Backstory
''Ostarian is initially reluctant to talk about his story. As such, the description of his backstory won't be available in-game until the player(s) reach a certain point in the main story. ''

Ostarian hails from Hermea, an island off the western coat of Avistan. Ostarian was one of many children who was a subject of a long term project named the Glorious Endeavor that sought to create the perfect human race by making each generation healthier and more talented than the last.

When Ostarian was fourteen he fell in love with a girl his age named Athaliah. Their young love seemed to be unbreakable.

When a child turns sixteen in Hermea, they must undergo a test of their abilities to see if they are suitable to become perfect citizens. If they fail this test, then they are exiled. Athaliah, being two months older than Ostarian, took her test first. Unfortunately she panicked under pressure and failed her test. Ostarian was heart broken when she was exiled.

Soon, the time came for Ostarian to take his test. He was to be tested to become a soldier to defend his homeland from potential threats. Up until taking his test, he demonstrated immense talent with the bow, and all of his peers were confident that he would pass. However, with his love for Athaliah still in his heart, Ostarian purposefully failed his test so he would be exiled from Hermea to be with her.

After his exile, Ostarian wandered the mountains of Varisia searching for his beloved. After training his body and searching for Athaliah for three years, Ostarian learned that she had been kidnapped by pirates in the Varisian city-state of Riddleport. He vowed to save her, but knew he would need to become strong enough to take on an entire band of pirates. He began training in the way of the ninja under a Varisian named Mircel. His determination to save Athaliah led him to complete four years of training in about six months.

As soon as Ostarian finished his training, he took on the band of pirates. His immense skill led him to slay nearly all of Captain Rasvan's crew. When Ostarian was about to kill Rasvan, the wicked captain held Athaliah at gunpoint and threatened to shoot her if Ostarian didn't surrender. Ostarian reluctantly surrendered, and Rasvan generously decided to free Athaliah. In turn, Ostarian was sold as a slave to Krognor, the new High King of the Five Kings Mountains, and was forced to work in the mining prison there.

Personality
Having worked so hard to reunite himself with his beloved only to be separated from her again and sold into slavery understandably made Ostarian a very hateful person. He doesn't talk much at all, and when he does, he comes off as very unfriendly. If his allies knew about his story, they would understand why he acts the way he does, but since he refuses to talk about his past, his allies take his behavior at face value and dislike him for it.

Appearance
Ostarian is descended from Azlanti, an ancient race of humans. As such, he has olive colored skin, black hair, and purple eyes. He also possesses the thick eyebrows and receded hairline of his heritage. He dons light, black armor and a mask that covers his entire face. The mask is shaped so that at the bottom is rounded and at the top it has three jagged triangular edges.
