Personality

ISTJ-A

Where there's a spark there is a flame - and on the other side is the hand that lit it. And opposite the hand, is the one who extinguishes the fire, who seeks the other in an endless chase. He keeps to himself, in the darkest corner furthest away from everything, so far that the cold never really manages to leave his bones. But this is the path he chose for himself, or the one carved, he's not really sure himself anymore. Far away from any flame, anything that could even attempt to keep him warm, emit a feeling of safety.

No, fire is a destructive thing, a savage creature that finds no satisfaction and only leaves the scarred behind. That which has no mercy, that is who he hunts. Where there once upon a time was a fire, there is only a cold wasteland in its place. What was once a simple living has turned to a fixed purpose, one which cannot be left until fulfilled.

He stops at nothing once the hunt has begun. Like a moth to the flame, he burns up in the heat of the moment, leaving nothing left but a smoke trail. He doesn't eat, sleep, being so focused on the safety of others that he does not remember his own. On the brink of collapse, he carries on until the job is done. When he eventually crashes and burns, he does so knowing the job has been done.

He will go above and beyond to ensure the safety of others and the eradication of mages. He doesn't allow anyone to enter harms way, and can appear aggressive when attempting to keep others safe. His drive to protect often ends up pushing others away, as his harsh demeanour makes him appear more brutal than he means to be.

He's fiercely loyal to few and will lay down his life for others if the situations calls for it. He trusts slowly, but fully. Once his trust has been broken, it's hard to bring back if ever possible. As a man of the law he's also used to both giving and taking orders. While he gives much of himself to what he does, he knows when to stand down and let others lead if necessary.

When you do not see him anymore, when he has left the fire behind and turned to the cold, he surrounds himself with water. Water is a cleansing thing, which takes mercy on you. He keeps it close, for there is no fear for water, only an appreciation for all that it does and a serenity he cannot find anywhere else. He usually has no companions, and when travelling prefers to follow rivers and other bodies of water rather than the main roads. Water leads to life in any case, so he feels more comfortable staying close to it.

He renounced his faith a long time ago, when he lost the flame that had kept him alive for so long. They speak of Destiny, as if this entity was the cause of everything that happened. But to believe that, is to believe that Destiny wanted him cold and alone, and he will not bow down to those thoughts. No, he steers clear of such words, seeking a higher purpose in avoiding others in experiencing what he did. Part of him wants to believe, that he'll find another flame, another light again in the future, but when is uncertain.

History

- Morgan grew up in the magocracy of Siregal, a young nation still figuring itself out to self-govern. His family owned a farm on the outskirts of the nation, being a lineage of non-mages who had no wish to meddle in the affairs of mages.

- The little community in their homestead is self-governed, with Morgan's father being the appointed Sheriff. Morgan grows up helping around the community with various small jobs, squabbles and other things. 

- While he also grows up learning how to take care of a farm and fixing things around the house, he rather enjoys being able to help his neighbours and solving problems.

- As Morgan grows older, their homestead starts to be visited more by travellers and the like, as the nation grows. This causes a bit of unrest in their community, as this also leads to some fights with visitors who get too drunk and decide to bring a fight to the bar.

- As an adult, Morgan starts to travel around to other nearby homesteads, wanting to build a bond between them, so that their communities would be able to grow and lean on each other in case of hard times.

- While travelling around the region, Morgan is made aware of gangs that have passed through the region, which intrigues him. He decides to take up bounty hunting in an attempt of making the region safer and to minimize the harm done by the gangs out there. 

- On one of these hunts, he encounters a gang with a few mage members, something that makes him hesitant of mages henceforth. The distrust only grows when he's forced to flee the encounter upon being injured and leave the rest of the gang behind uncertain of whether he's being followed or not. 

- Taking refuge in a small homestead far from his original home, he meets Adeline. Adeline helps take care of him as he recovers from his injuries, and the two grow closer. Morgan stays in the homestead for a few months, and eventually decides to stay with Adeline and build a life with her there. 

- Years down the road he and Adeline are married, with Morgan acting as one of the Sheriff's lawmen within the little homestead. However, his past catches up to him when the gang he'd previously fled while being injured suddenly appears in the homestead.

- The fight that follows ends up with many injured and a few burned houses. Among the burned houses is his own, with Adeline soon after dying as a result of the injuries she sustained. 

- Distraught, Morgan soon after leaves the homestead in a search for revenge. Through rumours and sightings, he follow the leads to Ivras - somewhere he's never been before but nevertheless he continues his journey.

- While residing in Ivras, he learns of other people hunting mages - so called witch hunters. He joins up with a few, learns about the nation he's now in and takes up different bounties to make enough money to get by. 

- Still seeking revenge for the death of his wife, Morgan now tries to distract himself by capturing other mages to help make the world a safer place to stay.

- When not actively out hunting, he finds solace in exploring the nature of Ivras and finding a peaceful spot to spend the night. He rarely ventures to the bigger cities, unless absolutely necessary, and prefers to keep out of the way of others.
