Guard Sergeant Chayton

Player: T'star

Persona's Name: Chayton
Age: 21
Rank: Guard Sergeant, Potential Bitran Heir

Physical Description: Muddy hazel eyes are set in a rough-hewn face. He is fairly tall, and other than eyes that seem to change color to reflect his mood, there is little remarkable about his appearance. Mid-brown hair, and a compact soldier’s build are not designed to attract the eye, though neither do they seem to repulse it. He typically wears only his uniform. The only unusual thing is that he wears his sword on his right hip rather than the more common left hip.

Personality: Chayton is quietly ambitious. He knows why he was sent to the guards and used it to gather ever scrap of knowledge he could about leadership. He is known for being strict amongst his men, but he has yet to ask them to do anything he, himself was unwilling to do. He has a firm grasp on reality, but also doesn’t let that get in the way of what he thinks needs to be done. He could go many ways, depending on how life pushes him. The difference between strict and tyrannous is a very thin one indeed. His ambitions, however reach far beyond the guard and he has been watching the heir dispute at the main Bitra hold closely.

Gender and sexual preference: Male, Heterosexual.

Persona's History: Born to Chadria, the Lord Holder of Bitra’s youngest sister, and a holder Mayton, on his southern most border. As first born he was trained from a young age in the runnings of the hold. With the arrival of two brothers and a younger sister, who received similar training, he was given a little more leeway as he was not the only Heir.

At thirteen he was shipped off to the guards. His father knew well the tendency of sons in Bitra lands to oust their fathers, gave his own son every reason to vent his ambitions elsewhere until Mayton was of a ripe old age. As he and Chadria wed young, that was not to be for some time, at least not if he could help it!

Chayton didn’t seem to mind. He immediately began to turn the situation to his advantage. To him it was a way to learn the job of holder and perhaps even Lord Holder from an entirely different angle. He never spoke his ambitions to anyone, and even endured heckling for his kinship to the Lord Holder without comment after the first fight. He never forgot how winning the fight had set him back in the estimation of his peers. He was not one to make the same mistake twice.

His climb through the ranks was steady though slower than most expected given his bloodlines, but he refused to call in strings. His own twisted sense of honor demanding he earn what he could so easily wheedle himself through politics. Politics were not neglected however. He kept surreptitious tabs on all his cousins, including the Lord’s heir, Kitt. When she impressed and Tenad started his campaign, Chayton stayed in the background quietly. It was always better that way. A word here, a hint there... rants listened to but never reported on. Chayton started to build himself a support base amongst a population group that he didn’t think Tenad or Kitt would ever have considered: the average hold worker, building on relationships started during his time as a guard. He would work his way up the ranks from there.

Meanwhile he maintained his reputation in the guard as a steady, reliable worker. There were problems of course, but even when there were problems he was always on record as willingly taking correction when he was in error. He made as certain as he could that no one saw his own frustrated rants over perceived slights, insults and stupidities... After all that would be counter to what he was trying to build for himself, now wouldn’t it?
