He wears a tracksuit bottoms with  beige mountain shoes. He also wears bandages over his arms, but these  seem to be used for aesthetic more than actual use.

Personality:

Craid  has been living in serenity for most of his childhood. This made him to  be quite the calm and sincere person. He likes to take a moment to sit  down and relax. He is always in for a good book to read or for a nice  refreshing cup of tea to raise his spirits. Nothing energizes him more  than taking a short break and collecting his thoughts. Growing up  without too much conflict made him actually frail to these kind of  situations. Whenever things tend to get tense or stressful, Craid isn’t  quite sure what to do and usually needs to take time and think about the  situation. He isn’t a big fan of going with your gut feeling. The fox  knows what he stands for and is very disciplined. When he makes up a  task for himself, he will complete it in an orderly and constructive  fashion.

The guy can actually be quite shy to new people. He  acknowledges his own intimidating looks, and doesn’t want to scare or  bother people he doesn’t know, afraid of scaring people away. Together  with his calm nature, it makes Craid a bit of a quiet individual who  doesn’t say many things too often. As previously mentioned, Craid is a  very sincere person and wouldn’t be quick to lie to other people for his  own benefit. He will try to hide stuff from others, but when asked will  usually answer honestly.

Craid loves to talk about his hobbies.  When asked about them, he usually opens up and sometimes even can’t stop  talking about it without an obvious hint. He is also very interested in  what other people do for their hobbies, and what keeps them happy, as  he likes to try new things that aren’t part of his usual routine. Craid  also loves kids and will always try to help the younglings out, even  willing to take total stranger kids into his residence. He is a really  caring person and has his door open for anyone who needs help. He is  also a hopeless romantic, loving stories about relationship and  adventures powered by love. Still, he never actually had a relationship  himself.

Abilities:

General:

This  fox is a very fit individual. Craid has been trained in the art of  sword fighting since he was a few years old and has never stopped  training. His combat skills are incredible. Craid is able to put up a  fair fight against most well-trained people.

Special abilities:

Coming  from a family of mythical hunters, Craid has picked up a few special  sensory abilities that go back to ancient times. Sadly, he has forgotten  most of them since he was never trained well in it and left his village  before he could specialize it. One ability that has been with him him  since then though, is the ability to lock-on to certain people.  Whenever someone hides, Craid can roughly estimate where his opponent  might stick around, making it easy for him to keep following his  opponents. (You can kind of compare it to Eagle Vision from the AC  games)

Craid is also the proud owner of a family heirloom. This is  the sword he usually carries on his back. It has magical properties  that make the blade effective against mythical beings such as vampires  and demons. His blade can be divided into two parts: a left one and a  right one, to make two one-handed sword out of his two-handed sword. He  has been trained in this fighting style, which makes him a master in  switching from heavy, powerful blows to more quick, swift ones in short  notice.

Strengths:

-Stays calm and collected

-Determined to protect

-Physically extremely fit

-Very trustworthy

Weaknesses:

-Needs to prepare himself for battle

-Easily startled out-of-combat

-Not a team player

Social relations:

Alina Marilayra: Craid’s  foster daughter. He has taken care of her since she was 9. Even though  they have a very strong father-daughter relationship, they also see  themselves as great friends, seeing as their age doesn’t really fit in a  father-daughter perspective. They learn each other how to be more  social and they pretty much enjoy the same things, like a calm  atmosphere and reading. The difference in their hobbies though is that  Craid likes sword fighting, while Alina likes being a big weeb, a thing  Craid can still not fully work with. Craid would do anything to protect  Alina from any further harm done to her.

Drake Frolig and Lara Chaol: Craid met Drake and Lara when he became a cook at restaurant  Butterscotch. The two were both working there so they could earn money  for their kids when they were still young. The three share the urge of  adventure and exploring, and thereby talk a lot with each other till  this date. Craid sees the two as his mentors to fit into Station  Square’s society. Drake has the most ridiculous plans which enthuse him,  while Lara can tell the most interesting stories about her life on  Maiauni Village.

Gwyzelle Taron: Craid's  cousin. When she was 7, Craid left her hometown to live far away in  Scelus, trying to start a life for himself as a cook. Gwyzelle could  always cheer him up. Whenever Craid was around, he always had some time  to play and chat with her. That's where she mostly got the idea that the  big city is great, with thousands of opportunities. Without Craid,  Gwyzelle would’ve never been where she was now. Craid feels very  responsible for his niece, which makes him a bit anxious for her, but  he's also excited to see what she makes of her future.

Rhyss Frolig: Eventhough they don’t talk to each other a lot. The two of them seem to  bond quite a bit. Maybe it’s because Craid sees a lot of Drake and Lara  in Rhyss. Craid tells him about his adventures, which really seem to  interest the cyan fox. He is also the one that helped him get away from  the destruction of Station Square. Overall, they seem like good  conversation buddies. Craid is amazed by how energetic and extrovert  Rhyss can be, and tries to follow his behaviour sometimes to get out of  his comfort zone.

