time the typically mild mannered man would become furious. However, with his regal smile, soft spoken demeanor, unparalleled prowess with a lance and his fearless leadership, Roadalia's men have come to love and respect their General.
Leonard spends his free time in studies, enjoying music and attending the various charities spread out amongst the country. But even the most upstanding men have their secrets. His love of liquor and wine behind closed is often whispered about. He has been seen many times seeking private council from Janer Courtine, Captain of the Holy Knights of Azae. The nature of these meetings are unknown, and none dare question them. But rampant speculation can go unspoken.

Camphor was born to a family of farmers in a small nameless village, one of many spread the countryside of Roadalia. He was the youngest of five, and as soon as he was fit enough his father sent him to work in the field. As a child, Camphor enjoyed it. Working together with his family and friends, planting seeds and watering them daily, watching it grow and then harvesting it together with everyone. But when he grew up, he grew bored. He listened to the news and tales brought home by those who worked in the city, who worked in fishing boats and as soldiers.
Those adventures were exaggerated, like any other story out there, but for Camphor it sounded like a tale right out of the books. Fighting the bandits, saving the innocents, serving the Queen, serving under the captains and watching as the great Holy Knights pass by the main road and enter the castle to report their mission. The dangerous waves out in the sea, the touch of a woman from a foreign nation. Everything sounded so grand to him, Camphor decided to run away from home one night.
Camphor knew his father would never let him leave home, as he heard him talking about having all of his sons work as farmers just like himself. He had disdain for Roadalia's military and government. When Camphor arrived in the first city closest to the village, he joined the military.
Camphor was a rebellious soldier, one who never really followed the rules and one who likes to wander off on his own. He was reckless, too. Rushing in without thinking, since for him, it felt more heroic. But everyone knew he was a good man, one who kept all of his salary and reward so he could send them back to his family. Camphor was also known to be adventurous, volunteering for missions that would require him to travel outside the Queendom.
During one of these years, he met a woman. A kind woman, one who stole his heart with his smile. He never understood why she loved him, a man who ran away from his family. But he loved her so much he was willing to change, and so he did. But his happiness did not last long, as she died during childbirth. It destroyed him, but he had to be strong for his daughter. He watches as she grew year by year, cried when she spoke her first words and taught her how to walk. She grew up, strong and healthy. As smart and as kind as her mother. And the goddess Azae took her away from him too, a freak cold the doctors did not understand and medicine could not heal. Their deaths changed him, older and wiser and more reserved.
When he was 34, finally a Captain, Camphor lead his own team when escorting a church cleric in attending a church meeting between the way of the father and the way of the mother. The cleric wanted to visit an event in Kildra. As it turns out, it was an illegal underground gladiator arena. Nobles and rich merchants gathered to watch a fight. Man versus man, woman versus woman, man versus wild beasts. The sight disgusted him, the cheering and gambling disgusted him, but the cleric's Hypocrisy disgusted him the most. Then came the children.
They came from many different ages. Teen and kids, the youngest was probably just as old as his brother's son back home. The looks on their faces reminded him of a soldier's face after a war, grim and empty with emotion. Then Camphor realized, these kids had seen death and realize that they could die today.
He watched as a gate opened, and a pair of wolf jumped in and started hunting. One of them moved so fast, it leaped and caught a child by his neck. The screaming was drowned by booing, the crowd disappointed that one of the fighters would be downed so quickly. Camphor stood there and watched as the other children started to work as a team, circling the wolves. They were quick, but still outnumbered and outsmarted. But soon, the wolves were dead. Then a horn was blown out of nowhere and the children started killing one another.
Slashing with their sword, tearing with their sickle, stabbing with their spear and kicking and punching when they could. When the dust settled, one was left standing. A girl. Thin and dirty with blood, her black hair brown with dirt and she tiredly raised her arms. The crowd cheered, the announcer proudly announce her as the winner. The girl walked in circle then she stopped. Their eyes met for a second, then the girl turned and left.
It moved something within him.
Camphor took his bag of money and left to find the organizer. Buying her freedom was not easy and was not cheap. She was one of the best killers they had, but he offered them all of his money. It was enough for them, and they released her chain. The girl was quiet when she talked she made sounds that sounded like wild animals. Grunt and growl, Camphor understood that she might not understand his language. But still, he took her home with him. It caused a small scandal, a captain of the military buying a slave? Camphor told him the truth: She reminded him of his daughter, and no one asked any more questions.
Camphor paid a girl to wash her, clean her. When she was all nice and clean he cooked them a meal and was getting ready for dinner when the girl attacked him with a fork. He took her down and laughed. He praised her, told her her ability with a blade was amazing and that it was natural. He gave the nameless girl a name, for her new life. Thera, after his dead daughter.
Camphor taught her to write and to read, to fit in the Queendom, but he did not push her when he noticed that all the religious talk discomforted her, and cried when she called him "Father" like his daughter once did in the past. He also taught her the discipline of a soldier and many combat related lessons she never learned before. He was there when she volunteered for the military, he was there in combat with her by her side, and she was there to save him when his horse was taken down with an arrow and he was stuck beneath the dead horse.
The injury put an end to his military career, to his days of adventure. But Camphor was fine with it, he now watched as his daughter replaced his position and soon offered a place in the Holy Knight. As a father, he could not be prouder of her.
Now retired, Camphor lives in a small town where he helps his family to sell their harvest to bigger cities and even out of the Queendom.
