John Parstock

Sir Johnathan Adam Parstock (a.k.a. John)

Once farmer, now a young knight, John Parstock is the every-man of our characters. He is quick to dismiss grand scale problems and move away from the spotlight. John, despite being a well intended fellow with a kind heart, has never harbored a strong drive or direction for his life. He simply wishes to use the money he earns as a knight to return to his farmhouse and continue living a simple, uneventful life which he feels very content with. John learns that there are bigger things than himself in the world, that which he cannot continue ignoring. He becomes one to fight for a cause greater than himself and adopt the necessary responsibilities a hero carries with him, no matter the position that puts him in.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born on Parstock Farm outside the Raziel Kingdom, grew up living a simple quiet life and never wanting more. John was content with the everyday duties he attended to. However he was convinced by his mother and father to move in closer to the Raziel Castle Town, given that his older brother inherited the farm. Because John was very comfortable and familiar with farm life, he bought land using a loan from the kingdom and started his own corn farm outside Raziel Castle Town, which he called "John's Corn 'n' Cattle Farm". However, soon after he acquired his land and farm, John found that he could not maintain it due to lack of appropriate resources and fell in debt to the kingdom when he was 18 years old. John attempted to provide for himself by working also as a bartender for a local tavern in Raziel Castle Town which he found that he very much enjoyed. He was told by a recruiter at this tavern that serving as a knight would help pay off the debts to his land and could also support the farm thereafter. Thus, John joined the Raziel Knight Prep-Academy and began his education and training to become a knight.
