Casper the Voice of War

For my people.

Personality:


Pros:

He is a pretty loud and talkative extroverted person, someone who speaks his mind aloud in any situation, someone who tends to stand out in crowds, despite being below average height. He has a very commanding personality. Just his presence is enough to straighten everyone's back. And while he may appear to be a jerk, deep down he cares about his people.
Casper loves weapons and spends a considerable amount of time taking care of them, or even making new ones. He even has a large collection, the greatsword he named Skull Breaker, being his favorite. Among his other likes are Capybaras and Howler monkeys, lamb and avocados in terms of food.

Cons:

Casper tends to get in people's business and personal space, often striking conversation when it's not a good time for one. He really gets into it when fighting, often disregarding his own life and life of his comrades.
He considers retreat an act of cowardice and would rather fight until his last breath. Casper fears poison dart frogs, hates arachnids, mainly blackweaver tarantula and hates the taste of pomegranate.

Motivation:

He loves fighting, a lot, but more important to him are his people. Their survival and prosperity are of utmost importance to him. He will fight for them till his last breath, he will lead them towards better future and if he fails, he'll just try again and again.

Backstory:

Casper grew up in a remote village on the Island of Origin. His father used to be a great warrior, but became sick when his son was born. He died soon after. Year after, Casper's mother married another man who brought her into a city, where they lived with his 3 other wives for 7 years.

During those years, Casper had 8 other siblings. 2 from his own mother. But he was abused by his father for not being his. He was never taught anything or cared for by him. Things didn't get better when his siblings started to bully him. He was short and weak, nothing he could do against his quickly developing siblings, despite being the oldest. His mother couldn't bare how her son suffered, but couldn't do anything, fearing her own safety.

But that changed when the father was killed in a raid. Casper's mother took him and his two brothers and married another man. He was kind and started learning his kids how to fight. He knew Casper's past, so he mainly focused on him, so Casper could catch up with his siblings. This lit up an interest in Casper. He slowly developed love for combat and weapons.

But life couldn't stop landing punches. His new father died 3 years later, leaving him, his mother and siblings alone. But this time, she couldn't remarry. No one wanted an aging woman with 3 kids. So Casper, at the age of 11, had to pursue his passion alone. He often snuck out to fight with other kids and came often bruised or injured. He even formed his own group, where, as a leader, trained himself and his friends in combat. While his mother worried about him, he ignored her and kept sneaking out.

His life went really fast, as he soon reached the age of 17. His family became sick and both his mother and siblings died, leaving him alone. By this point he caught the attention of adults for his combat skills and strength despite his age and height. Even tho he was still considered a child, they started to bring him on raids, where he quickly proved even more.

Casper's life took a new direction as he gained in muscle, strength and combat skill. He was given the surname Child of War. From a rookie, he quickly became a Warrior of Garamuth, in just 2 years, swearing his life and loyalty to the blood god.

His life quickly continued and he went on more and more raids, until he achieved the rank of Warlord of Garamuth at the low age of 25, making him the youngest person to ever attain the rank. He only continued from there. With his rank, he was selected as a raid leader, as his leadership abilities began shining through.

Only 2 years later, despite everyone's disagreement, he lead a successful raid on the daynean city Cafera, earning a spot in history. After many raids and victories, he hit a wall that would open a new path in his life once more.

Davaklion, as he introduced himself to Casper, was just another High templar defending against Casper's raiding party. he of course challenged the templar himself, as he always did, but the fight wasn't in his favor.

Davaklion and Casper were equal in power and presence. The fighting stopped just so everyone could watch the fight. It, however, took only a few minutes as Davaklion knocked down Casper's helmet and cut him across his face. He spared Casper and made his swear to never raid again. While Casper would rather die, he accepted and swore revenge on the High templar. leaving his raiding life behind.

Casper made a name for himself back home and decided to become a religious official, at the age of 27. He became popular and quickly rose through the ranks, even skipping some of the requirements, becoming the rank of The grand voice at the age of 39, despite others being at least 42.

It's been only a year and Casper already became loved by his followers. He knows the crimes of his religion and fellow officials, against their own people, and is already scheming a plan to put an end to their tyranny.

Leadership:

He is very known and celebrated among his people, someone who will be remembered in history as a hero and a great leader. He used to lead his men in war as a Warlord of Garamuth, and now continues to lead is peple as The grand voice, trying push changes and improvements to make his people prosper.

Feats of leadership:

During his life, Casper lead the biggest raid in history, on daynean city Cafera (Raid on Cafera), which is yet to be surpassed.
Among his achievements are several battles which earned respect of his men and made him known for not only for his ability to lead, but also his ability to fight.

Mater of weapons:

Casper is a great leader and tactician, but also a master of many weapons. He mastered every sword, axe, spear, halberd and mace type, alongside a few other weapons and several fighting styles, which he can effortlessly switch between, preventing his opponent from predicting Casper's actions.
Casper is a 40 year old teraany man and a nagataru of the Servants of the blood gods religion. He lives on the Island of Origin as a religious official known as The grand voice


Description:

He wears purple shirt and black robes over it, complimented by streaks of green and red. His whole outfit is really grand in style. Unlike others of his position, he doesn't wear a mask, which makes him very recognizable, not to mention the large scar that goes across his face, missing both eyes.
Children

The Legend:

Casper is, and will be remembered as one of the greatest tacticians and warriors in Nagataru history.

Hi there! You may not know me, but I am the sponsor of the Great Leader of Their People Summer Camp Prompt this year! Since you wrote this article, I would like to know, would you mind me reading it aloud on my Twitch channel this week? I have a lot to get through so it helps to do it live while people watch. I've scheduled to go live at 8am and 8pm Eastern Time every weekday. If you join and comment, I can go over your article right then and there! If you'd like to coordinate a specific date, let me know. If you aren't able to make it (or don't want to be present live), you can also always watch streams after the fact on my YouTube channel   BUT, if the answer is NO because you'd rather I not, it's okay! Not agreeing to be streamed definitely does not put you at any disadvantage for winning in my eyes. Please respond swiftly by replying here (make sure to click REPLY under my comment or I won't be notified), message me on my World Anvil profile page, Discord, or anywhere else you find me online.   Thanks again! Whatever you choose, God bless and much success! <3