Luka Frolig: Guess  who’s also the hopeless romantic! Craid and Luka both love the bad  roman genre and they often share stories. Luka has been on the look for a  partner for Craid for years, however results seem to be lacking. Craid  is fine with it. He would find it very uncomfortable if Luka actually  set him up with someone. It does make for some nice conversations with  her however.

Katie Briggs: Weirdly  enough Katie and Craid share the same music taste. You wouldn’t expect  Craid to be fan of loud rock music, but he is! The two regularly discuss  it when they’re both at work. Craid once helped Katie with a project  where she couldn’t use Derek as her drummer, seeing as it was a present  for Derek. The two trust each other. Craid finds Katie rather jumpy and  loud, which can bother him. He definitely has to be in the right mindset  when he’s talking with her. When he is he can have great discussions  with her though.

Keren Brazier: Craid once had a broken motorcycle. Luckily Katie knew someone who was  very good at fixing his. This was Keren. They met, shared their  interests in roadtrips and soon after became good friends. Keren now  visits Craid’s workplace, Restaurant Bittersweet, weekly for some fun  babbles with every staff member there. He’s actually starting to grow  quite fond of her.

Prescill Marilayra: Alina’s older sister. Seeing as Craid took away Perscill’s sister from  her, they are not on good terms. They see each other as enemies,  protecting the one they love the most. Craid has given up on trying to  forgive Prescill. She’s a heartless monster who would do anything to  make him suffer.

History:

Born  in Rahullikus, a village that is on the other side of the country,  Craid was raised by two loving parents. Their parents, just like several  other families in this village, where mythical hunters, trying to scare  and hunt down mythical creatures that were disturbing peace on the edge  of the country. It was here that Craid earned his sword by training in  swordfighting, eventually becoming the best sword fighter of his age in  the village. However the fox had other ambitions, and realized that he  would never achieve his goal in the village he has grown up in. He  wanted to become really good at cooking, finding a job in that  expertise. Helping the people in need in another way. His parents seemed  to hesitate, but after a while accepted that their son would find  another way to become successful.

Once he was 18, he moved to  Station Square to find a good job there. He quickly got work at a small  café and eventually a year later he became a cook at Restaurant  Bittersweet. There he met Drake and Lara, who he got befriended with.  After that he went out and explored more of the city, slowly starting to  get that things were way different in the big city. Craid’s life was  hectic the upcoming two years, as he struggled a bit with finances and  lived in a really bad apartment, but eventually he had climbed his way  up. He started to earn more and got a better apartment, making his life  less tough.

On one fateful night, when Craid was 20 and Alina was  9, Craid was wandering through the same alleyway as Alina and her sister  Prescill. Craid overheard their conversation. Prescill was forcing  Alina into drugs dealing, seeing as the two were poor and Prescill was  in need of extra money. Alina steadfast didn’t want to. She yelled, but  Prescill, being the older sister, was too strong to go into an argument  with. Craid stepped in, deciding to explain that what Prescill was doing  was wrong. This angered her. Craid offered them both a place to stay,  Alina immediately accepted, thinking it would be the right thing to do.  The two sisters would finally be safe at a home with a friendly man.  Prescill, being older and wiser, was suspicious of Craid. Seeing as she  already felt scolded at, Prescill didn’t accept Craid’s help and  actually tried to fight him. She was no match for Craid, even with the  small knife she was carrying with her, Craid didn’t even have to draw  his sword. That was when Prescill fled, leaving Alina alone, accusing  her of not sticking with her family. Alina wanted to stick with Craid,  so she moved in with him. Craid would take care of her as a foster  parent.

During this period, Prescill became a more experienced  fighter and challenged Craid several times to fight for her sister.  Every attempt to get her back failed. Prescill wanted nothing else than  Craid’s death. Every new attempt angered her more. One day, Prescill  came as far as to give Craid an X-marked scar on his eye, almost  blinding him on the right side. For some reason after that, Prescill  disappeared and the two never fought again. Now it was four years after  Craid took in Alina. Now that Prescill stopped with the headhunting,  things finally seemed back to how the fox imagined his calm life would  be.

Eventually the destruction of Station Square came around. The  fox was currently living there. He had to somehow get out of the city  with Alina as soon as possible, however Alina was somewhere in the  streets. She called him, giving him her location. Alina wasn’t there on  her own. She was trying to help Rhyss, who was stuck in the rubble. He  broke his left arm. Craid helped Rhyss get out of Station Square. Alina  decided that it would be better if they went to Craid’s training shack  in Scelus to see if she could patch Rhyss up. He helped Rhyss recover,  together with Alina. When the two were taking care of Rhyss, he seemed  to actually learn from Rhyss that being afraid of your own appearance  won’t help you with anything. Craid was still struggling with his scar,  which made him even more frightening. Rhyss’ words seemed to help him a  bit.

Currently Craid is having a very stable life. His job is fun,  he gets paid a lot and his daughter is studying to get a fulltime job  of her own. He has lots of time to read, train and just have fun. The  only thing that’s missing now is a girlfriend. And maybe some more  actual friends instead of hanging around the restaurant, talking with  his daughter’s friends. All will be fine eventually.
